Interesting course content but it does not seem right that he forces us to come in here and rate him, especially with him in the area watching it happen.... is this proper teaching ethics?
He is very easy, the class is very easy itself but he makes it super easy
great Professor!
Super Easy! He gives you all the test question/answers and lets you make up missing work. Boring, but easy A
Always comes late and keeps us here till the end because he came late. He is the chairperson and is really no help to anyone!
Prof. Burke is great!! very easy to understand and easy exams. the review is pretty much the exam... HE IS THE BEST!!
If you want a good teacher take him however you will be reading a lot by yourself in the book. So if you are a student who doesn't like to read. Do not take this class. Does not teach anything just read form the book
Class is such a joke. It's all basic stuff and you probably know everything already. He basically reads you the tests at the review session before the tests....basically the only class you need to go to is the review sessions. Book is useless except for the lab manual which you actually use..
extremely easy.... doesnt really check work... reviews are exactly the same as quiz.. pretty fun
This professor is very easy, practically guaranteed A. If you attend class regularly and do not miss his test reviews, you will surely get an A. His tests are exactly what he gives on the review. Much better than other CSC profs at MCC.
He is the kind of professor i like~~!!!!
show up every day and you can't fail. this is not a hard class and great for the gpa. no brainer i'm filling this out in class right now!
is helping me more than i would have guessed thanks
Prof Burke has a fairly easy class and its as enjoyable as a computer class could be. Not much out of class lab work and the tests are easy and made to pass. Take him!!
Ilike this guy a lot. he makes sure everybody is on the same page and helps as much as possible.
He makes sure you completely understand the work and gives a fair amount of time to hand work in
he is great professor in mcc.he gives you review before the test.it's easy class.
very helpfull and easy going.
If you love him, you will get an A. If you don't...
Easiest class. tells you exactly what questions are on the exam. if you can't attend class just email him and you get credit for coming. impossible to get lower than an A
He is AWESOME. Take his class, jackass!
This professor is so easy.. you really can not fail this class. Gives you the questions for midterm and final that is so easy... Hes the best
professor is extremely helpful, class was fun and easy. he gave you questions that would be on his test and explained everything
he is good frofessor....he helps u to unerstand ...i recomend this professor to other student...if u do all yr worke than it easy A to GET IN THIS CLASS
Really good professor! very helpful!!
This is the only professor for Unix Server and Shell classes. To be straight forward you will not learn how to program Shell and how to administer a Unix server. You will pass the class if you attend the class and the reviews. The class is very easy but not at all helpful for your future, I suggest you taking some Unix course somewhere else.
He is the worst teacher ever! My class was the first time he ever taught CSC 106. Apparently we were the "creme de la creme". He said it EVERY class. Nobody cared about him. If you want an easy A, take his class. But he shows up late to every class, talks about stupid crap that nobody cares about and tries to buy you out with pizza
Professor Burke is caring and know his stuff. The textbooks are good. The best thing about this class is that it transfers. The biggest problem that we had was the late arrival of logins for the publishers web site and CDs.
Knowledgeable teacher.
professor burke is pretty cool. even though i know how to use computers, this class helps me to sharpen up.
just come to class, pay attention and do the labs and you'll be fine.
very good i reccomend anyone who needs this class take him no doubt you will end up wit a good grade.
Easy enough for the class I took; helpful too. Take him if you want to learn a little and still pass
Good Teacher. Do your work, attend your class and you will be fine.
Just make sure you get the book
extremly easy i recomend him
this teacher is the best teacher on the planet! if you want an easy A come to class due the labs and take notes. play on the internet all period and you will get through this boring class.
Extremely helpful professor, If you don't understand something hes more than willing to help you. Truley cares about his students! Do the work and you will pass!
Gotta love this class. Do the labs and listen to his lecture and you'll def get an A! Great Professor!
great to pass, always a breeze
very good teacher
make sure you take notes,he basically tells you whats gunna be on the test, this class is a piece of cake!!
professor is good
He gives knoeledge of the computer from his experiences too which is nice
profesor Burke is a reaaly good professor i love his class
He is helpful and gives you the questions to study for the test.
He is a good professor. When it comes to tests: If you show up for the review- you're golden. If you miss the review- you're screwed. Not a hard class just a bit time consuming because of all the labs
He knows his stuff. If you come to class and do the lab work you will get a good grade.
Class is getting better as we go along. Professor Burke is clear and honest. light hearted with no nonsense.
Videos used for VB and Excel were great.
Took his few classes in year 1999-2000. Easy A+ if you go to all his class and take notes.
He always stayed late to help with the labs which is always appreciated.
Easy going Prof. Show up for class and get help with HW. The tests are the reviews, can't go wrong with this prof.!!! Easy A
An amazingly interesting and intelligent man. Class is so much fun! I heartily recommend taking this course.
If you wanna learn more about Unix environment from 25 years field experienced professional, you should take this class from Prof. Burke!!! Strongly advised!
Professor Burke is a great guy! He loves his work and he loves to teach. If you show up to class each day, and do your labwork and homework assignments this class can be an easy grade. If you are *Actually* interested in Unix he has a wealth of information as he was a pioneer in the field during his career.Also at the end of the year you get pizza!
Good Professor. Fun Class. Do the HW and Labs, be present for class and you will do well. Extremely helpful professor who will stay late and answer all your questions.
Professor Burke is always very helpful with problems on labs and gives the best test reviews!
Professor Burke is excellent at teaching and is very knowledgeable in UNIX. He answers questions about the subject thoroughly. He also has a great sense of humor and is willing to go out of his way to help anyone who asks. I highly recommend taking both of his UNIX classes, as you will be extremely satisfied. Thank you.
I wanted to learn practical unix skill, but we didn't have any hand on experiences. He just review the whole book.. That was not what I expected..
Great Professor! He genuinely seems to know it all. Highly recommend him. Truly is an Easy A.
Awesome prof!! just show up and participate when he's teaching and make sure to do the review before test.. its an easy A+
very good teacher nice and smooth class
Good Teacher, lectures are boring. Def an easy A. Take him, hes a good guy and hes funny.
Extremely easy class, dudes old and mad weird, and he gives the answers to the midterm and final
This guy is very easy.
Great teacher, really hard to fail in this class.
If you have a mac book pro you get an easy A+++++++
he's a good professor . made things simple to understand and made this class easy and not difficult. i would reccommend people to take him for this class.
Easiest professor I've ever had. However, you need the Lab Manual and he can be a little unclear about some dates that things are due. I'd take him again.
easy A, i was a bit lost because there isnt much clarity in the material of when it is due.
Very laid back. Tests are very easy and short. He tells the questions and answers before test. He sometimes talks a lot, but class goes by fast.
Good Professor.
awesome prof. just do your work in class and your golden never any homework unless you dont finish the work
Show up to class, do the assignments. Easy A+ "If you miss the exam review...you're dead meat." -Professor Burke
easy to complete
He's a pretty laid back teacher. Easy labs. Easy A as long as you do all the labworks and do well on the tests for which he gives all the questions and answers beforehand.
very easy class if you do the labs
Look, if you are trying to find a computer science professor, then you just got one.
Just show up for class and your golden. Great teacher
Great professor if you do all the assigments and show up to class u will get and A in the course
go to class once ina while do all the labs and ull get an A. u dont need the text book just a lab book an he gives u the questions to the two tests
prof burke is GREAT... super helpful and he cares about his students. He stayed an extra 30 min after class to help me finish my assignment! had another prof before him, for CSC n he was rude and extremly had, if u have the option take pro b
So this guy is pretty easy. He tells you the exact questions that will be on the midterm and final so just copy those down and your good. You do have to do all of the labs, which can be kind of tedious, but they're easy. The first few classes you'll think he's crazy but eventually you'll start to like him. He's pretty goofy.
Professor Burke is the bestttt! all you have to do is make sure you do the labs and come to class. Piece of cakeee, take himmm! :D
He's a laid back guy and gives you the answers to the tests... strongly suggested!! =]
Pretty chill professor, helps his students, material is fairly easy and its not hard to get a good grade if you show up and understand. This is a good class if you have never really used computers and you want to learn how. Totally recommend this guy.
Take him and you will pass this course without any tension.
really easy..would recommend this class to all my friends if i had any.
HE IS THE MAN!
he's an awesome professor and will help you if you need it. just come to class and do the work and you will pass.
An easy class. Just do the lab work and take the notes for the exam and you should be fine.
easy class, great professor...
Professor Burke is a very nice professor
He explains everything you need to know, he has a great personality, and will give you a chance to make up work if he is notified before time. Attendance is important in his class, and he will never be absent =)... TAKE HIM.. NO REGRETS
HE IS SOOOO EASY!! nothing to worry about..so deff take him!
This professor is awesome, if you attend class and listen to his 10 min lecture and do your labs your golden.He gives the answers to the midterm and final.
Very easy class..the only way you can fail is if you don't show up or do any of the assignments. The assignments are very easy and the midterm is 10 question..final exam 20 and he gives you all the questions and answers.
Professor is very patient and, takes time to explain.
This professor is awesome!!!
easy to get to work with if you have any personal concerns in other words flexible.
Easy A. Just Alot Of Work.
Great professor everyone take him he is the Best of all
Best professor ever :D Funny guy, very helpful, and love ratemyprofessor
He is funny and I like his class. If you pay attention on the class, you will easily get A on this class!
Best Professor Ever! Definitely recommend taking his class
You need to do some programming work, but it is fun and his lecture makes me to be interested in CSC major. You need to do some work and pay attention on the class, then you will get A on it.
I would definitely recommend this professor! Hes extremely cool and chill, helps you with whatever problem you have. Makes the labs easy. I had fun in his class. TAKE HIM!!!!!!!
Amzing professor, if you fail his class, you should pretty much go back to pre-school. He is funny, and easy. my 2 year old sister can take his in class test. The only work you do are the labs, but they are so simple TAKE HIM!! TAKE HIM!! TAKE HIM!!!
he is great. you should definitely take him. he is the easiest professor and he is also very funny guy
u need to do work hard then u will get a on this class! he is best professor i have ever seen!
He can be a little boring and repetitive, but the class is super easy and if you do the labs while he lectures, you will get out early everyday. Overall, worth taking because it is an easy A.
Professor Burke's method of teaching isn't like any other professor in MCC. He is definitely one of a kind. He is extremely smart and knows what he is doing. If a student has problem understanding the work, he will help you. It is impossible to fail his class because he helps you pass it. Respect him and he will show you respect back
One of the best Computer Science professors!
very nice Professor and understands students need and flexible I will definitely prefer my friends to take his class.
He is very nice Professor. If you attend all his classes you will defiantly get A. Easy going I recommend to everyone.
He is a really nice professor, he tries to help the student. Not only during class but he is like the best adviser you could ever had. He was the chairman of the computer Science Department for 5 year and he is really knowledgeable. Study for his final exam because it is like 40% of the grade but It is mostly from the quizzes. Cant Fail this class.
Great professor easy A+
Professor Burke is a very knowledgeable instructor who uses real world experience to apply learning situations to anticipated employment activity. I am confident on how to apply what I learned to my next job position.
Great class! You use the lab book every class. I did not need the textbook. He is very understanding. If you do all your labs, power point presentation, and tests you are likely to get a very good grade. If your absent for no reason it will hurt your grade! Do everything that is asked of you and you will do well. I am pretty sure I will get A+.
This is a very easy course. I took this as a 7 week summer course and got an A with no effort at all. Recommended!
best guy all around for unix
If you looking for best prof. on earth then take him without wasting your 1 second for thinking. Suuupppapppappap
Yes very good A++++ 10/10 would take again! Excellent professor, class was very easy and I learned how to use a usb!! hooray! No textbook use, however you must have the marquee 2010 spiral WORKBOOK and a usb! Dont get the textbook! You will also need the CD that comes with the textbook, so try to get that from some1 else.Just dont buy the textbook!
Professor Burke class is an easy A. It is literally almost impossible to get less than an A in this class. If you cant make a class email him and you will be excused. if you can not pass this class seek the porcelain bowl of knowledge and flush.
One of the best professors ever. He's very understanding and helpful. Take his class!!!
If you dont take this course you missed out
BEST PROFESSOR EVER
if you come to class and do your work, you can leave early. Easy A+
He is very easy teacher but you have to go to class.
Extemely easy class, very nice and understanding professor, knows what he's talking about. Allows you more than enough time to complete and hand in work. 3 hour classes typically last around 1 1/2 hours. IMPOSSIBLE to get less than an A in this class. HIGHLY Recommend.
The best professor everIf you fail this you need help and need to reevaluate your life
If you fail this class, then I have no hope for you! Easy grader come to class and do your work and you'll get and A
very helpful
Amaaaaazing professor funny and helpful and a great teacher
Professor Burke is a very layed back professor. If you do all the labs and pay attention to the reviews you should get an A.
Easy A+ class!!! recommended for everyone to take his class very easyyy also he is a nice professor
Professor Burke is a great professor. As long as you do your labs, presentation, and tests you will get an A. There's no reason why you shouldn't pass. He does take attendance so try not to be absent a lot and if you have to be absent, make sure you email him.
very easy class just do the labs and listen to the test questions he gives
Very easy, laid pack professor.
Professor Burke is awesome! If you don't get an A in his class you just don't try. Show up to class, do the labs (which you can do ahead of time) do your presentation, and you'll do fine in this class. All you have to do is put forth the effort. Loved his wry sense of humor.
Very easy professor.
Easy A and you will definitely learn some new thing
Prof Burke helps get each job done and efficiently. He's a very good professor!! :)
Great professor! Very helpful and easy class. Do the work and youll have no problem, he also gives you the exact marterial that will be on the tests. Highly reccoment him, wish all my profesors were like him.
Best professor ever!! It's an easy A
Easiest A. Honestly, just show up to class and you will be fine.
Really hard class that requires you to do work
you will get an A if you listen to his test review. because the test review is straight from the test it self. Easy A! don't panic we just getting started dont panic your friend shady
Routinely 20m late. Tough luck if you can't learn on your own: he literally reads textbook aloud. It was painful. Doesn't really look at assignments or give feedback & can't understand student Qs so we stopped asking. He's okay when away from podium & actually teaching, but that's rare. Very nice guy, though--makes accommodations when life happens.
one of the best professior for csc 116 in MCC.
Easy A. Best Professor ever. Just show up in the lecture and Before the Test or quiz he will review all the questions and answers just concentrate on it .
Easy A . Best Professor.
The most awesome Professor.
Great Professor. You don't even need a book! Just buy the Simnet Code and the books are online for you to read and do your work. DO ALL THE SIMBOOKS AND PROJECTS and then you just have to show up for tests. He GIVES you the questions and answers to the tests! They are pretty straight forward. Its an easy A if you do the simbooks and projects!
Be ready to Read This guy Teaches Stuff from Book and Will give you test Review which is unclear His tough don't Expect Easy A
Amazing Prof
It is an easy class if you pay attention and show up everyday. He knows what he is talking about and is good at teaching Information Security.
He is great professor, very helpful. I will definitely take him again.
Easy A. Best Professor ever. Just show up in the lecture.
Skip Class wont pass
he is a good professor and very kind. just come regular to class ane pay attention u will be fine. u wont regret taking him. I really recommend him.
Get your project in on time or you'll regret it
He's great!
He is VERY easy and give every student a chance to pass. He wishes the best for his students!
Great class and professor. Simple to pass if you show up for every class. Take him if you have the chance!
great professor.
Professor Burke is a great teacher, he teaches you in a variety of ways using his own personal experiences and trail and error. I would recommend him if you would like to pass with flying colors while only attempting to leanr.
Prof Burke is a Good Professor, lectures might go for long now and then but they're pretty informative. be ready to read as not all information is discussed in class.
Great Professor!!
Very nice professor. Attend his class regularly and you will get easy A
It's a hard class, but Burk knows what he's talking about
Great professor, would recommend to anyone.
Awesome professor.
Final was harder than the midterm, so try and do very well on the midterm that worth 20% and the final is worth 40%. Do ALL the homework it helps in the long run! Quizzes arn't so bad. Since the class is online try and be ahead of everything. Oh! and no need to buy text. There's an ebook for you online.
Should be teaching at an ivy league school
best teacher for csc 116 in mcc
Just pay attention to his lectures, you won't even need a book to read.
Good Professor
Really Awesome Professor!! Easy tests and assignments
He's a pretty straight-forward professor. Show up and you'll pass easy.
Best CSC 116 Professor of all time. He should be inducted into the Hall of fame
A few tests, graded lightly. There will be a 1 page book report (summary) and a short presentation on the book.
One of the best professors at MCC. Gives frequent tests but gives helpful review. Funny sometimes. Attendance is the key in his class.
hes cool, would take again, easy a, learned, understand student well.
This professor is literally the best professor I have taken at MCC! Professor Burke provides you with the materials and knowledge to prepare you for success.
Great straight forward professor.
Professor Burke is a great professor. Knows a whole lot about the battle of Kursk and the British's involvement in stopping the German. His priced possession is his iPhone which he seems to be amazed at how advanced they are. Overall, great guy who worked for bell labs and is over qualified for his job. BRING YOUR BOOK TO CLASS!
he is great !
Clear and Helpful. Easy A. Must Take for 116
He is a good professor for the most part. He teaches directly from the book and without it, it's easy to lose track of what he is talking about. His tests appear hard, especially since his reviews are not always super clear, but if you write an answer that shows him you have a basic understanding of the topic you will get an A.
great professor. take him and you will easily get A.
You will learn more about the Battle of Kursk and his personal resume than the course itself.
Exceptionally Knowledgeable professor
Professor Burke is one of the best professors here at MCC, he is very straightforward in what he expects of his students for the course and very knowledgeable about the topics we covered.
If every professor was like this one, the world would have no issues
Gave me a 19 on a test where someone else who got a 20 had the same answer. #BOOKCHECK
good looking guy and good professor
Professor Burke is great. Just show up, do what you have to do with VB and Excel and you'll pass the course. He's a nice guy! Would highly recommend him.
Great professor. Attendance is very important.
Burke is a great guy, make sure to show up to every class and you'll enjoy it!
very helpful and good Advisor
Gives great reviews for all tests, so take good notes and your sure to pass
Professor has a good system of getting the relevant material within the student's cranium. His lectures are interesting and engages the class throughout the lectures.
Professor Burke is the BEST!! He makes the material relevant in today's changing tech world & also adds in anecdotes & funny stories to keep you engaged and not bored! Book is not necessarily mandatory, but SAM code IS!! He takes attendance so show up. He is CRYSTAL CLEAR w/exam reviews and grading criteria! HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HIS CLASSES!
Burke is the man!! Awesome professor, tests & grading are very clear, need textbook for Visual Basic and the SAM online code. Definitely would take again!! If you love pizza take Burke :)
It's easy to pass the class: - Show up to class - Do the assignments It's really that simple - the professor does his role well. Teaches you the material and provides you the resources/test/quizzes/assignments. Do the work (which is very easy) and you will pass.
This class is really easy. Just do the lab work, show up for quizzes or tests, and you will pass without a doubt. If there are any complaints about this professor, he can come off as nasty when you ask for help. Maybe it is his personality, who knows? But other than that, he is pretty funny. Easy A. Take this class if you want it for the Easy A.
Professor Burke is a good professor, the lectures are bearable.
Easy class. Come and show up you will pass. Have to do all the work assigned online. Skip three classes you fail. Only bad part about the class
Professor Burke, is an excellent professor. He's very helpful and makes class easy. He knows what his talking about. You only take 2 lecture exams and all simnet work is open so its up to you to do them. Take his class you will pass if you complete your work (its not alot of work). Best professor !
I really liked this class. The work is not hard, you just have to be at class and actually attempt the work. I would definitely recommend taking him!
Easy class if you just show up and do the online assignments. Quizzes are really easy. Also, Professor Burke is a great resource if you're planning your education in IT. He was glad to take time out of his day to offer solid, informed career and education advice.
pretty easy class as long as you get all your work done. Grades real easy but you need to come to every class to pass. tests are easy as hell and even goes over all the questions and answers before the test.
hes a cool old dude almost like a grandfather who just wants you to succeed just do all the work and show up for class. Hes going to lecture the same story every lecture so get ready to hear the greatest tank battle in history .
Burke is a cool guy and very straight forward of what he expects from you. If you do all your work and stay on top of it you would pass the class. This class is an easy A and he is worth taking.
Very Knowledgeable, knows a lot about computers and technology. Attendance is mandatory if you want to pass the course, shows up a few minutes late sometimes and tells you that it'll happen. He's nice, tells a lot of stories and doesn't give you many quizzes or tests but you do have to go over the notes to do well on them.
Professor Burke is the easiest. would take him again. gives you the question to the two tests in the entire semester, and a short power point presentation. show up, do your work on simnet and you would pass.
professor burke is one of the best professors for computer science in Middlesex, he goes through every chapter in the books but his quizzes are really easy if you show up to lecture he will give you everything you need to know for the quizzes. he's clear on what he expects from you and its an easy A if you do the work in visual basics and SAM
Professor Burke is the best professor for computer science , pretty easy class as long as you get all your work done. Grades real easy but you need to come to every class to pass,tests are easy too. He is very helpful and nice. you should take him.
he is the best professor for this class. You just come to the class, do your work and take all easy quizes. He is helpful to the students. Overall a wonderful class.
Frank Burke is an amazing professor and he is very easy-going. easy class, easy A
Just take him!
Professor Burke is very clear about the lectures and the grading criteria. Show up in class and do all the assigned tasks and you will be fine.
EASY CLASS. easy A
Very easygoing and friendly. Fair grader, straightforward. Not stressful at all. Perfect credit course for intensive majors such as biology! It transfers easily to four year schools.
he is a good professor
Great professor
Great professor, he is easy going and makes the class easy for you. Just do the work, it can all be done in class and you could get help from classmates. He even says its an Easy A as long as you show up and do the work, just don't be absent and you will get an A. Almost every person in the class receives an A by doing the work.
Make sure that you do your own work. The Robot grader documents instances of cheating and Professor Burke will assign a 0 for that assignment.
I will not lie and tell you thee is not a lot of work, but it is very clear on what is expected. Get to class, and do the work. It's a computer class, so just pay attention and you will learn programs you may not know already, especially spread sheets and access.
Easy A class but only because all you need to do is show up every class. He teaches from the book only! By the time class is done you will know more about his Life at Bell Labs and his family then shell. Fair Warning this class is teach yourself from the book!
You must bring book to each class. He tells you every quiz, exactly what the questions and answers are. And he LOVES to talk about himself. More than he teaches. He doesn't seem to know the material in as much depth as I would expect, and you don't actually have to learn the material to pass... Just show up, get the reviews and do book report.
I was really looking forward to learning Shell and 2 months into this class and I haven't learned a thing. He talks about himself, his family the battle of Kursk! and then he reads the book to us word for word without teaching us anything! No - hands on Experience just Labs straight out of the book. At least it's an easy A - just attend class!
Very boring class, but its a very easy A if you come to class on time and do well on the tests, which he reviews before taking, but he goes on and on about his job at bell labs 15 years ago, and other random things. Easy grade but we had 6 tests and the final is based off the 6 tests, 20 questions from the tests total
I would just say Prof. Burke is the best professor I had till now. He gives no homework, just few easy tests and a presentation to get A. Just go for him.
I can't believe I had to pay for this class. He intentional gives harder work to people who couldn't make it to class. If you attend class he barely looks at your labs. I don't think anyone in my class was ready for the final. He graded it thoroughly and probably failed everyone except the "girls who catch his eyes." Pathetic... waste of $.
This professor is one I hope to never have to take again. All I learned about was his time at Bell Labs and his family! Two Unix classes and he taught us nothing at all! You basically sit there and watch him read to you from the book. Show up copy the answers to tests onto your page and pass, complete waste of money! I wish I had learned Unix.
Very test heavy class. You should read the book multiple times. He goes over the test so there isnt any tricks. Its very reading intense agian, you wont pass if u dont read. Personalitiy wise the class is dull and boring and bad handwriting. The class itself is basically teach ur self style with barely any excerises(the book doesnt have any in it).
Mumbles during lectures which are basically just him skimming the chapter in 10 mins, bad handwriting so you have to try and determine whats written. DOES NOT explain anything thoroughly. Rushes thru class but doesn't actually teach anything at all. WORST class ever.
Easy and fun UNix class. Was very interesting to learn, and teaches how to do some web stuff at the end of the semester. Easy tests and final was a bit harder but easy class generally. Def should take.
He's ok. You have to try to fail his class. Other then that, he's pretty chill.
This class is just a show up and pass. Gives test questions and answers day before test. Easy A+ if you want a GPA booster.
Phenomenal professor, hilarious, you have to show up and do your work and you will get an A.
EASIEST CLASS EVER. Come to class & do your work and PASS simple as that . Attendance is key, so show up and pass . Book is mandatory but tbh u can do it without one Hahahaha . But this 106 class is 100x better than 105!!!! TAKE BURKE
Good and easy professor. Just show up and do the work. He is very straightforward with what he expects.
Easy Class and the attendance is mandatory, only thing is that you will have to read the chapters on your own beforehand in order to understand the lecture.
He's a sweet man. Explains the content thoroughly. You HAVE to show up for his class, he grades attendance. Class is pretty chill, he tells you exactly what is on his tests so you're prepared. Get ready to hear all his life stories though, he's a real "get to know me" kind of guy. OVERALL TAKE THE CLASS ITS EASY AND IT HELPS.
Professor Burke is really easy going. He makes the call fun and enjoyable. He prepares you for tests and quizzes and tells you what you need to know. Attendance is important but other than that its a very easy class. You basically just have to show up to class, pay attention and do the programs in class and he will give you an A.
easy take it
He is a great teacher, very passionate but can go off topic at times. Class courseware is needed, so make sure you buy and come prepared for first day of class. He is usually late so don't sprint from another class to make it to his.
Professor Burke is one of the best professor, he is really nice. take him if you do your work its easy A
Good Professor. Makes morning classes a bit better!
This is the best prof. in MCC he gives good feedback on the work you do. Attendance is important but he teaches the material really good. You will learn a lot from his class and take that knowledge to other university will really help you. so I recommend taking this class.
The BEST professor!!!!! So sweet, easy going, and helps a lot. TAKE HIM!!
One of the best professors in Middlesex County College. I took him for CSC 106 and i got A+. he is very intelligent prof and knows his stuff and will teach you a lot abut the class and will really help you out.
I took this professor for CSC 106, attendance matter in his class. His tests are damn easy just as his review. Just took this professor. Easy passing.
Great prof, 10/10 would take again
Great stories, I learned all about the famous Bell labs. Will take again. Should get a raise
This is my final. If i didn't do this, i would've failed this class
Easy A
One of the most knowledgeable CSC professor I ever had.
the best professor ever.
Be ready to learn
Great teacher I've learned a lot from Professor Burke. He is easy going and a fair grader. I would recommend taking his class over anyone else. Show up to class and do your work it will be easy.
The department needs more people like this guy.
excellent professor
Go to class. Listen to him lecture. Possibly take a quiz and a lab. Go home. Repeat.
Greatest professor to ever teach at Mcc. Highly recommended. Big ups to the mandem at bell labs. #belllabsforever #Goat
Excellent choice, for those who major in CS.
Great professor. Lectures straight from the book. Gives test reviews. Also talks about his amazing experience in Bell Labs.
This is literally the definition of an "Easy A" class. Just show up and listen to him talk, or don't, you'll still pass the class anyway. Right before his tests he has "reviews" which are the exact same questions as the test. His "book report" is a joke, he doesn't even check what you wrote, he just looks that it's 2 pages long and full of text. A+
If you take CSC105 on the Interned with Burke buy your courseware before the start of class and set up your logins for Connect and Simnet immediately. He has the robot graders configured to deduct point for work submitted late. You have to stay on top of this class. People who don't get flunked at early warning time and mid term.

Prof. Burke is an awesome teach! Id highly recommend taking him if you want to learn.
Best professor
Difficult and lecture heavy
Great professor, do your work and will be fine.
A good teacher. Do the work, study for tests (which he gives complete study guides for), and show up and you'll pass.
Professor Burke is an invaluable member of the Computer Science Dept. Get ready to work in his class. Be RESPECTFUL and enjoy the class.
Show up and you will pass, He also goes over the entire test a class before so there shouldn't be any reason to fail. He is slow but very bearable, lastly, you will leave the class with some knowledge.
He is the best professor for CSC 106. His lectures are very interesting and hilarious. True gem. Show up to class, do the work, it's an easy A. TAKE HIM!!
PLEASE TAKE HIM!! YOU. WILL. NOT. REGRET. IT. !!! Literally a GPA booster!! When I first started this class, I had really bad anxiety because I always thought it was a hard class but its an easy A. However it was a lot of work but you can still do it. There's no way of failing this class.
I just finished his summer class and it was the easiest class ever (but ngl since it's in summer, it was pretty fasted pace and a lot of work). The work is easy! finish your work on time and you will have an A. There's no way you should be failing his class & if you do, I never no hope for you
Before you start this class, get your access codes ONLY! DONT BUY THE PAPER TEXTBOOK!! Also, this class is an easy A & if you do your work, you can get an A too! (fyi: I'm not good with computers so there shouldn't be an excuse as to why you would fail his class, it's literally just editing documents and answering questions on connect!
Professor Burke responds quickly to emails with effective suggestions.
If you want an easy A, take this class, if you actually want to learn anything, stay away. This professor spends the entire class time talking about himself and his "accomplishments". Ask him anything about the course and he'll send you directly to the Cengage help desk. Students were teaching him. This teacher will not teach you anything.
Great online class.
Great class.
This class is a very easy A. But keep in mind you will not learn anything during the remote-live lecture. Granted, he is sharp for his age, but he should not be teaching. He will spend the entirety of class repeating stories from his life. It's entertaining at first, but you will have to complete all the Cengage work blindly. I would opt for async
He is awesome!!!
if you need to take CSC106, then this is best professor to do that with. He is kind, caring and wants the class to succeed. There is a lot of work, but we are in college and should expect that. He ensures we have what we need to succeed and responds to emails quickly unlike other professors. If you do not get an 'A', then you did not do the work.
This was a 7 week online class broken out into 3 sections, so a lot to learn in a short period of time. The professor is very helpful, is accessible via email and always ready to help when needed. If you have to take this class, this is the professor to take it with. You will work a lot, but also learn a lot - it is a college level. A must take.
Great experience
Former Bell :Labs MTS, Stevens Graduate. Register quickly or you will be locked out.
He was codeveloper of physical and online course. Responds rapidly to requests for help
He should retire. Stop playing game on the name of education. This class was completely joke for real. Need better instructor.
Professor Burke is nice professor
