One word. P A R T I C I P A T E!!!! AP Gov with Murray was really enjoyable, and I always had fun in his class. Discussions were always fun, but very few people would ever participate. You never have to really stress about any of the work except when we were doing the presidential campaign or the court case simulation. Yes he is very left leaning, but hearing discourse between different views in our class made it very interesting. He wouldn't not like you if you thought differently than him, as long as you weren't rude or obnoxious. Just participate, be knowledgeable, and you'll enjoy the class.
