Just show up for daily quizzes and make sure you actually read the textbook and other materials. Really textbook heavy, but its easy enough. The only problem is that the curve is whack; the A cutoff was like 96 for my class, so you have to really work to get an A.

Love the guy, used a lot of slides and sometimes assigned projects that neither he or him TA fully understood, but he would grade easier because of it. I honestly enjoyed the class but was a chore having to go at 8AM.

Good professor, often cracks jokes. Very straightforward class. SAM assignments are easy but can get annoying. Class PowerPoints are long (50 slides) but can easily be summarized. Definitely one of the easier 301 classes. Only annoying thing is the excel assignments that come up later (not too bad w/ a good TA). Skim read for daily iClicker q's.

If you have to take MIS and get the chance, take Burke! He tests based on class slides that are posted on canvas. There are fewer projects than other MIS classes and you get multiple attempts and/or a partner to work with. If you complete the assignments and study slides you can get an A. Daily iClicker quizzes to take attendance.

The class is you having to do a lot of work yourself, but it's not too hard and actually useful to learn. There are assessments where he looks for specific answers that are all outlined in the notes. Once you get used to him, not a hard class. He also knows what he's talking about as a professor. Lectures don't really help.

Took Fall 2020. DON'T want to major in MIS or have Rock? Take Burke. Easy A if you thoroughly read the textbook. I had Sam (TA) and she was very understanding with grading and explanations. MUST read textbook for assessments. Keep in mind Burke does not follow the UT grading scale. He often curves up for what counts as an A (Ex: 93+A).

Burke is an amazing professor. The class itself has a lot of elements to it, but very doable. I thought it was a pretty easy class to do well in and a better choice in comparison to other MIS 301 professors. The only thing is that with the curve, you need to have a high A to actually get an A in the class. Tests online are open note!!

Overall good experience, interesting lectures.

Burke is a great professor. He gives you powerpoints that concise the textbook so that as long as you take notes during lecture, the textbook is optional (he says it's a supplemental resource). However, because of the high cutoff for an A in this class, you do really need to work it (like above 95/96). But it is doable if you put in the effort.

I really like Prof Burke and the lessons he gave. Although reading the textbook wasn't necessary it helped me a lot. People were saying you need a high at (95/96) but personally getting a 94 or above got me an A. Burke made MIS pretty interesting even though some of the assignments were annoying.

Professor Burkes is a class i would definitely take again. SAM assignments are frustrating but very do -able, the TA guides you through the help if you need it. Lectures are interesting and there is 5 assessments, 4 case assignments, 4 partner core assignments. watch the lectures/take notes and you will do well.

I had MIS w Burke online in Fall 2021, and enjoyed him and the class a lot. He breaks down the textbook into concise slides, so all you need is the slides, and the exams are open note, making them pretty easy if you are at least somewhat prepared. Actually engage in class and apply yourself a little, and you can get an A pretty easily. Great Prof

This is a fairly easy class for MIS. If I studied a little harder I believe an A would have been achievable, as the grade is based 57% on 3 tests. As long as you read through his slides and know how to apply the concepts you will be fine. The case assignments are annoying and the TA grades harsh but overall not too bad

Professor Burke is a great, funny, and knowledgable professor. Take the group work seriously and pay attention in the lectures.

MIS 301 with Dr. Burke was alright. TBH, I could've made an A- in the class, but I was lazy to actually study and crammed the day of tests. There's three exams, but not final. Recommend buying the textbook, it has practice quizzes which he bases the exams off of. Honestly, if you put some effort into this class you'll get an A- or A.

Dr. Burke has interesting lectures that he pairs with his sense of humor. He lectures directly from the slides with some videos and experiences in between. Exam questions were pulled from the practice quizzes, so you know what to expect on the exam. Ask your TA for help with group projects and cases. No final!!

Tough, but fair. Attend lecture and do some studying before the exam and you're solid.

Dr. Burke is really funny and kind. Exams are tough- they have very specific questions from the textbook. Essentially, they test your memorization of the textbook. If you start studying early, an A is doable. Group work is not too bad, and you can always ask the TA questions. Overall, the class requires effort, but is well structured.

Tests are easy if you attend lectures, review slides, and read the textbook. Although his lectures seem dry, they have a way of sticking in your memory. He did not curve my class.

The tests are relatively easy if you study the material and the projects teach you things that are actually useful. That being said, lectures can be a little dry and instructions for projects/assignments can be pretty limited. If you study well, this class can be an easy A and its an easier alternative to other MIS301 options.

Dr. Burke's MIS class focuses on the business side of technology, which is why he does not test on the homework that involves coding. The tests do require you to understand a good amount of information, but if you study ahead of time and use the slides as a guide they are very fair. His grading is fair, and his lectures were always entertaining.

This class follows very, very closely to the textbook, to the point where the lecture slides are taken straight from the book. I found this really good, as it kind of standardized the information and made it so the topics that we were tested/quizzed on were directly in line and could be found in the textbook.

Cool guy and I like how he explained topics like it was a conversation. Participation pop quizzes can be harder than other profs who just do completion instapolls (Finney). Tests are same for all profs: 100 randomized Qs so you need to know the textbook well especially vocab. Strict on no extra credit, only curves if class avg is

I took Professor Burke for MIS and OM. Not my favorite classes but Professor Burke made them both easy to understand and was always available to answer question over email or zoom. Would take any class given by him.

Professor Burke is amazing! He keeps lectures engaging to his best ability. The OM 235 material can be dense, so please take advantage of his OHs if you're struggling. Attendance is "mandatory" but participation is based on completing pop quizzes. He advocates for YOU. Exams are tougher, but that's not his fault.

I would recommend taking Burke for MIS, he seems to have made the class better than some people I know with different professors. If you study and understand the terms you will make an A.

Was this class hard? Yes. Did I have to memorize literally everything? Also yes. But did he curve my grade to an A at the end? Yes. So, at the end of the day, he gives you the resources to succeed you just really have to memorize every detail in the powerpoints and do the textbook practice quizzes. Nice guy too, decently understanding.

I understand how some people can find him strict, but I absolutely loved this class. MIS was boring for me but Burke really made the lectures interesting. To pass the exams you need to memorize ALL of the VOCAB on the slides. Learn the Vocab and you'll do great. All of the other mini-assignments throughout the class are pretty easy.

Going into MIS I was fearful of the course work because other people said it was bad, but Burke breaks it down into VERY manageable chunks and is a funny guy! The tests are pretty memorization heavy, but if you pay attention in class and review the notes and supplementals it provides you with everything you need.

Honestly not that bad of a class. Incredibly passionate professor who will work with you if you have any issues. He is very no BS, and does not allow screens in class and will call you out. Memorize how to do the HW problems for the exam and you will get a B/A.

Burke is a pretty humorous guy who always begins his class talking about the weekly UT sports scene. Classes are slides based on readings, and assignments are simple excel worksheets and interactive textbook questions. He makes a review slide for the midterms and if you study those you will do well. Class is usually released 30 minutes early.

I took Burke for MIS301 and OM235 and would recommend taking his class for either. Does a good job explaining what to do for each kind of problem. Before each test, redo all of the homeworks up until that point and create a good notes sheet (you can bring one to the test) with all the required formulas and you will do well in the class.

Based on what I've heard from my friends who took other professors for MIS 301, Burke is by far the best professor to take for MIS 301. Although this class is memorization heavy, the class is structured in a way that will set up up for success on the exams. Burke also has a great sense of humor and keeps the class engaged. Take him if you can!

I truly don't get what people in here are saying because Burke is by far the best OM professor. He's super understanding but stern. He's always there for you and he's a pretty good lecturer. 100% recommend. If you don't like OM in general, every prof will be challenging. Just work a bit hard ig

As someone without a 4.0, this course is not hard at ALL if you pay attention. Burke is engaging, and walks through example exam questions in every class; especially with the allowed cheat sheet, you're golden if you pay attention. Personally, I enjoyed his lectures greatly (other than the mention of food around lunchtime). Take him if you can!

For OM he knows his stuff. His lectures are really good and he post his slides after. He made us take notes with only paper and not laptops which is a little strange. Class isnt too bad, theres just no practice material which makes it somewhat iffy.

I enjoyed Professor Burke's class. He's an engaging lecturer who explains material clearly, is approachable during office hours, and is always willing to help. He's also very understanding and accommodating. The weekly homework is manageable, and while the exams can be challenging, staying on top of the material and studying makes them very doable

Dr. Burke is amazing! If you can take him, DO. His lectures are engaging and make OM an easy to understand concepts. If you attend class weekly, you won't need to study outside of class. The homework is easy and take less than 30 mins weekly. You absolutely should attend class (no tech allowed) to succeed on the exams, but it's very doable.
