Reviews of professor Matthew Burge

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I have never had a teacher this unsuited for a classroom environment. The worst part is he is genuinely nice, but an AWFUL Professor. My class understands maybe half of what he teaches us, he speeds through the useful lessons then shows us the most useless videos possible. He skips around lessons like crazy. The videos take up way too much time.

-by no means a professional teacher -relies too much on internet videos to teach his students, rather than taking time to prepare his own decent lecture. -grading makes no sense -extremely unorganized/looses assignments all the time -encourages plagiarism -very lazy -gives you a lot of busy work that has nothing to do with this class

Professor Burge assigns full portfolio projects that are due the next class. I had him for MWF, so I really only had a day and a half to find the time with my other classes to work on them. All my projects weren't good enough to use in my portfolio for candidacy so it was a waste of time. Gets really frustrated if you ask questions or talk.

This Prof has too many assignments in too little time. Long videos that are only somewhat relevant take up a good chunk of each class. When the pandemic went into full swing he the only prof to not take out any assignments in our already crunched schedule. Treats college students like high schoolers w/ his odd strict rules. Anxiety inducing class.

Be prepared for four hours of homework between each class. The class is a double period, meaning you go to it for 6 hours a week, yet Ive never had this much homework in any class in my college career. He uses class time to screen videos that have little to nothing to do with the class. He speeds through every lesson. Its chaos.
