This professor is not helpful, she is rude, and DOES NOT teach you anything. Her tests and quizzes are rigged for failure.

This professor does not explain the information in a way that makes sense. I came into the class have a prior background in chem and ended up more confused. She also insists that the only valid learning occurs inside her classroom and no where else. The tests are filled with random trivia and not legitimate chemistry. AVOID THIS PROFESSOR!!!!!!

she only reads ppt; she doesn't teach at all. I learned by myself do not ever take Chem with her you will waste your time.

Terrible teacher. Doesn't teach. Her own TA's don't care for her.

Professor Burrow's is most possibly THE WORST professor I have ever had during my career at CU Denver. She does not care for her students, and has her Teaching Assistants teach most of the course. If you don't understand chemistry or have a hard time, DO NOT take this class with her, as you will be teaching yourself everything you need to know!!

I love chemistry and science in general but I hated this class because of this professor. She does not stick to the course curriculum and expects you to know things which are not covered. She makes you buy the new book but instead of using the online service provided with it she makes you buy another one so she gets the kickbacks from both.

Dr. Burrow is not prepared for lectures and does not spend time in class actually teaching. She does not work through problems, nor does she give students specific systems to better enable them to work through problems given in class. Class periods are spent with students independently working thru problems with littleno guidance, take a diff prof

Priscilla hates teaching and doesn't do much of it in class. She makes chem which is already hard into a complete nightmare. Don't take her unless you want your GPA to take a hit. She knock me out of Phi Beta Capa which is our horrors society.

Dr. Burrow can be very condescending. She will go through important things way too fast, make you figure everything out by yourself. Pop quizzes are horrible. She told us on our first day we would all fail it and we all did. It's one of the most stressful classes and it's sad she made chemistry so much harder than it needed to be. DON'T TAKE HER.

Professor Burrow is one of the most terrible teachers that i have ever taken. She expects every student to have an extensive chemistry background/knowledge about the course before it even begins. She has office hours ONE day a week for ONE hour. She gives popquizzes whenever she feels like it and the difficultly of the quizzes, depend on her mood.

Taking her class be ready to be stressed out. She makes you watch youtube videos on how to solve the problem before class. She will not go through how to set up any problems in class. She rushes through all the power points. exams are extremely hard, half the class did not finish the 1st exam. basically you will be teaching yourself in the class. n

Terrible teacher. Disrespectful and incredibly condescending, I recommend taking anyone else!

Gives pop quizzes or I'd say don't bother going you'll be teaching yourself anyway. I guess this is what you get at a research university. It's clear she doesn't want to teach, and she has no business doing so. Terrible teacher. thanks for destroying my 4.0 my senior year. Retook it and enjoyed the class and got an A. AVOID this disrespectful woman

Does not give clear explanation on due dates or such, if you're going to take Gen Chem (very tough class) please don't ruin your GPA by taking a class with her, I mean just look at the comments below. Take other professors if there is availability or just wait until next semester

She doesn't have a realistic expectation for students, she doesnt keep in mind that we are taking other classes. I asked her for help and she told me I cant help you unless you help yourself. She will call you out in the middle of class. Yes she knows about chemistry but has no business teaching it.

Horrible professor, DO NOT TAKE HER!!! Prepare to teach yourself through YouTube. She has honestly made me "HATE " chemistry.

She is the worst professor I have ever had. She does not work with you when you are sick or have family emergencies. She is condescending and unfriendly. The class average was very low for my class. Would never recommend her to anyone. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Knows a lot about the subject but doesn't know how to teach it, probably wouldn't be nearly as hard if she did. She speeds through her slides frequently and while she does give a couple practice problems she doe not do a good job explaining them, if she even attempts to. If you take her class be prepared to teach yourself, she expects you to.

Burrow also goes by Crocker, probably because of all the horrible reviews she gets. Class attendance is mandatory if you want to do good on the test. She reads straight off of powerpoint slides and doesn't provide them online. Class overall was horrible and boring. I don't think anyone else teaches nutritional chemistry.

Condescending, unpleasant, sadistic, closed to feedback. Prohibitively high standards that will prevent anyone who isn't already good at chemistry from improving. You'll work hard. You'll learn nothing. You will be treated terribly. You'll hate chemistry. If you go to CU, take Gen Chem II at a different institution. You've been warned.

I took gen chem 1 with her. Lecture is a joke so I would say dont go but she has several pop quizes. Be prepared to teach yourself and if you dont have a STRONG chemistry background from high school then you will probably fail. Trust me dont take her; exams all have one question that is worth 30 to 40 percent of your exam grade. NOT WORTH IT

Takes forever to put in grades, so u don't know your grade until the last minute. The grade she gives isn't your actual grade, u have to do it on your own. Tests are difficult, average test grade is 60s, usually with no curve. Lectures aren't straight to the point. Expects you to learn on your own, but attendance matters. ALEKS sucks & so does she.

She leaves you to understand on your own or to ask her Las

Personally, the worst professor I have ever had. She expects you to know everything without her having to actually teach you. Do not take her class if you don't like relearning all of the material from youtube videos and the textbook. Lecture is pointless but if you don't go, you will fail because of the participation activities and pop quizzes.

Dr. Burrow is one of the most condescending, rude and angry people Ive ever met. She gets angry at the class for disagreeing with her and treats students as if they are stupid. Her teaching style is confusing and difficult to follow, and she gets extremely angry when students speak up about grading issues or confusing teaching style.

I would not recommend this professor to ANY first year students. She expects you to know all the content prior to her lecturing & it's very difficult to manage your time with this class. Her lectures are so confusing, yet you still have to show up to class for participation points & random quizzes. Doesn't offer extra credit & can be rude/dry.

Would not recommend Priscilla Burrow, uses ALEKS alot on top with other homework. You MUST have prior knowledge or you wont be able to past this class.

Burrow was the worst professor ever. Has several materials you are expected to learn from and you will be tested on all of it. 10/10 dont recommend her. If you do have her make sure this is your only class because you will only have time to focus on this class if you want to pass. Taken gen chem with professor Lin if you want a passing grade

Head the warning and avoid this professor at all costs. She takes pride getting students to fail. Never available for office hours and she is always condescending. Her tests are more difficult than o-chem tests because she intentionally tries to trip students up and one question is worth more than a third of your test grade. YOU WILL REGRET IT

Worst teacher I have ever had by far. If she wasnt head of the department with tenure maybe she would care about her job. I'd say attendance isn't mandatory because you will have to teach yourself the entire class but their are frequent pop quizzes. Except to see other students drop the class like flies. Don't waste your tuition money on her.

Dr. Burrow runs the chemistry labs and that is very unfortunate. During this semester a pandemic hit, and she was unwilling to make necessary adjustments. Adjustments that were made were last minute and poorly communicated. Communication was horrendous. I feel so bad for all the TAs who have to deal with students with a lack of info from her.

If you want to fail just take her

It's almost like she's trying to convince students that a degree in chemistry isn't worth it. The way her labs are run, you have to cheat to get an A. There's no possible way to learn everything she expects you to, within the timeframe she gives you. She provides no resources or help if you're struggling. Avoid her if you care about learning!

Dr. Burrow is hands down the WORST professor I have ever had, she is uncaring, rude, and couldn't care less about the student. Her TA's ran the online CHEM 1000 course and not very well I might add. She relies heavily on ALEKS online program which is awful in and of itself. Furthermore, she impossible to contact and refuses to use canvas properly.

It's unfortunate that the university continues to allow her to run the chemistry labs. She is one of the most rude and condescending people I've ever met. She encourages her TAs to treat students poorly and adopt her poor attitude. This class is much more work than its worth and is structured to set students up for failure. 0/10 Would not recommend

Worst professor ever. Very hard on students never takes feelings into consideration. She doesnt teach anything. She expects you to watch her videos and learn from Aleks on your own. Honestly, her TAs do all the work for her.

This was the hardest class I took, hardly any feedback from Dr. Burrow, the TAs did a good job but would have benefitted from more communication. This lab was really hard because of the lack of support on her end, I would avoid taking this lab if you can.

I was really struggling in this course this semester and the professor did not care at all. I emailed and reached out to her many times and she said it was not her fault I was struggling and I should work harder. The only instruction we got was Aleks and they were no help at all. Worst professor ever 0/10 do not recommend.

Her TAs do all of her work. Every week a very long lab assignment is due. quizzes are done every week and if not passed you cannot come into class. overall horrible chem class. would never take again. proctored cumulative final

Dr. Burrow is hands down the worst professor I've ever had. She made me and many others feel as though there was no way we could get through General Chemistry 1. I went to her office hours for advice on how to understand the content and she told me to study more (I was already studying 20 hours a week) and to figure out a different way to study.

Pricilla is not a good instructor. She is rude, condescending, and very mean. I would recommend taking your general chemistry classes with someone else or at another institution.

Dr. Burrow is completely soul crushing with exams in which the material does not match the YouTube videos posted in modules. You will not learn chemistry in this class. She has found a way to teach this course using the least amount of resources and time.

I already have an undergrad degree and have 4 years of undergrad experience to compare this course against. Lectures are disorganized and lack focus. Be prepared to learn most of the material outside of class. This course feels like a waste of my time and tuition money. I'd expect better from a senior chemistry facility member.

Her grading strategy will kill you. She expects that your report is written like a textbook. All of your other assignments are roped into 1 grade on your post-lab. Points are docked for EVERYTHING! It is nearly impossible to get even a B on a lab assignment. If you are sick and have a note you won't be allowed to make it up and will get a zero.

Please don't do what I did, I thought maybe the ratings were due to other factors and she couldn't be that bad. Oh my goodness this is the worst professor I have EVER had. She is the absolute worst, she is arrogant and condescending. This woman is bitter and she looks at you like a something under her shoe she stepped on. Don't take her

Her labs were very lengthy in busy work. In one lab I spent 7 hours straight on my off day making a total of about 15 graphs that overloaded my laptop to the point where it was glitching. Her grading is not reasonable for the amount of time students actually have. We don't live in a utopia where time isn't a scarce resource.

The most roundabout way to try and teach any class, this class isn't about learning they just want you to take tests.Takes up all your time, homework load ridiculous, lectures useless, will literally say "this is on the exam" and spends 10 seconds, lecture isn't posted til after class. There are pop quizzes too. The LAs teach better dont sign up

The amount of work expected for the lab is inhumane and sadistic. Each week you must do an entrance quiz, Active Learning (busywork), a content quiz, and a post-lab (which takes about 4-5 hours minimum). I understand that chemistry is a hard subject, but her lab is a huge waste of time. Don't take her lecture either; she is terrible in person too.

Don't take her for lecture, but also wanted to warn anyone taking lab too since she runs it. There's an insane amount of work each week and it's almost impossible to get full points. I spent 4-5 hours each week on the reports not including all the hours I spent staying after class and going to office hours and still couldn't get an A:(

I had professor Burrow for both lecture and lab, and she made my semester miserable. She lectures extremely quickly and spends little to no time explaining her slides. Not to mention her lab reports were awful I spent about 4 hours each week on the report, and I had to spend hours teaching myself the material from lecture. Do not recommend.

Quizzes did not line up with text book readings. Extremely hard grading criteria for lab reports. Too much in class activities that needed to be done without enough time.

Would not take her class again. The semester with her was beyond stressful. The comparison between her and other professors that teach the same class is black and white; not only in the classroom but in student performance as well. Extra credit isn't offered until later. Lecture heavy and boring.

Class moves very fast and doesn't slow down. If you are behind it is very hard to caught up. LA's didn't really help much or know how to answer your questions.

I didn't take her class but I worked with her as a Learning Assistant. She isn't a bad professor, she cares about students but if you're new to college or don't like to work alone or in your own time, dont take her class. She expects you to know everything and won't go over topics in the glass. Take anyone but her. Take it next semester

so many different softwares you have to pay for and download, she is also all over the place when explaining things, borderline neurotic. you wont learn anything from trying to keep up with how many things you have to turn in on all the different websites. Just pick a different professor for your own sake.

This professor made my life a living hell! First of all, you would never see this professor if you were taking her lab, and you would also have only to email your TA about questions. Her lab reports are very difficult. She expects you to know everything even though the lab does not align with your lecture. You will be spending 5+ hours doing the hw

It is impossible to get an A in this class. I spent 7+ hours doing the work for this class, putting this classwork over my core classes. If you even do good on something they find a way to take away points. The in-class lab is very stressful, you have to complete everything and turn in the datasheet by the end of class or your grade will suffer

This professor did not teach anything. She only provided youtube videos as lectures which only taught steps to basic easy question without teaching the concept. Her test and quizzes would then have impossible hard questions. In fact, some question were never discussed. Her grading criteria was never clear, and never communicated some assignments.

First day she said "I'm not your high school chemistry teacher & this isn't high school chemistry." For an in person class, everything is actually online. Hope you like group work, it's every class, on things we JUST learned (from watching the videos on canvas). 2/3 the class dropped in sp25 & she drops the passing grade to 50% "if she needs to"

She wasn't necessarily my professor, but she's the department chair at CU Denver, and I am so disappointed and angry. I love chemistry, but she has made the labs at CU Denver stressful and weird. She has set us up for failure, it makes me feel like she's gatekeeping chemistry.

Don't even think about relying on her for the actual class information. All the "real deal" material is basically self taught and when she does cover things in class, it's CRAZY overcomplicated. Take her class if you don't mind teaching yourself the entire course but with contradictory instructions and horrible explanations.

I've taken two labs guided by Pricilla Burrow now. In both cases the lab reports are complicated, require extremely specific formatting and I was never taught that formatting. When I reach out for help with the lab reports in general formatting and questions about my math I'm told that "pregrading and not allowed" terrible teacher. do avoid!

This course was horribly taught. There is no teacher involvement and you basically teach yourself from the PowerPoints. The homework assignments are long and there is absolutely no room for error. Way too much work. When it's time for the exams, don't bother studying because she makes them way too challenging and the study guides are useless.

She told me if I wanted to take the class again she could recommend a different professor to me, that I wouldn't learn as much but the grading would be easier. She didn't even lecture though so I actually didn't learn anything from her.

This class was extremely difficult for no reason, especially for it being online. Most of the assignments were ridiculous to give to students, ie. get blood drawn. Some quizzes and all exams are lockdown browser/monitored, which wouldn't be bad if they werent so hard and if we could use notes, but nope. Bad late policy and rlly hard exams.

If your learning style is just to watch videos and take notes-this class is for you! Uses Aktiv for homework, some hw assignments were as long as 105 questions (over thanksgiving break), exam questions are incredibly hard, and they "study guide" was just a list of learning objectives.
