Comment:

Professor Burns is a great man, funny an tries to create a great atmosphere in the class. Jokes and discussions unrelated to the subject are a common thing which take time of the class, and when it comes to the lecture he is just flying by the theory. He would explain you if you are puzzled, It would be great if he focused more on detailed lecture.

I took Professor Burns for Calc II. This professor really knows his stuff. He is very funny and is willing to explain to you until you understands the material. He give practice test before exam and it goes over. if you study the practice test you will pass the exam. Recorded his lecture, posted on YouTube any time you could access and review.

Prof Burns absolutely LOVES to help students with Math. He will spend as much time as you need, to help you understand it. He offers multiple ways of solving a problem & lets you decide what works for you. He always makes you feel good about learning something & keeps you interested during the class. Does NOT call on you, if you dont want to be!!

Burns is amazing. If all people learned math from burns from start to finish, we would all be math wizards. He'ld give you the shirt off his back to help you out. Great guy and great professor. I wish i could take more classes with him. Tests are easier than the homework. labs help with understanding and boost your grade. A great experience.

So, I just want to say that Burns is an awesome teacher...no doubt about it. His love of math makes the class interesting. You know he enjoys what he does from the way he acts. He is always smiling and is very easy going. He has solved difficult problems in front of the class. Very impressive! Side note...he is an avid player of chess! Pretty cool.

This professor is the best I have seen yet. He cares so much about you passing the class, that he will stop teaching just to make sure you get the problem correct. He makes mathematics simple and fun. There is no way you can leave this class confused or angry. He ALWAYS puts a smile on your face. Professors should learn his style of teaching.
