Reviews of professor Alex Burant

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Burant teaches in a way that builds intuition and understanding of the material which is really impressive for subjects with completely abstract concepts. It's not an easy class, but if you pay attention, study, and do the homework, it's definitely doable. The exams are on the tougher side but no surprises or trick questions, he has study sessions

When you attend lectures, youd think its easy and that you fully understand everything. Homework can be challenging but very doable. BUT.. tests are EXTREMELY hard and are on a whole new level. Very complicated.

Burant is one the best professors I've had at the University. He was able to teach physics in a way that was easy to understand. During the pandemic, his recorded lectures were high quality. He used class time as a time where you could ask any questions you had about the material. He was nice and you know that he has a passion to help his students!

Dear god, physics will fight you to the death. What I can say is that it is clear Dr. Burant cares and does his best to explain the material and help you within the constraints of the department. Average test score was between 50 to 65 out of 100, and the homework is at times ungodly, but again, that's because it's physics. I wish you luck.

Makes you dig for information. I love learning but he is not very good at explaining and derives equations that won't be given to you. His tests are very difficult and there are no bonus points given for doing practice problems. Only gives you one practice exam and homewrk problems that don't correlate to the actual test. P.S. I got a 94 in phys1

If you want a good grade in his class you better start learning magic because unless you're creating miracles you're basically a sitting duck. What I'm trying to say is the professor will not teach you how to pass his class so if you work hard in his class that's most likely not going to get you where you want.

Alex Burant is an amazing teacher. He is very approachable and his lectures are very well organized. That being said, this is one of the hardest classes I've ever taken. The exams are extremely hard, and the grading can be very harsh even if the right answer was found. If you have to take 241 I strongly recommend you take Dr. Burant's class.

Use Chegg or brainly to guide you on the homework. His video lectures are helpful to a point. Very caring and wants the students to succeed. Considering that physics is a very difficult class, he does a very good job preparing you for everything and even offering extra credit to improve tests grades.
