Comment:
HORRENDOUS!!!!!!!! This class is an elective and it is so unnecessarily difficult. Impossible even. I almost cannot describe how ridiculous this professor is with his grading policies and work assigned. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! He pretty much calls you stupid in emails which he writes a novel for a response to a simple question.

Took the 1st half this class regularly and the 2nd half online in quarantine. To make a long story short... the first half was ok, second half SUCKED. Hardest tests Ive ever taken. Incredibly boring lectures, even for a subject I have deep interest in. No sympathy if entire class fails even in a pandemic! Very intelligent and nice guy nonetheless.

Dr. Burney is one of a kind. Before I took his class, I had a 4.0, and I lost it. His class was the hardest class I've ever taken in my life (up to this point). Go to class. Definitely read the textbook. He tries to trick you on tests and quizzes. Homework helps a lot. He is very knowledgeable, but he is tough.

I took three classes with him and he runs a very hard class! Read the book thoroughly and know ALL the formulas and BOLD definitions. Sometimes he's hard to get help from but overall he wants you to be more analytical. I got a C in all of his classes but still felt like I learned more in that class than most other finance classes I took.

One of the meanest teachers I ever had. First test class had 63 average and no curve. Outside of class he is a very nice teacher. Lots of times he asks dumb questions like have u ever heard of the great depression.

Really enjoyed this class. He is very smart. He thinks he is funny sometimes when he isn't. Study your notes and read the book. The homework is very hard.

Comment:
Very entertaining. One of the smartest professors I've ever had. This can be a problem, since he goes off on a tangent explaining statistics and calculus when he should stick to just finance. Somewhat difficult class. Homework Manager is insanely hard. His quizzes and exams are easier than you would expect. Be sure to read the book.

Dr. Burney is very intelligent, he knows what he is talking about but it is on a different level than I could comprehend. Dont expect to get out of class early. And you definitely have to study!

Burney is a very smart guy but I would not recommend him as a professor for this class. If you go to class every day you can still get a horrible grade! Study hard, try to get a copy of his old exams/quizzes to use as study guides (he knows you can get them), also for quizzes be sure to memorize the end of chapter summaries. Good luck!

Aside from the fact that he's past his peak before his night class rolls around, he is an extremely intelligent guy. He requires students work, doesn't insult their intelligence by giving out grades, and is pretty engaging on the whole. Also, very fair & reasonable despite what others say. Respect him and his class & he'll respect you!

He cannot convey the material in a way a student can understand it. He also has no compassion for helping your grades (except for that .6% curve thanks). When I get 3 A's and a B+ in my other classes I think something is wrong with this class. Also if you MUST take him stay away from the nite class.

Dr. Burney is probably one of the funniest professors ever. I've enjoyed his personality over the past year but his classes are tough. Advanced Corporate Finance is definitely not a fun class. If at all possible I wouldn't recommend taking CBAD 478 and this class at the same time. You will definitely put in a lot of time studying.
