Reviews of professor Tom Burke

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Burke is very arrogant and he grades very hard (harder than most political science professors in the department).

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Burke isn't the most approachable professor and he loves to cold call in class which wasn't the best experience for me when I didn't always understand the content. You'll have to do all the readings to get by. Thought his 200 American Politics class would be a good starter bc I was a potentially Poli Sci major but his class made me change my mind.

I think that he is a really great professor and I learned a lot from him! He really makes you think and expands your way of viewing things. Learned a lot from this intro class beyond the basic structures of American Politics and he made it really interesting.

Professor Burke grades unreasonably hard. His expectations are very unclear for tests. When I went to ask him about my tests and what I got wrong/how I could improve, he acknowledged that he graded the test too harshly but still refused to give points back. He never finished his lectures, so there was a lot of individual learning.

This man has zero respect for students. Probably the most disrespectful adult I have ever come across and the College is yet to hold him accountable. Im surprised he hasnt been fired yet.
