Reviews of professor Christopher Burke

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The lecture is boring and everything he talked about is directly from the book. Text is 100 question multiple choice, T/F and fill in the blank

Worst prof I've had at UT. Lectures consisted of him talking about sports and using only 20-30 minutes to read directly off of slides from the textbook when we already had to read the chapter before. Prides himself on making tests as difficult as possible without any actual teaching. By far my easiest course content wise, but brought down GPA.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Quizzes are unnecessarily difficult and much harder than other professors. Tests ability to answer fill-in-the-blank under time constraints. Tests are challenging but not impossible if you study and are standardized. He's is funny and a good lecturer but the lectures do not help with anything. The class is entirely based on reading.

The way he teaches the class itself is pretty good. I am giving him a low rating because of how he is as a person. I personally feel that he is rude and does hold racial biases. Overall as far as workload the class is pretty doable. We only had to refer to the textbook like twice the whole semester

Based on what I've heard from my friends who took other professors for MIS 301, Burke is by far the best professor to take for MIS 301. Although this class is memorization heavy, the class is structured in a way that will set up up for success on the exams. Burke also has a great sense of humor and keeps the class engaged. Take him if you can!

Going into MIS I was fearful of the course work because other people said it was bad, but Burke breaks it down into VERY manageable chunks and is a funny guy! The tests are pretty memorization heavy, but if you pay attention in class and review the notes and supplementals it provides you with everything you need.
