Sister Radke-Moss is a good teacher. She really takes time understand different perspectives. She is very good about when assignments are due and announcements. You can tell she is very educated on civil society and the different philosophies. A lot of the work is on the TA but Sister Radke-Moss is willing to help and work with her students.

Sis Radke-Moss is phenomenal. I love going to class everyday to talk about material. That being said, there is a lot of reading you can't get away with not doing, there's an in depth reading quiz before class almost everyday. But it's so worth it because you learn a lot! She also does a really good job at appreciating the nuances of history. Great!

she is a good person. but if you are expecting to get any clarity or communication about grades, do not expect that from her. she is so scatter brained and unorganized... she's not very good with technology so there are so many mistakes on quizzes and assignments. Her quiz questions are opinion based, and debateable... it's just frustrating!

Her lectures are great, but there's literally sooo much work! She has her exams in 3 parts!!! Who does that?!??!? Documentary watching and quizzes like twice a week and the same with textbook quizzes. I felt like I was going to have a brain aneurysm from being overworked for just one class. I felt like I learn a lot but at the same time, don't.

Amazing teacher! She is very knowledgeable and makes lectures interesting. It is really clear that she cares about your success. There is a lot of reading, but enough time to get it done without cramming or stress. We got to choose our own grade weights as a class and did a lot of group work. 10/10 recommend this class to everyone.

Sister Radke-Moss was an amazing teacher to have. Even though I took this class for fun, she didn't discriminate against that. She is so very nice to all her students and caring to make sure you are understanding the content. If you are taking a history class that she teaches, take Prof. Radke-Moss!!

Sister Moss is a legend. First off, she decided to cancel the final exam because this semester has been rough because of COVID. She allowed us to make up any quizzes we missed from any time in the semester. She isn't an easy A but she is very compassionate and wants you to succeed. She isn't afraid to honestly address hard topics like slavery.

Honestly one of my favorite classes and professors. She is incredibly knowledgeable and fun. She is great at taking complex information and making it understandable and interesting. She cares about her students. She understands that we have a life outside of her class, so while there is a fair amount of work, most of it is done during class.

Prof. Radke-Moss is an amazing teacher. She is so understanding of personal circumstances and will give you more time on quizzes/group projects if needed. She is really conventional with her group assignments in making sure you learn. Your "final" is a group project (i.e., un-essay) about Reconstruction.

I did not have a good experience in her class. The way she lectures makes history hard to understand and she did not go in-depth. There was no class participation. I got bad grades on the tests even though I would study for hours and bring in notes. She curved the tests though since a lot of us struggled. Tons of reading and a big group project.

She is passionate about history and you can see that in her lessons and lectures. Her slideshows and lectures have nothing to do about what is on the test and she said that in class. Although if you do the reading you will do well on the exams. The lectures mostly seem pointless and attendance is required.

I loved this class! There is a weekly group project on the reading and there is a lot of reading each week but you are usually good to skim as long as you pay attention during class and participate in the team documents. You're allowed 1 page of notes front and back on tests. The exam reviews are super helpful and if you go to those you'll do good.

Sister Radke-Moss is the hardest professor I've ever taken. Her class was harder than my 4-6 credit classes. I originally was very excited for this subject, but ended up dreading every moment of class. The expectations for students are way too high, the tests too much for a 3 credit class, and the reading is literally never ending.

Professor Radke-Moss knows her stuff! She is pretty test heavy but as long as you do the reading and take notes, you'll do fine. She allows notes for exams, and she dropped three of the lowest quiz scores which was nice. She's a fair grader.
