Very rude and unhelpful, and often snaps back at students that ask questions during lectures. He is also unfair with his grading policies. His class is very easy, with very little work, but he is very unfair, very rude, and overall, very unhelpful.
Elementary School-level students can pass his class, which tells you something. I think ducks have more personality than this jerk.
Easy teacher, but you won't learn s**t. Terrible professor.
He sometimes is available to help with papers, but only on his own time, which could mean two hours after class or two days before it's due. He indeed is very snippy with students, but look on the bright side - he's easy as hell, and anyone can get an A.
easy doesn't always mean good. i hated him.
Doesn't give a crap about students, which is why he makes this class equivalent to a 6th grade class. He just stands there, tells us to read stories and write what we think about them in a journal, and then he gives us open-book tests. What a joke.
New teacher on board, a little scruffy appearance, but really nice and easy to deal with. No sweat class. I never read a book, just used cliff notes and got an "A"
Extremely easy! Guaranteed A.
he is da boom
really easy and super cool and nice.
MAN this class was the EASIEST class I've taken even back in high school. I got A all of the essays. He's a bit weird looking and when he talks he sounds as if he has a stuffy nose. He NEVER gave tests nor homework, he gave us about 2 weeks to finish 1 essay. I recommend him to EVERY incoming freshman taking ENC1101.
That is not true.he is so nice in person and also he is so easy.his tests are easy his work is too .Compare to other teacher's he is the best.don't judge a teacher on how they look,it counts from the heart and how nice a person is.if you look at him by how he dresses then get a life.i took him for enc0012 then enc1101and soon enc1102.
he is a wonderful instructor, if you want to learn, but dont study hard. he is perfect. for the student that called him a jerk you have to be an even bigger jerk to recgonize a jerk.
very cool teacher I would love to keep having him as my english teacher but he aint teaching anything any higher
Murphy has to be the BEST English professor at BCC. He's laid back, helpful and considerate of his students. I wish I could have him for every subject, every semester. He is the GREATEST!!!!!
This ppl. don't know what a bad teacher is. First I took Mr.Senior for ENC1102 and OMG! such a jerk! he made me drop the class, cuz if not he was going to give me an F for MADE UP reasons!!! so, I took Mr.Murphy and WOW! what a teacher! such a sweet heart, willing to help and cares for students. Easy A, and you do learn. I do recommend him! trust m
Mr.Murhpy is my best English professor. He is detailed, helpful, and understanding. He is a bit eccentric, but he is the perfect example of "don't judge the book by its cover, but its content”. I love this professor.

Mr Murphy was a sweetheart with a sence of humor. He was knowledgable if you asked questions, but Very Easy Class!! You could be late every day...... There was never a frown on his peaceful face. Easy A take him!!!!
I had this professor for Enc 1101 and 1102.He's really easy.He doesn't give much tests.he's not a challenging teacher.If you just need this class to pass with a A take him.if your major is English don'ttake him.He's a teacher were you express your self in writing and its not about right or wrong.Easy A.And he's son is soooooooooooo cute.
OMG!!! I ADORE this teacher. He is such an easy-going person and he tells stale jokes that make you giggle anyway. He's helpful and very clear. Even if you do not understand, he meets with his students one-on-one and grades your paper.[cut class in 1/2 for meetings]. TAKE HIM TO LEARN! TAKE 'EM FOR AN EASY "A". EEAASSSSYYYYYYYYY..HE ROCKS!
This professor is awsome! He is so sweet and open to everyone's opinions. There is one journal which you write in class, no tests, and three papers you turn in whenever you want as long as its before the end of the semester. Doesn't get more lenient! If you do all the journal assignments you will learn a lot about literature! Take him easy A!
this guy is super nice. never in a bad mood. but the class is sooo boring. 3 easy papers to write. hes a good teacher!
This was the best professor i ever had. Extremely helpful and caring. Before i took this class i hated english, but he made the subject so easy and understanding. If you are like me who was scared of english, i would definitely recommende him
Awesome professor, really easy and helpful. very laid-back and as long as you do your journals you'll pass the class.
This professor is very nice and laid back.I took this class over the summer and you have three papers and journals that you turn in at the end of the semester so there is no pressure on you at all. Overall this class is very easy.
HE IS FANTASTIC! I HAD HIM FOR ENC1101 AND NOW IM TAKING HIM FOR ENC1102! HE HELPS THE STUDENTS WHEN YOU ASK FOR IT! HE LOVED MY WRITING AND HE WAS GREAT I TOOK DR. CLEARY BEFORE HE'S THE MOST HORRIBLE PROFESSOR ANYONE CAN EVER HAVE AND SWITCHED TO MURPHY. TAKE HIS CLASS! I GOT AN A U CAN TOO!
basically a couple of words would describe this man and thats hes great
HIS WAY OF TEACHING IS EXCELLENT. A LOTS OF FREE WRITING. ONLY 4 PAPERS. VERY HELPFUL.
PROFESSOR MURPHY IS A SWEETHEART! HE IS VERY ENCOURAGING. HE IS VERY POSITIVE PEACEFUL MAN AND I RESPECT HIM AND HIS TEACHINGS. I THINK THAT IF STUDENTS TAKE THE TIME TO NOT BE SO ABSORBED INTO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO AND NOT WHAT THEY NEED TO DO, THEY'D STICK AROUND AND SEE HE'S JUST AN ALL AROUND WONDERFUL PERSON.I HAD A GREAT TERM IN HIS CLASS.
Murphy is great! I was worried english in college would be boring but his class made me want to wake up and go to school. TAKE THIS CLASS!
I got an "A". He's a cool dude...never angry and always crackin jokes. The only grades were 4 term papers, journal entries, and an open book test. He grades each paper when its due, then gives it back so you can make corrections and turn it in later for a better grade. He always stays after class to answer questions.
I received a "B". The comment below this one is mine as well - I took him for 1101, then for 1102. His 1102 class was extremely easy but also boring. He pretty much read to us every day lol. Our assignments were the daily journal entries, a presentation of a song, and a 5 page research paper. The midterm and final were a joke. Easy A or B
Murphy is the best. His class is easy but he still teaches. BCC seriously needs to make him a full timer, this adjunct nonsense has got to stop! it makes his few classes they actually give him impossible to get a slot in, cuz people are like warring to get it in
I took this teacher a while back,but he is the best, His class is very eay, he sometimes lets u leaves early, he does not rarely gives test, but if he does its easy an got an A for Both Enc1102/1103...I would reccomand him to anyone. I wish he could teach MATh!! Take my word!
He is a freat professor, I had him for the summer class and he didnt give any test, exams,or quizes. All you have to do is read 7 short stories he gives to the class and write 1 pg paper on them, and 4pg research paper, and an anaylsis paper on a poem thats it, esay as pie. I got an A! Take him hes great.
Professor Murphy is a sweetheart and very laid back. A lot of your grade is based on journal entries (which you have to show up to class to know what to write) a few simple papers and a very easy midterm. The final was a paper we wrote at home and turned in on the last day. Take him if you are looking for an easy A.
His class was very easy. He makes you write 4 essays that range about 2-3 pages and he reads mostly from the book (which I don't agree with reading to college students cause it insults their intelligence but that's his perogative). He doesn't make you stay the whole class and has good humor about things.
This teaher is great got scared of him in the begining but he turned out to be a great tacher!! i wish i can take him again for enc1102 ! is very easy going and does help alot on the essays! gluck
Excellent teacher!!! By far the best teacher I've ever had!! Class is pretty boring to sit through, but never kept us more then 45 minutes. For the most part yuour grade is made up of 4 essays that are very easy! Highly recommend this teacher!
you gotta read 4 stories,type 4 essays about what you thought.reads poems,asks you what you think.the midterm is a 4 page essay about a movie/book or whatever that was based on a real life person,you just have to write the similarities between the work and the person's life.thats it then you get your A
cool guy. good sense of humor. lectures are clear and to the point. usually dismisses class early.
GOOD PROF. CLASS IS KIND OF BORING TO SIT THROUGH BUT HE USUALLY LETS YOU OUT EARLY. EASY CLASS. HE'S VERY HELPFUL. I RECOMMEND HIM.
He was a very interesting instructor.
He is a great professor! He allows you to turn in your papers late if you couldn't do it on time for any reason. At the end of the semester he allows you to rewrite all your essays to get a better grade. He gives no tests. Very easy class to pass it. He also has a sense of humor, I was never bored.
I LOVE THIS TEACHER VERY NICE RESPECFULL AND FUNNY, YOU LOVE HIM TOO A LOT. I RECOMMENT HIM A LOT.
HE IS EASYGOING BE RESPECTFUL GO TO THE LAB DO THE ASSIGNMENTS AND JOURNALS HES REALLY GREAT HE ALSO TEACHES ENC0021 OR 1101
Took him for 1101 and 1102 he was such a sweet guy and he really cares about his students. i wish they would make him a full time professor at bc. I really recommend him. he is more than fair when it comes to grading and he gives second chances on essays
Awesome professor. Give chances on writing assignments and is extremely helpful. I recommend him, his fair with grading. Take him you will not regret it. I'm happy I did!!!ENC 1102
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! He IS REALLY EASY, HELPS WITH YOUR ASSIGNMENTS AND GIVES CHANCES IN TURNING IN YOUR ASSIGNEMTS LATE! Easy A!
i took him for 1101 and 1102 and loved both. attn. bcc admin. he really needs to be a full time professor here
HE IS GREAT!!! TAKE HIM. ONLY HAD ABOUT 5 PAPERS THAT HE GIVES YOU A CHANCE TO REWRITE AND DID JOURNALS IN CLASS! I HATE ENGLISH BUT I GOT AN A!
LOVED HIS CLASS HE IS AWESOME!!!!! HE DOES SAY MUCH BT WHEN HE DOES TALK LISTEN..SUPPER EASY
He may be good. But DO NOT take for summer term. Too many essays to write. I ended up with a D. and Im a A student. Hes only good for ENC1101. Bad for Summer term
I took him for summer term last year. Biggest mistake of my life -_- I wish I waited for Fall. He assigned too many essays at once.
Good teacher. But not for summer.
I agree with the other few. Do Not take for summer, He does give lots of essays almost every day. I took Vasquez, Ricardo for Summer. MUCHH Bettterr than my first attempt
no good for summer term. if you want to fail.
Not very clear.
Excellent professor! I would recommend him to anyone! I had an aversion to MLA from a previous English professor who did not seem to realize that the class is not a graduate class and we were not going for our Ph.D. Since I took professor Murphy I no longer have an aversion to MLA! Thank you, Prof. Murphy!
He's the perfect teacher for students who don't need to be babied the whole way through. He let's you do your thing and whenever you're finished and all clear on what's assigned you can leave class. Homework isn't collected until the end and your final is a paper with great topics to choose from, loved this class!
My first professor ever, and I loved him!! Awesome guy. Extremely gnerous when it comes to grading... and he usually let you write whatver you wanted for journals with the exception that he chose the topics :) I had him for summer term, and he gave me an A!!
he is great i took him for the summer, i mean we had a lot of papers to write but he would be very lenient with the grading and if u didn't like a grade that you received you were allowed to do it over. we did a lot of free writing in class, just a little homework but it was very easy. i highly recommend him.
Great professor! Easy class ENC1101 ENC1102 took both with him and passes with flying colors! Just make sure ur never absent and do all of ur journal entries :)
He is an amazing professor! As long as you keep up with the work and don't wait to the last minute to do journal entries ad homework you'll be fine. He has an awesome personality and will definitely keep you entertained. He's awesome.
One of the best professors i took last semester! Funny, and very laid back. He allows you to rewrite papers and accepts late ones as well. He is amazing. Just make sure to do you journals because he does collect the at the end of the semester. Oh and the final was super easy as well.
Very organized, knowledgeable, understanding and helpful. Thumbs up to Prof Murphy!
He is the best professor i have !
Literally a joke. expect to have an easy A towards the end of the semester. all assignments are not due until the final week of school. So if all you care about is to improve your grade rather than learning how to write, take him. just make sure to have him for enc1102 lol
Very nice professor, helpful and easy to understand.
Great teacher! Makes a subject I hate easy and interesting. Took him in the summer and work full-time and do not agree with the people that are saying he gave too many essays. It was several 1 page papers and one 4 page paper. Super laid-back and helpful.
Gotta say I did not expect such a good grade. I'm the type of person who waits for last minute to get ANYTHING and EVERYTHING done. Took him on winter class and it was a piece of cake. A lot of work overall, but hey, it's college class, even weight management will be tough, but if you do the work, you will pass.
Easy A
GREAT PROFESSOR!! Explains everything until you comprehend it and he gives great feedback. Easy "A" Trust me take his class there's no way possible you will fail unless you don't apply yourself.
Humble, Funny, Very respectful professor. You have to be extremely lazy not to pass his class. I really appreciate this great professor. Wish we had more people like him around campus. Thank goodness for professors like these.
I retook this class with Prof. Murphy last semester after having a horrific experience with another teacher. My previous "teacher," said that we were supposed to now everything Prof. Murphy was teaching in this class. Be careful who you choose! Great online Homework for improving grammar and punctuation. Great guy!
Excellent method of teaching - rather than forcing you to write about something, the bulk of your grade comes from essays where you get to pick the subject. Very good for the student with a lot to say, or one who gets bored with one-size-fits-all writing prompts. You'll definitely improve your writing by taking this class.
Professor Bill is AMAZING. I was in ENC 1101 class (8 wk). as a student, FT worker and mother, it was very difficult for me to turn in a lot of things on time. Especially in the last days. I spoke with the Professor in person and expressed my concerns he emailed me and understood the one time I could not attend due to childcare issues.
Professor Murphy's class is excellent. Within the 8 week course there were only three papers to write with a topic of your choice. On the first day of class gives syllabus with all assignments and due dates, however Professor Murphy understands if an emergency occurs and pretty much gives the semester to complete assignments.
Although it is somewhat a lot work he gives pretty much the entire semester to complete all assignments. You would have to be very lazy not to pass his class. Wish more professor were like him.
This class was not very hard at all. He assigns work in the beginning but, he allows you to turn them in at anytime. He is understanding to work and family situations as well. He has a lot of extra credit and he makes a lot of jokes too. Just make sure you do the work. This class is great, you won't regret taking it.
I never thought I could find a such great teacher for ENC1102. He is a very humble, calm guy. I think anyone can pass his class with an A by putting a little amount of work (of course!). He's willing to help and his grading criteria is very clear!
Professor Murphy is a great teacher! His class is super easy and chill. He gives extra time to complete an essay and other assignments.
Professor Murphy is absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Do your work, show up for class, participate, and you will get a good grade. He's very understanding , and not a hard teacher at all.
Professor Murphy was my saving grace this semester. He really cares for his students. Show up to class and participate when he ask. Do your work and call it a day. The textbook is used so don't think you can get by without it but that is across all English classes at Broward. Take him and I promise you won't regret it.
very awesome and laid back teacher! very understanding ! work is extremely easy ! complete assignments and you will pass with an A!
One of the best teacher at broward����
Prof Murphy is the best, class always ends before time and he gives great feed back. there are a few quizzes on the readings but it's all online ;), and 3 essays. he also grades the outlines but they are only 10 points each.
Professor Murphy shows to be very interested in helping his students. He gives feedback on your essays and sometimes lets you make it up by making corrections to it. Always made sure all students were clear on what his assignments were about and always took time to talk to students during and after class.
Easy going teacher. Don't lose your journals or you won't pass. Gives good lectures.
Professor Murphy is one of the best! He gives feedback on your essays and lets you resubmit by making corrections to it. He takes the time to talk to students during and after class if there are any discrepancies. You are graded on 3 papers and journals on literature daily. A lot of journals but the content is interesting. Overall, wonderful prof.
wow! i have to say that professor murphy is one of the best English professor in broward college. professor murphy grading system is very clear and straightforward. if you do all the class assignments, follow class instructions and be attentive in class, you should pass. great professor, very patient and he makes sure you understand everything 5*
I took professor Murphy for ENC1102 during the summer term. He always replied to all my emails and other inquiries the very same day I sent them. When we submitted our essays he gave us helpful feedback and gave us plenty of time to correct or rewrite our papers for a better grade. He is one of the best professors at BC, take him if you can!
He's a great professor. Although he is easy, you do become a better writer from him. In the beginning the work is tedious, but it becomes less and less as the semester goes on. Just do your work and attend classes, best part is you can review the recordings if you miss class, One of the best prof, honestly!
I really enjoyed Professor Murphy's class. His grading is clear and thorough. He allows any missed assignments to be turned in.
One of the best teachers I've had. He explains really well if you don't understand something, all his assignments are put on a syllabus so you know what to expect and can do work ahead of time, he accepts work for FULL credit up until the course ends, and he grades well with good feedback. If you want a better score on an essay you're able to redo.
Prof Murphy is by far the best professor ever. I enrolled in his ENC1101 and 1102 courses (online) and earned an A in both. The material is pretty straightforward. He asks for 3 Essays, an annotated bibliography, and 10 discussions which were not bad at all. He even accepted late work with no penalty. 10/10 no complaints. 100% recommended.
I had Professor Murphy for 1102 and he was great! Your grade is divided in discussion posts, papers, in-class activities, and annotated bibliography. He is not strict about due dates, you can send an assignment late and he will accept it. Overall he was a nice professor, just work on your papers and you will be fine.
Super nice! Does not give a lot of work. He explains things very well. Understanding and cares for your well being. As long as you do your work, you will do great in this course. Nothing is hard.
He is awesome! Very clear on the assignments, Provides feedback, and he is always with the best attitude.
He's a super chill teacher gives you time to get your work done and he explains it to you
Great Professor wou
Murphy is very nice. The coursework includes 3 essays along with 10 discussion posts, but for the discussions, you are given an easy prompt and do not have to respond to others unless you need extra credit. The deadlines are fixed however he allows late work and if you get a bad grade he lets you resubmit. I definitely recommend him!
Easy professor but can be a little boring and dragged out to be blunt. Very easy and gives time to do assignments. Also lenient when grading. Attendance and textbook is required. Just come to class and you will do great ,truly that easy.
His class was easy and we only had 3 essays
Professor Murphy is amazing - super chill and understanding. The work is manageable, with essays, discussions, and an annotated bibliography. He's flexible on deadlines and lets you redo assignments for better grades. unstuck study was a lifesaver for preparing!
Easy class only 10 discussion posts (3 of which are just the intro paragraphs to the essays) and 3 easy opinionated essays. Very kind just be on time to class!
Professor Murphy was great. I took his 8-week ENC1102 class and it was very easy. Majority of his grading comes from essays, so be prepared to write often. The only negative I would say if he would typically end class very early. I would only have class for 20-30 minutes sometimes. It felt like a waste of gas. Overall though, good professor.
i had class ENC0017C very easy. this teacher is great i recommend there is no quiz or tests.
He is a really goof professor and very easy , the class is not hard at all and we only had 3 essays but that only because I took a 8 week class. We mainly do disscusions which are very easy overall he is great and very chill. If you are reading this you should definitely take his class. He also accepts late work . Take his class .
Easy class
