Comment:
I went into professor Burnim's class with the expectation of learning a lot about Black Music, while still having a good time. I was gravely mistaken. She grades her papers incredibly difficultly, and her tests often have material that she barely, if at all covers. Steer clear of her. If your major makes you take her class CHANG YOUR MAJOR.

For a freshman level class, she's a very tough grader. Also, she doesn't answer your questions and is incredibly disorganized.

Comment:
I was looking forward to this class and was grossly disappointed. Her lecture information is poorly organized and difficult to follow. She doesn't know how to operate anything electronic including turning off caps lock. Her tone and mannerisms are abrasive and obnoxious. Expect to get a snarky response when you ask her to clarify herself and exams.

Comment:
Worst professor I have ever had. Doesn't listen to students at all. Thinks everything she says is great and useful (It isn't.) Very rude and doesn't return emails. Grading is absolutely ridiculous and she very opinionated and hard to deal with. She tries to be fun but her class is a bore and is terrible to sit through. I give her a huge F--

she plays favorites with students. She also tends to listen to students poorly - she makes a quick judgment about what you are saying and then doesn't listen to your whole idea. Very ethnusiastic though

Comment:
For a Doctor of Ethnomusicology, this woman seems to have an awfully difficult time operating a microphone. Every day in class her voice was feeding back through the speakers, people were cringing, and guest performers were freaked out. How do you think her fieldwork recordings sound? "Scree!!"

Comment:
Leave her alone, she's a good professor with good intentions. She is very renowned in her area, but she expects you to do your work. This isn't a blow-off class, but it is as entertaining and fun as you make it. I was very satisfied with her class.

Comment:
She cares about the students, but is offended too easily. Her tests are suprisingly difficult as she throws out questions that are unfair without compensated the class with a curve. All and all, I will stay away from the folklore department after this.

She seems nice, but she words her tests in a confusing manner and also sometimes messes up the correct information. She does want students to do well though, but not many students actually do.

She's nice, but can get really hyper sometimes if she's had too much coffee. Yes, she loves her folklore/ethno students, but her courses are fun.

I agree. At first she seems nice but then you get to know her more. She is really annoying and favors certain students.
