Boring, boring, boring, boring, boring. But easy, easy, easy (if u can put up with this very boring teacher).

Nothing to this guy. Simple and BORING.

Big snoozer. Had a tendency to talk about men being the better sex. He never offered additional help before or after tests. He had a hard paper, and never changed his boring lecture teaching style.

Very boring, very boring, very boring. But the easiest teacher I ever had. Easy A in his classes.

He is sooooo boring...teaches like everyone in the class is a damn philosophy major.... He may know his detail but he teaches like he is teaching it to other proffesors...I do not like him..I hate going to class everyday. He never responds to emails or calls..and ugh i just never didn't like a teacher as much as i don't like him.. !! Learn how to teach to COLLEGE students..you BIG BORRRRRE !! One good thing..I get my day planned out w/my boyfriend while im day dreaming in class.

I took his class and heard he was hard. It sucked. He does all he can do to quelch the spirit. I hated taking his class and it was the worst class that I ever had to take.

This dude is a dope and a BORING one at that!

I give him a good grade in the YAWN factor and he stinks.

We know Burke thinks he is teaching, but if he really looked around to care, he'd see that no one is learning a thing. And, oh yes, take him if you need to catch up on your sleep. He IS so boring!

the worst teacher i've ever had...thinks he is above everyone else!!!

expects you to know the text, even though he never brings it up, talks about himself too much. A voice worse than Ben Stein's! don't recommend!

Comparative religion class--I was very interested in the subject before I took his class. Gave false information then tested the class on it. Constantly brings up that he has a phD. Talked about how tough he was as a grader and told us no one would get an A in his class. I did. Arrogant. I would never sign up for another class with him.

Nice guy, not good teaching habits. The whole class had no idea what was going on. Very hard.

He is the most boring person I have ever met. Made me hate philosophy.

Dr. Burke puts too many things on his plate at one time: very unorganized. He never stays on topic because he is complaining about how he's too busy to have your test graded on time. Dr. Burke does not follow the syllabus. His lectures are dull and don't cover test which consists of useless, trivial information.

Dr. Burke is a horrible instructor. Tells stories about his personal life and does not connect them to anything in class. Your study guides are your notes, so don't fall asleep during his boring stories! His assignments are not clear and lack specificity. He is unwilling to give further instructions than what is on the syllabus.

He talks about his trip to India the whole time! Very dry and boring personality. He doesn't connect with the students. Wastes about half of the class period promoting India or he talks about his personal life. Keep your personal junk outside of the class room Mr. Brk, take him at your own discretion don't say I didn't warn ya!

Dr. Burke is a very smart man, but talks all day about irrelevant topics (India). He is an awful teacher with a semantic personality. If you ask him a question he simply restates what he just said, usually without answering. as stated, he talks at you not to you. Pillow required!! p.s. i hate confucious now.

I agree this teacher talks AT YOU not TO YOU. I am sure he means well but he needs to work on his social skills. He is by far the most boring teacher Ive ever taken. No personality what so ever. Poor guy I hope he improves his teaching methods. I wish him luck! :)

I found his lectures dreadful (horrible presentation skills!), and he often digresses from course material to irrelevant topics. Assignments are vague and he does not clarify them well. He is very unavailable to students. His course was by far the most unenjoyable I have taken, due to the poor quality of the instructor and not the course material.

This guy is so boring it's unbelievable. He talks about random things in class that are not even in the book - leading you to believe you don't need to read the book. Then, you'll find in the syllabus that there's this insane paper due and you should've been reading the books all along.

SO BORING!!! He talks about irrelavent topics. I honestly don't even remember what the class was about because I didnt learn anything. There was no purpose to this class and the books are ridiculously boring and hard to read. All he did was talk. The tests were random things from the book, NEVER DISCUSSED IN CLASS. DO NOT TAKE!!!!

Teacher was monotone, I didn't learn anything during class so I figured I'd skip class and study on my own time then I found out he was taking attendance... wtf.

Philosophy one oh one is supposed to be a 100 level class. Beware, he treats it like a 200. Everything you read about him is right, never take this guy. I got a 0% on my final paper, a 0 PERCENT! I finished everything and didn't even get 1%. This teacher is the DEVIL. Dr. Burke it's a ONE HUNDRED LEVEL CLASS!!

one of the WORST professors i have ever encountered. didnt help me at all. and i went to him many times asking for help. got nothing in return. his lectures are useless because nobody understood anything from what he would say. DONT TAKE HIM!!!!!! he chooses who he wants to pass and who he doesn't!

Dr. Burke was the worst teacher I had so far at ECC. He does not listen to his students when they ask for his help. He's been teaching for so long it's his way or NO way. I legitimately tried to pay attention in class but his lectures were so off topic and when you get the test nothing he said in class was on it!

All I can say is that I am convinced that the only reason I got a decent grade in this class was because Burke liked to look at my chest... He is overly sexual and made me very uncomfortable in class. His lectures made little to no sense and he would shoot anyone down who asked a question, insinuating that they were not paying attention.

Burke is very wrapped up in himself, and very unconcerned with the students. His class is very difficult, even for those interesed in philosophy, and there are three tests and one paper as the only grades. By the end of the class we were at least 3 weeks behind and we hadn't covered a lot of what was on the final. Do not take this class.

He is extremely self centered, does not encourage discussion or even questions from students. Every time a student asked a question he was very reluctant to give a straight answer. He simply rants on about different things happening in Asia, mostly political and rarely about the subject matter, barley anything he says appears on tests

To his Asian Philosophy class cause I was/am interested in ethics/philosophy/theology. Taking his class though will turn almost anyone off from philosophy. Philosophy is supposed to have discussion and be fun and have debates. None of that existed in his class. It's all lecture, don't ask a question in his class.

DO NOT TAKE ANY OF HIS COURSES. HE'S AN ABSOLUTE DICTATOR IN HIS CLASSROOM. LOOKS CAN DECEIVE. HE HATES WHEN YOU ASK QUESTIONS AND BASICALLY JUST STATES HIS OPINIONS THE ENTIRE CLASS EVERYDAY. 12 PAGE PAPER IS DUE AT THE END OF THE COURSE. I DIDN'T LEARN A THING. I LOST KNOWLEDGE OVER TIME LISTENING TO HIM. RUN. SAVE YOURSELF. YOU WERE WARNED

Easily the worst professor I have ever had. So boring. I came into the class really interested in the material but this guy is a HUGE drag. He is an ULTRA harsh grader. I am honestly surprised that I finished with a B. My best friend failed the class because he was accused of plagiarizing. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Avoid at all costs! When he's not assigning 25 pt homework assignments, he's giving you a 100 pt test that he grades very harshly (I got points docked for a punctuation error). Even better is the "Portfolio" assignment that is worth 300 points and doesn't even give examples or explain the assignment at all.

Boring, mean, harsh grader.

Professor Burke was extremely terrible. he lectures the entire class & mixed opinion with material causing any note taking to be confusing. tests are extremely difficult and you either put 100% correct answer or its wrong. punctuation and grammar count as points. I was failing & asked if it was possible to still pass. he offered no help at all.

Save yourself, Burke is no doubt the worst teacher I have had at ECC. I've never failed a course before I took his.

The worst professor I have had. Terrible lectures, doesn't actually follow material he wants you to know. I received all A's and B's other than his course throughout ECC. He randomly talks and it may or may not have anything to do with material he will be testing you on. Random Pop quizzes even the day before the final NO review of any sort.. AWFUL

he does not answer questions or explain things. he teaches in a way that he understand but not in a way that any of the students in my class understood.

He is a horrible professor. Does not review for exams or the final, very monotone and unhelpful. He is very boring. He is very strict on papers and such.

I find it incredible how someone who is certified to instruct students can fail so miserably at it. Does not understand that there's more to learning than simply spewing out words from a textbook. Grades with an iron fist and has a strong and seemingly pointless strictness on format (for everything). Take at your own risk.

He is a horrible professor. He does not know how to lecture properly, he goes off on tangents about his life. He does not help in review for exams. His papers are ridiculous... if you forget to cite properly it counts as plagiarism and the paper is a zero and you get reported even if it's a genuine mistake. i went for help and no help was received.

Literally the most ridiculous class I have ever taken. His lectures are long and dry, and is very unclear when a student asks a question. His lecture has nothing to do with the material in the book. The students grade is based off of three tests and a long research paper.

There comes a time in every mans life when they are faced with a choice. Many choose to take Philosophy with Burke, but very few will succeed. Robert Frost once said, "Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." Take this review as a warning. Robert Frost was wrong. Worst Class Ever!

Burke is very monotone and uninteresting. He lectures on about how he has no one in his life and told the class how upset he was when his cat died next to a Buddha statue. I was earning a C+ in his class. He refused to tell me what my grades were for the final and research paper. I emailed him several times and received no response. Do not take him

Burke is a very uninteresting man. He lectures on about how he has no one in his life and about how his cat died in front of a Buddha statue. I was getting a C+ in the class and ended with a D. He refuses to let me know what my grades were for me research paper and final test. I emailed him several times with no response. Do not take him.

One of the worst professor's I have ever had and couldn't be more bland and boring. Recommend any other professor for this course. Your GPA will thank you in the end.

taking his class has been the worst decision in my high school career so far! He is RUDE to students, and uninterested in helping you out with anything!! It's like pulling a tooth getting him to answer a simple question of yours. Pop quizzes on material not even covered. He doesn't review or help review for any tests! beware. He ruined my GPA.

Dr. Burke seems like a nice guy, but he likes to see himself as superior to the student, which is his downfall. He does not respond to emails, he intentionally has questions on his quizzes that are not covered in class or in the book. He doesn't do power points, and he cannot command the classroom. Do not take Dr. Burke, he will ruin your GPA.

Dr. Burke is a very educated person and knows his material, he knows the entire book by heart, but his tests are pretty tough he only has two (mid-term and final). has seven pretty easy quizzes as long as you pay attention in class. He is very tough on having the term paper submitted on time, but he will not give them back in a timely fashion.

Put in A table of contents page that was not needed on the final paper. Took off 24 points for it. Dr burke in a nutshell

First day of class I knew I was in trouble. Heavy emphasis on the syllabus and is already talking so much about the 10 page research paper. Talks about funny stories on how students lost points on it by doing for example a table of contents for the paper. Super monotone and talks down to students! I've never had a problem with a teacher before.

worst teacher i have ever had. never writes notes for you to follow. everything is verbal. does not use d2l at all so you dont know what your grade is in the class until you have a test. if you ask him a question he sees it as wasting his time. does not respect the students.

Thinks he is an English teacher. Grades papers based heavily on format before even looking at the content. Mess up any portion of the content on accident and you lose 25% on the paper instantly. This is before he grades for content, in a class where content is the most important thing. Horrible way to teach, overall very bad teacher.

He's the most confusing teacher I have ever taken, his personal stories gave me absolutely nothing. If you're looking to pass a class, don't take one of his!

David Burke has a pleasant personality, but he is not a good professor for Philosophy 101. He teaches his 101 course like it is a graduate course. I earned the highest grade in my class, a B. He does not do a good job relating philosophical concepts to real world experiences. He is lecture heavy, and digresses often.

Lectures entire class without PowerPoints. Extremely monotone & tells irrelevant stories. Gives you chapters to read but does not lecture on information in the book. "Lectures are your study guide." He thinks he's an English teacher. Avoid him

Boring speaker, monotone, doesn't care for his students . Worse professor I have ever had

TERRIBLE. DO NOT TAKE. He is a really nice guy but does not know how to teach or set his students up for success. He lectures the whole entire time and does not write on the board or provide powerpoint slideshows. He goes off topic so it's incredibly hard to follow. Overall, terrible experience. Made my semester 100x more stressful than necessary.

Mr. Burke was very disrespectful to some of the students that were in my class. For example, he was very rude to a girl who had gotten up to use the restroom, he told her she was being "disruptive, annoying, and a nuisance to his teaching." This made the classroom environment very hostile. He would also yell at students for asking questions. Bad!

You would really need to pay attention and be a very good note taker because all he did was talk the entire class. He would never write anything on the board, so you would have to listen carefully. He was also rude to many students, especially when they got up to go to the bathroom, or even asked questions.

Do not take. I did not think these reviews would be as bad as they seemed to be... He was an even worse teacher then they made him seem to be.

Worst teacher at the college
