Reviews of professor Karen Burry

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Absolutely a disgrace to the profession. Grades extremely strictly- not based on content, but on a arbitrary format that changes constantly. No sympathy or anything towards students. No ability to turn in late work. Destroys your love of learning. No compromise on anything. Acts nice, but IS AWFUL. 0/0 heavily hope she getting fired.

Amazing professor! You are truly missing out if you do not choose to take her for Myth. She knows and loves the material. There are so many opportunities for extra credit. Weekly 1pg essays but she grades very leniently as long as she can tell you read the text and give it some actual thought. Open-book online exams. You learn so much & easy A!

Karen's passion for mythology made this course for me. Her positive energy is contagious and made me love the class and materials.

Every week we had the assigned readings and then a 1 page response to 1 of 3 prompts she gives you. You really only have to read the parts about the prompt you are using. 3 exams, multiple-choice, open-book /at home. There are 30+ points of extra credit which is equal to a whole exam. You have a choice to do 1 of 2 papers that are 3 pages long.

Super strict on MLA format for WEEKLY essays. If you make a mistake on your essay she'll give you a ZERO/10 until you fix it. Super annoying to deal with. Easy class but she made me hate the class.

Karen is by far one of the most passionate professors I have encountered. I honestly thought I would hate taking this course, but the in-class discussion was intriguing and interesting. There is a decent amount of reading, but I think that the in-class portion kind of evens out the readings. Definitely would take one of Karen's classes again!

Karen was so far my favorite professor in my journey at Columbus State. Not only was the material fun to learn, but I always woke up excited to log onto class to discuss and debate Greek and Roman gods, goddesses, etc. Karen always made it fun and was very open-minded in grading, and is just a great teacher to talk to about the material.
