Dr. Buckley is one of my favorite professors I've ever had. I had her for a night class yet it went by faster than most of my day classes. She is extremely intelligent and also VERY entertaining (she's got a dry/witty sense of humor). I don't think there was a class that went by where I didn't crack up multiple times at some [sometimes] subtle comments. She is flexible to student needs and timely in her responses. I would take her for any other class if I could. The content of the course itself was pretty interesting- we discussed a lot of intense current issues that really did make you think about things differently.

I took Buckley for World of Ideas and contemplated dropping out of college because of her. To think that i actually pay money to listen to her talk is obscene. She is one of the toughest graders i have had and give out way to many papers. Save yourself and do not take her!!!
