Reviews of professor Ryan Burns

This guy changed my life! Hardest I've ever had to work for a B, but what I got out of the course was so much more than just a grade. Definitely take his classes!

Best class at UofC, hands down. Cool prof, loves to make class interesting.

His powerpoints barely contain any notes. When asking for help he goes around the question. He isn't confident in what he teaches and will often have to go back on his notes or ask another student. He is a nice professor but when explaining topics he doesn't know them. His notes are 90% pictures.

When explaining topics he struggles to explain them. He has multiple times had to go back on his notes to explain them. We are always behind schedule and will often spend 2-3 lectures talking about the same topic.

Very kind, and likes to relieve tension with jokes, however, he has difficulty explaining the material, nor is he confident in it. He does not provide ANY study material or preparation for both exams. I find him to be very disorganized and can go off track often. He would skip through material or we'd be behind on it. The slides are mostly photos.

This prof is tough, but an amazing learning experience. He's cool and funny.

Professor Burns has a teaching style that is unique at UofC. It won't resonate with everyone, but is very rewarding to those who put in the effort. If you care about the class, show up, think hard, you'll do great.

Dr. Burns is a great person but isn't the best professor. He isn't confident in his teaching and often questions himself while explaining material. His slides are extremely bare and only have pictures so going to his lectures is important although you don't get much from them... He's very scatter brained which makes it hard to take in information.

He means well, but he does not explain things very well in class. Lectures can be confusing, he cannot explain complex thoughts, and he is really disorganized.
