Comment:
He isn't there to help, he will literally throw a problem on the board tell you to do it and if you ask questions he will just state that you should already know. On top of all of that you will learn nothing, just listen to his stock market decisions.

Best professor I have ever had. Took 5 courses under him and every one was excellent and focused on material actually useful and pertaining to real life. Very sad that he retired.

Great professor. Show up and take decent notes, and you will do fine in the class. Teaches lots of very useful things, and somehow makes accounting an entertaining subject.

Very very good instructor. I took his classes for three terms and all his material pertains to real life. 315 might intimidate some students but if you show up everyday, youll do excellent.

This class was awesome and I learned alot. Tom makes it fun and keeps the coursework related to what you will actually use. Attendance is important because tom moves pretty fast and covers a large amount of material. I would not recommend missing any classes.

Comment:
He was one of my favorite professors because of his personality- totally funny guy. You can use notes on all the tests, except the final, but he tells you mostly what he will test you on. NO book needed! Gives a lot of homework, that can be rather hard, and if you miss a class, you will miss a LOT!

Burrell is an awesome professor. He knows what he is talking about and relates the real world back to the coursework extremely well. The class was not hard, you get to use your notes on the exams so that makes it much easier and less stressful. I recommend taking classes with him if you get the chance!

Awesome professor! Funny, sarcastic, makes class interesting! Take good notes b/c you can use 1pg front-to-back on each test. No surprises, very straightforward approach to running the class. Subject matter very interesting & pertains to everyone... especially the personal finance lecture! I discovered my major in his class!

This guy is the man, he is one of the few teachers that could relate all the material to real life. He is always ther to help you out, and one of the only teachers I still keep in contact with.

something about him reminds me of archimedes from the disney cartoon version of "the sword in the stone." regardless of his resemblance to a fictitious owl, the man is a FRIGGEN GENIUS.
