Reviews of professor Rose Buckelew

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
WAY too much reading. It's like she assumes everybody in her class only has her class.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The class was set up so that we had 4 open note quizzes, 9, 250-300 word memos, and 10 in class exercises that counted as attendendance points throughout the sem. The topics taught were heavy at times, but everything was handled well. Following the incident of Nov 13, Buckelew responded the best out of all of my classes and was so understanding

She assigns gigantic readings and poorly summarizes them in lecture slides which she doesn't even post online. She was also rude and when I had a problem with my TA, she refused to hear me out and took the TA's side. I had to take it up the ladder to obtain an apology from her afterward. Overall, she's an awful person who I hope I never meet again.

I did all the readings, participated in discussion, and went to lecture and still ended up with a B. Her exams are unpredictable and I would not recommend taking this course to study for the MCAT. It should be a Women and Gender Studies course, and not a sociology one.

i think this course was harder than it should have been especially for a intro level course. There's so much information to cover with no review guides for exam 1 or 2 with an exception with final exam. if this class was not a requirement towards a Soc major i would i highly encourage you not to enroll in it. I hope this helps.

Professor Buckelew is brilliant. I've never felt myself grow intellectually as I did during and especially by the end of her course. She fostered such a healthy and fun learning environment each day. Not a harsh grader at all, people are just sensitive. Her feedback is constructive and improves you as a writer and thinker. Sooo thankful for her.

she makes things harder that they have to be. she assigns lots of time consuming readings. she doesnt help you prepare for the difficult tests which which make up your entire grade for the class.

Professor Buckelew does some things very well. Elaborates on readings and cares about her students. However, her grading criteria on the papers (25% of class grades) is very very unclear. All she tells you is that they'll cover materials the class has covered, but she does give you a cheat sheet of your own work. Work extremely hard for the grades

Too much reading and hard exams.

Professor Buckelew is one of my favorite professors at the university. I've taken intro, a 3000-level course, and this class with her. Her approach (grading method, amount of assignments) is different depending on the course level, but she is always clear about her expectations. Reading is necessary but I always found the topics interesting.
