Reviews of professor Nicole Burt

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Do you enjoy spending lots of time and energy on writing papers, only to have them completely obliterated? Then take SAGES with Nicole Burt! This woman enjoys dissecting each and every sentence of your paper and commenting why you're wrong. Also, she's unnecessarily picky about using CSE format when citing sources. Take a different SAGES :)

She really knows her stuff? Great to talk to and will answer all your questions. Projects can be tricky if you need clear grading criteria - you're free to be creative but if u go the wrong way you'll lose a bunch of points. Lots of memorization.

she's not too bad. nice lady, fair enough grader

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is critical when it comes to giving feedback on papers, but her overall grading style is not too bad. There is lots of reading but you can get by with participating in class discussions without having actually read. Honestly it is not too much work and she is accessible outside of class, she just is opinionated and critical of paper grading.

Dr. Burt is very kind and her lectures are interesting. She did a hybrid style class, so Tuesdays were asynchronous and Thursdays were synchronous. The exams are a little difficult to study for bc there is so much information covered by them (only 2 in the class) and she's a bit of a tough grader in the write in questions.

She is a very critical with feedback on papers and is a rather hard grader. She assigns readings that are very long, but discussion is not always strictly based on the reading. She makes herself accessible outside of class, which is useful if you need further clarification on an assignment or want her to read over your work.

She's a fantastic professor that greatly cares for her students and the quality of learning in her course. Topics and assigned readings are interesting and engaging. One of the best professors I've had at Case! The course is fast-paced and fairly challenging, but very fair and absolutely worth it.
