Great teacher!
Good teacher. Very helpful in the essays. She give about 3 essays and test the whole year.
Wonderful teacher, she is very involved with the class, My best teacher so far, taking her ENC1102 class next. Highly recommended. :)
She's an amazing teacher, very easy class. You can only miss two classes. All you do is write 4 essays and a couple quizes.
She is helpful to the fullest. She does stay in contact via email if u have questions. I had no final. a few EASY test, quizzes. no midterm(when i had her) EASY course. Just 4 eassys. Have a hard copy ready to turn in or u will get a F no exceptions. dnt miss a class either. But she is an AMAZING teacher by far.
AMAZING TEACHER! She always is available if you need her, whether by email or her office hours. Very few tests and only 4 essays to write. She does use the textbooks a lot, so I recommend getting them. Overall, she is very helpful and great at what she does. :)
Her classes are entertaining, but it is NOT a writing class. All we did was talk about popular culture...no writing exercises ever. Then, she would be really tough grading the papers. She should be teaching a different course, not writing.
Hard grader took her for 1102 passed with a B but she is a very strict grader your overall grade is based on few assignemts. if you are a good writter i recommend her. her classes are entertaining tho
Don't miss an essay because you will most probably not pass her class & she is a VERYYYY hard grader
She was a very good teacher, super helpful. She would talk to you individually if you went to her office. She was really funny and makes sure you understand. However, she is kinda stict in her grading. We mostly did essays and she looks at them meticulously. Do good on the essays or you will not pass!
She is a great professor. Very humorous during class and genuinely concerned about students success. Homework (very easy) was based on text readings &all submissions were made online through angel. A few simple 10 question exams. No midtem or final. Class was interesting. 4 challenging essays that made up most of your grade. I recommend!
This professor is very sweet and helpful all of the homework is straight forward and easy it comes for the book but dont let her easy going personality fool you she is e VERY HARD GRADER!!! she willgive you 4 throughout the whole semester worth 60 percent of your grade but if you want to learn I say take her
Nice professor but essays and research paper are never good enough for her i took her class for enc1102 i did all the works including extra credits i had an F its very hard to pass her class.
Nice personality. Takes work very seriously. Hard grader.
Incredibly hard grader...I would not recommend her.
HARD GRADER ! DIFFICULT ESSAYS THAT ARE 60% OF YOUR GRADE
Very difficult grader. I use to love writing essays until I got to her class. She gives you 2 days to submit into smart thinking and 3days to submit back to her . Too little time to submit assignments, boring lectures and hour feels like 3. Never on time !
Tough grader, unless you are perfect you will not pass with more than an B-. No matter how much effort I'd put in, in all my essays and assignments I would receive a C. If you take her revise your work more than 3 times and make sure to make it fit her criteria. Good luck....
Professor Bucher was a good teacher. I didn't really learn much at first, but definitely learned how to write good essays. I had 80-90s in all my essays and I ended up with an A in her class. Some comments I have of her would be that she is late most of the time (though she warns you to not be late) and she is a tough grader
There is no doubt about it. Prof. Bucher is a hard grader but, she does help those who are in help.
She is definitely a tough grader. However, she is interested in her students and wants everyone to pass. Also, her lectures are interesting (especially when you learn about pop culture). She's very organized and clear about everything and is always available to assist her students. She is an amazing professor and I would recommend her to anyone :)
Very hard grader. You think you did well and the highest you get is a 75. She is very helpful to her students and make class interesting. Recommend this professor.
Currently taking this class and I love it. Bucher is really cool and very interactive and friendly with the class. There hasn't been a day that I've wished I wasn't there. Grading is really tough and you'll most likely pass with a C if you miss an assignment. Lots of extra credit opportunities, no final, just a research paper and 3 essays.
She is super hard grader!! DO NOT take her. I had a 69% in the class and she couldn't give me a C. Now i have to repeat the class such a bummer
Professor Bucher was a hard grader.I took her class during the summer for 6 weeks, and she piled a lot of work into it. 3 essays, normal homework assignments, reading,and a research paper. If you are a procrastinator I advise you to choose another professor.
I got no help at all. And she gave yes unnecessary side lectures about her family which are no way pertaining t English class.
shes awsome, no midterms no finals. about 4 essays she will crealy tell you what you did wrong in the essay and talk to you about it if you go and see her. she is a hard grader.
Great professor, you will learn from her lectures. She doesn't give unnecessary work. Tons of extra credit opportunities. Is there when you need to her. Super entertaining, always has a smile, never yells. You will not waste your time in her class if you are willing to put in the effort. You will get the grade you deserve if you work for it.
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.
I worked extremely hard on homework assignments doesn't matter she a tough cookie . not given too many class assignments few to nun . books are used almost every class. give extra credit assignments advise DON'T TAKE HER CLASS .
Prof. Bucher was not an easy teacher to understand due to her human nature to forget, BUT if you do what you are supposed to do how she tells you to, you should be fine. She offers a lot of extra credit, so if you're one to fall off or can't get it right, I suggest you do your best to get those extra credits done before their due date.
Incredible professor. She isn't an easy grader, which will constantly push you to write the best papers possible. Her lectures are great and always interesting. She is exceptionally kind and will help you as much as possible as long as you respectfully approach her. Make sure you pay attention to your grammar! Overall, she is just lovely. 1010.
If, and only if you are good at the world of literature and English will professor Bucher be easy. What I enjoyed is that she has a balance. Although she is a tough grader she has a sweet spirit and is ALWAYS willing to help when you need it. She wants you to learn on your own too. Do not underestimate her kindness, or you will be in for a shock.
Professor Bucher will prepare you to write at the university level, and expect that you do so. If you're taking an honors course with her, please keep in mind that she has high expectations of you. She is not a difficult grader; she gives you the grade you deserve. If you want to pass her class, visit her in her office hours (and do your work).
Do all of your essayshomework on time and show her your essays to make sure that you're on track. Follow her format and you'll be fine. Also, make sure you do all of the extra credits. You'd be surprised how that can help your grade average at the end of the semester. Overall, she's a great professor.
Professor Bucher was amazing! I took her for both 1101 and 1102 and I really enjoyed it. She is a tough grader, but she gives amazing feedback and it really helps you improve your writing. Definitely read and participate in her class, it's pretty important. She's sweet and funny and she looks out for her students. Not an easy A, but not impossible.
Professor Bucher is probably one of my favorite teachers. Isn't an easy A but is extremely helpful and will work with you whenever you have a problem. The classes where full of laughs and participation isn't mandatory but will get you extra brownie points. Very sweet and understanding. Took her for two semesters. Do not regret it
Prof. Bucher is hands down the best ENC prof I've taken so far. Her class is an easy A if you put in the effort. She will make you work for your grade but in the end if you do what is required you will pass. Research paper required but with the way she teaches it'll be a piece of cake.
Professor Bucher is a tough cookie, but man is she the most wonderful person you are ever going to meet at MDC North Campus. Her lectures are never boring and she knows how to teach well! She might grade a little tough but it is all in order to help you improve your writing skills. She is a phenomenal teacher with a boisterious personality love her
Professor Bucher is one of the best professors at MDC North. I took her for both ENC1101 and ENC1102, and got an A in both. Yes, she is a tough grader but it's all worth it. She will teach you how to write good college papers and if you need her, she's always willing to help. If I could take her again I would without hesitation.
Professor Bucher is an excellent professor. Her class is enjoyable plus she is always willing to help with assignments. I would definitely recommend her. Her assignments are clear but she is a tough grader. You will have to put in a lot of effort if you want an A.
The teacher can be the nicest person ever, but be aware never get too comfortable in her class. One of the best things to do is to polish your writing skills before taking any of her classes. She is one of the toughest graders there will be, also, anyone with low reading and writing skills will suffer and will have to take this course again.
Would not recommend, do not take her, waste of time
Don't take her she's a tough grader
Professor Bucher is an amazing professor who truly cares about her students and is willing to work with you with her open office hours. Her class is intermediately hard and does challenge you to think deeply about topics below the surface. Would highly recommend students to take her.
Definitely a tough grader. Had 3 papers to write, would've been4 had it not been for the hurricane. I must say she is very helpful and if your willing to learn she will make sure you do. Gives good feedback and make sure your ready to participate in class. It's mandatory.
I had Professor Bucher for ENC1101, IDH, & LIT2480, all honors, and passed all classes with an A. Shes an amazing professor & cares about each and every one of her students. I would probably take another English class just to have her as a professor again. Definitely take this professor at least once! Shes super sweet & approachable.
Professor Bucher is a tough grader. But she does this to push you beyond your abilities. I can honestly say that through her class, my writing has significantly improved.
Real tough but worth it because you actually learn. She cares a lot for her students and makes class super fun. 3 essays, 1 research paper and some quizzes online(but super easy).
Professor Bucher is actually really great and works with you to help you through each class no matter what class you have her for.
Professor Bucher has been one of those few professors that I have ran into in college that actually cares about you and how you are doing in the class. She is extremely accesible outside of class and will work with you through any concern that you have. She is an amazing professor and I took her for ENC 1101 and ENC 1102 and passed with As.
Today was my last day with her & I'm honestly sad about it. I've never had a professor really involve themselves, students & their interests in a class before. She made the class fun and she interacted with everyone. It was a lot of work, given it was a 6 week class, but as long as you read and discussed in class, it's an easy A.
A class with Prof. Bucher is a top-notch experience. She adds to reasons why MDC's English Dept is stellar. Your writing can improve in a major way, serving you in the larger picture. She cares and has interesting, carefully crafted lectures. Unique professor. Don't leave MDC without taking 1 class with her. Her teaching methods are very effective
So Professor Bucher class was so much fun to take. A whole course dedicated to Harry Potter. Not only is she hilarious she enjoys and encourages participation. Be prepared for her final paper though! That was a tough one! But luckily she guides you through it step by step and is very lenient
She is the worst professor ive had. Shes bad at her job. She is also a terrible person and doesnt care about her students unless she likes you. Do not take her class you will regret it.
Shes the worst thats all i have to say
She is the worst do not take her
Please do not go by these awesome reviews she's very respectful and is nice but she isn't on top of her grading and is always late grading things she expects you to write as if you are a yale grad student she does not see you trying even when you know you are trying. just please pray i pass her course she's a really tough professor smh
she's a sweetheart always try to make the class laugh but as far her teaching is irrelevant to enc1102 course and her grading is horribly if you are a english major go ahead if you struggle with writing than her class is not for you someone like her supervisor should tell her about her grading and teaching. overall she was an okay professor
This teacher expects wayyyy too much from you expects you to write like a Harvard student shes a very tough grader and her grading makes no sense. Shes super nice and all but her class was way too much for an ENC1102
Never again
Enc1102 is writing essays and how to do your final research paper i have never really struggle with english because i know for myself i'm a good writer. she made this class difficult than it is i don't advise anyone to take her please save your money. she's nice and teaches well but pop culture was irrelevant i pass the class by the grace of god
You have to do 2 essays , 1 outline 1 bibliography , 1 proposal , and your final paper there isn't no final exam overall this class was boring and was hard. after all i'm glad i do not have to see her nor take english again. she just a tough grader nothing was perfect for her I received a B when i know i deserved an A my papers were pretty good!!!
I suggest no one take this professor, shes a terrible grader expects way too much makes the class very difficult for no reason also she has favoritism in the class, trust me if you dont talk she wont pass you, dont waste your money on this teacher she also writes her own reviews its ridiculous
She made this class difficult for no reason all those good comments are false please save your time and money i passed this course with an B my papers weren't good enough she would grade them by points and i worked my take off to finish this class. do not even think about picking her please save your time and money.
She is very accessible to everyone in her class. She has very good lectures, and is not boring. Her sense of humor makes her relatable. You will learn how to write taking her class. The essay rubrics can be challenging, but if you apply yourself, and put time into your work, you will pass her class.
She was inconsistent with due dates. Not clear with what she wants on essays. Gives deadlines that are not fair.
Although she is a tough grader, the class is not boring. She makes you write four papers and expects a lot from students. Sometimes she gives extra credit which can help your grade. Participation counts, she will ask you a question if she sees youre not participating, but overall she is fair and will try to help you if she sees you struggling.
She is by far the only professor I know that makes ENC 1102 so hard for absolutely no reason. Her teaching style sucks, she teaches irrelevant things and jump from one topic to another where your not able to keep up or understand. Nothing is ever good enough for her. She has a lot of favoritism and it shows. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!
I think professor Bucher is an overall caring and good professor, I was honestly surprised to read some of these reviews as my class had an amazing experience with her - Her lectures are fun and entertaining and she's very understanding and ready to help, she might take a bit of time to grade your assignments but i learnt a lot in her class
Professor Bucher is a nice individual but by far the MOST unaccommodating professor i've ever had at MDC. Even in online class during a pandemic she consistently assigned tons and tons of meticulous busy work and refused to accept late work. She demands perfection from her students and you will see your grade drop otherwise. Don't take this class.
Professor Bucher was very good. I took her for my final class and despite it being a pandemic, I didn't find it to be any more difficult than any other 2000 level English class. The only people who didn't have A's either had never done any of the reading or didn't double check their grammar or participate. Pay attention, speak up, and you've got it
Gives you lots of work but if you do the assignments right, it an easy A.
Expects perfection but provides vague instructions, slight mistakes can lead to massive grade drop. The online class was a nightmare to navigate and contacting her was even harder.
She is amazing. I go to a different college now but I still come back around to ask for her help on papers. She's caring and very inspiring. You will be a better writer after this class
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.
such an incredible person but way too tough on grades.
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%.
Amazing professor was very understanding and believes in hard work
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.
