Kathleen is hilarious! I love her accent. Really easy prof, interesting to listen to. Kind of unorganized in lectures, but really not a difficult class. 2 quiz and 2 very easy assignment type classes. I recommend her!

Comment:

Burke is cute and sympathetic. The material wasn't too bad but way to many notes that didn't really make sense because she went back and forth between points all the time. When she came into class she always asked " what did we do last class?" and when it came to passing in assigments she bascially forgot everytime and let us pass them in whenever

Comment:

horrible prof, nice lady but horrible classes, i've taken her classes twice and never will again. Hard marker (i get excellent gr's except in her class). How she presents the course (how you get your grades), and her lectures were just awful. very boring and difficult to take notes .

Comment:

I hated this professor, her classes were very unstructured. There was no layout and it was unclear as to what was important or not important because she would ramble on about anything. I especially disagree with her 4, 10 question quizzes which accounted for most of your grade!!!! She was never flexible to students needs and picked favorites.

Comment:

brutal class. i had a 4.1 GPA and still did well in her course, but her notes were terrible and she didn't take the text into account when marking. she was unreasonable about rescheduling tests (for example, I wanted to do a quiz an hour early to catch a flight home - impossible) and the class was dull, besides.

Comment:

First of all, I thought the class overall was boring. But her teaching style is more scattered than I would have liked. You take a lot of notes, and it's not overly structured. I didn't enjoy her class and actually had a hard time passing.

you either will hate her or love her. she's funny and old and amusing with her british accent. not that much homework but can be hard to get an A with her. she's flexible if you get on her good side. go to class

Comment:

Still deciding on whether or not, I enjoyed Dr. Burke's class. She is a good lecturer/storyteller (that's what her classes feel like, someone's telling you a story). Hard marker, but take advantage of her help when she offers it. Voice is annoying

Comment:

Good professor in general. You have to pay close attention in order to take notes from her lectures. This class is all about her notes I find. Also, she is very easy and i don't find she plays favorites. I never talked to her and am doing well.
