Fall 2024 - professor burton is an engaging professor and has more of a personality than most of the professors i've come across. for the 7 series, the professors don't individually write the exams, so picking the class based on professor isn't super important. although she is very engaging, i did find myself teaching myself all the content on my own. she is very knowledgable about biology, but that also means she teaches it as if we already understand the material. i didn't find the class very difficult, as there is a lot of grade cushion, but the tests are written very poorly. overall, this class wasn't too bad, despite what most people may think, and professor burton is one of the better professors i've come across here.

Winter 2025 - Professor Burton is a really lovely person. She is quite enthusiastic about the subject she teaches and is always full of energy, making the class more enjoyable. She also loves to chat after lectures for any questions and for more casual chats after the line for asking questions is gone. The only improvement I might suggest is a clearer explanation of the biology problems on math side, like methods of calculating offspring alleles and probabilities.
