Reviews of professor David Bourne

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Every class is spent with a lecture. No PowerPoints or notes, strictly lecture. The only grades were tests, papers and class participation. If you screw up on one thing, it is hard to bounce back.

The material is easy to understand as long as you pay attention. There are no slides or books in class, its all lecture, but he gives a study guide before each test that tells you specifically what will be on it, so you can get notes out of the book. Dont miss class because he gives a grade and extra credit based on attendance end of semester.

Only graded by 4 exams and a few papers. He sits on a desk and lectures. Overall, not too hard.

This guy is terrible. His class should be easy but sometimes hell just go off on a tangent and never come back. He only grades you on showing up, exams, and essays. I struggle coming to this class everyday because I just dont want to listen to him talking at us. Hes such a great person, but his teaching style is awful.

You will do fine on the exams if you read over the study topics in your book. He does get off topic sometimes but the material is not complex. I personally found this class interesting and not difficult.

Great guy, will talk to you about important things regarding the class. Everything on the study guide is on the test. If you study for tests you will pass with a breeze.

Ive seen a lot of people say his teaching style is awful, but I really like it. He explains things very well and covers all of his bases. All he does is lecture but I find it refreshing and easy to keep up with. Hes also just a great guy, and you can tell he really cares about his students.

Professor Bourne seems genuine and nice. But his teaching style sucks. He is very lecture heavy, his lectures are seem unorganized, he does not engage well with students, and he begins to speak off on random topics and never gets back to his point. At midterms only one exam was counted toward my midterm grade. It could be worse but hard pass.
