Comment:

Mr. Bukowski is a professor I enjoyed having this semester. The class is nothing but lectures and (Ill be honest) have very little knowledge/interest in the material. If you are the same way as me, then you may not exactly want to take the class. BUT, you wouldnt be making a bad choice if you choose this class

Comment:

Dr. Bukowski shows heavy knowledge in the intelligence field and you can see it through the organization of his class. He offers study questions for every reading and lecture outlines are also available. that being said, if you read the passages and dont attend, your grade will suffer. The final is in midapril and the last thing is a group project

Comment:

A very hard professor who will force you into to be at his boring never ending lectures with enough overhead outlines to make any normal person gag. Tough Tests (I was 1 out of 3 people to get an a on the first test), Terribly boring classes, and a very pompous teacher; Im sorry if you have to take him.

Comment:

While he is knowledgeable and approachable, he is often vague and unclear in regards to what he's looking for with assigments, especially the research design which is the main feature of this class. He's the only one teaching it though, so you'll just have to buck up and make it through.

I'm not gonna lie, he can be tough. Yet, I must recommend him for anyone who has an interest in International Studies. Just listen and read.

Go to class and take good notes they will come in handy for the take-home tests. Read the chapters for the mini-quizzies. Not the most exciting, but you do learn stuff.

The class was relatively easy - Bukowski is always available for help, to talk, whatever. Pay attention, take good notes, and read the book every once in a while.

Comment:

As a teacher he leaves much to be desired. The material seems easy enough as he teaches it and yet the tests are killers. The project involved in 255 was the worst I've ever had to do mostly because what he says he wants and what he really wants are two different things. And if you disagree with his politics make sure you shut up or expect the B.

Chuck is amazingly intelligent and he'll throw in a little humor just to make sure you're paying attention. A good instructor, an excellent advisor, but A's don't come easy in his class.

Made it pretty interesting. You have to know your stuff to get an A, but a B comes easy and you learn alot about US foreign policy.

Chuck is nice and fun. He is extremely knowledgeable but I feel that he has trouble relating to student's problems in his classes, because he is so bright. Other than that, he is my advisor and has been very helpful in that capacity.

Dr. Bukowski is an AMAZING teacher. Extremely knowledgeable and great teacher. Very straight forward and explains everything very well. If you study for exams, take notes you should be able to get an A. Cares about students, and makes himself available.
