Reviews of professor Steven Burgess

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The class is basically lecture with some discussions, but make sure to pay attention and participate. There are 2 papers that are relatively challenging, but Dr. Burgess is always willing to meet and give super helpful feedback. He's very laid back and accommodating and explains the material very clearly. Great sense of humor!

This class made me fall in love with philosophy! Professor Burgess was always engaging during class. He could be a little awkward at times but was always saying something of value. There was never a time that I was in class and thought "what is the point of this?" I highly, highly recommend this class.

Really approachable and hilarious. Easy A if you just do the readings and pay attention in lectures. All the readings are provided by him.

Dr.B is a good teacher and very knowledgeable. However i took ids 201 and it definatley not an easy A. Their is lots of reading and discussion posts, 3 papers and one final.

Dr. Burgess is awesome! He is easily one of the most intelligent professors & really knows philosophy well. I took him for feminist philosophy and was a bit skeptical of a man teaching it but he couldn't have done a better job. He's very insightful and recognizes the difficulty to grasp sometimes abstract concepts. Helpful & funny, take him!!

As long as you pay attention in the class and make sure to take notes, it will be easy to get a good grade on the three papers he gives. There are also some reading comprehension quizzes just to make sure you are reading them. Overall, the class was great and although the papers were kind of hard, I chose to take another class with him again.

Dr. Burgess is an amiable professor and is super knowledgeable! Do the weekly assignment on time, show up to class and participate, and you'll pass. Reach out to him for midterm and final papers; he gives good feedback and is always willing to help you succeed.

He's really nice but his class is kinda boring unless you find philosophy interesting. But the class is an easy A, just do the work on time and put some effort to understand the readings.

this class was really difficult and very useless. The professor didn't prepare for this class making the students get confused and when you go to his office hours try understanding the assignments you barely understand anything

Professor Burgess was really nice but his class was pretty difficult for being an 1100 class. I thought we would be learning the basics about philosophy. There were lots of readings that were confusing and there are quizzes on each reading. My best advice would be to take notes on the readings and ask lots of questions.

Very accommodating and caring. Definitely would take them again. He was super kind.
