Reviews of professor Mercedes Burns

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I rarely say this, but an awful professor. I'm sure she's a great researcher, but as far as teaching goes, she's incredibly lazy, yet demanding. She's planned a total of three lectures, all other classes are student presentations of random papers, on esoteric topics, ultimately we learn almost nothing of value from.

Dr. Burns is very available to her students when they need help. The exams are little tricky but studying the learning objectives help a lot!

Professor Burns actually cares about her students. Her lectures were easy to follow along. She was funny and connected with students. Definitely recommend taking her.

Dr. Burns is an excellent lecturer, always clear and understandable in her presentations. Plus, she answers questions very well after class should you ever have any. Prep for the exams are crucial. If you study the learning objectives (the main focus of the exams), you should perform well.

Dr. Burns a very inspirational professor. Her lectures are amazing. She does everything to make sure the class is fun and the content is very well organized. BIO142 is a very hard class so you have to study a lot. Go to her office hours, she helps students anytime you need. There is a lot of reading, but she points out the learning objectives.

I never write reviews but Dr. Burns is compassionate, respectful, and genuine about what she teaches. This course opened my eyes to the diversity and complexities of life and how nothing is normal. Rather than calling this course difficult I would call it challenging and interesting as it teaches you to think. Work hard your grade will reflect!
