Buckman was a wonderful prof. She made the class so interesting, it was fun to listen to her. She was very thorough, she covered everything you needed to know. I was so interested in Psychology after taking two of her classes I thought about going into that field professionally.
she made me fall in love with psychology! she is so into the subject! take notes and study them....you will ace the tests!!!!
Mrs. Buckman is an amazing teacher! The class wasn't extremely hard, but I really learned a lot and was interested in some of the topics. She's so funny and always excited. She's definitely a great teacher. :)
THis is one of the best teachers you could have!!!
She is the best professor I have ever had. She loves teaching and makes her classes very fun.
AWESOME TEACHER!! VERY FUN AND EASY!
Mrs. Buckman is an awesome professor...she loves what she does and does it well! She is always ready to help and breaks everything down to an easy to understand level..if you have the chance take her you won't regret it!! book is optional..i didn't use mine even once!
this is one of the best teachers that you can get for any psych. class, i took her twice for 2 different classes and she is awesome and her class is very interesting, you will never be bored, always soemthing fun to do
Easy class. Test comes exactly from notes.
Very easy, All the tests come from lectures. Very little studying.
Well if you want to laugh, have a GOOD time, and learn all at the same time... then any of Buckman's PSYCH courses are for you!! I have taken 3 so far, some I did not even need. I simply look forward to her classtime every day!! Who could pass up the perfect class? Really great info too!!
She is fun, always ready to help you whenever you need help on her class. She is accessible all the time. Her class is very easy because she is great in what she do best: teaching Life span. Psychology.
I took her as a fast track class for growth and devlopmental psyc. She is a great teacher, fun, keeps you interested. Don't even need to study really just take notes and listen to her lectures, tests come right from them!
Great Teacher!!! Keeps your attention. Her tests from right from her lecture notes.
Loved her!!!
This professor obviously knows her subject and her students benefit from that knowledge. As far as text book use, I would reccomend the text book because there is test material that is only mentioned in the book.
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER IVE EVER HAD BY FAR. I LOVE HER SO MUCH. SHE IS GREAT MAKES YOU WANT TO LEARN!
I took her intro to psychology class two years ago and still think of her of an ideal college professor, she may be a little kooky but I still remember the material. Go to class, try not to miss.
GREAT PROFESSOR!!!!! wasn't hard to get a good grade in her class and the tests weren't difficult. She is very in to what she does and it seems like she loves to teach! I would recommend her for any class she teaches!
Mrs. Buckman was fantastic!!! I loved taking her class. She made you want to learn about psychology. Her lectures were great. She made it very fun. Super easy!! I made an A in the class. And gave great test reviews. I never used the book. She gave great notes. She wants you to learn and wants you to enjoy it.
Mrs. Buckman teaches from the heart. Her lectures are easy to understand and to remember. Exams are straight from the lectures. She is AWESOME! You'll like psychology if you take her.
She was great, she knew what she was talking about, make sure you are in class everyday, because her lecture notes are her test!!!
Took for both intro to psych. and life span. Teacher keeps class interesting, and is very helpful. Low stress class! Highly recommend this teacher.
Mrs. Buckman is by far the best teacher I have ever had !! She makes her class soo fun and uses different teaching methods to keep you interested. She likes to do a lot of group work. And she even wrote a recommendation for me for another university. Shes great. I wish more teachers were like her !!!!
I took her for intro psychology. Her class is easy because you leave there everyday understanding the material. She goes above and beyond to teach her class. She puts forth an effort while other teachers sit and teach from a power-point. She deserves an award or a raise, probably both!!! if you want to have a good time and learn take her class
Just wanted to give you updated info - Mrs. B is the BEST. She is a master of her profession, extremely respectful, and patient. She thoroughly presents her info. Took Lifespan too. Made As. Lots of assignments, flexible due dates. She is interested in your thoughts. A must take Professor!
GREAT TEACHER! if you listen and class and go over all your notes you will get an A on every test! she makes everything very interesting and fun to learn. She is the type of teacher that if something is going to be on the test she will repeat it more than once to give you the hint.
Mrs. Buckman was a really fun teacher. I only missed class twice because i loved her class so much i didnt want to miss a lecture. her test are extrememly easy if you pay attention to her lectures. you will do fine. she is a super easy teacher. loved it and i will be taking her for life span and developement :)
Best psych teacher!! She is very funny and I always looked forward to her class. Tests and assignments are super easy. If you want to love psychology and at the same time get an A take her!!
Wonderful person and teacher!! Best decision I've ever made was taking her class! Her test are the notes she gives, so go to class! You don't need the book either. Fun and interesting class! Take her!!!!
shes an amazing teacher!! and i took her class in a mini mester and this class was the easiest out of the rest of my classes.
You must attend every class or she will deduct points. Her assignments are fairly easy except the psycholgy in the news. Turn your assignments in on time and with her their is no make-ups on the final. Her exams start off pretty easy and get harder, because of the wording-- READ THE TEST CAREFULLY!!!!!!!!!
Be in class. Not a problem because she is a great teacher. Tests on notes. Alot of little papers that are easy but turn them in on time. Test reviews are right on. Highly recommended!!!
Mrs. Buckman is amazing! At first you think shes a little over the top but you end up loving it! You remember things because of it! I enjoyed every minute of this class. I took it as a minimester. If you arent prepared to study for 2 tests a week..dont take it! Still great class!
She is wonderful, She helped me get into the Honors Society, I made an A in her class and have been making A's ever since, she gives you great ways to remember things and really teaches the class, its not alot of reading and testing, its alot of interaction! She Great!!
She is AMAZING!!! Tests are very easy, and I didn't even read the textbook. She has real life experience counseling. Because I loved her class so much, I am now taking her for all my other Psychology classes. TAKE HER CLASS!!!
I took lifespan with Mrs. Buckman this summer and she's just the greatest! I would highly recommend her for any or all Psych classes. She's very clear, lectures are organized and if you attend class regularly you will be prepared for any of her tests. I wish more teachers could be like her!
Fantastic Teacher, interesting and fun and nice and awesome! She does try to make sure everyone in the class does well and if you study you will definitely get an A.
She was such a great teacher! I actually got excited about going to class. She is hilarious and gives out candy, which I thought was pretty cool! It was also an easy A.
AWESOME teacher! Caring, thoughtful, encouraging, knowledgable, and motivating. Really great class, and would totally recommend Ms. Buckman to anyone!!
Mrs. Buckman is simply the best! Her lectures are organized and very clear. She encourages class participation & there are several critical thinking assignments which are extremely easy. There were 5 exams and 1 research paper. She knows her stuff and she truly cares about her students! I strongly recommend her, you will not regret taking her!
There is no reason not to take her. She is a great teacher. This is one of those classes where you take the test and actually know the information. Recommended for everyone.
extremely good teacher for first timers
She was great teacher. Made class interesting. Had tons of good energy. If you listen and participate its an easy A. She does a test review the class before the test, if you can write fast then write down everything she says, or record it then you will def make an A. Also her final is just another test. It's not an accumulative final.
AMAZING TEACHER! Super helpful, wants you to make an A in her class. Very energetic and fun classroom environment to be in. Teaches in several different ways to ensure everyone understands, has no problem creating fun class discussions. Tests are fact based and easy even if you haven't studied up to par. They are designed so you can pass. Awesome!
If you have to take psychology for a degree or even as an elective, TAKE her class. Keeps you interested and stays on track. BEST teacher ever. Most test answers come straight from notes of what she writes on the board so pay attention. I'm taking more of her classes as electives. Amazing teacer, we need more like her.
Best teacher! She is funny, nice, and intelligent! Class is very enjoyable to attend, and I had her at 8:30AM! Exams are super easy and always come from her notes or things she will say in class! Never a boring moment in her class! Really good teacher to take, and she cares about all of her students! Take her!
Easy Class although there are very few assignments. You get 10 critical thinkings worth 5 points, 5 tests each worth 60 points, and a 40 point paper. Always made notes easy to understand. Write down everything from powerpoints and what she says and thats what is on the tests. VERY EASY.
Best Teacher in the world! Very enthusiastic and LOVES Psychology and will make sure that when you leave, you too will love it. Take notes, because that is the test. Easy and enjoyable A. Mrs. Buckman is funny, happy, helpful, and a wonderful teacher! Her class is so interesting and she covers a lot of interesting material. Take her! You learn alot
She is absolutely an amazing professor. I recommand her for all the psychology classes. She is helpful and truly cares about your grade. She makes things fun so you can understand clearly. If you go over the powerpoints then you will be successful in any of her classes. I love Dr. Buckman, she is very encouraging. Definitely take her classes!
One of the best teachers I've ever had. She puts things in perspective. She makes you think a little bit for the answer though. The activites that you will do actually pertain to the class and yes you will use them later.
She is a great instructer! She really gets you involved, answers questions about test before the test (on test day). She explains and allows class time to talk about issues in the text. TAKE HER if you need Psychology.
Mrs. Buckman is by far the best teacher I have ever had. I can say with confidence that she does everything possible to make her classes exciting. I highly recommend her to anyone pursuing his/her education in psychology.
Mrs Buckman is a excellent teacher. She really knows what she is talking about, and her class was never boring. She does not go fast, allows time for note taking, and is helpful before exams! Take her if you can!
Awesome awesome awesome teacher! She's easy to understand, very helpful. I took General Psyc with her in the summer and am currently taking Lifespan Psyc with her now. I made an A then and currently making an A. Highly recommended!
Buckman is wonderful! She makes learning fun -- tons of laughing and having fun! Tests are completely based on notes, so go to class. Multi choice and short answer exams. Loved her Intro to Psych and LifeSpan! Take Buckman if you can! She's great!
Professor Buckman is the sweetest teacher you can have! She is super clear on her lectures. Take good notes and you will make an A in her class. If you have any problems at home she will help you! Professor Buckman really enjoys teaching, she makes class fun! Take her, you won't regret it!
Outstanding Professor. Took her for Psychology of Personality and made an A. She's awesome and very sweet. Very energetic and entertaining. Made every class day fun and always made me laugh. Easy to comprehend. Take notes and you should have no trouble passing her tests. Always reviews before tests. Often has fun class activities. Never boring.
Great teacher, makes the class very interesting. For the test I simply studied my notes and made an A
Best Professor at Lone Star. Her classes are very informative and entertaining. She's very helpful, funny, and brilliant. I wish she taught more Psych classes. I learned ALOT from her class. Study and pay attention and you will do fine.
Absolutely great teacher! I took her after reading these reviews and I'm really glad I did. Very fair and honest. If you make good notes, you don't even need the book. All her tests are multiple choice with 3-5 short essays, but really to the point. She is very clear on what she wants and she has definitively LOTS of knowledge. She is the BEST!!!
Mrs. Buckman is themost amazing professor. She is fun, very informative and hilarious. She makes you understand what she teaches by using real life examples to relate what she's teaching and always gives candy and breathing exercises before tests. She wants you to do well. FAVORITE TEACHER!
Most amazing teacher ever!! Absolutely love her!!! She gets to know each student and is willing to help you in any way she can to help you make a good grade! If you study and do the homework it is a very easy class! Highly recommend her to anyone!!!
Great teacher class was informative and fun :)
BEST PERSON IN EXISTENCE. Super passionate. Super caring. Super FUNNY. Super interesting. Easy tests. (Also, little side note: she gives you candy!) If you are a psych major, you MUST take Ms. Buckman. She's incredible. Don't waste your time taking any other professor.
LOVE MRS.BUCKMAN! She is so sweet and her class is super easy! I'd recommend her to ANYONE who needs to take Psyc 2301 or 2314. I wish I needed to take more of her classes!
awesome professor really interacts with her class. very helpful. take notes, because they are the test.
Awesome woman. She respects her students and really cares about them. Her class was fun and informative. Wish I could take more classes with her. Take her you will love it.
Dr. Buckman is hilarious. Her class is so much fun. She makes the subject interesting, even if it's not something you're interested in. If you have to take this class, make sure Karen Buckman is your teacher.
Ms. karen buckman is the best teacher i ever had. I took her late start class was worried at first but she made is so easy for everyone. she explains everything very clearly. i loved her. if you need psyc class i would highly recommend to take her. If you study it very easy to make A in her class. She also really care about her students.
I never used my textbook after the first exam. Attendance matters to your grade, and even if you are tardy she still marks points off. So show up, take notes during lecture, and copy ALL of her pptx. slides word-for-word, and simply use that to study. She goes through lecture really fast, but goes back to clarify later. HIGH energy, but loved it.
Great Teacher, always there to help and is hilarious. She made Psychology fun
I've taken 3 of her 4 classes now. All of them have been super easy. If you listen to her lectures, you will pass. She is really funny and makes everything hard to forget, even if you don't study. Wish she taught every psyc class. She cares a lot about her students. Will definitely take her last class when I get a chance.
I love Mrs. Buckman so much! I take her for all my Pysch courses since I'm a Pysch major! She is so caring about all her students and she loves what she does! Gives out candy almost every day of class as well! She is one of the best teachers I've ever had, I love her so much and can't wait to take another Pysch course with her soon!!!
She loves her job and knows how to make the learning experience fun and exciting! I've learned so much in her class and I would definitely take her again. Best professor I've ever had, hands down.
She is an awesome professor and makes you want to participate in class. She is fun and brings candy. Make sure you write down every thing she says plus power points and you will definitely pass the exams. There are some hw assignments but easy . I learned a lot in this class and I made an A. I recommend Mrs. Buckman all day.
I took Mrs. Buckman fro a summer session, and I regretted it. I wish i would've taken her for a full semester! Her class is interesting and fun!She is really funny and always brings candy to class. She does give homework, but it is easy. You don't need the book, pay attention to what she says plus power points and you'll pass. You'll love her!
I took Mrs. Buckman's General Psychology class as an 8-week course. I was expecting the class to be tough since it was rushed, but Mrs. Buckman made sure we knew our material. For exams, she does an exam review the day before. She also gives out candy on test days! Her lectures are interesting, she's hilarious, and it's an interactive class.
She is by far my favorite professor I have ever had. Do the work she assigns and study or you will not make a good grade.
Great teacher. Taught very well. Clear information.
Professor Buckman is amazing! She clearly explains and gives great examples. She teaches by PowerPoint which makes taking notes super easy. She actually teaches, not just reads off the monitor. She's fun and exciting and tells lots of stories. We even did several experiments. Taking again for 2312 Personality.
Nice teacher but gets off subject to talk about useless topics. Test are multiple choice and everything is super-easy.
she is a sweet professor, her class is adorable and so much fun. you have to work with groups and read and do homework. you will have 4 test with review sheet for each one of them. her tests are not hard but reasonable, 4 writing questions with 32 multiple choice. so she is a cool teacher and I really enjoyed with her amazing class, so chose her ;)
She is very funny, good teacher.
I learned so much from this class, and all of it was interesting. There isn't a heavy work load in this class and Professor Buckmen gives really entertaining lectures. I will definitely be looking into taking more psychology class from her in the future.
Dr. Buckman was pretty amazing. She's funny, she tells great stories that are easy to understand, too. There were these great group projects that really tested my knowledge of riddles and puzzle-solving. I don't pay very much attention in my classes, but she really held my attention. Her excitement and energy is contagious. So have fun with her!
K. Buckman is awesome! One of the best. Her lectures are so clear and she makes things easy to understand. I would recommend taking notes because it would really help you on the test. She is very relaxed about late stuff, as long as your assignments are done well. The book is not necessary to pass this class. 10/10 would take again
She's Amazing, Hilarious and passionate about psychology. there is not homework just critical thinking which are easy and fun. 2 papers, 1 is a biography about a famous psychology, 2 is a journal article report. she tells you since day one so you'll have plenty of time to do it and get extra 5 pts if you turn them early. easy exams, and take notes!
Karen Buckman is awesome. She's super sweet, very funny, and cares about her students. Definitely a fantastic choice for psychology.
Professor Buckman is very passionate about the field. She genuinely cares about her students. Her lectures are great, take notes and be there. Her tests are easy & she gives great test reviews the class before the test. I would not hesitate taking her, I highly recommend her. LOVE LOVE LOVE
Professor Buckman is an attractive mother of nature. She is an amazing lector, she loves her students very much and cares for their success. If you show up, show some enthusiasm and do the work, an A is very much possible.
My favorite tacher I have had at LoneStar. She is phenomenal at her job, if you take notes and study a bit before the exam there is a very good chance you will make an A. Her lectures are so entertaining and I looked forward to coming to this class every Mon and Wed. She repeats things that will be on the tests and her notes are very clear!
She's an alright professor, she gives out long lectures and she doesn't put the notes online. We had 5-6 tests over every chapter, one was a take home test. She gives us extra credit and she also gives us activities to do outside of class which is pretty fun. I had an early morning class and wish I would've taken a later class. & show up to class!
6 fairly easy exams, one of which is a take home test most semesters, 50 points each. 10+ critical thinkings, which are brief writing assignments, or fun quizzes, 50 points total. A Famous Psychologist Paper, where you research and write about a psychologist you claim at the start of the semester, 50 points. Attendance is 50 points total.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE DR. BUCKMAN!!!! She is crazy, but thats what makes her awesome! You definitely need to pay attention to her lectures. She repeats definitions of things that will be on the test! As far as reading the book, just read the summaries at the end of each chapter because they discuss the main things shes looking for.
Oh Karen Buckman!!! she's my most favorite professor in my entire college career! Just do the assignements and you'll be good! She is very caring and her lectures are incredible! shes the professor that makes you want to go to your 8am class! (I had her at 8:35) She makes psych very fun and captivating.
Literally the best professor I've ever had! She made the class so much fun and was always there to help with anything.
SHE'S THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAVE. Took her morning class, and It was the best. Her energy, her enthusiastic are the best. If you do all the homework and take notes you are going to be fine. She cares a lot about her students. A true angel. I LOVED HER AND LOVED HER CLASS
