Hands down the worst teacher I've ever had. Doesn't give a study guide for her tests, doesn't give you the power points, goes through her lecture slides so fast that you only get maybe a quarter of the slide copied, and doesn't let the SI post a practice exam. She is a terrible teacher and is very unreasonable. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

No study guides and expects you to read the textbook everyday. Doesn't post powerpoints online either and then flies through them in class. She's asked us multiple times correct her english and didn't explain something to us because she "only could in German." Don't bother asking her a question in class, she'll just repeat herself. Avoid.

I took a W to escape this class. The Professor is an intolerant, unyielding, and overall unpleasant teacher. She goes very fast and expects you to follow with ease. The material is hard and she makes it even harder. I would avoid this class at all costs.

Hands down worst teacher I've ever had. This is a 100 level class, and should not be this difficult. Posts results of exams/quizzes on the board, and gets frustrated that 85% of the class is failing. 200 students failing means they are not the problem. If you want to pass, don't take it with her.

Shouldn't even be allowed to teach. Everybody I talk to has a D or an F in the class. Avoid at all costs.

This is by far the worst class I have. The lectures are long and slideshows are not put online. You have to read at least a chapter before every class. Random pop quizzes. The tests are near impossible to pass. My lecture hall of like 200 is 75% failing.

Lectures are long and she doesn't give enough time to copy the slides and doesn't put them online. Do not expect a study guide or anything you'd hope for in a BIO course.

Probably the worst professor I've had at NAU. Class room is a very hostile environment because she hates everyone. Hard to understand her accent and she is terrible at explaining the concepts. Doesn't give you anything to base the exams off of and randomly started putting short answer questions in our exams. AVOID THIS PROFESSOR!!!

This class is ridiculously hard for a 100 level class. The instructor is rude when a student asks questions and expects you to take factual information and conceptualize on your own. She flies through her lecture slides and doesn't post them online. I would avoid this class if possible.

Talks way too fast, goes through power points way too fast and you can't get all the information down. She says to her notes are from the book, but she adds things and its too hard to keep track. Does not provide any notes. Tests are hard no matter how much you study. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

This teacher is the worst teacher I have ever come across. Even professional said that I was not the only one to complain about her. The study guides are completely worthless, the tests are nothing like them and way too hard for a 100 level class. DO NOT TAKE THIS INSTRUCTOR.

This class was a nightmare. 100 level classes should be easy. This was not.

DROP THIS CLASS NOW, DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK! The first day of class she was hostile towards the class talking about her expectations that seem a little ridiculous. The textbook is required for the class and you can not pass without. the online access code is $120 and non refundable. Tests are easy if you study, but the quizzes dont relate to class

She stopped class every lecture, multiple times in order to tell someone to put their phone away; wasting time. Her accent is hard to understand. Tests are hard: our class avg was an F. She also discourages asking questions. She has grammatical errors in her power points very often.

She did not make her own tests, the wording was very confusing. The quizzes were built to be harder than the exams. I failed most of the quizzes. I was given an online textbook, which used Connect. I took hours of notes on the assigned Learnsmarts and notes in class and studied all for exams.

This class has genuinely been an awful experience. She definitely has command of knowledge, but she often holds this over the students. There have been multiple occasions of her ridiculing wrong answers from students. Class is super difficult, and at least this year, she herself is all over the place with due dates. Only good thing is office hours.

For the love of god please do not take this class. If you care about your grade look for a different professor. I took this class thinking that I would do well but I didnt . She can be rude if you ask the wrong questions and exams are too difficult even if you study everything. This class is made to weed out nursing majors !!

Avoid her class! She is not good at explaining things if you have a question and she will just repeat what she said before. She doesn't care about the students. Every test we had the class average was a D with 200 students. She should start to look at her teaching instead of blaming the students.

She was terrible. I went to her multiple times asking for help but she treated me like I was stupid. Her handwriting is not legible and she makes her tests extremely hard. Choose a different teacher.

I can honestly say she is the worst professor by far, as she uses notes as only a "general guideline" and expects you to be on her level of knowledge. Please, if you have a major in Biology, TAKE Sthultz! He seems to be the better and more helpful professor.

For the love of god do not take her class. She will make you feel dumb when you take her tests, and most of the time the tests don't correlate with her notes. Very knowledgeable professor, but she could care less about her students and our futures.

This professor was one of the worst professors I have ever had. She is extremely disrespectful to students and treated us like we were in high school. Her lectures are quick paced and her tests get more and more difficult as the semester progresses. Good luck getting an e-mail back. I had to work my butt off for my grade no thanks to her.

For the online course Relevance of Science, this lecturer just uploads some random notes with many links, and then we are to read them and then do multiple Content Quizzes, Hypothesis Activities, and In depth Quizzes. It's like every other day there is a quiz due on BB learn! The notes don't make sense, its really random and all over the place :c

never answers emails, isnt patient with students

Worst teacher I have ever had at NAU. I don't complain about professors often, but this professor was awful. One time she accidentally put the assignment close date as 1pm instead of 9pm as stated in the syllabus, and instead of opening it back up, she told us it was "our fault for not working ahead". Very unfair and extremely rude to students.

She is easily the worst instructor I've ever had. She is mean and flat out disrespectful to her students. She is not understanding whatsoever, and basically told me to suck it up and wouldn't help me when I had missed a huge assignment due to my friend passing away. The class was online synch, and I will give her credit for being organized.

Expects students to be on her level of understanding, but is incredibly unhelpful and uninvolved in her students' learning (isn't even involved in her own lab course). Material was difficult and I struggled despite taking a very similar course the semester before. She's condescending, unhelpful, and just plain rude. Would not recommend.

Her teaching style is not for everyone and her biweekly quizzes are worded so difficult for no reason.

words her quizzes in order to make the practically impossible to pass, studied for hours and would never get a perfect score. Extremely rude when it comes to helping students out with things like Iclicker and doesn't really teach in a way in which students absorb the information, just talks and talks.

Kind of hard to understand very heavy workload her test are extremely difficult. Very tricky wording

Worst professor I have had so far. Some of my grade is honestly because of online school- I won't lie. However, there was so much work for what felt like little payoff. Didn't help me learn and the lectures were hard to understand.

Probably the worst teacher you could ever have, wouldnt take her and it makes sense she is at a smaller university

By far the worst professor I've ever had. Not helpful at all. Said she doesn't post notes online. Doesn't let you take notes with a computer. Speaks super quietly and I couldn't even hear her with a microphone. I dropped and I would never go back to her for any class.

This professor does not allow phones, but only for iClicker stuff. The way the professor responds to questions with another question (i.e. "I dunno, is it?"), it makes the students second guess their responses. The workload isn't bad, but there's an assignment almost every day. An all-around tough professor.

I have taken over 30 courses both inside and outside my degree field at NAU. This class, by far, was the most frustrating and tedious. I love biology and the content came easily to me but dealing with the professor almost singlehandedly killed my interest in the subject area. I look forward to BIO182 with literally any other professor.

Not understanding of any issues or individual circumstances, also not a good teacher

Horrible teacher. Gets mad at you if you're yawning, and doesn't teach. Most of her assignments are based on the reading that she refuses to cover, and spends most time in class repeating herself. Overall horrible class, save yourself and choose a different class for bio credits.

Sweet lady by all means, but by far the worst teacher I have ever had. She relies on her students either taking resuscitation or attending SI sessions. There are 4 assignments every week, compared to her tests they are meaningless toward your grade. If you want an A, find another teacher or wait to take it another semester.

This professor constantly takes time away from the lectures to yell at the students for little things. She has yelled at people multiple times for yawning. She will get upset if you ask her to repeat something or have a question. If you do not do well on multiple tests, she looks at how it's your fault and not what's wrong with her teaching.

I didn't enjoy this class, felt like content wasn't clear enough and found it hard to understand the content presented. Very test heavy spent most of the class time bashing students. Would not take the class again or would recommend a different professor.

She is awful, I did not have a very good experience. I feel like she was very disconnected from the students and push as much work on everyone that she could. I would highly recommend taking a different teacher if you can because she will make you want to drop out of college.

Poor in class notes that are hard to read and follow along. Pointless rules that make it more difficult to learn such as not being allowed to take pictures of the board or use a computer. Unnecessarily rude to students.

this professor is rude and does not care about the students. she would yell at students who yawned saying she doesn't care about our feelings and would threaten to kick them out. she could care less about her students. the study guides were never like the tests. good luck if you end up with this professor

DO NOT TAKE BUSCHMANN! Her tests are nothing like the study material, and class averages hover around 60%. She refuses to curve grades, even though most students are failing. If you want a professor who wants their students to succeed, avoid Buschmann. Only about 3 out of the 200 students get As on her tests.

The von of biology. Expect to have 1/4 the class to be just useless complaining about random students. "You there in the back row. You're looking at your lap is that your phone? If you do not put it away in 3 seconds you must pack up your bag and leave" Why do you give a gaf? This is introductory bio this is not a place of honor. It gets to a point

I'm a bio major and this teacher made me consider dropping it. Her class is unnecessarily hard, the tests don't reflect the notes and study material, and she is unnecessarily rude and often times mean to students just for the sake of it. Note taking is next to impossible with her poor handwriting, not speaking proper English, and fast pace.

if your not religious then pick a religion and pray

Incredibly difficult for an intro level class. I ended up retaking with another professor, got an A+ after barely passing Buschmann's class. Lectures are fast paced and disorganized, testing material is nothing like course work, passive aggressive comments during class were unprofessional and a waste of time. good luck to anyone taking this class.

Runs a class like its the military. Prepare for disrespect, endless assignments, hard exams, and wishing you had chosen happiness instead of her class :)
