Comment:
This course was tough since I am terrible at history related topics, but she made the class enjoyable. Her strong Irish accent was a joy to listen to, though hard to understand at times. Her quizzes were easy, however, the exams were a bit heavy, alot of filling in blanks, so know your terms, as well as locations on map and you'll do good.

One of the greatest teachers I've ever had. She is inspiring, extremely knowledgeable, and caring. She sees students who have potential and pushes them further. She is available almost always and willing to answer questions. Dr. Murphy is extremely humble, smart, and gives you the right tools to succeed.

Outstanding educators allow the students many opportunities to see the same material so that the students can learn according to their own learning style. This teacher made sure we were informed about valuable information before each test.

Comment:
Very very passionate teacher and not just on her subject. Obviously loves to instill knowledge of her native Ireland, the struggles and triumphs of women, and the virtue of civil equality. She is very willing to work with you if you're having a problem or personal issue. Tests are very manageable and she is a very reasonable grader even for upper division work. Highly recommend for her excellent classroom management, friendly nature, and dry wit.

Classes are useless, and boring. Heavy on reading. Liberal Obama lover. Irish accent made it difficult to understand her sometimes. She is a nice person, but I didn't enjoy her class. I got solid Bs on all my quizzes and my paper, but I got a C on the final, so my grade lowered to a C. Disappointing.

Great course & great teacher. Little homework, and mainly all readings are off of Ferguson & electronic reserve. However, do not need to read to do well in class!

History of Ireland is a fascinating class and Prof. Murphy makes it even better with her being Irish. Fun class, reading not really important as she covers everything in incredible detail in class. Recommend all take this class.

Come to class & take notes and you'll do fine. Great teacher with good clarity. No homework, & the readings do not have to really be done to pass the class. She is not monitone either. Great teacher.

Most students do not realize how interesting Irish history is,or how important it is,and thanks to Dr.Murphy for bringing her knowledge to our campus.Perhaps most impressive is her ability to remain fairly nuetral when talking about a history that she's very close to.She presents her material with impartiality, and I believe she's a great historian

Very good professor, she tries real hard to teach and actually does. Her Irish accent makes it fun to listen to her lectures, especially when it came time to talk about the Irich Potatoe famine.
