Reviews of professor Alison Buck

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I loved taking Professor Buck! She's super sweet and really cares about sociology. I didn't think I was going to like this class but she made it easy to understand and interesting. There isn't a lot of work so it's easy to pass the class. I think the class is more fun when you're participating and engaged in the lecture and content.

The teacher is nice herself but her teaching style is horrible. She doesnt grade efficiently, no PowerPoint lectures, shes very unclear in her expectations but grades aggressively. Shes giving us a test thats not a final during dead week and we have a major paper due this weekend and some people still havent gotten their rough draft back.

I wasn't super fond of the style teacher that Prof Buck tried to push onto the class. She was trying to lecture, but would want student engagement when many students didn't want to speak up. We understood the content, but when she tried to engage us it was like she babied us.. Course work is very easy and manageable though.

Dr. Buck is relatable, helpful, and takes her content seriously. This class challenged me to learn multiple theories and develop a much deeper understanding of race and racism. This class is really important, I think everyone should be required to take it. Knowing this material can help in your job, social life, and personal life. I recommend!

Dr. Buck is truly a nice woman and a good teacher. Shes very tolerant, impressively patient, and willing to work with you to help you succeed. But I will admit that the class is rather dismal. You read, you go to class, you talk about what was read, and thats really it. If she feels like spicing things up, shell toss in a simple pop quiz.

I loved this class structure, we mostly used Discord (which was great for discussion boards and reaching out to Dr. Buck) and she has it set up to where you don't have to do every module. Good class for connecting to real-world social issues and helps you understand through many different perspectives.

Dr. Buck gives really good feedback on assignments and makes sure to help you if you're unclear about a topic. In the few classes I had for her, the finals were a presentation and you get a few chances on quizzes to correct yourself.

I've had Dr. Buck for two semesters in a row and I love her classes. Her classes can definitely be hard to follow if you didn't do the reading and can be a little dull at times if you're not interested in the subject, but Dr. Buck does her very best to make it as interesting as possible. She's funny, kind, and wants her students to truly succeed.
