Reviews of professor Christopher Burke

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Burke lectures entirely from textbook slides, which is a total repetition of content that you're already required to read. It is impossible to stay engaged during class. Additionally, Professor Burke exercises his power to pick favorite students, scrutinize students on their honesty, and make inappropriate jokes for a college classroom.

Burke was a pretty decent Professor and was willing to help students with concepts outside of office hours. 50% of your grade is based on assignments that aren't terribly difficult. However, the other 50% of your grade is based on tests that require you to memorize the textbook and slides. Tests are not cumulative.

Cool guy and I like how he explained topics like it was a conversation. Participation pop quizzes can be harder than other profs who just do completion instapolls (Finney). Tests are same for all profs: 100 randomized Qs so you need to know the textbook well especially vocab. Strict on no extra credit, only curves if class avg is

The lectures are extremely boring, especially since they're straight from the textbook when you have to read it ahead anyway. You have to know the book and vocab by heart for the tests; make sure to start studying ahead with quizlets and practices. Gives difficult pop-quizzes that are harder than the other profs' so look through your vocab before.

Was this class hard? Yes. Did I have to memorize literally everything? Also yes. But did he curve my grade to an A at the end? Yes. So, at the end of the day, he gives you the resources to succeed you just really have to memorize every detail in the powerpoints and do the textbook practice quizzes. Nice guy too, decently understanding.

I understand how some people can find him strict, but I absolutely loved this class. MIS was boring for me but Burke really made the lectures interesting. To pass the exams you need to memorize ALL of the VOCAB on the slides. Learn the Vocab and you'll do great. All of the other mini-assignments throughout the class are pretty easy.

I took Professor Burke for MIS and OM. Not my favorite classes but Professor Burke made them both easy to understand and was always available to answer question over email or zoom. Would take any class given by him.

Professor Burke is amazing! He keeps lectures engaging to his best ability. The OM 235 material can be dense, so please take advantage of his OHs if you're struggling. Attendance is "mandatory" but participation is based on completing pop quizzes. He advocates for YOU. Exams are tougher, but that's not his fault.

Honestly not that bad of a class. Incredibly passionate professor who will work with you if you have any issues. He is very no BS, and does not allow screens in class and will call you out. Memorize how to do the HW problems for the exam and you will get a B/A.
