Comment:

Buckler was a great professor. He uploads every assignment and note online where it is easily accessible. He grades fairly and will explain to you if you can not understand the content. While the content can be difficult, Buckler explains it well so it can be easily understood. Plus he's a pretty funny guy.

Dr. Buckler is definitely one of my favorite professors I've had so far! I took Weather over the summer, and now, I find myself sitting in some classes thinking "Dang, I miss Buckler's class!" He's very fair when it comes to attendance, grading, and his expecations. I hope I have an opportunity to take one of his classes in the future!

Dr. Buckler is so fun! Although he does typically go over a lot of information, he makes class interesting and is always joking. Fun class and great professor!

Dr. Buckler is very kind and knowledgeable. His lectures can feel long at times, but they are full of important information. His exams are challenging but fair, and he also gives lots of bonus points.

Comment:

His test are really hard and the class in general is really hard if you aren't into the class. you definitely need to study to pass his class. He really wants you to pass so he offers outside help, which i recommend doing if you want to pass with a good grade. He was such a nice guy even though the class was tough.

He is a super nice guy and is willing to help you as much as possible. He will tutor you or find you a tutor. Test is hard and he lectures. He tries to make it fun and sometimes succeeds. He is one of the nicest professors I have ever had. Assignments and test are hard. He give bonus quizzes. Would take him again, but wouldn't recommend the class.

I am so happy I had him as one of my first professors. He helped greatly and was super understanding when a family crisis came about. Would definitely take from him again. Thanks for a great semester!

Dr. B was one of the most interesting, informative, and fun professors I've had in my 5 years of college. I don't like geography, and less so weather, but he made it interesting and fun.

He was a great teacher! I got an A and I had him in the summer. Go to class and take good notes. Everything on the test he lectured on. I made note cards out of everything in my notes before the test. Do this and read the book and you should get an A!

I love Dr. Buckler! He is the cutest old man! Good teacher, very passionate and knowledgable about the topic. The class is challenging but not impossible to receive an A in. Lectures are a snooze and doze off too long and Buckler may call on you but no one ever gets the answer right so it's okay!

Comment:

I took his lab. Its all online. One lab per week. Some are confusing. Hated that we didn't go to class cause it wouldve helped even if it was just once a week. He hardly ever in his office. Must call ahead of time. Easy enough i guess for a B.

DO NOT TAKE IN SUMMER - too much information, doesn't go into detail or great depth but the exams are extremely difficult.

Nice guy. Attendance not mandatory, but you might miss a bonus quiz which is worth up to 5 points. Tests are difficult, so study! He enjoys calling on students randomly- he asks a lot of questions. If you're not good at tests, don't take this class.
