I agree, with one of the other ratings; Mr. Burchett, does ramble, gets off subject, at times interesting information about science, but does not focus on what students need to know to pass his class.

I do not know why others are saying he is an easy teacher, let me tell you he is not!! he is very very hard and demanding. He loves his job but he is rude. He makes it seem like he hates answering questions, and if you do, he makes you feel dumb. Overall big mistake taking this course. Take it if you have no other classes or if you do not work

Dr. B is an educated professor, but he lacks at educating his students. The lectures involved joking and personal stories as oppose to comprehensive explanations of the subject being studied. Don't take this class! If you need a bio-related course take T. Huff. Trust me: 1 final, 1 paper, 3 tests, and no syllabus detailing these assignments.

This has to be the most helpful professor that I have come in contact with. If you do not pass his class it is because you did not put the work in. He provides every single tool needed to pass and is always available during his office hours. He makes his class enjoyable and fun. You have to read the book in order to pass the class.

Amazing professor for the Spring term. Very considerate and caring. His lectures are heavy, but the lab helps a lot to understand the material. Only issue is he shows irrelevant power points during the lecture and then expects you to read the chapters in the book. Might as well teach the course online if the students have to teach themselves.
