Very Helpful, Makes math easy to remember

cares about students, teaches well

Nice guy, good at explaining things, tests are not too difficult. Gives a lot of partial credit, just show up and do some work. You should be fine.

jay is great at explaining and takes questions all the time. gives 12-15 pop quizzes on homework and only counts your top ten grades

Jay makes the math program easier than any other professor. He wants you to learn and unlike other professors, he WANTS you to pass.

As long as you kept up it was easy

My Favorite math professor, made everything so much simpler compared to others. He wants you to pass and encourages it. He doesnt try to trick you like other professors.

Jay is awesome and he speaks English great OU teacher compared to others I have had!!!

Jay is a really nice guy. Tests weren't too bad. Very easy to understand. Doesn't collect HW but has a lot of pop quizes.

Burke is awesome!! Highly suggest taking him. A great teacher and is always willing to help. So far, best math teacher i've ever taken at OU. Get his class. Great guy too.

I liked Jay. He is a super nice guy and a great teacher. TAKE HIM!!! I don't think you'll find a better math teacher(at least at OU). Very laid back and easy going.

He is the only good math teacher that I had at OU and is very fair. He also resembles Kevin Bacon from a distance. He has about 12 quizes and counts 10 of them. He also keeps everyone's interest.

I think that he is a great teacher and takes his time in teaching. The class is not hard but it is a math class so it isn't going to be really easy. Do your homework and go to class and you will do fine.

This is a great professor. He is willing to help and can answer all of your question. So, if you dont understand, definately ask. His tests are not terribly simple, but if you go to class and take notes you will do fine.

one of the easiest math teachers at ou, also fun

Awesome teacher. If you show up for class you'll do well. is extreamly good at simplifying math. you will really learn if you take this class.

TAKE JAY!! HE IS A COOL TEACHER. I HAD HIM FOR BOTH MATH AND HE IS THE BEST. YOU JUST HAVE TO YOUR WORK AND SHOW UP TO CLASS. HIS TEST ARE HARD BUT HE IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER AT OU

To pass this class, do your homework, go to ASC and study the tests. Nothing else needed. Good teacher, knows his stuff, sometimes he goes a little fast in class. Make sure you study for the 1st test, half the class fails it, so STUDY!!!

not a bad teacher, kind of boring, pretty much middle of the road guy. makes stupid jokes to lighten the mood. overall decent

he looks like peter north

People who are lazy and don't do homework or show up for class will not do good. If you show up and pay attention the examples you can pretty much do the homework. And for tests he reviews what types of problems will be on the test before you take it. Do your homework and show up for class!

To be sucessful in his class you should show up every class and do all the homework and you will be fine. He will go over similar questions that will be on a test the class before the test. Tests are a little hard but fair. Another plus is he will take and implement suggestions from the class.

Apparently not a good 012 teacher? Either way taught 121 well, moves fast but answers all questions fairly. Math is supposed to be hard, if you do homework everytime he reveiws it the next class and you should have no problem. Bumped my grade to a 4.0 on the final so work very hard for the final!!

He's not the best math teacher...but I don't think he was THAT bad. His tests are a little on the harder side but he passed me in this class after already failing it by someone else before...

He was a really great professor, it just sucked that the math board wrote the tests!

Jay is a "different" kind of guy. He has his own way of doing things and his class demands external effort. If you need to be babied and have the teacher go really slow, don't take him, for it may be frustrating. Overall, he's a pretty decent guy who knows his stuff.

He was a decent professor but a little wierd. He explained the tests just like they were. Just try hard and don't slack and you should be ok.

he is ok professor, helps you if you ask for it. take a night class with him, he reviews for test. his reviews help you alot.

This is not a fun class it is a fast pasted review of what we should have learned in high school or middle school. I found his notes and enthousiasm helpful. At night he gives you a very detailed review that covers in detail 95% of what is on the exam. I'm only over my head because I don't have time to study. He tells you 50% will fail (nat avg

GOOD CLASS

I am definitely not a math wiz and this class was hard for me. But, I really enjoy Jay's style of teaching. He explains the material thoroughly and helps you to understand it. Great teacher. I really enjoyed his class. I would say the best math prof at Oakland.

He gives Great easy to understand lectures, if you go to class and do the homework a lot you should be ok. He is by far the best Math Professor at OU. Go out of your way to get him if you can, its worth it. the other Math prof's enjoy you failing.

Jay is cocky and acts like you are wasting his time but who cares he gives you a clear easy to understand lecture everytime you go to class. Also his reviews for tests are just like the exams themselves. The homework is worth as much as a test grade. Best math prof i have ever had and i just finished up calc II.

Best math professor I've encountered. He covers material quickly, but very thoroughly. He makes everything very easy to understand. If anyone has a question he'll answer it and then make sure they understood his answer before moving on with class.

i detest math. this class was awesome. soooo easy. these people that say otherwise must be complete idiots. and i like jay. he's funny.

Burke is nice. He is very helpful and is SOOO smart when it comes to math. He obviously has a passion for it. Go to class, do homework & make sure you go to the review sessions b/c a lot of his test questions are in the review. I passed the class but not with a grade i needed. That is MY fault, not Burke. I would take him again in a heart bea

very helpful. very funny.i hate math but he made it bearable. i failed this class before, then when i re-took it with him i got a 2.5...enough said

By far best math teacher ive had at oakland university. Easy to understand.Prepares you well for exams with no suprises.Genuinely wants you to do well.Is very helpful with answering any questions you might have.Unlike other prof not earning the grade you want or failing is dependent on your effort level and not how well this professor teaches.

He is the only American teacher that I have had for a math course at OU so far there is no doubt that I am failing the class. I find the tests that are set by the department to be very hard. I have done all the homework that was assigned twice and still cannot manage to pass a test. Jay is like a math god but the department here @ OU is insane

Great teacher, really cares about his students and their success. Very clear, go to class and do your homework and there is no reason for you to do badly. Jay makes math fun... hard to believe I know, but you will agree if you take him!

Jay Burke is awesome. For those who give him bad comments, they were just too lazy to do any homework or even try. He makes math fun, and that is insane. He is down to earth and so funny. He makes the class interesting and teaches you math so that you understand it. He doesnt use huge math terms or anything. He is smart and wants everyone to pass

Wow! I had to retake mth 121 bc my previous professor was way hard and Burke rocks!!! All the quizz questions come from the hw and notes. Tests are fair and hw isn't bad. He actually TEACHES!!! He makes math as easy as possible. I love him!!! Take him, you won't find a better mth professor.

If you want to pass, take burke. Hes a cool and funny guy, he makes math easy to understand. doesnt give impossible test questions on tests like other professors. By far the best math professor at OU.

Great teacher for such a hard class, realizes that a lot of people don't understand math. Lots of examples, and it helps that he's a really funny guy too. You can't get a better math teacher at OU.

by far the best math teacher at OU. Rather than just talking about math problems, he actually does a lot of examples. Doesnt put impossible problems on the tests like a lot of other OU math teachers. Take him. If you take him during the summer, you dont have to do the group poject.

Jay is the man. Great teacher. Doesnt try to trick you on tests.

Good guy. Wants to see students do well. Go to class, do the HW, and you should do fine. CLass is boring, but hes pretty funny so he keeps you entertained.

Jay is awesome!

Jay is a good professor. He gives homework and he will collect it. Tests are pretty hard. He has review days were you go over the material. Overall a good teacher to take for MTH 012 but it is a hard class.

Jay is AWESOME! Never had a better math teacher. He acknowledges math is hard for some people and doesn't belittle you because of it. Clear and refreshing in his teaching style. Wants kids to succeed, no surprises he lays everything right on the table. Obvious that he has a life outside of mathematics which is why he is so cool. Take Jay to pass!!!

Jay was great! I failed this class with another professor but did very well in his class. He gives lots of examples and will tell you exactly what will be on the tests-no surprises or impossible problems like most math profs at OU have. This class is very hard, but he made it as painless as possible.

"The Great Depression" bahahahahha. Good teacher though. I dig his hair. I don't really go to lecture and I learn from his workshop. Nothing really works out for him perfectly, and he'll let you know. Which is funny. Jay Burke for president.

Professor Burke is pretty fair with his test grading and homework. Definitely do the homework for an easy 25 points! Also, make sure you attend the test reviews because they are almost identical to the test and I found it extremely helpful.

Jay was an extremely helpful professor. I used to be horrible at Math in highschool, now I'm considering getting a major in the subject. I would reccomend Jay to any student regardless of their Math level.

Okay, no math class is going to be easy, especially college calculus. Burke makes it as easy as it's going to get. His problems are very reasonable and never impossible like most math profs., and he tells you exactly what to expect on the tests. NO SURPRISES!! If you're not a mathematician, take Burke!!!

He tries to make everything understandable and doesn't just act like we're already supposed to know. He also grades the test fairly.

Burke is kind of the Dennis Leary of professors. Answers if you ask, but otherwise wonders why you didn't already know. Good professor.

Jay was great. Attend class, take notes, pay attention, and you will do well. He makes you work for your grade but there are no surprises. Plus, he's awesome.

Jay is one of the better profs I have had for MTH at OU. Makes you work to get your grade, but its not impossible. Plus he will go in depth on a question you have IF you ask. But IF you don't he'll just move on to the next subject.

Jay was a pretty good teacher. He came with lessons outlined of what would be learned. You do have to work for your grade! He rewards students who come to class regularly; maybe with a hw problem on a test. Class is based mostly of tests. Will help if you ask specific questions.I would recommend him to those who received a 2.6 or higher in Math 121

Jay is an amzing teacher - he has a gift. He knows just how to explain things in a simple way that even an idiot could understand. The people who don't like him are the lazy morons who sleep in class and expect an A without working for it.

I thought he was a really great teacher. Super laid back, easy to talk to and ask questions. Made himself very available. Encouraged questions. Tests were straight forward no surprises and even gave us an option for our homework and how it was collected. I was extremely happy I had him as my professor, would encourage others to take his class.

He was a great guy, really funny and easy to talk to. I had him last semester, it was the easiest math class I've ever taken, despite the difficult material. he really knew what he was doing, and helped a lot

Had for pre-calc. workshop. He was ok at explaining and answering questions. He skipped steps like simplifying so sometimes I would get lost on how he got from one step to another. He taught the material really fast since there wasn't a lot of time to go over it. He tried to help us prepare for exams with practice questions. Don't take math at OU!
