Reviews of professor Janet Burge

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Yes Janet assigns an absurd amount of work, and yes she fails to explain a lot of things. But she is a very sweet lady and she definitely wants you to do well. She responds to emails very fast and is clear in what she wants. She has a lot of good knowledge and experience and just wants to prepare you for how hard the CS industry can be.

Incredibly messy and inconsiderate. Doesn't really teach anything but just throws concepts at you expecting you to learn them as you go. Doesn't really know what she's doing half the time.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Janet is really kind and for the most part wants her students to succeed, but is not always the best at explaining concepts and doesn't always make her expectations clear. She explains concepts very abstractly and does little in class code examples, which makes application difficult. The daily quizzes can be tough and are worth studying a bit for.

Never adequately prepared, flippantly and without excuse or remorse, puts it on students to find and let her know about her mistakes. Terrible at explaining what we need to know. Prepare to do all your learning after class and before homework, and prepare to proofread all her assignments and email her line notes before attempting to understand them

Decent, but she can be very particular about what she wants to see in quiz/homework answers and her lectures can be pretty dry. To get a good grade I think it mainly comes down to really reading the assignment details and following any rubrics closely because she does seem to like to take points off for anything, no matter how insignificant.
