Comment:
This guy's class is interactive but he borders on being mean and arrogant. Talks down to class during lectures and isn't very receptive to when he is not understood. Tests are hard but the material is interesting.

funniest man. i almost didnt mind waking up at 8 am for this class. the material is difficult though so go to class as you're going to need his help regardless of how much you think you know. the exams will prove otherwise

Comment:
Amazing professor and so willing to help you out. I really enjoyed his interactive teaching style. That said, his portion of the course was very difficult and required a lot of work. Reading the book and going to class is essential to getting a good grade on the exams. Probably of my favorite professors at Lehigh.

Comment:
The best lecture prof (tied with Dr. Schray) I had at Lehigh. The material is difficult, and the pace of the class is quick, so even though he doesn't take attendance you really have to show up for every class. He's incredibly willing to help you out if you show you're putting in effort. Only writes letters of rec for students with As in the class.

Comment:
Burger teaches one of the most intensive classes in the neuroscience curriculum. You'll definitely be getting your work in. It's difficult, and complex material but ultimately worth learning. Other than the two BNS core classes, his class is the most important one you'll ever take as a BNS major.

Comment:
Burger is an excellent teacher and his class is very interesting. His examples of the concepts really help to clarify things. I have to say I enjoyed the class a lot. That said, his tests and grading procedure are terrible and completely unfair. Don't take this class for the grade. Only take it if you love the subject.

Comment:
This man is a real asset to Lehigh's Bio department. His lectures are very clear and what is best is that he evokes common themes and properties in processing + gives great examples of concepts. Tests are HARD but don't take the class for the grade! Take it to further your understanding of neuroscience (that goes for you, premeds).
