I absolutely love this man! He is AMAZING! For an arts student who has had NO prior Chemistry background and a pure hatred for the subject, he worked wonders for me. I actually enjoyed going to his lectures. He made everything understandable. Also, he is hilarious, which is a plus for a subject that would normally put me to sleep! TAKE HIS CLASS!

Pure amaze. The guy rocks a chem lecture like nobody's business. He makes lectures enjoyable and he is one of the friendliest, most approachable male profs I've ever had. Oh, and he's a genius, nbd.

One of the best profs at Dal. He is SUCH a nice man. He wants you to learn. He's very helpful and extremely clear in his explanations. Not to mention he's a very entertaining lecturer. The course got a bit difficult near the end, but he helped by taking the time necessary to ensure everyone understood. - I recommend this prof if you can choose.

I was a bit worried about taking chemistry, but Burford makes everything SO understandable. He easily holds your attention. One of my friends commented: "I like how you can tell he loves what he does and has nothing to prove." When you put up your hand he says "Yes, PLEASE!" and makes SURE you understand. Thoroughly enjoyed this class. 5 stars.

Absolutely excellent! I only took Chem because I had to, but found myself enjoying his lectures, even early in the morning. He uses experiments that not only hold your interest but actually help you understand the material. His accent is a joy:)

Burford is excellent. He can explain the concepts so well that anyone could understand it. He's charismatic, and loves when people ask questions. One the best professors I have ever encountered. The voice is so easy to follow, and you'll enjoy going to class.

Great prof! You can't not like this guy. My only beef is not with the prof himself but the textbooks: they're crap because they were made up by the Dal profs. There are very limited examples and practice questions so be prepared to nab a highschool textbook from your little bro. (like I did)- Great prof. Highly HIGHLY recommend him.

Burford was such a good prof. I really enjoyed him .. and of course enjoyed looking at his beautiful face bright and early 3 times a week at 8:30am :). I found him very helpful and he explained things clearly. Overall, I just had a big crush on him. His sexy accent made me pay attention more. Oh, and I also loved his cute little jokes me made.

He is an incredible lecturer. Even though the material was dry at times, his teaching presence was worth showing up to lecture for. He rarely made mistakes, and for him no question is a bad question. Easy on the eyes too!
