this is a bad professor. period. he is boring, barely educated, unprofessional, unethical, miserable oral skills, horrible writing. he doesn't care for teaching that much, just making an extra penny while wasting time of others.
No Comments
he is the best!!!! who ever wrote the previous comment is out of their mind.
Professor Burke class is extremely insightful and fun. He demonstrates a sincere concern for his students and wants them to do well. I find myself luck to have had him. ONE THING HOWEVER - IF YOU DON'T LAUGH AT HIS "JOKES", YOU MAY HURT HIS FEEL
No Comments
No home assignments, multiple choice non cumilative tests, 10-15 point grade curves. Overall, getting a good grade is not a problem. He has many stories to tell students, so if you are into cop anecdotes, this class is for you.
Professor Burke was one of the best professors I have had. His stories and humor had me looking forward to going to his class. To pass his class, all you had to do was listen and read the book. There were no hidden catches to his exams. Thank you Mr.Burke
Professor Burke was a pleasure to have this past semester. He opened my eyes to a knew way of understanding today's world. Thank you professor!
this professor is the god of sociology i love this guys style the way he teaches the tests everything about his class if you don't want to fall asleep in sociology pick this prof he is the best
I rated his class as easy because he makes the subject so interesting and has such a colorful way of teaching that you learn without even realizing it. His classroom is an environment condusive to intellectual developement far beyond the subject matter.
All I can say is that he is a wonderful person and a great teacher. The most interesting quality he has is his HONESTY (sometimes too honest)...about himself. He laugh at his mistakes and never is critical to his students even when the student is wrong. take him
I believe that he was a great "Professor", Very insightful, yet he played Favorites. also, if you did not laugh at his jokes or "call him" , he did not respond when you say hello.
Professor Burke is the best. He's insightful interesting and makes the learning fun. I hosnestly felt that he did his best to make us succeed in his class and he really cares about his students. You can't go wrong this professor I wish there were more like him. Thanks Professor Burke!
he is ok, i have had better professors. Does not go over material, too many regular stories and not enough sociology, but hey it is BMCC, dont expect too much from his class
very interesting class. very interesting professor. made the subject matter relevant. This professor will always give you an opportunity to do well. He fosters an open honest atmosphere. Trust me you will be surprised at how much you will learn.
He was a great teacher! Pr. Burke is funny, interesting, fair, he teaches so well you remember the lectures, personally if though you should read the book, he teaches so well he explains topics betther then the assigned reading. He has an amazing voice! Don't let him start with emailing the handouts though! It is a big hassle.
A great teacher and person. Class was interesting and fun. He gives everyone an opportunity to do well and ask questions.
PROF. BURKE IS ONE WHO TEACHES FROM EXPERIENCE. THIS CLASS, BEING TAUGHT BY THIS PROFESSOR IS THE BEST THAT ONE COULD EVER GET. EASY A,VERY INFORMATIVE AND VERY INTERESTING. HIS STYLE OF TEACHING WILL MAKE A PERSON WANT TO COME TO CLASS AND PAY ATTENTION!!!
Not good, not organized, dont take him. I dropped and trying to get into nursing program.
Very good prof. One of the best at BMCC! He tells u whats going to be on the exams n lets u know what 2 study. He is a funny man. I would love to take another class with this prof. Everyone who takes him does well, he tends to give out lots of A's and B+'s so Im sure if u study u will do fine.
He was very helpful and fun. This is the class you would want to be in on a Saturday. He gets the class to interact. Read and you will do great.
Prof.Burke was one of the best professors I have ever had. He is extremely helpful and patient. Take him!
I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in any class...I also managed to learn quite alot. I would recommend Professor Burke to anyone. He made my first semester back to school a memorable one. Thank you for all that you've taught me Corey.
he is just ok. he makes the concepts way too simple and at times does not make sense. the class was average, I did ok and did the reading but really tuned him out. way too loud, too juch discussion not enough lecturing.
Great teacher
Burke is a really nice guy and his class is fun. He is very clear about what you'll need to study in order to do well on his quizes and exams. Also, if you do poorly or miss an exam, he will let you take it again. What a guy!!! Recommended.
prof Burke is a great teacher,very down to earth and gives you every chance to get that A but be aware read between the lines of your terms he makes them a little tricky.
Great professor, very funny helpful and understanding. I enjoyed going to his class even though it was on a sat. recommended for a easy grade
Down to earth guy. Very clear on the point he is trying to make. Most fun I have had in a class, ever! It's crazy to think of some of the things said in class.
I had an unbelieveable experience in this class. this professor is will to talk about ANYTHING!!!!! very interesting lecturer. will give you ever chance to do well. I would take him again.
Great professor!!
I would highly reccommend him, what ever he tells you to study that is exactly on the test, and guess what the final was open book!!!!!! He was the best professor I have ever taken and it did not hurt that he is soooo hot and he is tall and has a nice complexion and has a great sense of humor-his jokes are actually funny!!!! that's a major plus!
He was funny, serious and easy to pass
He makes Sociology come alive. Really nice guy! Friendly and always willing to listen to what his students have to say. He has so many great stories about his job as a law enforcer and uses them to teach his lessons. He teaches in a form that makes you feel as if you are hanging out. No complaints, highly recommended. A pleasure to have met!
this professor is one of the nicest people you ever want to meet. he warm and very very intelligent. at the end of the semester he will privately go over your grades and allow you to repeat an exam if you received a low mark. you cant but help get an A. I failed two exams and still pulled out a B+. THIS IS THE MAN TO TAKE. TRUST ME.
No Comments
This teacher was the best. He gave me an A and his lessons were incredible. I mean his way of teaching was amazing. I actually learned something, if you are looking for a good grade then he's your guy. Even if you are not doing that well he will definitely tell you what you need to do in order to get a good grade. I would highly reccommend him!
Professor Burke was pretty cool (I've definitely had MUCH worse professors at BMCC). He can be funny and there's alot of participation and discussion but towards the end of the semester things weren't as funny and the class kind of dragged on and got boring. Good overall though and you get to make up quizes and things. I got an A. Oh and he's NYPD.
he's the best professor i've ever had in bmcc! i took his class on fridays, and to spend friday night in his class makes me feel that i don't wanna it to end! he's a very humble prof., makes the class interesting, fun and exciting! he always say "i believe that everyone has the right to have a better grade", so he's fair to everybody. he has a lot
great professor...but LISTEN TO HIS LECTURERS. he is a little tricky. he wants to make you think. he will do just that. he is not like your average prof. he is also a parole officer. you will have an unforgetable experience
he's just ok. easy to pass,very difficult to get A.
outstanding professor. i was clueless about sociologyn at the begnning of the semester. now, he has peak my interest. do exactly what he says and you will get an A. his lectures are great. highly recommended.
professor Burke is the most down to earth professor at bmcc. his lecturing skills are great. he makes concepts crystal clear and fun. however, you must think in this man's class. he gives you nothing. he helps build the potential in his students. you will enjoy yhr class
he's a great prof
he is an extremely interesting man. knows the subject inside and out. recommended. trust me. you will not be sorry
He is an outsatnding professor. one of the best I had at bmcc. He makes the subject come alive. wonderful personality.
It's an interesting class but if u want a good grade I suggest another professor. He is a hard grader....TAKE ANOTHER PROFESSOR!!!!
Prof. Burke is one of the most influential professors I've met in years! He speaks clearly and has an open mind to his students opinion. He was always on time and assured great learning. Prof. Burke is an excellent lecturer. ONE OF THE BEST I KNOW! From, your 9 o'clock class on Saturday's.
stupid bmcc deserves an idiot like this
GREAT PROFESSOR AND PERSON. WILLING TO HELP ALL HIS STUDENTS. HOWEVER, STRICT ABOUT PROPER BEHAVIOR DURING CLASS. THIS PROFESSOR WILL NOT PUT UP WITH ANY BEHAVIOR THAT WILL DISREPECT THE CLASS.i WOULD TAKE HIM AGAIN
One of my favorite professors. If u want to get A, take his class. Extremely easy.
very easy professor and easy class in general. Person who wrote about "stupid professor" is probably so dumb that he or she failed this class which is impossible to fail.
great professor. he will do every thing in is power to get you that good mark. He will come in on his day off to tutor anyone interested. above all, he is very kind. he is a big guy!!!!!! he may look mean but two weeks into the semester you will see that he is a teddy bear. great proffessor take him
The best professor I have ever had. yes,, the clsss is easy. but thisa is because he talks plan and makes it clear. he is the nicest person in the world.

DO NOT take him if you are not native speaker. He makes up 3 exams and which are confusing. Believe me, even you read the book,most of you will get a bad bad grade. Drop him before it is too late.
One of the best, funniest, blunt professors offered at BMCC. If you have his class, you are in for such comedy as Chris Rock.
Only Teaches through media and power point. Makes funny remarks and very easy going.
Bad Professor. Exams are really hard. Do Not Take Him
the powerpoint is great, the instruction is really useless. I am not impressed with his teaching. Still received a good grade. It is possible to get good grade without studying, just study the powerpoint.
very straight forward, easy easy class. i had mad fun in this class and got and A, prof Burke is very good natured and gives you every opportunity to excel.his class is a must take!
this professor is one of the best in the school. is lecture are on target and they make you think. he the only professor that will review with his students and tell them what they need to do to do well. he demands respect but will give it. work hard - you will get the A
pROFESSOR BURKE IS A GREAT PROFESSOR AND WONDERFUL PERSON. THE CLASS IS FUN BUT YOU LEARN A GREAT DEAL. HE VERY DEMANDING WHEN IT COMES TO LATENESS AND SOME STUDENTS DON'T LIKE THIS. HOWEVER, IT KEEPS THE CLASS FOCUSED. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO FAIL THIS CLASS. COME TO CLASS AND READ THE BOOK AND HIS NOTES AND YOU WILL DO WELL. TRUST ME!!!
Amazing teacher and makes learning fun!
he's very good.class is funny and easy going.a few rules but overall just pay attention n read the textbook.don't be late or talk out of turn. very understandable.
He's a great professor. He makes learning fun for every one. As long as you come to class and pay attention you'll be fine. :-)
The course is just ok. I am not buying all those perfect comments about him. Something is not right, all the comments are too good. He is interesting but I would not say he is the best prof that I had at BMCC. He is ok,so just do your work. Wonderful - No
EH A GREAT TEARCHER. EVEN IF YOU FAIL A TEST, YOU WILL BE GIVEN ANAOTHER CHANCE. TAKE THE CLAS. DON'T BE LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I received a good grade. He does try to help students and he does have rules. But overall, the teaching is not that great compared to other courses that I had taken at BMCC. I learned from the Powerpoint but no real teaching method or concepts about society. I learned too much about prison and not enough about general sociology. Burke is ok.
great teacher. enjoyed class greatly. you will do well
excellent professor. he tough but very fair. he will do everthing in his power to help you achieve. take him.
7' 300lbs of P/T Probation Officer. He catches sex offenders in his spare time. Fun class. Very strict on attendance. 2 tests, 1 quiz, 1 final. Gives 3 hour final exam review (optional). Uses slideshows, not chalk. You will learn a lot. Read book for an A; only listen to lectures for a B. Participation suggested to improve grade. Smart man.
Prof Burke gives really good lectures, but that's about it. His tests are a joke and he's never clear on what to study. He also never gives assignments so your grade is based mostly upon attendance and his slapped together the night before test. You will enjoy his lectures but I feel like he falls short everywhere else due to laziness.
This prof is tough but interesting. Attend his classes if you don't want to fail.He marks latenesses so don't be late. He'll give you a chance to re-take tests but you must study to pass. Read the book. He gives useful notes and you should study them for a test.
THIS PROFESSOR WITHOUT A DOUBT WAS THE BEST SOCIOLOGY TEACHER I EVER HAD. HE IS VERY CLEAR AND INTERESTING. HE IS, HOWEVER, VERY STRICT WITH LATENESS. OTHER THAN THAT YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY
this professor had my interest the entire class. HOWEVER, HE TOUGH. He wants his class to do well and will give make up exams. he is very knowledgeable but teach in a manner that is fun and insightfull. some may not like him because demand respect but he gives it also. if you want to learn socilogy, take him
Professor Burke was a pretty good professor. His grading was very fair. You can retake a test if you need to. Make sure you read the chapters. He might not tell you to read them, but do it. He will not accept lateness or cell phones in his classroom. Overall i enjoyed his class.
Professor Burke made me WANT to come to class on Saturday.
I really enjoyed taking his class, I had him on saturdays and I still loved coming to class. He is strict with lateness. His exams are fair and there are make-ups. He wants everyone to get an A in his class and he will try his best to help you. He is very intimidating at first but he is a very caring person (he is a parol officer)
Excellent Professor. Really cares about what he is teaching. Was a pleasure to be in his class.
Professor Burke was an icrediable professor. he teaches in away that you remember the subject long after you leave the course. HOWEVER, HE DOES NOT PLAY. If you answer that cell in his class, he will throw you out. he wants and demands respect but he espect notjing from his students that he won't give. in all, it wasa great class
I had Burkw for soc 100 adn now for criminal justice. he is the best
Great Prof! Failed all of his tests but he allowed me to take them over and I got a B- for the course. He makes the class worth it, he is hilarious and blunt! Great class would love to have him as a prof again. Don't be late to his class and make sure your phones are off and you will be just fine!
Professor Burke is a great lecture. he the only professor I know that will give a second chance if you fail a test. He knows stuff. know alot about sex offenders. however, he has many rules. he is hard on his students. get there on time!!!!!!!!!!!!! no phones!!!!!!! no eating!!!!!!
Prof. Burke is a great teacher he makes his class worth coming to and his way of teaching is very fun and informative i would highly recommend him...Oh yeah i had him for Criminal Justice 5:30-8:15
Grett Professor!!! but he is tough as nails!!!!!! he puts up with no nonsense. He is 6'6 and 300 lbs. a little intimidaqting at first but he fun and understanding will allow you to take a test again. TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONES!!!!!!!! TAKE HIM
THIS PROFESSOR WAS THE BEST EXPERINCE EVER I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM VERY STRICT SO BEWARE OF HIS RULES BUT YOU WILL DO FINE I LUV HIM (B+)
Professor Burke is a awesome professor. He is a down to earth guy and tells you how it is. He is strict. No cell phone, eating or drinking in class(maybe bottles water) He is always on time. Despite him being strict he is smart, his class is fun because he makes you laugh and keeps you intrigued.
Professor Burke is a great lecturer. and yes, he is strict on his students, he demands respect but he the only professor that I know that will hold himself accountable to his rules. he is a parole officer who works with sex offenders so i guess that why he is strict. some student may not like that but his class was focused. take him.
A great professor! What I liked about him is that he made sociology less text-based, but more life-based. Scientific stuff became more understandable and started to meke sence. He can also surprise, which is cool, too. Definetely take him, but yes, TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONES!!!And don't argue with him that social psychology is a science!
great professor. best experience in sociology. will do ever thing in his power to have you succeed. HOWEVER!!!!! HE DON'T PLAY. TURN OFF THOSE CELL PHONES NO EATING. AND WHAT EVER YOU DO,,,DON'T SPEAK WHEN HE IS LECTURING!!!! IF YOU WANT TO LEARN, TAKE HIM.
Excellent Professor!!! He actually wants you to succeed. He give retakes of the test & drops the lowest grades. Constantly was giving private talks to people that needed to buckle down. GIVES DETAILED REVIEWS for tests! I got a A- He's never vague about what to study unlike other Professors. I got to admit hes strict but hes worth it.Approachable
Exellent Professor. interesting class. unusal way he lectures. very clear regarding exams. I got an A. Now,beware!!!!! he has rules. be there on time. no eating. very structured class. you will do well.
HE KNOWS WHAT STUDENTS MUST LEARN. HE KNOWS WHAT HE HAS TO DO IN THE CLASS. HE SHARES EXPERIENCES WITH OTHERS. HE KNOWS THE PURPOSE OF SOCIOLOGY CLASS
great professor. but he is strict regarding behavior. he will help his students in anyway to succeed.
great professor HOWEVER, VERY STRICT. NEVER EXPERIENCE ANYTHING LIKE IT. WHAT EVER YOU DO...TURN OFF THAT CELL PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I learned more in his class in that semester than I have ever learned in any 3 classes combined. The way he lectures is amazing! He changed my perspective on life and EVERYONE should take his course.
One of the Profeesors Ive had so far. He's very understanding and helpful. If you cant pass his class then your simply either not showing up or not trying. I learned A LOT! from him and if you can def. take his class. HE ROCKS! just dont forget to turn off ur phone and show up to class on time everytime :) He's very strict when it comes to that.
Professor Burke is an wonerful professor. His lectures are extremely interesting and thought provoking. I have decided to douuble major (one being sociology). But, he is strict. VERY STRICT. If you are about the business of sociology...take another class.
this professor knows sociology. he peak my interest from beginning to end. what I truely like about him is his willingness to assist the student. he is very funny but very knowledgeable. NOW, this is what you may not like. he DEMANDS!!! respect for his class; but he gives it.
Very interesting and thought provoking lectures. If you can handle following directions, and want to actually learn something, take this class. Prof Burke is by far, the best teacher I've had at BMCC.
Professor Burke is one of the best criminal justice professors in the department. his experience helps the student truly understand the crimainl justice system. he is very honest regarding the systems short comings. he is very knowledgeable. Now the bad part. he is very strict with regards to lateness and respect. i would take him again.
Professor Burke is very knowledgeable, humane and understanding. he works with his students in every way. but he is strict. he will deduct points for being late if you use your cell phone...god help you!!!!!!
Professor Burke is the Man!!!!!!!!!!! you will enjoy this class. I love the way he lecturer. he is in your face and RAW!!!!!! he tells the truth. you need to take this man at least once
Professor Burke is one of the best professor in this school. if you fail a test, he will allow you to take it again. is lecture are very interesting. you will not be borded. take him
This professor is one of the best professors at the school. He is engaging, clear, intelligent, fair and open. Questions or challenges never daunt him and he is extremely respectful of his students. I am very impressed by his character and his fairness. Great person to meet and to be taught by.
He is such a great person and professor. He is very knowledgeable and his lectures are very informative. He incorporates his knowledge as a parole officer into his lectures. He is very fair and an intelligent man. He respects his students and is also funny; a great professor. He also makes everything crystal clear; make sure your phone is silent.
Easy Class... He drops lowest grade and gives you an oppurtunity to retake exams if you did poorly. He gives an EASY exam at end of summester to replace any other exam you might want to replace in addition to dropping lowest grade... Come to class ON TIME... TURN OFF CELL PHONE and GUARANTEED A
His nonsense Butler assignment you will not get a 100. He will not even read it just give you a stupid 90 and is very lazy. Whatever other people posted about him.... cough cough. If you are projects person you will pass, if you are too urban, and you like nonsense you will get an A. If you are trying to learn do not even bother.
he was a great professor and i had a great experience. he will do ever thing in his power to help you get a good grade.
If you are prepared to learn and get serious, come on time, and be prepared you will do well. if you are not. don't waste your time. not everyone liked professor Burke but he is fair. I received an A. if you are just out of high school (maybe immature) don't take him
He's just strict about little stuff. Like if you use your phoneare late by even a minute use the bathroom during his lecture or miss class you lose points on your next test. If you can deal your 34 on your way to an A. There's 3 tests and 1 paper due at the end. You never have to bring the tb to class you don't need one.
He's the best prof. He's strict about his rules, but these rules make students punctual. He's funny and his lecture are interesting . Students enjoy the class
What can't I say about this brilliant individual. He is the BEST at what he does. He genuinely cares about his students and is very passionate about his work. He is strict but I like that aspect, it forces students to respect him. He is a mentor and a fair grader. The work is interesting and valuable to say the least. Don't hesitate take his class.
best professor ever! 2 thumbs up! He's funny, and makes the material easy for students to understand. very strict with time and absences but a fair grader. he respect every student and always telling us funny stories. can never fall asleep in his class with all the laughter. will def take his class again!
such a great professor though his lectures often drift into stories of his personally life and previous work which i find funny yet interesting i often found myself looking forward to the class which is rare test are super easy. DO NOT COME LATE choose a different class if you cannot make it in on time you will loose 15 points on a test...
Never be late and use gadgets during class or you will fail. 3 exams plus a ground ball quiz to boost your grades and a final paper. 1st exam is short essay questions. 2nd exam is multiple choice (easiest). 3rd exam (final) multiple choice (open book). Ground ball quiz (key terms from the book) again very easy. You will learn alot from him. got A.
great class. you will remember his lectures long after the class is done
Great professor overall, maybe his grades structure is all over the place and confusing at times but he is a great soc professor. Be on time to class, read the book and you'll get a good grade in his class.
Excellent professor
clear cut. nothing left to the imagination. his lectures are interesting and not boring. if want an A, he will make it possible. He is big an respect. I would take him again
he is a gifted lecturer. excellent professor
professor Burke is a great professor but he is very strict regarding lateness and cell phones. but he will give every one 30 points if he is late and he will give everyone 50 points if his cell phone gores off. he you fail a n exam you can take it again. he makes the class interesting. I would definitely take him again
So glad I picked this class. Some times the reviews are fake. But this one was dead on prof. Burke does not accept lateness or cell phone use outside of breaks. Its about respect. Participate, read and take the class seriously and you will pass.
He is a great professor and very entertaining. He gives you all the chances you can get to pass with an A. Very strict with cellphone use but it's worth it. Don't come to class you won't pass. Simple.
Great professor! He hands out the notes as well so you won't always need to write them down and the quizes are easy if you know the material.
It was an honor to have such a likeminded professor. He goes through the work fluidly, and his lectures are unique. He is a gifted individual. A must take. It helps to add your own ideas into the class. Do so, and you will learn much more than that of the subject. He is wise, caring, and considerate. Participate, study, and follow his rules.
Best professor ever... make sure to take his class
I took Professor Burke for Criminology. He's an amazing professor, very helping and makes his lectures very understandable. I really am glad I took this class and if you must take him believe me you won't regret it!
I absolutely love Burke! He is super clear and his lectures r amazing and very inspiring! After each class I felt like I just watched a movie. Seriously! His experience and intelligence together make him one of the best brilliant professors I've ever had. Take him! But remember, he is strict! But this is CRJ so you have to take it seriously
The man made me think about life. I love him and you will not regret taking him.
Funny and interesting class, it is VERY important that you study if you want to pass, He doesn't give out HW. Your exam grades are what counts. He gives you chances to retake exams. I passed and didn't buy the textbook, he does hand out copies from the book. I enjoyed classes most of the time and would take another class of his! I give him 4.5/5
Professor Burke is the best choice for sociology. I makes it direct but teach you how to think critically. he has unbelievable insight; and he is very caring. Now!!! HE IS TOUGH!!!! He will demand your respect but he will give it in return. DO NOT USE THOSE CELL PHONE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Hands down, the best lecturer in the world. I was extremely sick during the semester and had to miss a class, and I was SO upset because I was going to miss one of Burke's lectures. He doesn't just educate you in sociology; he educates you on LIFE! What prof. makes you wish the class was twice as long? Taking his Criminal Justice class next sem!
The tests are so hard, he says bc you need to think critically. Buy the textbook, he does give out handouts but he misses someting. He takes off points if you're late, absent or using your phone. His lectures are just reading off the handout he gives, he talks a lot about his life it's annoying, kinda funny but NOT a good professor
Professor Burke is a great professor. He is tough but very fair. he gives retakes and reviews for the exam. you will learn the subject in a fun and creative way. I would take him again.
Since I been at this school, I have yet to meet a professor who will give his students a retake on any exam they fail. I have never met any professor that will provide his students with extra help and reviews. but he has rules and you must respect his class.
Great professor. Great class. learned a lot
he has great field experience. unbelievable lecturer. would take again. FUNNY!!!!!!
Fun class. No book necessary. He provides all material make sure you read and study his handout. He made the class interesting and fun.
Professor Burke is an awesome instructor. He teaches his classes from online power points, and he gives us copies of it to study from. He's lean-int if you did poorly on one of his exams; he is willing to allow you to take a retake/ or do extra credit work for it
Professor Burke is one of the best professor that I have had he knows what he is teaching, is also very respectful and caring toward his students. Also gives second chances and retakes , besides that he has a clear grading criteria and rules, attendance is not mandatory and you get 3 tests and a paper easy A with an awesome teacher.
great professor 100% recommend taking his class. lectures are interesting and easy to follow if you pay attention. he gives lots of oppurtunites to improve your grade and as long as you study and put effort in you should enjoy this class.
A really humane professor; very respectful towards his students and puts in a lot of effort to make class engaging. Has a lot of real world experience that he draws on in lecture which makes the topics even more interesting and relevant. Also very easy to approach if you need anything, can't make a class, or have questions about the assignments.
Prof: Burke is so nice and respect to students, and attendance is not mandatory. He gives us opportunities to pass exam. We took 3 exam including final and one paper. You never regret to choose him for you sociology 100.
This Professor was incredible. He did everything in his power to have the class understand the material. He knows everything, which gives you the security that your learning from the best. He prepares you well for exams and takes the time with students in private to help you. I would take this Professor again if i could. Thank you Professor Burke
It was a great experience. I was terrified that would not be able to learn on line. Professor Burke allowed us to retake exams that we failed and gave a lot of reviews. Professor Burke's lectures were memorable and thought provoking. His life experience is amazing.
Great Professor
Pro Burke works very hard for his students, and if the students put the work in too, you'll be fine. His test can be hard to understand, so you really need to have a broad mastery of the terms and how they apply. If you are interested in a real-world class, with real-world talk, this is your place!
Professor Burke is very understanding/caring and a great professor for criminal justice. No homework just read the slides and the exams are heavily based on them which is kind of easy at least for me. 2 tests , short paper, final and easy quiz that replace one of your test grades. Easy A class
I loved his class, he gives real life examples and he will answer any questions, sometimes he also tell funny jokes. If you do not understand something he will explain to you.
he is the coolest professor I have ever seen, you should take his class you won't regret it
He is a very caring, hilarious, engaging professor. He was an ex-parole officer so therefore he has some hands-on experience. He makes sure that everyone understands the topics so don't be afraid to ask questions. If you are having some problems/difficulties talk to him so that ya can work something out. Definitely a well-respected professor.
Very good professor, I enjoyed his lectures and charisma, his assignments are very easy and he is very understanding and fair with grades. HIGHLY recommend him as a professor for CRJ 100
Professor was very flexible, and understanding. Made sure his students understood the material. Just put in the work and you will pass.
