I took this class during intersession. It was great! It was over quick and earned an easy 3 credits. Class was not boring so time passed quickly and the professor is great!

I found this class, fundamentals of inquiry in science kind of unstructured, yet interesting. The work load wasn't bad at all and the discussion provoking. Bueno's a good guy and I would reccomend him.

I took his honors class and I thought he was a really cool guy (and fun accent too). Yes the subject is super dry and boring, but there's not tests just one question easy as hell quizzes once a week and he doesn't check homework. You have one project so only have to read one chapter to do it on and it's crazy easy too. Easiest class ever.

this class is a waste of your time. Bueno went over the chapters well but come time for homework, it didn't make sense. The book sucked at explaining things and the class went by waaaay too slowly. i wouldn't recommend it.

Comment:
I feel like Bueno teaches w/o "teaching." He's very good at explaining the concepts of the material, but horrible w/ explaining the application of these concepts. This made the homework -due every Friday- very difficult and the tests were impossible! No review or anything. The book was equally confusing. The class is OK, but don't expect an A. :(

Comment:
Professor Bueno is one of the worst professor's I've had. He is unclear and gets upset with classes of 250 all do poorly on his tests, then makes the next ones even harder. If you have to take him, I recommend Scott Mayberry as a TA.

Dr. Bueno is a really cool teacher. He is very approachable and really wants students to grasp the material. His class isn't easy by any means but he is very helpful and the work required is very reasonable. No tests! Just papers! Take this class with him

The class is hard, but he tries his best to make things clear. He will slow down the pace of the class so that everyone can keep up. The number of papers he requires is totally reasonable and doable.

He makes you turn in a paper every friday, but it's not that bad (only 200 words) He explains things about 6 or 7 times. He's very smart and helpful and has a good sense of humor.
