Comment:

I remember raving about Mr. Burnham to a friend, only to have my friend say he heard terrible things from other people. Personally, I liked Mr. Burnham so much I made sure to take multiple classes with him, and I thought his exams seemed very easy, but I've heard others bad mouth him, so I guess you love the guy or you hate the guy.

Comment:

I second most of the bad comments.Nice guy, but he'd come in yapping bout a problem he thought of the night before that was way beyond our capability, then he'd spend 40min working it out. Then collect our homework and assign more. Do not take if you need a high grade.

Comment:

Seemed to be mean to some of the students, but he was always nice to me. It was a hard class, but I'm not really good at math whomever teaches it.

Comment:

He was unfair in his tests. He would only talk about theroies and not problems. He finds one student to teach to and ignores the rest. Doesn't really care how well you do and was not very helpful when I went to him for help.

Comment:

Took his class for the first time and only showed up once a week, and had to drop with a 44%, but I took it again with him over the summer, went to class everyday and did about 1/3 of the homework and got a high A. All you have to do with this guy is go to class and know what he is talking about.

Comment:

Ditto the Neg. comments. Tests are hard only like 4 questions but insanely long and drawn out. Thinks he is witty and he's not. Better to take any math with Pat Ward or Chris Cox

I like Mr. Burnham and if you do the homework you'll get an A. Also he has good office hours and is always ready to work problems and answer questions! Fabulous job! I'm getting an A so that is why i like him.

Comment:

He was unbelievably terrible. Cold hearted and forgetful. His tests were only like 2 questions long with some of the hardest stuff I have ever seen. I retook the class with a different teacher and got an A after flunking his class.
