Professor Burden is amazingly kind and understanding and is truly passionate about the topics discussed in class. The tests and final exam ask for information pulled directly from the powerpoints used in class so use them to study for the tests and make sure you have a basic understanding of everything covered in them. The homeworks can be difficult so go to office hours or ask for help after class to make sure you do well, they are a relatively large portion of your grade.

If you put some sort of effort in this class, you should be able to get an A in this class. Just do well in the homeworks and inclass problems. If you read the powerpoints and understand the homeworks and inclass problems, the exams will be easy.
