So far he is my favorite professor. He is very engaging and makes time to work with you outside of office hours. He says you need the textbook but you dont as long as you go to class. Exams are also incredibly easy. Got a 99% every time.

Dr. Buckley is very passionate about his work and it shows in his lectures and if you drop by his office hours he will go above and beyond to help you with whatever you're having trouble with. The class itself is incredibly interesting to me and I never skip the class because I want to learn more from him. 10/10 recommend Dr. Buckley

He is a great professor. Very knowledgeable on the topic of climate change. You need to attend class since he does not post the notes on blackboard. His study guides are great too. Highly recommend this course!

Overall, Dr. Buckley is pretty awesome! Hes very nice and very knowledgeable on his subject. However he doesnt use blackboard or post any slides so going to class and taking good notes is your only way to pass. He gives good study guides!

I am not a Geography major and Professor Buckley made this class interesting for me. I learned a lot about our environment, and he goes into great depth in his lectures. His tests aren't hard, if you study. His homework assignments are easy. His TA grades tougher than him and takes unfair point off for little things.

I am not a geography major, but Professor Buckley is really good at making you care about the content and relating it to your everyday life, even if you're not particularly interested in Environmental Geography.

Definitely worth taking this class. Lectures are always interesting even though they are long. Power Point is only evil in the hands of a bad professor. He uses power point effectively. He will notice if you try your best t o participate in class discussions which is pretty much everyday, so do the assigned readings so that you know a little.

You'll definitely benefit from reading but it's not really necessary. He's a super cool guy and really tries to get his students involved in what he's teaching.

Comment:

Buckely's class was by far the best class i have ever taken. It was so interesting and he truly knows what hes talking about. Need to go to class in order to take notes but attending class didn't seem like a chore. I was genuinely excited to go to this class everyday, and this is coming from a person in a non-related major. Take this class!!!
