Eddie is really tall and awesome. He's passionate about what he's teaching and includes some pretty sweet vacation pictures of his family. Watch out - you actually have to do more work for this class than you would expect, and you can't really skip because there are clicker questions.

This is a great science class for a non science person. I liked Murphy. I found that my grade improved significantly when I stopped bringing my laptop to class and just listened.

not a very difficult class, as long as you show up and pay attention. mastering astronomy and the study area are very helpful on tests

Murphy's a cool dude, but boring class. Don't take except to fulfill a requirement

Murphy is such a great guy. You can tell he really enjoys this subject. iClicker questions in every lecture, so make sure you don't forget to bring it to class. HW problems due every Sunday. They are very helpful, and sometimes Murphy uses similar questions on the tests, so make sure to study them. Overall, I really enjoyed this class and would recommend it!

He's a pretty sweet guy, and obviously cares about his students. Pretty simple class if you attend lectures, bring your iClicker every class because there is always questions, and do your homework on time. The questions on the homework really help during midterm, and final time because if he chose those questions for homework, it means that they'll most likely in some shape or form end up on the exam.

Professor Murphy is awesome -- very good lecturer, very accessible and friendly, very enthusiastic. Very good for an intro course. He gives plentiful examples and explanation of the material so that students understand. The material is not difficult, although some people seem to have trouble with it. Tests are reasonable -- very aceable if you study.

Mr. Murphy is a great lecturer, funny at times and entertaining.

Murphy's a great guy. Everything is fairly easy and interesting as well.

Very interesting class. If you enjoy astronomy this is a great class to take. Murphy is an awesome, knowledgeable professor. The hw was not really difficult. The mid term and final were not that bad, just need to study some.
