Reviews of professor Brigid Burke

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The lectures were fine, but Professor Burke is almost completely inaccessible outside of class, despite preaching about how they will always prioritize our needs. 30% of the grade is a group project, but if you have problems with your group do not expect to get help (or even a response to an email).

This course is the worst I have ever taken. Theres so many readings and they are all 20+ pages. Each week has 2-3 essay assignments. The workload is crazy. Avoid at all costs.

Took the course during Summer 2021 online and it was probably one of the worst classes I have taken at UTM. Prof assigned 6 readings a week, most being 20+ pages. TA and prof take forever to mark, extremely frustrating during a summer semester that is 6 weeks, assignment instructions posted a week before the due date. Avoid AT ALL COSTS!

Too much biased content in her course, basically pushing political agenda & personal opinion...
1/10 not recommended

Professor Burke is great! She is caring and understanding to her students. Her lectures are very engaging too.

i honestly don't understand where these hate comments are coming from. she is genuinely such a caring professor, and even provides leniency periods for assignment submissions. i love the class discussions and her openness to new ideas from students. she's extremely chill. all the grades came from assignments and reflections.

She came off rude at times. She didn't really explain the concepts well either. Never responded to messages, emails, or the discussion board although she said she would! Had a huge group project which sucks because I was put with incompetent people. Didn't give very good feedback although it was a small class. Just wasn't the best overall :(

Lectures were just the typical, boring slideshows and explanations. Reading was long but not bad, all links to reading were provided. The research essay wasnt too bad but I never got the grade for it so made it insanely hard to know if you were doing well. 2nd semester is starting and all i got was the final acorn grade, nothing else. didnt like it

Love how ironic this class is about mental health course yet she led all of us mentally distressed with excessive unnecessary amount of reading, does not respond to any of her emails (but the TA does sometimes),harsh grader both of them, rubric and assignment instructions are vague as hell. Overall,this course gave me anxiety & I'm seeking therapy
