Burnett's tests are really fair. He sometimes takes test questions directly from the practice tests. The quizzes are questions taken from the textbook. I would definitely recommend him for orgo.

excellent class.
Best ORGO professor at UVA! He really takes the time to get to know and help his students. Can sometimes be a little hard to understand, but once you get use to him and his notes you will be fine! He puts all his notes online before class, so you can print them out and write down what extra info is needed.
Dr. Burnett is the best! He is so enthusiastic about the subject and so much fun. Organic chem really isn't that bad at all... especially if you take it with Burnett.
Organic chemistry is not fun. But if you have to take it, Burnett is probably your best option. He makes the subject as painless as possible... it still hurts, of course, but that's to be expected.
Great Teacher...made Orgo fun. Ended year with over 100 average.
Very easy, one of the best orgo teachers
Great class but orgo is still hard. Burnett is definitely the best although he doesnt curve
Awesome Professor, Burnett is quite possibly one of the greatest people I have ever had the privilege to meet. He genuinely cares about the subject and your life in general. He often talked to me about not just school but life in general. Too bad he will not be teaching for next year or possibly 2 years. He says he wants to rearrange the class to make it more biologically relevant. If you can take it in 2 years i really recommend it, if not you have to meet him
It's so easy to get behind in reading and feel overwhelmed before exams. If you don't let this happen, you'll be good to go. Exams are "predictable" and as long as you do the practice problems in the textbook, you should have no problems. Too bad Burnett isn't teaching anymore though, he was a great professor!
