Reviews of professor Judson Burton

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Judd is such a chill professor. I took Philosophy of Religion from him on a whim during my first semester at BYU and have absolutely no regrets. He understands that philosophy is a meaty subject so he grades pretty graciously on the argument outlines and test essays. 2 tests, took a fair amount of studying but were all multiple choice w/ an essay

As a 400-level philosophy class, it involves an unprecedented reading load with tons of writing (4 reading journals, 4 essays, and a final paper, but no exams). Dr. Burton is quite strict when grading them but provides useful revise suggestions as well. Overall a great class and professor, but be prepared to work a lot.

Professor Burton explains the concepts very well. The thoroughness of his lectures match up with the hardness of his tests (neither are too tough). This class was extremely interesting, and it was a very enjoyable and relatively painless way to pass off a GE. I probably spent, on average, two hours a week working on this class outside of class.

This is for PHIL 110. Burton is awesome. He is a lawyer who teaches philosophy because he is passionate about it. He lectures for the entire class and does a good job of making it interesting. He understands that this is an intro class and that it should be interesting, enjoyable, and not too difficult, unlike most GEs at BYU. Easy if you attend.

Professor Burton knows a lot about philosophy and obviously really likes it. He does his lectures by memory which is impressive. The class is really interesting but can sometimes go over your head and you just zone out. I  have definitely fallen asleep in that class. So maybe bring snacks.

I took this class to fill a letters general, and it was totally worth it. There was not a lot of homework, and when there was it was pretty simple. Professor Burton was funny and knew his stuff

Dr. Burton is an awesome teacher. He's a super chill guy, and knows how to explain tricky philosophical stuff well. He encourages lots of discussion which is nice.

This class doesn't have a ton of homework at all, and Judd's pretty chill. It's a little intimidating as a 1st Phil class because he doesn't teach you how to think/write philosophically super well but still expects you to do so on parts of tests/hw, but he's pretty gracious on grading b/c of that. Probably one of the more-doable IntroPhil classes.
