Dr. Julie was an amazing professor that really cared about her students. She even have extra tutoring sessions before every test for students that are confused. She will try everything she can to help you succeed in Chemistry. She is extremely funny and her lectures are enjoyable. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND PEOPLE TO TAKE HER!! (HAS EXTRA CREDIT)
Dr. Burrell was an honest professor. Tests were always fair, and review days for the exams were held the day before. Test reviews were always provided which were always worked out during the review days. At first, she might come off as strict but she is quite the opposite. Extra credit is also involved. Strongly Recommend Dr. Burrell.
Good professor, cares about her students. Plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Responds quickly to emails and holds review sessions before every exam. If you don't pass her class, it says more about you than her.
Dr. Burrell helped me in Chem 1411. She gave a lot of opportunities for extra credit. She truly cares about her students and wants everyone to succeed. Do your part, your homework and lab reports. Also be available for the test reviews, they go a long way.
Dr. Julie Burrell is a awesome instructor. She is a great choice for chem. She was very in-tune with our class and provided additional study and practice time every week from her personal time. There was no lacking in her willingness to ensure students passed the course. She is very punctual and always responded in a timely manner to our questions.
A good professor is one that will create time for his/her students no matter the ought. Dr. burrell is an amazing professor. Will give you just what is important. Mind you, you have to work. This is chemistry. I will recommend her to any student. she is very quick in responding to emails and also gives extra credit. Class participation is important
Awesome teacher. Does everything she can to help you understand. Lots of extra credit!! You can tell she really cares. She will even take time outside of class to help you understand whatever it is that you may be struggling with. Would take her for Chem 2 but thankfully I don't need it.
Well she's a nice professor and she makes sure everybody understands in class before going to a next chapter. Before test, she organizes a revision class just for the exam and it helps a lot.
Dr. Burrell is a good professor. Tests weren't bad. She gave out review material . lots of extra credit available .
She will make you work for your grade, but she helps her students. Very funny and has many stories to tell you.
Dr. Julie is a really good professor and I would highly recommend her. She is very understanding and she explains chemistry in different ways so you can understand. She tells us what to expect for the test and she treats us like adults and expects us to come to her when we have a problem. If you will work hard you will do well.
Professor Burrell is a good teacher, even if chemistry is a hard subject. I took her 5 week summer course and she lectures for a week followed by a test. There are about 5 homework assignments and 4 tests plus a final. She does give a lot of extra credit. You must study outside of class. She does seem to know her stuff and she is funny.
Professor Burrell is honest, straightforward and will help you to the best of her ability. She replies fast to emails and is available to help with homework assignments. She encourages students to study hard. She's also very funny, she'll make jokes to get out of the boring lecture routines that we've all experienced.
A lot of extra credit really funny overall an amazing teacher
She works hard to make sure you pass her class and get the lectures, but she tends to digress from what needs to be taught at the moment, so it can get confusing, but that's because she cares so much about you grasping the difficult topics later on. She gives out extra credit but not the same extra credit opportunity to everyone.
Best science teacher I've ever had. She has an accent but you understand what she says. Gives extra points in class for participating when you get questions right or even correct her. Amazing teacher I hope I can take her for Chem 2.
Dr. Burrell will work hard to make sure you at least pass class. She's very motivated to help you whenever she can. Don't be intimidated when she speaks up or raises her voice, it's just how she is sometimes. She's very funny and tries to keep the class engaged, and her lectures are down-to-earth and very helpful! She has exam preps which help too.
By far the best professor I've had. She loves teaching and doesn't like to fail students, she will go above and beyond to help you understand the lectures. She gives extra credit for participation so be prepared to answer questions in class.
He is there to help you understand the material
One of the best professors in HCC.
Chem 1412 is a step up from Chem 1411, but Dr. Burrell did her best to make it manageable. She'll do what she can to help you pass, and she'll try to keep the class engaged. Overall she's a great professor. Would recommend to anyone struggling in Chemistry
Great teacher overall. Wants to see students succeed, but you have to work for it.
Highly recommend this class. I took her for Chem 1411 for fall. This is surely the best experience ever. I repeat I highly recommend. Make sure you take.
It was a difficult class it can be passed though.
Very honest and respectful of your opinions, it was a long class but made it fun and torable to stay awake. Would definitely recommend her to others
She is so professional and knows how to make students listen to her . However, she is speaking really fast and thats a big problem since she has a accent.
Has an accent but you get used to it and she is still clear. Occasionally makes political comments. Many options for success by modifying test grades.
great teacher, glorious
great teacher, glorious amazing
She is a really good professor and she will help you so much
She would answer all your questions and always make sure every single person in the class understand her lesson. She gives extra credit, drops one lowest test so you can get easy A. She is fun as well.
She thoroughly explains the material not just by using the power point but also explains things step by step using many examples on the white board. She involves the students by having you solve examples on the board in front of class while she goes through the material with you.
All I can say she the best professor in HCC. She will help you as much as she can and don't want you to fail the class.
Dr. Burrell will make sure you know Organic Chem 1 at the end of the day. The class is hard, but she goes out of her way to give you all the tools you need to understand the concepts. Highly recommended if you want to take orgo1 at a community college and understand it at a University level.
if you are looking forward to laugh trough an entire class please take this professor, she has a dry humor but means no harm. i am sad the semester is ending. she is funny and smart she can lecture about organic chemistry on top of her head. very sincere very honest. she is not here to make your life hell. awesome woman
Amazing professor, and amazing lectures.
sooooooo funny, love hearing her comments/opinions on whats currently going on in the world. gives test reviews, doesn't grade homework, really made chemistry understandable !!
Very nice lady. She wants to make sure you really understand what she is teaching.
I love Dr. Burrell. I didnt have a good orgo 1 background, but she still managed to make orgo 2 understandable. She will call you to the board to work out problems which really helps. She gives helpful test reviews and one take home exam and she also drops the lowest exam and replaces with the final. Overall, a funny and good professor.
Being as hilarious as she is, I honestly understood so much more than I ever did in Organic Chemistry I. Orgo II became simpler and just generally easier to understand.
Dr. Burrell is amazing! If you don't understand don't be afraid to say something, she is more than willing to help you understand. Lectures are long but she is really funny so they go by pretty fast.
One of the best professors, if not THE BEST, professor at HCC. (especially for a subject as challenging as organic chemistry!) Really knows, & most importantly- really, LOVES organic chemistry. Her passion is evident in the way she teaches the subject. You will come out of this class never afraid of organic chemistry, and you will love it as well!
she is willing to teach you til you understand clearly. For this class, you dont need to have a book, just read slides and do homework( not a lot of hw) , you can pass her test. Every test that you take in class will have 10 points bonus question.
Do Not get her any ice cream! Even though she loves it so. I learned a lot about Africa, and some chemistry too.
Professor Burrell is a nice person that cares to educate you alot in chemistry even if you had no prior knowledge about it. It might take a few classes to get used to her explaining and teaching style but she is always willing to stop and review if needed. Just be sure to take alot of notes.
Shes good
Chemistry is tough, hang in with her she will help. Great proferror
Good professor who teaches from powerpoints that are based on the textbook and are accessible online. If you do the reviews that she provides, you should have no problem with the tests.
very nice teacher
if you choose to take her then here's some advice --> shes from wakanda, so prepare yourself.
great teacher. Very strong minded. As long as you do homework and review, you will pass the test. Try to watch other videos if you do not understand the way she is teaching. Very Sarcastic.
She is a good person but she gets confused a lot which then confuses the class because she constantly writes things on the board when talking and then will go back and erase and say "oh no that's not right".
Professor Burell is very good at teaching you what you will need to know for the test she gives lots of reviews and goes over the reviews together in class. If you do the review you pass the test! She is really dedicated to making sure all her students pass.
Since I am taking this class during the summer, it is very fast paced and at times seems quite difficult. Be respectful towards her, do NOT speak while she is lecturing, (which a few disrespectful students dont seem to understand) and pay attention & you should be fine. She gives plenty of opportunities to earn extra credit.
She is very good in lecturing and ready to make every effort to see that students understand the course not for the sake of exams but to help student become more acquainted with chemistry courses removing the phobia of solving chemistry problems .She made the course looks very simple because she will explained the fundamental in solving Chemistry
Dr. Burrell is unlike any professor I have taken before. She is never afraid to speak her mind and defends her beliefs/values which I have a great respect for. She is bold and funny which kept the lecture exciting even when lecture was long ( taken during the summer session). If you listen, do hw and reviews. No reason for you not to pass
Dr. Burrell is a good Professor, but I do have to say she is a bit unorganized which for someone who has anxiety about everything this was really stressful. Does go off topic a lot, but she makes sure that you do understand the material and wants you to pass her class. Just stay attentative and keep up with your work.
Great
Dr Burrell knows and loves what she does, she makes things understandable for you, a lot of extra credit is given. The thing about Prof Burrell is that she is a little bit disorganized , also, this class is a lot for a summer session, dont combine it with another course in the same 5 weeks
She is a very knowledgeable professor. If you do not understand her due to her accent, do not be afraid to ask her again and she will help clarify it. She will do her best to explain so dont get frustrated if you dont know whats going on. She provides plenty of resources to help you pass the class
Dr. Burrell is an amazing professor!!I would definitely take a course with her again!She goes out of her way to help students understand concepts, emphasizes key points for the tests, & gives multiple opportunities to receive extra credit. As the student, you MUST study, do your homework, & test reviews to EARN good grades bc it is a summer course.
Dr. Burrell is an amazing professor, she truly cares about her students. She makes sure that everyone understands what she is teaching. Shes a really caring and understanding person. She goes out of her way for her students. Would truly recommend you to take her. Just make sure that you also put in some work, chemistry is a difficult subject!
Professor Burrell was great! At first she can be at lot but you soon get use to how she behave and speaks. You wont regret taking her.
I love her. Great summer class.
Dr. Burrell is a great professor. Although she does go off topic a lot and sometimes gets confused, she means well and truly cares for her students. I enjoyed her summer class. Do the homework and study the reviews, you will pass.
She's a great professor. However, she speaks her mind so don't take things personal. Not organized, you wont know your grade until end of semester. I learned a lot in this class
Professor Burrell shows passion in the Chemistry field. Her accent is thick but easily understood after a few days. Moreover, she keeps the class fun through personal stories of her while she was attending school. Go to class , take her board notes,study her review exams and your grade will be surprisingly good. Read the book for self-improvement.
She is a great professor, she explains chemistry easy to understand. Now I like chemistry more than before because of her.
Professor Burrell is a good proffesor but sometimes lectures are confusing so I recommend reading the book (its easier to follow) and to go to a tutor when needed. Also recommend going to a tutor before exams & she does provide exam reviews which are great and very helpful.
The professor does really care about her students and explains she really explains the material to the students very well.
Dr Burell truly wants her students to succeed and will go out of her way for her students to understand chemistry !!! After this class I have such a good understanding of chemistry !!!!
Great professor! I would definitely take her again. She is a solid professor and knows her stuff. Criteria is well laid out and grading is fair. Lots of extra credit opportunities as well. Don't miss out on an opportunity to take her class. Enjoy ��
Not a bad teacher show up to class keep up with assignments you should do well.
Mrs. Burrell is a great professor! For some reason Anatomy and microbiology was easier than Intro to Chemistry. lol. She wants you to learn and will not just give you the answers. The homework online is super easy if you pay attention in class. Come to class and you will pass! good luck!
Show up to class and you will pass. Also a lot of exra credit opportunities. and the homework online is super easy if you pay attention in class. She explans the material in class so everyone can understand. Great professor!
very good teacher very easy going
I thought this class was going to be REALLY hard but she teaches very well. She cares a lot about the subject so she tries to make sure everyone understands. Coming to class is VERY important, she lets you know what will be on the tests. There is many opportunities for extra credit.
I learned not to take the short cut in life because somehow I will ended to retaking the pathway again. Do it right the first time and no time will be waste. Thank you for your tough teaching.
Dont take life for grant. Their is no short cut in life unless you plan to learn your lesson again.
professor Burrell is very patient and explains her rules. I was lucky enough to take her in the spring semester of 2019, however this will be her last semester of instruction she will be returning home.
She is from Cameroon so it will take a minute to get used to hr accent but she is SUPER knowledgeable and she is HILARIOUS. She is the most down to earth instructor that I've ever had. She offers a lot of extra credit but everything is dependent on attendance and class participation.
great teacher
Provides many extra credit opportunities, does her best to explain material so all her students understand, so attending lectures is a must! Our course gave us an online textbook. 4 tests total and drops the lowest test grade. I have learned so much and never done so well in a science course until now!
Amazing teacher!!! The best teacher Ive had for chemistry hands down.
Definetly recommend her as a proffesor if youre new to college. Great classroom atmosphere and is willing to work with you if you need help.
She is a caring professor. You do not need to buy book or anything. She gave you all the material you need for the lecture and exam. Study her review exam and you will pass.
Professor Burrell is honestly an amazing teacher. It is evident from day one that she really cares about her students. Im not a huge fan of chemistry but she made class fun and her lectures were very well structured. I learned a lot from her class!
This class was awesome. Professor Burrell teaches great. Just online homework quizzes, 4 exams(drops 1) and a final exam. Quizzes are not timed and are unlimited.
Easy going class, make sure you study for every test and you will be just fine! Plus she gives reviews which makes it easier for you! You cannot fail her class! Great lectures! Ask for help if you need it! She will help you!
Proffesor Burrel is very clear with what she wants from a student. In order to pass you must attend every class so you wont be behind. Overall, nice proffesor she cares about students success and gives lots of extra credit opportunities.
Professor Burrell is very easy going. There's 4 exams (drops the lowest grade), online homework, and gives opportunities for extra credit. She is very clear of expectations the beginning of the semester. No pop quizes. You miss class you miss a lot. Take her you won't regret it.
Amazing professor! I love coming to this class. She teaches amazing and makes sure we understand what we are learning. Do all homework and review for the test and youll be fine. :-)
Very funny nice teacher but she doesnt take any crap!
Made you work for your grade, but you ended up learning. She is tough but fair and I would take her again.
Julie made chemistry feasible, there was never a dull moment in class she made us laugh while learning a difficult subject like chemistry. Very sweet person, wanted her student's to succeed. Lots of extra credit!!! Willing to work with you on deadlines. Please take her if you can!
Ms. Burrell is a very inspirational professor. I really work hard in my class. I have a B.A since 2013 and this is the hardest I've ever work and I really appreciate it. I learned not to take things for granted when I have a chance. I will miss her.
This professor is by far the best and most caring person in HCC. This professor delivers her lectures in a way that anyone can understand!!
The professor is very enthusiastic in the job. She expected students to understand by working all her best in the class. I didnt use chemistry for more than ten years but she made the lessons simple and clear. I improved and I did it well this class . She gave a lot of assignments for extra credits so you can improve your grades.
I really wish she taught more subjects, I enjoyed her teaching that much. She can be fast paced, but willingly goes back over something if you ask. She truly cares if you learn. Chemistry's tough but she makes it as easy as can b. Homework is useful and you're allowed to redo it as many times as needed. Heaps of E.C. and very thorough exam reviews.
My favorite class of the semester, it is hard to come across a class at HCC that you thoroughly enjoy.
