Comment:
He is an extremely smart man, but a horrible teacher. He allows notes on the test, but the tests are EXTREMELY hard. Don't expect to get over a 50 on his tests, though they get scaled up later. Still, this left me with some very stressed out days and nights. I can honestly say I didn't learn anything substantial from this class.

Comment:
Bourke is a nice guy and really smart however i didn't like how he skipped around the book so much. You learn a lot but not in a very structured way. His tests are also very difficult i think, especially for a fundamentals class like this one. To his credit, you will be motivated to learn alot because he likes to challenge his students.

As long as you pay attention to him during class and understand the concepts behind the teaching its not hard to do well. If you dont understand things he will reexplain them. Pefer him to badjou any day

Very smart, and fair, just make sure you want to learn, especially if you are in his field theory course. This is a very complex and confusing subject, but he clarifies it very well. You will do well as long as you try. He is a great guy to learn from.

Very good professor, will help if you actually ask him, he expects you to want to learn and THINK, so dont take him if you don't want to. Also you will pass his class if you put effort in and try.

Not as bad as everyone makes him out to be. Extremely smart, and he does like to look smart. If you try, you will pass.

Horrible teacher. Knows what he's talking about, but doesn't present the information well. I ended up having to learn everything on my own.

Very hard. Very boring. Hard to learn from. Did I mention boring? Expects students to know the material already before class. Does not give any help with labs.

Be prepared for exams that cover your understanding of the subject, not the class notes or homework. He is cruel-hearted, arrogant and disrespectful to students. He is smart, and he will make sure you know it. The excellent book enabled me to ace his class. Still, he's a lousy human being and a sub-par teacher. With any luck, he will retire soon.

Don't ever take a class with him. He is horrible, you won't learn anything! He doesn't hand back labs or homework and you will never know how your doing in the class.

This teacher sucks he expects everyone to know all of his stuff, and he will teach one thing and test you on something totally different, i sat there with my notes and book and didn't see any of the things on the test. Avoid this man at all cost, when asked for help he says he hasen't done it yet.

Avoid this guy at all costs, he is without a doubt the worst teacher in the electronics department. We found him sleeping in his office during one of our labs.

Brilliant man. Very sensible and conveys the material in lecture very well. His courses weed out the people unworthy to be in engineering. There's more to understanding ohm's law than you think.

you dont know ohms law. You think you do, but you are way wrong, and he will prove it and make you feel stupid. Tell him your having trouble with something and he will say, yup thats something you have to learn.
