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 - Burton is amazing - I will say confidently she is the best 7B professor. This review will be talking about 7B as a whole. I recommend you practice reading comprehension and the way that the teachers clearly want you to answer questions - through the practice tests, iclicker, etc. If you have good reading comprehension, you will get an A (I would say I have strong reading comprehension and I never had any problems in this class), but if you are good at biology and not good at reading comprehension, get ready for an ego hit. This class is not easy if you think that there should be a clear answer and path to all topics (except maybe the genetic tree stuff which I think is quite formulaic).
