Great teacher. Easy to understand, very clear what is going to be on tests.

He understands what college life is like and is often willing to give a day or two extra on assignments. Burger was good at bringing in real-world examples from his work experience in addition to creating assignments and tests that were relevant and gave a sense of accomplishment upon completion. Highly recommended.

The first 2/3 of the class is quite easy (learning assembly language programing), but the last 1/3 of the class comes very fast and covers hard material (the inner workings of different types of CPUs and memories) too quickly in my opinion. I got a horrible grade because I missed some assignments (which he didn't remind us were due). Check syllabus

Great guy, easy to understand. Teaches well, lectures well prepared. Probably attended less than 70 percent of the classes but was able to keep up because of good, useful homework assignments and clear study guides.

Burger was a very straightforward and clear teacher. I feel like I learned a lot in this class, but I can't help but wonder how much more we could have learned with less repition and more focused lectures. Anyways, this class was very easy and it's not particularly important to attend... Exam study guides all but tell you the questions.. etc.

Incidentally, Mr. Burger is a pretty good programming teacher. The lectures are a little repetitive but that is probably a good thing for people completely new to programming. He doesn't take attendance which is great if you already know a good bit about the class but just need it for your major or whatever. I strongly recommend him.

He is very dry and the lectures are really boring. The tests can be pretty tricky as well. However, he is extremely helpful if you go to his office hours, he has a great sense of humor, and his labs are really easy and are worth a lot of points, which easily offset poor exam grades. The final is basically a free A. Great guy, just a tad boring.

Not a very difficult class. Labs are free points. Pre-Labs can be somewhat difficult. Exams are worth a lot. but two hours of studying can easily get you an A for each exam. If you miss class, it can all be learned from the book, which is surprisingly clear and helpful. Lectures are very boring though, and I fell asleep even after 9 hours of sleep.

Very easy class, taught very well. I learned a lot but didn't need to stress out a lot. The lectures seem a bit boring, but the instructor always puts in little jokes and things to keep it interesting.

Great Teacher, lectures were boring.First 4 weeks linux, 8 weeks of C and 4 weeks of VHDL is how the class is pretty much laid out.Class was easy, he gave a review sheet that gave you the topics for each question.If you never learned C++ be prepared for a rough ride thru C.Otherwise an easy class. HW Bonuses and test bonus were given.

Honestly if you already have taken a computer programming class and have previous knowledge the course can be easy, but if your like me who has no idea about C++ programming he's not very good. His lectures were all over the place and his exams are almost impossible to complete in the amount of time he gives you.

Burger is great, one of the best teachers at asu. Extremely helpful. He is very good at explaining the material and very clear on what he is looking for on tests and assignments. Tests and assignments could be challenging, but he always gives good study guides and as much help as possible on assignments. You really learn a lot on his class.

Burger rocks! He spends tons of time getting the assignment ready, and then lots of class time explaining to make sure you understand. Super smart guy, really knows his stuff. He pretty much gives you the questions on the test in phseudo-code, just make sure you know what he puts in them. Awesome Teacher!

Burger is the bee's knees! This was my second course with him and I could not have been happier with his style/clarity/helpfulness in lecture/assignments/tests. Take Burger as many times as you can, I guarantee you won't regret it! If only he hadn't gotten sick this semester... damn. Get better soon Kevin, the Brickyard misses you :)

Burger is an excellent teacher. He creates a guide for each section he is teaching. He gives clear examples and will do his best to answer any questions to make sure the material is fully understood. Received an A. Completely recommended for CS majors.

Great professor. He is very good at making the material as clear as possible and explaining it in a way that makes sense to everyone. He goes over most of the assignments in class and the homework helps you learn the material well.

He is very fair and don't purposely try to hurt your grade. He is honestly interested in his student s doing well but doesn't nag them about work or attendance. The material is quite difficult but he does a good job of breaking it down for someone that doesn't have prior knowledge. You will do well if you are willing to WORK for the grade.

Very recommended! As long as you go to his office hours and are willing to learn, he will help as much as he can. Gives lots of free points on assignments. Tests are weighted much more than labs (not that great) but if you get nearly 100% on labs and average an 85% on the tests, you can get away with an A. Gives very easy honors contracts as well.

Lecture is dull, lab is moderately difficult, homework is tricky, tests were fairly easy. I got an A because of taking effort to read the book, study the notes and countless of hours doing the labs. Prof. Burger is a nice guy but I find his teaching method ineffective. However, he gives good notes to study from. A lot of E/C is given so no worries.

I thought I would get a C in this class, but he gave out so much extra credit at the end that I ended up with an A easily. He's really boring and his lectures are useless--read the book, study the online notes, and you'll get an A. You can literally show up to 3 classes and labs and get an A in this class (if you work for it).

Dr. Burger is not the most interesting professor, but he does know his stuff. The tests were fairly difficult although he curved each one. He gave plenty of extra credit so there is no reason to not get an A. The book is very useful in this class, especially if you do not attend his lectures.

Professor Burger is a nice guy and always willing to help his students understand the material. However, he does teach very slowly during lectures and spends more time than is necessary for certain topics. It might be more beneficial to do read the book only. This class is an easy A as long as you study for the tests and do all hw and labs.

Good teacher. Boring. Test's are easy. Pay attention and you will do good. He is kinda funny too. I showed up and played computer games and i got an A.

Good teacher. His class is pretty easy. Attendance is not required. He drops your lowest test score and lets you use note cards on the exams. Pay attention and do all the assignments and you will ace it.

Nice guy, but his tests are insanely long and complicated. The final was worth 30% and blew all the hard work you did throughout the semester. He doesn't seem to understand that this class is for beginners. He curves a lot, but shouldn't have to if he'd just rewrite his ridiculous tests. I'm taking again with a different professor and doing great!

I repeated CSE100 because my fall prof couldnt speak English well enough to teach it. Burger is def the best prof I've had at ASU. His lectures were clear but a little slow. He really knows C++ and can explain confusing concepts to beginners. This class was not a cake walk and he really challenges you but if work hard you will pass easily,

The only part that makes this class hard is the fact that his lectures are so boring, you cannot attend them. So you have to learn it out of the book. However, it's still an easy A if you want it to be. As a BME major who doesn't care at all about CSE, he was excellent (due to ease). But I couldn't imagine him being any good to CSE majors.

His lectures can be boring but very useful. Two things about his notes are 1) he writes it down than using a powerpoint presentation and 2) leave a lot of room because he likes to come back and add things. Also he lets you bring in one note card of notes for the tests and lowest test grade is dropped. Overall easy class to pass if you do the work.

This guy is a badass. Easy class. There is no way possible to get less than a B. Not only are tests worth little, a 70% is a B! I honestly don't put much effort into the class and I might get an A, so just imagine someone who tries hard.

CSE220 isn't difficult, but it can move fast at times. Kevin is great at explaining concepts and answering questions. He also has lots of anecdotes which help keep your attention. If you're comfortable with C/C++, you won't need the book. Do attend class and start the projects early, though. Projects aren't hard, but can be long.

Looking for EASY A in CSE100/110 take him.85% is A, 70% is B. Only 4 HW b4 each exam, 3 mid-terms with dropping the lowest, and there are No quizzes. I took it before with Tadayon-Navabi & Balasooriya, and they are better if u wanna learn. If u wanna easy A take Burger!

Kevin Burger is an excellent teacher. In the beginning its super easy and gets more difficult. He kind of goes slow to make sure you understand it. He is very helpful during office hours. I enjoyed taking his class and its not hard to get an A since 85% is an A.

Kevin Burger is one of the best professors at ASU. He actually teaches instead of using a Power Point presentation. His lectures can be monotonous at times but he makes some funny comments which helps.

As a freshmen this was my biggest class I had. Burger was great! He took notes and explained EVERYTHING. homeworks/studyguides were exactly like the test and he gives alot of extra credit. super easy to get an A. defiantly reccomend him

Kevin is one of the best teachers I have had at ASU. He is incredibly intelligent and makes sure that you learn the material thoroughly and with a real-world focus. I came into this class a decent C/C++ coder and Kevin helped me to become a GOOD C/C++ coder. Be aware that his grading is much more harsh in this class compared to CSE100.

Professor Burger is great for office hours, but I didn't learn anything in lecture. Read the book because it will help so much come test time. You get a cheat sheet for the exam and I would focus more on coding examples because thats 85% of the exam. Go to lab because you get participation points.

Very helpful in office hours and seems to care about student success. Projects can be very long. There were only a few of them, but a lot of new ideas to understand and get used to for each. His lectures can seem a bit confusing, especially at first. Mostly because he's so laid back that it's hard to tell what notes you should be taking.

Take Burger!!! No interest in programming, required for my major. Very helpful during office hours. Did terrible on exams 55%, 52%, and 62% and labs but did well on homeworks which are worth 100 pts. Drops lowest homework, lab, and test grade and offers a lot of extra credit. Ended up with a B. A C starts at 55%.

BURGER IS AWESOME. Having no background in programming, I was scared of this class, but he goes so slow and explains things well. I went to class actually because I wanted to know material but its not necessary. He gives a ton of ec, wants students to do well-helps during oo. Overall great prof, drops lowest grades in all areas. Super easy to get A

I wish Professor Burger taught all of the CSE courses! His lectures are the clearest of any class I've had so far. The labs are tough and time consuming, but he is always helpful and the lecture notes are relevant and full of useful information. I'm taking CSE 325 from him this semester too, and I have learned so much!

Burger is awesome. If you can take this class with him, do it. He provides very detailed notes because there is not a textbook for this class. Tests can be difficult, however if you do not do well on them it is because you did not study and follow his study guide. Projects can be very time consuming so start early. Burger rocks.

Super easy! I hardly ever went to class, got a 27% on the final and still got a B. He makes so impossible to fail.

Burger's cool. Read his slides, code away entire days, run your head into a wall when you find a stupid bug. Repeat. Fun class, tests were decent. No idea why we covered assembly language in this class. I sucked at it, but he walks you through it. Take it with Burger.

Burger is my favorite CSE professor at ASU for sure. His projects take literally multiple entire days to complete sometimes, but his lecture notes are so detailed that if you take the time to read through them, you can learn a ton of information.

Kevin is the best that ASU has to offer in the CSE department. He's passionate about the subject, provides extremely detailed notes, and is always there to help whenever you need it. This class will take probably around 20-30 hours or more per lab but it is incredibly rewarding and you will learn it extremely well with Kevin. Highly recommended.

Dr. Burger's online CSE 205 class is documented with hundreds of pages of his own presentations. His lectures are crystal clear. This was one of the best classes I ever took but many students found it difficult. I highly recommend it. Four increasingly difficult projects. Weekly in-depth homework assignments. Be prepared to work hard.

He is a great guy, had him for CSE 100 very helpful whenever you need him. he will do everything he can to help you. 3 midterms and 1 final personally didn't learn a whole lot from the lecture. but he is very clear and he would explain everything in details and would answer any question. definitely recommend taking him. Lots of respect to him

Best teacher I ever had in my life. Easy A class in every possible way. Exams are easy so far. all you have to get an A is to go over the study guide he post one week before the exam.

Most amazing professor I have ever had. He is helpful, understanding, and kind. I wish he couldteach every class!!!! (only 4 exams, clear cut study guides, always available to help). He also allows 1 CHEAT SHEET FRONT AND BACK ON EXAMS!!! Seriously love this guy!

Okay. His lectures are dry, but that's just CSE for you! He really wants you to learn the material. If you want an A in the class, do the labs early! Ask for help when you need it; he is always willing to help! :D EXTRA CREDIT QUIZZES ON DAYS LIKE THE FRIDAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING.

Burger is an awesome professor. Lectures are great but a little boring. Extremely nice and cool guy. 4 tests: 1 & 2 were pretty easy while 3 and 4 were difficult. 2 weeks to finish each lab (plenty of time + EC if you finish early). Not a lot of online homework. Overall great class with very lenient grading.

Amazing professor. Lectures are great but a little boring. Extremely kind and cool guy. 4 tests: 1 & 2 are easy while 3 and 4 are hard (in my opinion). 2 weeks to finish each lab (plenty of time + EC if you finish early). Not a lot of online homework. Overall great class with very lenient grading.

325 with him is difficult. There are 7 projects which account for 40% of your grade. Each will take quite awhile to do considering all the debugging you'll do. Does a great job of teaching you how to read a professional microcontroller manual. EC if project turned in early. Curves tests. Very possible to do well in this class but you'll work HARD.

Highly recommended. If you don't know anything about programming he goes slow and makes it easy. If you already know programming, his generous grading system allows you to skip lectures, labs, and hw and only show up for tests, if you choose. Pop quizzes are extra credit. Non-stressful honors projects available.

Very helpful & clear. His lecture notes are extremely useful, & he's willing to go over homework if you get stuck. Accepts late homework at penalty & gives extra credit for early homework. Homework is due at 4AM which helps if you have 12AM deadline in another class. Injects humor occasionally. Works well with disability students. Would take again.

Great Professor. Easy class, but I still managed to learn alot and even enjoy the material. Also just a cool guy all around. Lectures are kinda boring, but that's just the nature of programming, and they're not mandatory anyway. Offers plenty of chances to boost your grade. Class textbook is not required, but it definitely came in handy.

Mr. Burger is the best teacher for grading. Good with explanation. Gives you quizzes just as bonuses and check your attendance. The tests are easy if you will study for a bit. Strongly recommend him!

Burger makes the class as easy as possible given the subject matter. He gives extra credit pop quizzes which can add 5% to your overall grade. Homework also provides a lot of opportunities for extra credit, and he curves. If you want an A, your overall grade only needs to be an 85. If you want to pass with a D, you only need an overall grade of 40.

Gives extra credit pop quizzes. his grading scale makes it so easy to get an A in this course. Would take again!

The class seems easy during the first week or so. It's really hard if you don't pay attention. The hardest thing is to just pay attention and take notes during lecture. It's kinda hard because he is quiet and monotone, but it's worth it. Also, tests are NOT multiple choice. All short answer questions. DO NOT LOSE FOCUS OR YOU WILL BE LOST.

Burger isn't the most interesting guy, but he is a must take! He genuinely wants cares that you understand the course. Barely anyone showed up for lecture but you can get extra credit if you show up when there's a participation quiz (extra 1% for every quiz). Lots of extra credit opportunities to make sure you get 100% in each category (100% cap).

I will always remember Dr. Burger because he inspired me to change my major to CSE. His lectures are interesting and he cares about teaching quality applicable materials. I highly recommend him for any interested beginner. Now that he has set good foundation, I will be learning more lang on my own. You can learn without worrying about your grades!

20% extra credit given for each lab turned in 2 days earlier than deadline. Gives some online HW that requires online textbook. 2 midterms & 1 final, BUT you can skip the final if you did well enough on midterms (drops the lowest test grade). I did that and still got an A+. Also, hes genuinely a caring teacher and does his best for the class.

CSE230 with Kevin Burger was an easy class. He gives two options for your final grade: one with your tests making up the grade, and the other where homework is 40% and the tests are 60%. He also gives quizzes, which are done in groups, and he often answers the question anyway (worth 5% total grade extra credit). His lectures are long, don't skip.

Burger is great... one on one. He has a monotone voice in lecture but he's much more helpful in person. He doesn't mind explaining things more than once. His homework isn't terrible if you start early and go to him for help. Tests are just like homework. Great guy, really loves what he does.

Prof Burger is a good professor. His voice puts you to sleep, but everything he says in the lecture notes that he puts up online. His homework is pretty easy if you read the lecture notes. During the tests you get one cheat sheet, so that makes them super easy. The class average was always a 70 or better.

The subject matter is dry, but he uses his quirky sense of humor when he can. The homework can be long/tricky, so start early and get tutoring if you're having a hard time. The amount of extra credit lets you relax a little (but not a lot). He does his best to explain things, in class or afterwards, and is easy to like. Notes are online to print.

Great lecturer though his voice is a little soft so I felt sleep most of the time (I was tired _). All the note are available online. You can work in pairs with partner for homework and quiz which is nice. Grade scaling make this basically impossible class to fail. Cheat sheet is allow on test. Very easy class and I work take him again.

Lectures aren't mandatory but in class quizzes count as extra credit. Homework is not awful but can take a while (turning it in early also gives extra credit). The exams weren't bad, mainly because his study guides were very detailed and we could have a cheat sheet. The class average was always pretty good. Really, really nice guy. Good professor.

If you put in the work this is an easy A. All the notes are online and his exam study guides are very detailed. His lectures can be boring and he occasionally does make mistakes but if you don't pass this class with at least a B you either aren't trying or CSE isn't the right major for you.

He has a grading system that makes it very, very hard to fail (and pretty darn easy to get an A). This helps you focus more on learning some pretty interesting material. Actual assignments are rare, but graded very generously.

Burger puts effort into this course. His lecture notes and assignment documents are extremely detailed, and he is very accomodating for students having trouble in the class. A bit low energy, but he clearly cares and knows his stuff.

I wish he taught all of my CS classes, I love him! His notes are so clear and perfect. He speaks clearly and actually knows how to write (most CS teachers don't know basic English). His homework is a little difficult (start early to get the EC).He cancels class sometimes. Tests curved (so nice!) He has a cool website and he looks like Steve Jobs.

It's second time when i was in Pr. Burger's class. This class is very interesting however I think we need labs. I didn't like graders this time. And because Burger cancelled a few classes we didn't cover everything. In general he is nice, tests are not that difficult, oh there are pop quizzes, it's like an extra credit. So I sudjest to attend

He is the best ever. I don't know why he gets this score here. He deserves at least 4.8!!!!

He's a great teacher if you're interested in the material. If you aren't very interested, it becomes really easy to doze off or get distracted, as he's very monotone. But, it's almost impossible to fail his class. I missed a midterm (don't ask why) and still got a C. Take him

He's a real cool dude. He was sick fairly often and cancelled class so we didn't get as far as he would have liked, but he explains everything very clearly in lectures. Kind of odd how easy the class is to get a good grade in, I suggest to actually learn the material and not just go for an A, because getting an A is quite easy with minimal effort.

Burger is a professor that actually cares about his students. His grading scale and curve are both designed to help the student. I took this class last semester with a different professor and dropped half way with a disgustingly bad grade. Finishing this semester off with a high A. Very good professor.

High quality lectures and very generous grading scale.

Great professor when it comes to grading. Gives a lot of ec and awards a lot of points for attempting questions even if final answer isn't correct. Curves exams. Grading scale is the best I've seen. 87+ is an A. Lectures however are boring. Paid attention 40% of the time. Allows Cheat Sheet on exams. Study guide doesn't exactly match exams though

This class is really very easy if you just do the homework and the lab projects. Some students didn't do either of those and counted on the exams entirely for their grade. He offers a LOT of extra credit: turn in a lab project or homework 2 days early get 20% EC. Only 3 exams, cheat sheets on every exam, provides detailed pseudocode for labs.

This is a very easy class and the content is extremely interesting. Unfortunately, while Burger is a great guy who runs a very fair class, he's an incredibly boring lecturer. I couldn't stay awake in class. BUT I really learned a lot from his homework assignments, and his exams were simple. Good class overall, just boring.

Burger is a great professor, but it's sometimes hard to focus in class. Do the hw because they're very helpful for the exams. He gives study guides, but they only really helped for the final exam. Gives EC pop quizzes which help immensely. Huge curve on exams and the final grade. You're all set if you get all the EC and do well/understand the hw.

Burger is fantastic! You can tell that he genuinely cares about his students. He does not try to give trick questions or make things more complicated than they need to be, and was active in the discussion board. We also had very large curves on exams. His lectures can be long and a little dull, but if you watch them at 1.5x speed they are perfect!

Attendance not mandatory, lecture notes posted online, random pop quizzes in class that are extra credit. Projects are very detailed and easy to complete to 100% if started early. Office hours were accessible and useful. LOTS of extra credit. 85% is an A. impossible to fail. Burger is caring and will help you pass if you try. Nice guy.

The textbook isn't mandatory but I used online one and that's how I learned. 85-98 is an A. He drops your lowest exam grade including the final. His actual lectures aren't bad but he gives a lot of information you don't need and he is rather monotoned. Use what the study guides say to read in the book. Utilize the CEMTE tutoring center for labs.

He cares about his students, grades with curves and extends deadlines. CSE205 can be intimidating when you first see the HW and Projects, as they are dense with words that overcomplicate the instructions. Once you figure out how to read through those the HW and Projects can be fun and rewarding. The lecture videos are great, I learned so much!

Took online. Really enjoyed his class. He has a good sense of humor, and is extremely helpful in student discussions, will go the extra mile to make sure you understand concepts.

Great Instructor, complete transparency on where/what and how.

Burger is a great professor! Sometimes lectures are dull, but he throws humor in. Tests can be pretty hard if you don't pay attention, but they get curved and if you do well on labs your lowest test is dropped (incl final). Plus if labs are turned in 2 days early they get 20% extra credit. Go into office hours if you have trouble and you'll be fine

Prof. Burger cares about his students and sincerely wants everyone to pass. Watch all the lectures and take notes. YouTube is you need extra explanation. Turn in all assignments and you will pass. Plenty extra credit, exams are curved, video review sessions before exams and course works is laid out from the first day of class and doesn't change.

Wonderful Professor, one of the greatest teachers that the department has. He is really patient and knows a lot, always there to help. Homeworks are really clear and exams are According to the course. A solid recommendation for this course.

Professor Burger uses 12.5% spread for each letter grade, and there are extra credit opportunities throughout the class, so it is fairly easy to get an A in this class. JDK and IDE showed in lectures are a little out of date so setting those at week 1 is a little frustrating. Four interesting projects, pseudocode provided so not very difficult.

Video and PDF lectures helped me learn the necessary information to complete all assignments. At first glance, his projects and homework assignments looked a little overwhelming, particularly the first assignment having to do with "runs up" and runs down". However, pseudocode provided helped make it a much more manageable assignment. Learned alot.

He has too many students to interact personally with anyone, but he's upfront about it and has a ton of great TAs. His lectures are detailed with excellent notes, although they are very lengthy. The projects are not super fun and you don't have much opportunity to be creative because he writes much of the code and pseudocode for you.

Professor Burger actually cares about his students, and it shows. As long as you stay on top of the lab projects he assigns (not a difficult task), you'll be fine

If you breezed through CSE 105 just know CSE 210 is not nearly as easy. The material can be really hard to understand. However, Burger's grading scale is lenient and he curves exams based on the average score in the class. The projects and homework are weighted heavily. If you do all of the homework and projects you should be fine.

Professor Burger was a good teacher. He was usually pretty responsive and made things a lot more clear. He shows you how he grades everything and gives pretty decent curves. The tests were somewhat difficult for me, but that is subjective. Each week you have 1 or 2 Labs along with a homework assignment.

CSE 259 is definitely a cake walk compare to Calc 3. The cut of for an A is 87.5, and Prof Burger gives out A LOT of extra credits. He is very nice and understanding but he can also be very unorganized. Only take this class if you did good in MAT 243, I never went to class and still have a high A, while many people are struggling.

Discrete math is great preparation for this course! Burger does little to no teaching and most of the class showed up for the surprise-pop extra credit he would give out - recitation is where most of the studying is done. Take Calc. III if you truly want to progress in CS. As most have stated, Burger frequently pushes back due dates - not a fan.

It's not an easy class if you're taking it online. It's a lot of information thrown at you very quickly. However, Burger and his aides hold regular office hours to ask questions and get clarifications. They are all very patient in explaining things if you are having trouble.

This guy cares, enough said.

Professor Burger is all-in-all a great professor. You will probably hear many people complain about him, but ignore them. He always has lectures to supplement Zybooks, which is a decent learning space. His lectures may be dry, but they have great information! He also will extend deadlines if he notices the class is struggling. Good overall!

The class uses an online interactive Zybook. I am completely new to programming, and this class made it so easy. Professor Burger gives a TON of extra credit, extensions, and flexible due dates and is super caring. He lets you use notes on the midterm and final! It is a lot of material that is to be expected from online courses.

Amazing and chill professor.

Really nice and chill professor. He is very passionate about MIPS and cares about his students. TA is goated. However, lectures are really boring and I mostly self studied. Workload is almost 0.

Self study for this class, professor is a very nice guy and workload is almost 0. Will learn everything you need to with his course notes.

Is really good at explaining concepts. Enhanced the zybook and actually made the lectures useful by providing supplemental information. Lectures not only reviewed the content went over in the zybooks, but also helped me clarify concepts that I was struggling with. Would definitely recommend!
