The TA, Natalie, was awful and did not even provide many review sessions second semester before tests. HOWEVER, Dr. Burnett was THE MAN! Just as he promised on Day 1, he will make organic chemistry understandable, easy, and sometimes, enjoyable. If you study the textbook, do all the end-unit suggested problem sets and Self-Tests from the back of the solutions manual, come to class, and go to recitation, then there is no reason not to get an A in the course. Besides being an awesome professor, Dr. Burnett is a great mentor who guides you and provides experienced wisdom to his students. I was honored and proud to have Dr. Burnett as my orgo professor.

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!

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

Great class but orgo is still hard. Burnett is definitely the best although he doesnt curve

Very easy, one of the best orgo teachers

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.

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.

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.

excellent class.
