First of all, she is a really nice person. But she is also a capable instructor, and I was happy to be in her lab section.

Professor Burk is by far the kindest professor I have met at Smith college. She is so enthusiastic about organic chemistry in particular and about helping her students to ensure that they learn the material. Despite her high pitched voice, I enjoyed having her as a teacher.

Lale Burk was an excellent teacher. Her tests were pretty easy and the workload wasn't bad at all. Her voice may take a while to get used to, but she is the sweetest woman ever!

Prof. Burk was cute, extremely helpful, and very lenient when it came to grading. I really REALLY hated chem before going into this class, but now I feel like it was one of my favorite classes! If you're going to take CHM111, I recommend you take it with her!

Professor Burk is a wonderful woman! She goes out of her way to help students and will ALWAYS take the time to explain concepts either in class or one on one. I loved her general chemistry class! Although chemistry is hard, I looked forward to going to class everyday because she was always in such an upbeat mood.

A wonderful woman. She really cares about each and every one of her students. All she really wanted from each of us was for us to love chemistry as much as she did. Great professor. Great attitude. Very accessible. Absolutely fabulous. Awesome.

Lale is extremely helpful and friendly. This class made me appreciate the total synthetic approach to target compounds opposed to relying on spectral data. Bio-organic is a must especially for chem majors with an interest in organic chemistry.

A really sweet woman. Her high voice may seem annoying at first, but you get used to it really quickly. She will answer any questions you have about anything, even in the middle of a lecture; even so, your textbook and class notes will be your best friends. Overall, a good experience, even for someone who despises chemistry.

I love Prof. Burk. If I had to take general chem again, i'd hope to have her as a teacher...it's not an easy class but she really cares about every student, she'll explain anything a million times. If you do the homework and keep up with the work you'll do fine.

Comment:
I covered the first half of this course in basic high school Chemistry, I slept through the entire course and fully expect to get at least a B+. Burk's nice, but her voice will drive you insane and if you're at all familiar with Chemistry the slow pace of this course will be frustrating. Quizes-and one exam-are takehome, and homework isn't checked.

Comment:
Kind woman, rather hard grader on the exams, not the best of lecturers. Our section was behind those taught by other professors. Several exams, so the grades don't count as much as they could. Daily homework graded for effort only. She's a slow teacher, which is probably good if you haven't had any chemistry before.

This lady drives me insane! She'll spend half the class explaining something you don't even need to know! If I hadn't already known everything we did, I wouldn't have had a clue what was going on because she rarely explained anything right.

Comment:
This was the worst class I've ever taken at Smith. She is completely inarticulate and needs at least 5 minutes of explanation for the easiest questions. She should not be a teacher. Her tests are ridiculous. Her grading is based on favoritism.

this woman has the most irritating and abrasive voice i have ever heard in my life. my ears bleed every time she opens her mouth. furthermore, her tone is condescending and overall it seems like being in her lab is an annoyance to her.
