Evaluation Comments for Burnham, L.

  1. Professor Burnham is very lively. She knows her stuff and is clearly enjoys talking about it. I really enjoyed this class mainly because she was just enthusiatic. Lectures were done by powerpoints and were accompianed by readings. Not all the readings are necessary. She takes attendence, but I don't know how much of this factors in the grade. Her exams require you to be at least semi versed in the material. Her lectures deal with broad topics and yet are oddly specific. It was sometimes hard figure out why she focused on a specific topic. Overall, I recommend taking the class because she is so enthusiatic.
  2. This was a really engaging class. The professor was a great lecturer and the really brought the material alive. I was a little weary of taking a class with medieval in the description, but Burnham is extremely good at incorporating different perspectives and avoiding the dry parts of early history. You definitely have to take good notes in class and study those hard. If you just study those you will be alright, but you really need to read the text book as well to get all the questions on tests. Burnham was a fair grader if you put in the time to do work, but this will not be a class you can set cruise control in.
  3. Mixed feelings on this course. Burnham is a very interesting professor, and I learned a lot from the readings we had to do. My grades, however, were unusually low, especially considering the amount I felt I had learned and the time I put into the course. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a really interesting class, but only if you don't mind your GPA taking a hit.
