awesome professor very clear understanding of the subject. always take notes everything she says is on the exams. recommend her to everyone best professor i've had so far. :)
Great professor. You have to pay attention to everything she says during her lectures. She tells you what's going to be on the test, but I recommend you to still read the chapters. The textbook is mandatory so please make sure you purchase it ASAP. I'm not interested in government one bit and I still managed to get a "B" Take HER!
Great Professor! Reconsidering my major after this course! Should be listed as Top 5 Professors at MDC. She's really clear about everything, and funny with her way of teaching. Really gets students who would otherwise be uninterested to pay attention to her lectures. Assignments are hands on, she tries to avoid Tests and replace them with Debates.
I took her class the semester she moved to Miami. I really didn't know what to expect, but I was happily surprised. She is an excellent professor with a clear way of explaining the material. Textbook is a must! Don't be late for her class or she will call you out on it. Missing class will put you behind, so attend! Easy if you study! Easy A!
Great teacher, great person... She even has a facebook page, and she gives you extra credit points if you answer the questions she puts there......TAke her!!! 3 tests, no final and a project
She's an awesome professor!! I NEVER liked social studies before this class; she makes everything so interesting I would actually look forward to what she was going to be teaching. You need to pay attention to everything and take a lot of notes cuz you will deff need to look back on them. You need to buy the textbook. I really recommend her :}
If you dont take this prof you will fail with any other prof....she is the best! the easiest...and you learn the material and you still feel like you are slacking off. Her classes are great! TAKE THIS PROF! YOU MIGT EVEN CHANGE MAJOR AFTER BEING IN ONE OR TWO CLASSES WITH HER!
Her activities are really interesting! I also enjoyed the project about the african countries! Her class is easy to pass! However, You need to STUDY HARD for her tests! Also, do every extra credit if you want an A!
Awesome professor. She will make you think.
I really enjoyed her class. The only grades were 4 tests and one group project about 3rd world countries in which you come up with solutions for their problems. You can tell she enjoys this subject. She's always saying little factoids which I found interesting. I definitely recommend her. Don't miss class. Don't leave early, she'll mark you absent.
Great Professor!!! a lot of work to do for her classes but I'm not complaining because it helped me understand the subject matter better. I took her for 3 classes and all I can say is that she is the best Political Science Teacher at Miami Dade College. She loves the subject and loves her students. I still come to her for advice!!
Awesome professor. She is passionate about the subject, class and her students. She has two main pet peeves. 1)Tardiness 2)Texting. Be engaged and do the work honestly to get a good grade. Taking a second class with her.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! BEST CLASS EVER! YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER. You will work hard but have fun in the process. I learned so much.
Honestly one of the best professors at MDC. Everyone should take a class with her. Cares about her students. Knows what she's talking about.
American Federal Government was fun with her. takes interest in everyones personal effort, and strives to be as clear and entertaining as possible. If you just study a bit and pay attention in class you should do fine.
Great prof. but her online class is not recommended at all. I think American history should be taken in class and not online.
Very helpful and understanding. Took her online class over the summer and she really tries with her students.
i don't know who said she is is the best professor ever! in my opinion she is the worst i have ever taken in my life. she gives a lot of work but that is useless cause she always criticizes your work and gives you bad grades. i never dropped a class before but now i am thinking about it. this was supossed to be my last semester! damn she sucks!!
Best professor ever, the class is hard but she pushes you to do well. She won't give you all the answers and won't grade easy but if you ask for help she will give it. Attend class every day, participate and you will only need the book for the 2 exams.
This class is pretty much lectures no work or assignments. Take good notes. test are what she lectures, study and its easy. One project at the end of semester that is really easy. Shes a cool person and cares about her students, she clear and understanding
Tough class but so totally worth it.
I took this class both online and on campus and will agree that there is a lot more work online. It's necessary though. She is a great teacher and I would recommend her to everyone.
very good professor. had her for local and state gov and american fed gov. encourages group discussions
She's a very good teacher she lectures all class so you must be a good note taker complete & study all of her study guides and you will pass the tests & there is also a group project I passed with an A
Took class online & it's a LOT of work! Modules contain 4 chapters & she only gives 1 test for the whole module, not individual tests & NO test guide. The test is available only on a Friday to Sunday. She's inflexible if you miss it, not very helpful & doesn't really care, even if you are an A student! She finishes a week before finals begin!
She is good professor, but the classs is hard !!!!!!!, you need to study for the test. I Took online INR2002 and we have for every chapter 1 test, one attemp and the answers are from the book. We had one big projet. I don't like her, If you want an A don't take herrrrrrrrrrr
I learned a lot in this class and it was very challenging. She responds to emails and questions very quickly and is nice. I would take her again if I wasn't graduating.
best professor ive ever had at dade. I have had her for both POS2041 AND INR2002 and i am taking social probles with her next semester
if you're in school to learn abt something then take her. if you're here just for an easy A then she's not the professor for that. her papers, her topics and evrythng she basically throws at the students taking specifically this class is so hard but it is what made it so interesting for me. she makes you analyse n think of things you nvr thought of
This professor expects a lot out of her students, and will not tolerate half effort. Her syllabus will be your Bible for that class, live by it! Everything you need to know about the course and doing well is in there! If you're having trouble with something -- go visit her in her office, she's very approachable helpful.
SHES IS EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND YOUR LEARN TONS FROM HER AS SHE HAS A PHD IN GOVERN POLITICS AND LOVES TO TEACH. SHE IS A BIT IMPATIENT AND IS NOT ASHAMED TO CALL OUT HER STUDENTS ON STUPID QUESTIONS AND TARDINESS. HER TESTS ARE HARD SO STUDY ANY TIME YOU CAN.SHE GIVES EXTRA CREDIT WHEN SHE WANTS SO DONT COUNT ON IT. BUT I DID LEARN ALOT.
She's very intelligent & obviously love educating her students. Her jokes are cheesy but other then that she's pretty cool. She's sarcastic but in a harmless way. Sometimes her lessons are not clear or she goes completely off topic, not a bad prof but if you're going to take her class I HIGHLY recommend you bring a tape recorder, that'll help you
She is a great professor. She lectures for 4 tests and also assigns a group project. She gives the class study guides before each test. You do need to study from the book a little bit and give max. effort to the project. Overall, her class was easy and awesome.
Shes really strict about attendance but shes really nice, and helps you out when you need it. Even though she goes over the chapter READ THE BOOK. Take great notes and youll be fine.
She is a great professor. Yes, you do need to study for her tests. Her tests are not easy at all, but it's not impossible to get a decent grade on them. She gives great lectures but study the book anyway, notes will not be enough. She gave my class a lot of extra credit cause she liked us. Good luck!
I enjoyed taking this class. As long as you're a good note taker you don't really need the book so save your money. Tests are a little challenging but nothing extreme. Overall great professor! Loved her sarcasm.
My favorite professor at dade. She's straight and to the point, take notes and pay attention. Her tests are all about memorization. Makes material interesting and enjoyable. Recommend!
Seriously horrible teacher.. I have never had a teacher like her. She isn't helpful, she's rude and does not care about anyone but the people she likes. Her tests are EXTREMELY hard and she does not give you the answers to the review before and she does not tell you or give you clues as what to write down in her BORING lectures!! DO NOT TAKE!
Great teacher and great class. Pay attention and take good notes and study hard before the test and you'll get a good grade.
GREAT TEACHER! Must take really good notes and NEVER miss a class or you'll be way behind. test are pretty easy if you study and there is a group project. I really enjoyed her class and learned a lot!!
This semester I took all online classes. I seriously have trouble showing up to classes due to my hectic schedule. If you're like me and like managing your own school hours to be doing work and turning in assignments... this class is perfect. She is straight to the point, assignments and tests are on the calendar. Plenty of time to complete. Trust
POS 2041? TAKE HER. TRUST.
This professor seemed highly self-important. She has a very strict demands for her students, in other words she wants them online for a long time, even if they do not do any work there. She does not care if you are reading a textbook for the course, or if you have other classes to take. She will drop you from the course as soon as she can!
I received 60 on my first two essays with a note from her that I used minimal effort. I emailed her to ask her to please elaborate as to why after following all assignment instructions and meeting all requirements did I receive such a poor grade. Her answer was that meeting the minimum requirements results in a minimum grade. RIDICULOUS
She lays out assignment requirements and then gives poor grades for simply meeting requirements. Her response is "simply meeting requirements earns you barely passing grade". She rudely refers you to syllabus when questions are asked, then does not follow said syllabus. It says tests are open Wed-Sun. I work Fri-Sun. Last test was not open til Fri.
I'll be surprised if anyone passed this online class... it is pretty darn hard! I had to study VERY VERY hard to be able to pass and that's taking two other classes. She's pretty much a tough grader when it comes to the essays and if you miss a question on an y of the assignment there's no going back to fix it. I'm just glad I passed.
Great professor. Yes she is hard as others have said but this is college. It is supposed to be hard. I also took her on campus and she is great. Many comments seem to refer to online courses which I do not know about. From what I have heard all online classes require more busy work so stop complaining.
I am a very easy going person and I respect everyone, sadly this professor lost all of my respect. She is rude and she is very disorganized. All she does is give straight lecture with no notes or cues as to what we need to write down. She only likes specific people and if she doesn't like you she is rude and disrespectful. DON'T TAKE HER!!!
she is the worst prof at MDC . she only like specific people and those who share her same ideology , if you think different then drop because you will no like her . She just read from her notes and thats it . AVOID HER !!
no easy class
class is based on simulation, prepare to not learn . you will lost your time . You will not learn anything
she is not a good professor , she only seat and talk . she knows the material but she want you to think like her and to share her same ideology and if your have another opinion then you ruined . not a neutral professor . NO A GOOD PROF.
I really enjoyed this class. I worked hard and I did well. The criticisms leveled against Dr Buehler here are completely mystifying to me. It's not the easiest course, but she is more than fair in her grading. The students complaining here might want to reevaluate whether college is right for them. Basic attention to spelling/grammar may also help.
LOVE HER. Amazing lectures. Presents material clearly. Not an easy class, but definitely manageable. 4 tests and one group project. Would take her again!!
Class is based on active participation. The simulations are engaging and fun but tough. The previous comments seem to be from people that want the easy path in college. GROW UP!
Good mix of discussion and lecture. You need to do your research when doing the simulations unless you will be lost.
This is a tough topic but the class is great. Active participation is the fun part of the class and you get to know your classmates.
Good class. You can tell she tries and cares for her students. Not my favorite topic but she made it enjoyable.
Dr. Buehler completely changed my perception of government during the course of this semester. She is knowledgable and gives lectures in a manner that makes you want to listen. I am a highly dedicated student, and i found her tests pretty challenging but i liked that. Do not take her if you want to slack off, her class takes work but it is worth it
I am not even a government major and Im studying biology but I actually like this class and professor. She is opinionated but she is talking about politics so it seems necessary. Plus students ask her for her opinion.
A rare class. You see how beautifully messed up the world is.. Take it.
Dr. B was the most inspiring and passionate professor I've ever had. I went in to the class terrified because I know it is usually a difficult topic but I have not had one regret. Although it was a tough class I would the class again in a heart beat. Definitely the highlight of my semester. Probably the best professor I've ever had.
I will miss this class. Politics is a subject that I did not know much about but Dr. Buehler helped me appreciate it. I cannot say enough about her as a professor and person.
We will either love her or not because she gets to the point and doesn't let you slide. My recommendation is don't slide because you should take at least one class with her. You will work (and by that I mean think).
She's fantastic. Don't mess around in class, participate in the simulations and lectures, study for the tests and you'll be fine. She's super understanding too, and really tries to help out and she totally appreciates her students. Would 100% recommend taking her.
She's awesome. This was one of my hardest classes, but I truly learned. She's incredibly understanding and kind, but don't think that means you can slack off; Work for your grade and participate as much as you can (most of all in simulations). Do not procrastinate on the essay, keep up to date with the news if you can. read the textbook, and enjoy.
Horrible class!!!!!
Fun discussions. Great professor. If you student and ask questions, you will do well.
This was my first class with Dr. Buehler and I would honestly take any class with her. You do need to study but I learned a lot from her.
This class totally changed how I look at things. Take notes. Ask questions. Participate during simulations.
Dr Buehler is da bomb. She cares about her students and wants to know what you think about the issues. Not my major but I still enjoyed the class.
I took Dr. Buehler for INR and I can honestly say she is a great professor, there is no doubt she is a genius in her field. She is very personable and always leaves you thinking. Her class is difficult, she expects you to produce good work and go beyond "simply meeting the requirements," but it is worth it. Study and you will pass!
I never took a class like this before where the entire class is discussion based. I really got to know my classmates and the professor. I felt like my opinion mattered and grew to understand and appreciate history and European politics.
Took Am Govt online with Dr. Buehler and the class is very straightforward and engaging, which is unusual for an online class. As long as you dont miss deadlines, you will do well. One proctored exam, three other exams, chapter quizzes and a couple of essays.
All around a good teacher and person. Her lectures are engaging with the students and very funny. Makes you want to show up to her classes. She's very layback to the point if you show commitment you will get a good grade. If you need help she will help you. Also she responds quickly to emails. 4 test, 1 group project as the final EZ
Go to class and participate in the in class discussions as well as on blackboard. Study for the test and you should pass. If you slack, you will most likely fail.
I had this professor for an 8 AM class and i LOVED this class so much i didn't mind waking up early and going to class. Class discussion are the BEST! She's super funny and an overall great person to talk to. She's very inspiring, one of the best professors I have had in my 2 years at MDC. Took her for summer term, wished it had lasted longer. :(
Awesome class!!
Great Professor, you won't regret taking one of her classes!
She is awesome take her
I had Prof Buehler for POS INR & CPO and I've learned nothing. I recently transferred to a liberal arts university and I've learned more about PS in two weeks in one class then I did in two years with her. All she does is sit down in her chair and let the students guide the class. Sad she's the only PS prof at Dade.
This class was more then I thought it would be. We talked a lot about current events, history and theory. The simulations and debates were the best part. I would take another class like this again in a heartbeat.
I dont think this is an easy class to teach given what is happening in our country right now but Dr. B makes it work.
I fell deeper in love with my major, IR, after taking this class. Dr. B really gets you out of your comfort zone and helps you to understand the world as more of what you've just grown up being taught. Her papers kicked my butt, the prompts were brutal and complicated, but she gave me A's on all of them and it was such a satisfying accomplishment.
she's rude, unapproachable for being a teacher, and her tests....... good luck.
Dr. B changed my life. I was working 2 jobs and living out of my car and stopped going to class. She called me and asked to meet with her and I did. I told her what was going on and she said that I wasnt alone and come back to class. She helped me find a place to live, a better job and helped get me back on track. I wouldnt be where I am today.
This was the class I was dreading this semester but then I met Dr. B. Very generous with her time. Funny. Cool t shirts. And we talked about real life things.
I have never taken a class like this before and I will probably never have one like this again. I think everyone should take a class with Dr. Buehler, especially one like this. I got to know my classmates through all of the class discussions and simulations. I am going to miss this class.
No sure about the hate in the last comment about Professor Buehler. She is very encouraging and understanding. As for her favorites show that you care. Thats it. Its not hard to like her or her classes.
She is not that good as the rates are . If you dont share her same ideology you are fck . She selects her favorites if you are not part of list you should drop . I took her for two classes bc the rate were "goods'" but in reality she is not that good . Avoid her if you have the option .
I took this class online and it was what I expected.
I love her. I love how she gets you thinking about everything from money trails to something that happened a century ago like you would not believe how we went from Z to A so quickly! We had a paper, 2 simulations, and 2 exams. Learn your vocabulary, be good at research, and vocal about your opinions. It's cake. P.S. Be a problem solver.
Takes forever to replay to emails. Tough essays grader. She said our 3 essay will replace our midterm grade and didnt do it. Quizzes almost every week
I loved this class. I love this professor. I didnt initially want to take this class but am so glad that I did!
Doctor Buehler is a special one. Dont get me wrong at the beginning I didnt care, but shes one to care about her students and she sees that you are worth it shell help you. She is tough, you cant get there late not even 3 min, she cares the most, about participation, youll have to talk. Other than that 1 or 2 papers. 1 or 2 test.
She is a tough grader, rude and unapproachable for a professor.
I never took a class like this and never will again. Fun. Tough. Lots of discussion. Learn alot about Europe.
You feel comfortable talking about controversial topics in this class which I think is difficult to do. Dr Buehler encourages everyone to speak there mind no matter the perspective. It is nice to be able to do this.
She is not your typical professor because she actually wants to know what you think. You have to think for yourself. I have never talked in a class as much as I did because I really wanted to.
I didnt want to take this class but it was required. Very glad I randomly chose this class because Dr Buehler is great. 4 tests, project. Good talks in class.
Shes not a good professor. A good professor would remain neutral to opinion.
This is an unexpected gem of a class. You really have to form your own opinions verbally and written. Take this class.
Very straightforward class structure. Chapter quizzes, a couple short essays and tests. She responded to emails in a day or 2.
I wad able to meet w Dr Buehler early in the semester because I felt lost. She made time for me each week and helped me to get comfortable with the material. This gave me confidence since I transferred to FIU this semester. Take the time to talk to her and you will see.
This class and professor helped me find the courage to change my major from bio to political science. She challenges you to think for yourself.
Love this class and professor. It was blended so we met once a week. Chapter quizzes, tests are online. One paper. I really liked our discussions too.
Dr. B is a great professor. Please take her class and also if you are going to take her PARTICIPATION is the most important thing for her. Also if you need help for another class or a project she will be happy to help out.
She's an amazing professor, and responds to all your emails the next day. There are three essays you do, a Pre-Test and Test. Overall this class was educational and fun. By far my favorite class in a very long time. I recommend taking her class - I did mine virtually due to work; everything went well. Thanks again professor.
take her. She is a good professor. Easy to learn in her class.
I changed my major to political science because of this class. The class was comfortable and I found myself engaged with the topics and my classmates.
Let me start by saying that I am a nursing major. Bio is my thing, not politics. But wow. This class is my favorite that I have taken at MDC. The simulations were intense and fun. I can honestly say that this experience has shifted how I see society and the world.
A true gem of a professor, extremely personable and truly loves teaching which makes students happy to learn from her. She is not a fan of tardiness/absences so try to avoid that, but if their is an emergency talk to her and you're good. This is a difficult class and requires your best but is also my favorite to date, which speaks highly of Dr. B.
This was the hardest class Ive taken at dade but Ive never felt more accomplished when it was over. If youre not a huge talker take advantage during your group time to talk and always do all the discussions online. Dont be afraid of her or others in class just work hard and youll get an A.
I took Dr. B for INR2002 & CPO2100. I've never worked so hard for a class & felt so rewarded and accomplished at the end of the semester. You HAVE to talk in this class. 1 paper and 1 midterm paper. No tests. 2 simulations. Do your research for the simulations & write on the discussion board! I'd take another class with her if I wasn't graduating
Only professor I've ever had that never gives feedback on work but easily gives out bad grades. I wouldn't recommend this professor. The due dates are also a mess, why not have it all due on the same day?
I just finished a 6 week session of this course and I cannot speak more highly of Dr. B. I learned to speak my opinions on controversial political topics and now understand a bit more why the world is the way that it is. Participation does matter but there are lots of opportunities. This is by far my favorite class ever.
I am an International Relations graduate , i took her for two classes ; she is the worst professor I had
A lot of homework and quizzes BUT this isnt a surprise as she does teach a heavy subject. However, she makes it as easily as possible and replies back very quickly if you need help. I took her online for POS and for INR throughout different semesters and if I was able to Id take her again. Made everything very easy and shes a very nice person
She is the worst Professor I have ever had. I took an online class with her. Useless.
Youll either love her or not. She doesnt mince words and challenges you to think outside the box. I would take her class anytime though.
She is not accessible at all outside of class. Never replied to my emails at that point it was blatant disrespect. Just AWFUL. I have never hated a class more in my life. Do not take her class especially if you're unsure of it. Save yourself the time and stress.
Took this class online, there's 4 modules each has 4 chapters except the last one. modules consist of 4 chapters, quiz for each chapter, 1 pretest and test(two chances), for module two the test is proctored . 2 MANDATORY ESSAYS if you do well on both you don't need to do the 3rd one. tough grader for essays. grades like an English prof....
the good comments are far from the truth. The reality of it is she lectures for the beginning of the semester, and for the rest of the semester you teach yourself. I will say, it was cool to a certain extent to interact as countries trying to make each other come to an agreement but it sucks if you have anxiety. she's unapproachable for a professor
Shes def not for everyone and I was one of those, she does way too many discussion assignments and takes those simulations way too serious. Personally made me not enjoy that class at all, rather take chem again than this.
She is the best. Classes are based on lecture and simulations and it is really cool to get to know your classmates that way. Lecture is easy because the topics are things we live with or we have studied. She changes your life and your way to look at things. If you have the opportunity to take her, do not miss it.
AMAZING professor. Very intriguing lectures that make you look at the world in different ways. Didn't think I would be comfortable in simulations, but Dr. B does an amazing job at making everyone comfortable, and it was a really good experience. Easiest professor to contact outside of class. Responds in minutes usually.
Tests are online, quizzes are extra credit and you can find the answers easily. One book report on a book you chose at the beginning of the semester from a list of books she provides. Does a simulation where you pick a person and discuss topics the class choses. In class participation is important, and online discussions are easy but annoying.
I never took harder class. It was the the most challenging thing, but i never felt more accomplished after I received an A. You are teaching yourself, you do tons of research but as soon as you really get into it and you stay on the track, you can make it. Participation and talking in the class is crucial. Very inspirational, I would go for it.
avoid her !!!
I took Prof Buehler online for government and she is amazing! She cares and also makes sure she is very clear with her assignments. She responds quickly to e-mails and has good feedback! I would definitely recommend her, especially if you need to take this class online!
I love her classes we participated a lot she doesnt lecture or use a PowerPoint which I loved. Essays are easy, make sure you do your reading and you will pass. No test, she gives extra credit and final exam is optional.
I took Prof. Buehler for both American Gov. and International Relations and hands down great teacher. Prof. Buehler made both courses very easy, I took both of them online and the work load was not over bearing. Class participation is a big part of your grade but honestly if you keep up with all the assignments, you'll pass.
Dr. B is GREAT. I'm so happy I got to meet such an amazing professor. She is passionate about the subject as well as her students. She tries to help you in any way she possibly can. Take her, you won't regret it.
If I could take all of my classes with her, I would. Gets to the point and doesnt waste time. Someone said she is leftist? That wasnt my experience and I am conservative.
Professor Buehler knows what she is talking about. She is very respected and respectful towards others and their opinions. She gives good lectures and allows the class to participate which brings the subject to life. She makes the class do simulations and they are a little demanding, but if you try your best and show interest you will do well.
She is one of the few professor at MDC that genuinely cares about her students. Her teaching style is not for everyone but youll get used to it. Just pay attention, come to class and participate and youll get an A.
Although I only took this class because it was a requirement, I discovered that I enjoyed it. Dr. Buehler was very fair and generous with assignments. She responded quickly to emails and genuinely cares about her students well-being! She offers extra credit and her assignments were easy to complete.
Mini-term, so super quick and simple class. Very straight forward, follows the book and doesn't dive too deep into anything. A few short essays that were painless. Generally an overview of US government. Teacher was funny and pleasant over email blasts, but otherwise I had no need to converse with her. You can work ahead in this class.
If you genuinely want to learn and get better this will be a great chance to do so. She will teach you how to have better arguments and opinions based on facts. The grade you receive will reflect your progress. We receive d extra credit try to do all of them if you can. She is really supportive and if you meet her halfway you are set.
She always sends us weekly messages and appears to be very caring. Her assignments are very interesting and she has given us lots of opportunities to fix our grade through adding more discussion board posts and three extra credit assignments. There are also many ways to study for the final. She's great and seems caring.
I took this in Spring 2020, the class was okay. She wouldn't lecture, what was mostly spoken about was relevant issues related to politics. 4 exams and extra credit quizzes, and 1 book report. The debates were very tedious, so make sure to participate. NEVER use your phone and never speak or lose focus when she's speaking, she will lose it.
A lot of discussion board assignments and a book report. Gives good feedback on graded assignments on how to improve for next time. Gave multiple extra credit opportunities throughout semester.
You do most of the work on your own using the textbook. There is a quiz per chapter and a test per module (4 modules), but they are super easy and the questions of the test are the same as the quizzes. The only tough thing about this class was a 5 pages book review worth 20%, but everything else was fairly easy. Responds quickly to emails.
Shes very organized and gives a lot of test and quizzes but they are extremely easy. The midterm is proctored but the final is not. You have to complete some essays but they arent hard as long as you do your work you will pass. However she is a tough grader and does not give an explanation for the grade but other than that I would recommend!
PROFESSOR BUEHLER IS AMAZING! I TOOK HER COURSE(AMERICAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, FALL, 2020) AND PASSED WITH AN A+. THE WORKLOAD IS A BIT HEAVY BUT MORE WRITING THAN ANYTHING, HOWEVER, NONE OF IT IS HARD AND PRETTY MUCH DOABLE, REALLY EASY!! SHE IS UNDERSTANDING AND WANTS ALL HER STUDENTS TO PASS, SHE WORKS WITH YOU. DO YOUR PART AND SHE WILL DO HERS!
Dont bother taking this class. Its a waste of time and she's so judgemental. Awful professor.
Class is very straightforward. Extra credit opportunities. Do the work. Get the grade.
Dr. Buehler is by far the best professor I have ever had and taking her class has brought out the very best in me. This class isn't easy, it is challenging but not because of the work, (she could not have been more organized and understanding) but because it makes you step out of your comfort zone and genuinely GROW. She is absolutely amazing;
I was withdrawn from this course because I missed several classes while having COVID-19. Professor is not understanding at all but is extremely responsive as I had an "email war" with her. At the end of the day, I was glad that she had dropped me because next semester I got an easier professor who was extremely understanding. Class is whatever.
The professor overall is straight to the point. You must do good in the discussions as it can affect your overall grade. Every discussion is 200 words and she makes you respond to 4 classmate with 200 words each. Again, responding to classmates counts as your grade and the professor is a tough grader.
Class is an easy A. It is mostly simple busy work, but there is a lot of it. 4 Discussions with 3, 200 word responses each. 3 essays and a ton of quizzes. Quizlet helps a ton for the quizzes. The midterm is also simple and VERY similar to the midterm review. Just follow her instructions and you will get an A.
I am about to receive my AA and Ive seen my fair share of professors at MDC, but Dr. B goes above and beyond all others. I have never had someone who so effectively blends the qualities of being caring, knowledgeable, and a good professor at the same time. A must-have for any poli-sci or international relations majoryou wont regret it.
This professor treats you like an adult and she is super understanding. However, her class is just solo work. You have to read the textbook to pass the quizzes and exams because they're a bit hard. For the discussion boards you have to do research and answer in more than 200 words. Then in class it's just a discussion of current events.
She is a good professor, but there is a lot of work. There is a chapter quiz for each chaoter (15 total), 4 tests, and two big projects. However, the quizzes and tests are not hard if you read the textbook and the projects are definitely doable as well, they are simple. She does not teach in class though, if you want to learn you must read the boo
Outwardly caring but will not help you if you ask. I had an email war back and fourth asking her what I could improve for a discussion board. Then she sent out a mass email not to email her about grades and stopped responding. Other then that incident she was ok. You mainly talk about current events and the conversations are cool if you follow news
As a PoliSci major this class almost made me quit. Dr.B's class & its structure isn't for everyone. There's an entire role play aspect to it, and as a textbook & test person this was very difficult. The discussion boards, memo, and midterm are do-able but time consuming and she is very picky when grading. She plays favorites and can be rude.
Prof Buehler!!! Was by far the most notable professor I have ever had in my entire college experience. Her simulations are extremely interesting (if you are lucky enough to have a class that participates). I loved attending her classes, she was an amazing lecturer and very understanding. She knows the good students, oh & don't use your phone! :)
Her class consists of talking abt current events, the work is discussion boards weekly 1 init 3 responses. 200 words all, use sources. Quizzes, exams all chapters. 3 simulations that you need discu and participation. You also get participation grade every 1-2 weeks. Her class is chill but a lot of work if u take her dont do it w other hard classes
She's a good professor her class is mostly participation- discussion boards 200 words and 1 initial and 2 responses for all chapters and then 3 more extra. 4 case studies and simulations participation is important. And lastly, 1 final exam similar to the case studies but longer.
I have taken Ms. Buehler before so that says a lot. This class contains four exams final is proctored and 5-7 page essay with over 20 sources to cite about the topic. She seems extremely thoughtful, stating in the syllabus no late work is accepted but changed some due dates. She will make you do 200+ word responses to 4 or more of your classmates.
This class was the most stressful that i have taken but i made it work. There are assigned readings but i found them unnecessary. Take Buehler only if you have to.
A lot of writing and she doesn't fool around with grading, no slacking on this one. If you're into politics and debate, you'll like it and enjoy her lectures, if not you won't do well
She would sometimes come off as passive aggressive. When a student would ask a question to something they missed about what she just taught in class, she would say "were you not just listening?". She would make snarky remarks at things her students would say or ask. Her class consisted of her just talking about problems going on in the world.
My experience after taking many online classes is, this is the toughest professor ever. You can write the best essays but the max you get 90%, be prepared to write 4 discussion boards and comment 3 other students discussions (200 words) way too much writing. You better do well in the quizzes, otherwise you will get a B at the most.
This course is straightforward. It included two essays, quizzes, module tests, and four discussion questions (200+ words each post; including three replies to others). She provided two deadline dates and consistently updates you on your progress in her course. If you do the work and don't procrastinate, you should do well.
Our class was small and amazing for the Summer. Tests are open and extremely easy to do. Writing is minimum and simple, no need for extensive works. Participation is difficult: you have to agree with what she says and be aware if your opinion sounds too technical, she prefers something more "id vulgaris opinio est" from her students. Good class tho
Asked friends for best professor at MDC and 3 came out over and over--Frazier, Dr. Buehler and Pomares. Friends didn't just say they were good but EXCEPTIONAL AND COULDN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT THEM.
