Reviews of professor Robert Burns

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
COM 104 at Bristol Community College. My biggest critique is that handouts were a little scattered between modules, announcements and emails that I found myself having to search for things he would bring up in class, but with Canvas being brand new, we're basically all learning it together. Regardless, excellent professor. Please take his class!

I didn't want to take Com 100 but my best friend took Prof Burns and told me he was inspiring and always interesting. She was right! I also must thank him. I was ready to transfer out of URI and he kept me here. I learned so much about speech/communication and now I understand why he taught us with such passion. I am no longer afraid! Great class!

I loved Professor Burns' course! My parents are URI Alum and they had him and told me I would love him! They were right! I had him for an online synchronous approach and we met every week. He calmed me down and helped me overcome my speaking fears. I am also shy. I loved his teaching methods. He knows how to teach! Everyone should take him!

Best professor I've ever had at URI. Make sure you show up to class and read all of his posts and assignments. As long as you put in the work he will be very compassionate and considering if you have any issues. Take him if you get the chance

Bro Burns is a great teacher and cares about his students. Make sure you get teaching sheets done, best way is to go to the after party.

It is Jan 1, 2019, & I made a resolution to say thank you more often. 2 people I must thank are my Dept Chair who told me to take Prof Burns for Com 100, and Prof B for helping me overcome my stage fright, for teaching me to have a growth mindset, for improving my communication skills and my life as a student. I would tell everyone to take him!

B. Burns was great. I didn't exactly love the GESCI class, but he did a good job and was very considerate to student's needs. Gotta appreciate such a stellar guy.

One of my favorite professors ever! If you put in 100% effort, he will help you get an A. He is so nice and is so willing to help you. He is also super entertaining and makes learning fun. He will push you to your limits in a good way.

Brother Burns is Amazing! He is so caring for his students. You can tell he wants everyone to do well in the class and he is hilarious! If you have to take Bio 180, take it from him!!

I am taking Prof Burns this semester and had to write because he has help me overcome my fear of speaking and even my fear of URI. I have learned this semester that I can do it and I belong here too. I transferred to URI and because of Prof Burns I finally feel at home. He has helped me become a confident communicator. Everyone should take him!
