HORRIBLE!!!!! RUUUUUUUUN!!!!! She can not teach which is a shame. Chemistry is a hard course and if the professor can't teach and can't explain doesn't matter if she/he thinks is intelligent.

Comment:

She seemed great at first but very scatter brained. She gave really hard quizzes and I maintained a high B all semester until her final when I bombed it. It was so hard and nothing like she said it would be. She also gave no criteria on her lab notebooks and then gave off silly points on lab pages when I would forget to write my lab partners name.

I loved her class but chemistry is not an easy subject. If you pay attention in class and do notes you will pass. She gives you all the work you need to do to make an A. So if you do it you have nothing to worry about

Comment:

Taking CHEM1211 over the summer was hard because it was so fast paced, but Dr. Burkart was great. She explains things in a way that is relatively easy to understand. She is always available for extra help and questions. The test were manageable if you were willing to put in work. Of course the class and lab is going to be hard, it's chemistry.

She is nice and caring but tests really hard. She spends a little time on each chapter. She wont post the grade of the final exam.

Comment:

I really do like her as a person. She is very sweet. However, her exams are so much harder than you can ever expect from her way of teaching. There is a crazy amount hw that takes forever but does not help at all on the exams bc her questions are trickier.

Comment:

4 tests and she drops the lowest one, the catch is, the online homework does not help you prep for the tests at ALL. They are very time consuming (4-6 hrs per chapter) and they don't present the material in the same way the tests do. You would be much better off doing problems from the book and reading, but the mandatory HW cuts into that time.

Comment:

This teacher is extremely difficult, exams cover stuff NOT covered in lectures. Tests are multple choice, (Class exam average was 65-75%). 4 tests (1 dropped) make 66% of your grade, final is 25% (ACS exam) and HW is 9% . NO extra credit or recorded lectures, . Over half of the class dropped out. If you can take someone else! BEWARE!

Goes pretty fast, willing to listen if you have problems but isn't always very good at explaining differently. You probably need tutoring to get a good grade if chemistry isn't your thing.

Her tests were very tough. All of her tests are multiple-choice and her lectures did not cover most of the questions. There is a recitation course to help out who wants to review but that did not help either. Do not recommend.

Like any science you need to study, do the Mastering Chemistry, do the extra pages she gives, do the problems in the book if you have to. Offers office hours, and gives tutoring schedule wants everyone to pass. Let's healthcare majors know what's important. Tests are tricky so you need to know your stuff. Overall I liked her and would take again

Dr. Burkart is the worst professor I've took by far! Her tests are extremely tricky and very are different from what she teaches in class! I wouldn't recommend her if you care about your GPA or if you want to learn chemistry! SHE'S A NIGHTMARE!!!

Comment:

Taking her, the worst decision of my life!. She is a nice person, BUT not as a professor. She explains the topics very superficial, and her tests are just IMPOSSIBLE with very tricky questions. The homework through OWL is easy, but you will have tremendous amount of questions that just count for the 9% of your grade! No partial or extra credit!:(

Comment:

Her lectures were hard to focus on, they didn't match her tests, the tests were insanely difficult, 4 tests (she drops the lowest one). Tests are 66% of your grade, HW is 9% and the final is 25%. The HW is done on OWL and you have to pay $100 to get the code for it. The HW is lengthy but you have about a month to do it. IT doesn't help for tests.

Comment:

Absolutely fantastic chemistry teacher, thorough, clear, and always willing to sit with you and get you on the right track. She has an open door policy and is a joy to work with when your having difficulty. Definitely recommend her and would take her again. If you want a good understanding of chemistry shes the one to take.
