Pretty easy class. Show up, pay attention and youre set. He does refer to the textbook often but it gives you a good idea what the test will be on. Hes a funny guy and approachable, even though he seems strict at times.

Your grade is based on 5 exams, but he drops the lowest. He is actually pretty nice even though he tries to be strict. But theres a test bank (make sure you get your hands on it) All the questions come from it so what more can you ask. Ask around for it or buy it yourself, its from the textbook company. Easy 100

You have to be good at taking notes because he only lectures at you with no visual aid at all. His list of topics that are going to be on the test that he gives out the class before are very helpful and if you can answer all of those topic questions you'll do fine in the class.

Professor Burke is generally a funny and cool teacher. However, he does not know how to teach at all. I never had a professor that was so unorganized about his learning content. His class is hard and get ready to do the learning all by yourself.

Comment:
Graded by 5 exams (25%) , lowest is dropped. There are no power points & you just have to listen to what he says. He is boring, & his tests are fully textbook based. Tests are online, but taken in class. People tried cheating on the online tests but he has gotten suspicious so he walks around the room and dims the lights so he can see your screen.

Comment:
his lectures are interesting, he's pretty clear, however some of the test questions are VERY vague and there could arguably be 2 answers on some and when you point this out, he doesn't want to hear it, the test booklets answer is ALWAYS right, otherwise decent class, you should be able to get a b if u study notes well

The class is easy as long as you go to class. he takes roll everyday so don't even think about cutting. There is no h.w. or projects. Lectures and tests. He even gives a test overview detailing what needs to be reviewed. Definitely a good choice
