Reviews of professor Richard Burgess

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Do not take this professor at all cost! If I have a chance, I will take Gollieth instead of this shit professor. Open notes is the biggest no-no for this class. Would take a class with closed note and timed online.

The ideas I used from Mr. Burgess' class I still use today, although I never expected to. His lectures are amazing, and he even tells you what to expect in the quizzes from them. He is very funny and friendly, and takes time to get to know your name and interact with the class. There are a lot of papers but they're branched off of each other. 10/10

Mr. Burgess is a great professor, his lectures are engaging and filled with jokes, interesting facts, and class discussion. If you plan to take this course over the summer keep in mind that there are very few things that influence your grade, 2 projects, 3 quizzes, and 2 exams. This course is also very reading heavy, make sure to buy the textbooks.

absolutely hilarious professor, you should def show up and ask questions to understand the material., and ABSOLUTELY study for the quizzes! If you mess up more than one, your grade is no longer an A. Super easy if you know the material, and the final projects aren't horrible- you just need to take the time to do them.

Professor Burgess was one of my favorite teachers. His lectures were the right balance of humorous and content. He kept them dense and interesting. He never engaged in floccinaucinihilipilification in regards to people's opinions and gave people weight. (He likes to use big words for the fun of it, and I deemed it worthwhile to imitate that here)

He is very funny. He takes time to get to know your names and interact with the class. There are very low number of grades so take each quiz and final project seriously for an A. Quizzes are straight forward if you study for like 1-2 hours. Overall great guy and class.

Mr. Burgess is genuinely one of the best professors I've had. He's funny and he knows how to make the course material interesting and understandable. That being said, his class is very hard, especially because the quizzes take ages to complete but you only get one day to do them. Great professor, but not a class you can slack off in too much.

He teaches the class well but he grades way too harshly to be worth your time. Take Gottlieb.

All you need to know about this professor is outlined in his grade distribution. In the semester I took him, he had 26 As, 52 Bs, 35 Cs, 8 Ds, and 10 Fs across 3 sections. Compare that to Professor Gottlieb, who had 57 As, 19 Bs, 9 Cs, 1 D, and 7 Fs across 2 sections. Take from that what you will.

Take another professor, the course will be much easier. Look at grade distribution. You can have a 100 and if you don't write your last project at a graduate level you will drop a whole letter.
