Reviews of professor Richard Buchli

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Took as a summer course. Professor would assign a reading for each test total of 4. You also had to complete 1-2 discussions per week not very hard. The class was just bad he expects you to retain 3-5 chapters worth of knowledge for an exam at the end of the week with no study guide nor info about what will be on the exam.

Uses lockdown browser & requires access to your webcam/microphone for exams. Doesn't specify whether or not we're allowed to use the book/or our notes. Doesn't respond back to messages (BB/Pronto/Email/Etc.) Grading criteria is convoluted.

Big yes. I am bad at government classes, but this was the least stressful class. The discussions are a breeze, quizzes are somewhat easy. He does require lockdown browser for the two exams but it is not that hard. The textbook is not extremely necessary for online because he provides powerpoints. Great professor.

Summer II class online/ as a online class it is alot of reading You are expected to read 4 chapters then take quiz on those four chapters it's alot of information to remember. A girl from the class emailed him to see if we could use book for quizzes he said yes/didnt let the class know only her she emailed us and told us. Alot of reading.

Everything was mostly done in groups and in person. Nothing was online. His lectures weren't helpful to me because he talks for a long period of time. I relied heavily on the textbook for the exam. Lockdown browser but he let us use our notes for the exams.

Awesome Professor, took this class (Texas Government) online in the summer as a minimester. Discussions are easy, he allows you to use textbooks and study guides on quizzes and exams. Lockdown Browser with webcam is required. The final has some extra credit questions. Amazing professor, will be taking Federal Government with him.

Worse class ever taken. Doesnt care if youre failing, and doesnt provide extra credit. Web cam for exam is mandatory. Never will take this professor again.

If you take his class online it is a BREEZE. There is a textbook but he gives little homework and tests/exams do need lockdown browser but for the quizzes you're allowed to use the textbook and for exams you can use the study guide he provides that has all the answers. Would recommend!

No extra credit. Doesn't let you submit assignments late. You have several discussion boards which he doesn't grade hard in. His exams are tough he expects you to read 5 chapters and he doesn't do study guides. You need to read and know small details.Since his class is online you can only write down notes to use during exams.
