People love Burbank -- he's one of the most respected and beloved teachers at Penn. Finkelstein has a reputation for being mean, but she was on sabbatical last year so none of us 2Ls know anything firsthand.
Seconding what m1 said about textbooks. Especially for classes like Civ Pro, where the rules were updated last year, you absolutely need the latest edition of the book. And every Civ Pro professor either requires or recommends Glannon's Examples and Explanations supplement -- and there's a new edition this year, which you should make sure to get instead of buying an old one at the EJF sale.
Personally, I don't like E&E for everything -- for IP, I much preferred the Emanuel outline. Torts you might also want a more straightforward outline, or even flashcards. m1 and I both had a very non-traditional crim professor, so we couldn't use a supplement, but everyone else seemed to use the Dressler one. And for con law next semester, the Chemerinsky book is unparalleled and the best $50 you will ever spend during 1L.
