Can come off unlikable but a very good professor 90% of tests are notes

Seems unlikable but is very clear in explaining things. Test are based on notes.

HE'S VERY CLEAR AND HIS EXAMS ARE STRAIGHT FROM THE NOTES.

Really great professor. This guy SERIOUSLY knows what he's talking about. Hands down BEST economics professor I had at SJU. Honestly though, in his classes what you put in is exactly what you'll get.

Wonderful professor, you will learn alot and remember what you learned. First look like he is hard but very easy.

Excellent prof. The best i've had so far @ SJU. His lectures are clear and understandable. he gives excellent notes. you know exactly what to study for test. if u take good notes, u're set. he's not that helpful, doesnt let u slide on anything.

Dr. Buechner is brilliant in his lectures and teaching style. However, he grades completely too tough. He basically wants you to state the answer (on his essay exams) the way he says it, not the textbook. Otherwise, he deducts points even if it's right.

Love the guy. He gives tests straight from the notes and his teaching style is one that allows you to remember what he actually teaches. Take him if you can. He's soo funny as well.

You actually learn in this class. Show up on time and every class and u get extra credit. You dont need a textbook, the tests are from the notes. Its like elementary school all over, he writes the notes word for word on the board, it cant get easier than that.

HE IS VERY INCITEFUL. YOU WILL ACTUALLY LEARN FROM HIS CLASS. NO NEED TO BUY ANY BOOKS. JUST SHOW UP ON TIME. TAKE HIS NOTES, STUDY THE NOTES AND YOU WILL GET A B OR BETTER. HE REVIEWS FOR EXAMS WHICH COME STR8 FROM THE NOTES. TAKE HIM!

Easiest teacher ever. Reviews the notes from previous class every day. Nobody got lower than a B in my class. Def take him for a good grade.

Dr. Buechner does not allow for creativity. If you want an A, LITERALLy regurgitate the notes. Do not buy the book for it is useless with his method of teaching. We only got through 4 chapters because his pace is turtle-slow. Dr. B gives 3 exams, 1 paper and a final. He gives review sheets for exams

His class is quite interesting even though he does pretty much lecture straight from the text. The material isnt too difficult. He runs the classroom pretty well by making sure people show up on time--which is very respectable. He is professional and a class act. Recommended

must take professor super nice and easy no need to buy the book just come everyday and write down everything he says all tests straight from his notes word for word plus get extra credit for attendance and paper plus he reviews all notes at beginning of every class so easy guaranteed B-A no lower

At first don't be scared, very easy class. Go to every class on time and study notes. Guaranteed A or B and an extra credit paper is given just in case. Very nice man just give him a chance.

Relatively easy. Very straightforward, very clear. Must show up to class everyday, note taking is a must. No HW. Tests come 100% from inclass notes. Recommended, but don't take the morning class if you can help it. Picks on you if you're falling asleep. Like I could help it at 735AM.

so straight fwd. take this class. no hw, two test and final, everything is straight from the notes, he gives good notes and goes over them twice, day he teaches lesson and the next day before he starts a new one. take him!

this should have been a class on eco but all he tested was ur ability to memorize answers..he gives u a big bank of questions (short answer/essay) before the test & chooses about 8 to answer..goes over it all in the class b4..memorize the answers and you get an A...takes off points for every little mistake..one term paper but i made it all up

Gives you the list of questions for the tests and picks a couple from it. Expects you to memorize and regurgitate every little detail. Getting an A is definitely possible by doing the extra credit and not being late/absent to class. He confuses himself a lot so use that you get back points he took off on your test! Not a bad class at all.

Super easy class! He gives u the answers! what more can u want? He's fair. Doesnt like lateness though.

I 1st had with ECO 1302 and then with 1326... Pretty easy... Show up to class and on time everyday, get 10 extra pts. and his M.C. & T/F tests come straight from his notes, word for word... He doesn't use a textbook in 1302, but in 1326 he expects you to read parts from 3-4 books (10 ?'s will be asked based upon those parts. He does give an extra credit assignment that's worth up to 25 pts. One of the easier ECO prof's...

He is a very smart man, good teacher, notes are great. But i dislike him. The way he acts makes him come off as arrogant. I don't feel that he respects us as students, he looks down upon us. I feel that he thinks he is better than us, and he makes a lot of stupid, corny jokes which don't make any sense, yet people laugh at them to suck up.

if you want to pass his test you need to memorize his notes. great professor. he make everything seems so easy. i wanted to drop him at first because there is no curve in this class but it turn out okay.

Two test and a final. You will definitely get an A if you go to his classes and take notes (or at least borrow noteS) and study your notes. He stresses the points he will test over and over, can't miss it. Also, gives you extra points for attendance even though it's not mandatory and will give extra credit paper. I definitely recommend.

a really nice professor - somewhat weird in some of his rules. half the class time is spent reviewing last class' notes. tests r strictly from what he goes over in class - no textbook. great for econ 1302 but for econ history a lot of books r required as a reading assignement n that makes it a little harder to do well on the test. otherwise easy

great professor...highly recommend taking him....I didnt really even read the readings and still got an A...just make sure u memorize his notes word for word and you'll do fine....must take

Tests are pretty easy just have to memorize his notes word for word. Takes up half the class going over last class' notes. DO NOT take him if you don't like to be called on - he calls on everyone ALL THE TIME.. overall tests are easy , no hw, if late he marks you absent.

Prof. Buechner is a good professor. His tests come straight from his notes, no textbook needed. He takes attendance every class and calls on a lot of people to answer his questions. You actually learn in this class. One of the best economics teachers - I highly recommend him.

i agree with the last comment: not a very nice guy, needs to loosen up. HOWEVER, not textbook, everything on the exams are from his notes directly. optional extra credit paper can raise the grade, but his class isn't really that hard. just prepare to deal with his attitude.

Prof. Buechner's class will require you to put in time (attend) and study, and earn your grade to the amount of effort you put in. Fair professor, intelligent man, crystal clear in his lectures, but if you want input on his attitude, think a wannabe "House". However, the good overwhelmingly surpasses the bad so I would highly recommend this class.

Buechner is alright. Once you get used to his system, it's pretty interesting. Be prepared for class, his notes are online so just follow along. The assigned books are pretty boring, but 10 questions on the test are devoted to the books. i got an A- without reading the books, but I recommend the class.

Very knowledgeble and knows his material well. Very interesting class. Easy material and he really makes it clear. Alot of readings and it's too much especially if you take 12 or more credits. If you study hard and attend at all times, then expect a good grade. I'd say B is what you should expect.

very nice and easy-going man. He doesnt give homework at all. you don't need the textbook if you attend every class because he gives the notes for whats on the test. the book is only for if you dont go to class, you could read it and understand what a topic was about. hes very helpful and tries to make you understand.

fair guy, likes teaching, take him if you want to learn. he will teach you what you need to pass and get a good grade. no surprises in his classes, what you see in lectures what you get on the tests

Old school professor. Students can't eat,talk,walk out of the class. Very knowledgeable person. Listen carefully and take notes. Exams are directly from the notes. Had 5 books to read.Not that expensive though. Gives reader's guide just answer those questions. He asks 25% questions in the exam from the readings. I liked a lot but not everyone did

I like Dr.Buechner very much. That is ture that he is a serious guy.But you can learn much knowledge in his class.The exams are based on what he write in the blackboard.You can use computer in his class. He will reveiw last class notes before begin the new class.

If you study for around 30 minutes to an hour for each test you should get an A or A- he's not here to trick you. HIs test is straight from the notes. there are no papers or homework. your grade is 100% tests. there are 3 tests. the first two out of 150 the final is out of 200.

Easy A. Lots of reading but not impossible. Just pay attention in class and you'll get an A. He's not strict, he's old fashioned. It's not that serious. I enjoyed the class.

Take notes, he says what to write down. Also offers his own notes that you can print out. Starts off class by reviewing notes from previous class. No food or drink but big deal. Laptop is ok. 3 tests and a cumulative final. If you miss a test, the percentage of that test goes to your final. just read over notes twice before test and you can get a B

I really enjoyed his class. Three tests, no homework whatsoever. He is very methodical and clear. Tests are alright. Study and you'll be fine. He teaches in a slow pace, so you do not fall behind. I recommend him

I'm a management major that took this class as my ECON elective. You need to record his lectures, take notes, and do all the extra credit you can. I played games on my laptop all class, but I went to all the extra credits, did the "optional paper" and got b+'s on all the tests. I ended up with an A in the class. Not as bad as they make it seem.

Professor Buechner's test are straight from his lectures. Pay attention and take good notes in class and you'll do very well.

Very clear with what the course will entail and grading. Offers extra credit, better take advantage. My semester the term paper was mandatory and worth 20% of our grade. This is the only complaint I have he graded this paper harshly and was not open minded.

Very respectable professor, he always gives it his best to make sure you understand. While he can be a little boring if you just pay attention and take notes the class won't be that bad. He cares about participation so speak up in class and answer questions even if your wrong!

Don't get the textbook, he doesn't use it. If you listen to his lectures you should be fine like a solid b+. His personality isn't the best however, if you didn't hear a question he refuses to repeat until like 6 other kids ask. But easy class and he gives extra credit opportunities

Be ready to participate and pay attention in class. Follow his notes but also write down anything he says that isn't in the notes because it will most likely be on the test. Study a lot for the exams. All tests are multiple choice and true false questions. Clear on what you will be graded on.

Go to class, take notes (the tests are based on his lecture notes), and you should be fine.

He's the best professor I've ever had. He tells you how to do well. DO IT. Lectures are very clear and you learn a lot of stuff from him. He gives lots of extra credit opportunities if you don't do well on the exams. 2 midterms and a final. If you pay attention and memorize his study guides you should get an A. If you are lazy dont argue.
