Reviews of professor Shawn Burkett

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Shawn is a cool guy. Too smart to be a teacher and really overestimates his students knowledge of calc. Hard exams but he is willing to offer test corrections or other accommodations if needed to boost grades. Wants his students to learn and is very open to office hours. He has daily rants about white boards, Ohio weather, and trips over chairs.

The best advice I can give is to do the homework. His lectures do a decent job of covering the material, although they often run long. His homework is the best way to practice. That being said, prepare to spend your whole weekend on it, as each one typically took 8+ hours. The tests and quizzes weren't too bad if you studied but could be long.

Shawn's a nice guy. That doesn't make his class any less brutal. A kid in my class said "I think that he thinks that we're like MIT students or something", which sums it up. If are looking for a teacher who will push you to actually learn calc 2, go for it. If you're a CS student like me who just needs to make it through calc 2, avoid at all costs.
