This professor is amazing. He really cares about his students and makes going to lectures enjoyable, even if the topic is not your favorite. However, participation is a very big part of your overall grade and if you don't come to class you will miss out on a lot of really simple credit points.

Dr. Lee is the BEST. Super easy class, didn't require a textbook. He keeps things updated and interesting and while he may come off as arrogant at times, he genuinely cares about people and his students. 10/10 would take him again, I only wish he taught more classes in my major.

Dr. Burras is an AMAZING professor! Genuinely enjoys his classes, will remember your name if you see him outside of class, and will answer questions you have about anything class/professional related. I asked him for some tips for a job interview once and he spent an hour talking to me about do's and don'ts. Would take again in a heart beat!

Burras is a great professor for any course. He specializes in soil science but I have had him for En Sci and Agron and he is great either way. Assignments are short and grading is set up for student success!

Burras made EnSci a great start to the school day. He doesn't have a book and is always willing to help. Also you can make up test up to two weeks later!

One of the BEST professors at ISU. He's an amazing person, mentor, and educator. Class isn't mandatory, but go to class. You learn so much more than just science. So much more.

Comment:

Very laid back and clearly loves his job and loves teaching. Class wasn't mandatory but he had random quizzes about every other week and if you caught 7/10 of them you got full credit for all. Relaxed atmosphere and very open to questions and stories. Uses current situations to teach. Will remember you even if you're quiet in a class of 150+!

Dr. Burras is incredibly knowledgable, and loves what he does. He makes the class interesting by using the future to talk about current problems. No book, chalkboard notes, several trips off campus. Best ISU professor!

Lee is a very cool professor. He makes things easy to understand, offers several grading options so you can get the best grade possible, and doesn't really give out much homework. The only problem I had was all the disrespectful talking students did during his lectures.
