Professor Bucher is a really nice and well prepared professor, but she is the toughest grader ever! No matter how much effort you put, or how much you try to improve your writing, she will never be satisfied, and therefore will never give you an A (in the essays). The good thing is that she gives extra credit so that your grade can improve.

Highly recommended! Nice lectures. She's a very caring professor. Going to her office hours really helps. She's very willing to help and motivate you through your college experience. You'll have 4 important essays. You'll write 4 personal stories and present one of them in class. You'll take quizzes (5-6 questions) about the readings she assigns.

She is a good teacher but her grading can be tough. Prepare to read from the book because if not she will pick on random people. There's a total of 3 essays, 1 annotated bibliography, 1 outline, and 1 final research paper. You may find grading a little unfair. Attendance is mandatory so be prepared every class.

Great professor in the way that she goes over readings, current events, and upcoming assignments. This class encouraged me to take more in person classes because it was welcoming and fun. Provides clear instructions and rubrics. For essays, like the research paper, she even provides a very helpful outline to aid in the writing process.

Tough grader my Gyatt. I literally finished her class with a 118.14%, and the amount of work I had to do for both of my Dual enrollment English classes was 6 times the equivalent of what I had to do for this class. If you actually do all your work, follow the outlines, use Grammarly, and reach out to her during office hours, you will succeed 100%.

Super nice and easy to talk to. You will have to read a reasonable amount, nothing crazy. Some discussions in class. She gives you a good amount of freedom for the essays, but she does grade them quite tough. YOu can have her review your work before turning it in which is super helpful.

Complete stuff on time and plan ahead, read the material and get the main ideas, participate in class, and ask for feedback, that's all you need for the A.

She's a good teacher and caring, but the way she shows that is kind of tough love. I think she kind of has to chill a bit cause we are all just tryna figure it out and i always came out stress after her class. I feel like students don't have to be punished because they didnt write something perfect the first time.

Professor Bucher is a kind and caring Professor. Her grading was incredibly tough, and at times I feared if I would actually make it and get an A in her class. She provides 3 Essays for the class to do, each being around 5 pages long, each 1200 words minimum. Included within the Essays are the mandatory readings, that must be read before class.

Professor Bucher is an incredible professor. Her grading criteria are strong, and she is very accessible to see after class. During the semester, we had 3 essays with a minimum of 1200 words, 4 backpacks, 4 storytelling, etc. No quizzes and no in-class essays. The class lectures are interactive, and you must read them before class.

Professor Bucher was great to have overall for ENC 1101, 4 essays and decent amounts of homework/reading but you'll get through it if you do the work.

Wasn't the hugest fan of her but I can objectively acknowledge that she is a good teacher. Accessible for the most part and pretty understanding. Tries to incorporate creativity into her classroom at times which I can appreciate. Critiques are usually fair and constructive. She's not half bad.

DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT TAKE, you won't get max points in a single writing assignment, the max is 90, no more, most assignments you'll get between an 88 or 89. If you get late, she'll say "bad luck" and give you a 0 most of the time. You cannot negotiate your grade. She is a good person, but as a professor is tough.

She's a great professor, but a tough grader, but you can still pass her class easily. The essays are 1200 wordsand you'll have a more flexible time to complete them.
