Reviews of professor Robinson Woodward-Burns

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Burns is a great lecturer and a professor I would gladly take again. True the course requires a lot of reading, but you honestly don't have to read because his lectures explain everything so thoroughly. Just come to class, take notes, and study before the final you'll be fine. It truly was a great class

Loved this class. The lectures are content heavy. Asynchronous. You only have to attend class in person one time out of the whole semester and you pick what day. No tests, but three papers make up much of your grade. You pick the topic from a list. If you watch the lectures, you may not have to do the readings. Going to take a class with him again.

One of the best Poli Sci professors at Howard. Show up to class, do the 2 papers & presentation and you'll get an A. Responds and grades quickly & is very clear and communicative. He wants his students to learn and he's very knowledgable on Constitutional Law. Attendance does count, and if you miss more than 5 classes, you wont get an A. Take him.

Professor Woodward-Burns is super helpful and attentive when it comes to questions, concerns, and feedback about any particular assignment. I took him for five weeks, since it was a summer class, and we were graded based on a total of three 4-6 pg. papers. His lectures are detailed and provide more than enough info for an adequate paper. 10/10

Lectures cover a lot of content, but it is not hard to understand. He helps students to formulate a clear perspective of the subject matter, and he welcomes open conversations. You really don't have to read to pass, but pay attend to the terms that he reiterates because they will likely be on the exam.

This was a great choice to take since this school year is online. There aren't too many assignments and Professor Burns isn't a tough grader so doing the papers aren't too hard to complete. We did have to come to one online discussion but it was really simple to come up with some general questions for it.

Assigns a lot of reading and he assigned a paper due the Monday after spring break. Other than that you can tell that he is passionate about what he is teaching. Would take again. My advise is to get ready to work!

Great lectures, class is conversation oriented

Asynchronous. Probably the most understanding professors in the midst of a pandemic. The professor only requires one discussion class in which you talk about the reading from the previous couple of classes. Grading is based on only a few assignments. Loved this course and would take again.
