Cons: He is really boring. You have to read the textbook to understand. But if you do that you will succeed.
2 minute break during class (I had him on TR so the classes are longer)
No homework
No quizzes
No midterm
Non-cumulative final
Cons: Lectures are dry
Note handouts are fill in the blank so you have to go to class to REALLY get the notes
Dr. Burke was great. He just lectures every day, but does try to make it engaging. Still, expect to study a lot to make good grades on the tests. Test questions come straight from notes. To me, he has a better teaching style and his tests were easier than Darvill's, but other people did not agree. I did make better grades on Burke's tests though.
All notes are posted online.
Cons: Fill-in-the-blank powerpoints that need to be printed out before each lecture, to be filled in during the lecture.
Good professor.
(this class was taken with Darvill--Darvill taught the first half, Burke the second. Both good professors, although I slightly preferred Darvill's teaching style.)
Cons: Burke isn't a good professor. He is smart but I don't think he should teach an intro programming class because he doesn't go over the basics
Cons: Can be a little bit cold of aloof, and can slip into boring tangents
Cons: material is a bit dull
Pretty good class. The retakes are nice
Cons: very boring
hard material
lots of memorization
Doesn't keep you interested
Very boring lecture, takes a 2 minute break in the middle of class to "keep us focused" and then goes over 2 or 3 minutes. He teaches the last half of the Pbio class while Momany teaches the first half
Cons: So monotone
Cons: He's really monotonous and doesn't really try to make the material interesting.
He's a fine teacher, but the subject matter can really be boring. He replaces Dr. Momany after the first half of the semester which can really make it difficult because you are already used to the way Momany teaches by the time he comes in.
all questions on test come from notes
two minute break in the middle of class
Cons: dry lectures-not easy to stay awake
tests more specific and harder than Darvill's but still not to bad
Dr. Burke's lectures are organized very straight forwardly and help the students learn the main points of the lecture. However, his lectures are dry and is not always easy to pay attention to. He gives a two minute break in the middle of class to keep everyone awake.
Cons: Doesn't follow the book
He's a nice guy, always willing to answer questions. But it's honors and he wants the class to be hard.
Cons: Switch professors with Dr. Momany mid semester. Wordy exams.
