Great teacher...will definitely miss her. She made the class so much fun! Hope she's having fun at her new position in Cali!

Great teacher, outlines all chpts for notes, curves all tests, even mid-term & final. Sooory to see her go..:-(

Great professor! The class is challenging, but if you study, you'll have no problem getting an A. I would definately take her again!

Her class is well organized. She knows her stuff. The class is easy AND you learn. She also goes over what is on the test so you know what to study. Take her she is worth it. I wish she taught A&P!!!

very interesting class, but she can be very hard. to pass dont miss and you need to study very hard. But if your up to a challenge she will give you one. She does keep you awake during the class. she is very energetic. she does not give extra credit so dont ask. giving a 10 min presentation is req

I WAS SCARED ABOUT TAKING THIS CLASS SHE MADE ME LIKE MICROBIOLOGY STUDY,DON'T MISS CLASS OR LECTURE,AND BE APART OF THE CLASS AND YOURE SURE TO GET A PASSING GRADE:) WILL TAKE HER AGAIN IF SHE TAUGHT A&P I

Enthusiastic, Fun, Organized. Take this professor. You can't beat a teacher who gives you all the lecture and homework outlines for every section. LOTS OF TESTS means you really have to screw up to fail this class! The only way you will be surprised by anything on the tests is by not showing up to class.

She is a great teacher! She has so much energy and enthusiasm about microbiology, she made it fun! It is not an easy class, you have to study. Pay attention to her reviews for the test and you'll be fine. Loved her class!

Very Nice strict about grading, very few if any curves.. Really wants students to succeed in class and in life. Take notes and DO THE HOMEWORK it really helps and its a BIG part of the Grade.. I like the grading scale. I didnt do to good on the tests and still pasted the class with a decent grade. Will be taking her A&P class next semester. STUDY F

Hard class but she gives you all you need for tests and lecture. Do homework and bonus points. I failed 4 of 6 exams and ended up with a "B". She loves the subject and is very entertaining.

Great teacher she is hard but she is willing to help you if you ask. Grading scale is great you can fail 1 or 2 things and still get a decent grade I took this class over the summer and got a B I failed 1 test and didn't do so well on a few lab quizzes. She is a great teacher she is hard because she want the information to stay with you.

She is tough but extremely helpful and makes the class really interesting. Tests are all short answer style, no multiple choice or T/F, but she prepares you very well. I was able to get an A in her class because she makes it enjoyable to learn the information. I would highly suggest her!!!

She is a great teacher. Very entertaining & enjoys what she is talking about. I hate the subject but I enjoy her class. The tests are pretty easy if you study. i dont so I barely get by.. HW papers are due every 2 wks and are one page and very simple. you have to try to get a bad grade.. SHOW UP FOR CLASS, she gives extra credit sometimes for it

was dreading taking this class for the 2nd time but she made it so easy. explains in a way you can remember and understand. the homework/ fill in notes help you for her exams which can be tough.

PRE-NURSING STUDENTS: SHE'S A MUST! Teaches from a health care point of view. Interesting professor. Takes what could be a dry subject and puts life into it. Labs were relevant to healthcare. Uses hmwk/study guides (required) makes studying a breeze. Engaging, lectures well. Pre/Post lab write ups. Essay exams. Short answer quizzes.

She has a GREAT personality, and very knowledgeable about what she teaches. She moves quickly, but provides impressive lecture notes for you to look back and study from. Tests are very detailed and difficult that consist of atleast 6 ch each. Lots of h.w., and the mini quizzes are derived from the end of ch review in the book. Fun teacher though!

I loved Andrea. She is probably the hardest teacher I have had, but worth it! If you want to become a good healthcare professional, I strongly recommend her. If you're lazy...Take someone else. She is wonderful at what she does. Easy on the eyes to.

Great Teacher, great person. If you get a chance to take her don't pass it up! She'll acctually TEACH you something. :)

Really cool professor. I learned so much in her class. just do all homeworks,and study of of the hw.

Professor Rediske is awesome! She makes biology fun, and I actually enjoyed going to class. Tests are a little tough, just make sure to do the homework and study. Definitely take her if you get the chance!

This class is hard no matter what! It?s even harder online. If you have all the time in the world, then this class is for you! The homework she had us do is useless & it really takes a lot of time. You really have to study & READ the chapters. The test & quizzes are difficult. Overall this class is a disaster & taking her makes it worst:(

The lecture part is online & pretty tough. The lab part is great & Andrea is a really good teacher. You have to work hard and study alot but the lab practicals & quizzes are fair.You can tell she loves micro & relates it to your field of study. I got a B+ so its def. not as bad as people say. I would recommend her..shes a great professor!!!

Mrs. Rediske is cool however I felt she could have handle this online course a lot better than she did. The HW really has nothing to do with the lecture exams and they are to damn long! The one thing she did do good for us was curve our exams.Overall this class is difficult no matter what you have to study!

She was a good teacher in my opinion, yes it is not easy, but its microbiology, how easy can it be??? My only complaint was the online exams which were made for microbiologists, that was something I dreaded doing. You just need to make sure you set aside time to study and read....The lab was not bad at all, she lets you know exactly what to study

I have to agree with all the comments. Professor Rediske is very helpful and good at explaining the lab. However, do not get on her bad side, she will not be so helpful. Homework and exams are extremely long, you have to read the text to pass. I made a good grade but I probably couldnt have done as well if I was taking other courses

Hard. She is knowledgeable on the subject. Test are long and hard. LOTS of assignments to complete. Wants you to be an expert and know EVERYTHING. No extra credits. Willing to work with you sometimes. Overall, pretty nice and good personality. Funny as well. I thought she was good, but a bit hard.

A+ Prof! Microbio is hard no matter where or w/ who. Rediske loves subjet & it shows. This is a real college course. B prepared to study! All neg R peeps who didn't study. Took hybrid. Convenient 1 night class ea week. Quiz ea class on prior lab's content. HW or Exam due each Sat (2nd chance to resubmit after she grades). 2 lab practicals.

Hybrid class. Lots of work with this class since it's online but it helps to boost your grade if you're not good at exams. Mid-term and final are tough but manageable. Online exams are killer but you get 2 tries at each. Labs are fun and easy. Overall easy class if you have a good science background. If not, take the traditional one.

Great teacher. The labs were fun. There is a lot of work but it can be done. I took the hybrid course. The tests online were REALLY hard, but you do get 2 tries for each. She's very helpful and always available. I would take her again :)

The whining of these "children" makes me ill. I took her for my nursing pre-reqs, got an A, almost 2 yrs ago. Learned a lot. I still hear today as I finish nursing. She prepares future nurses well. If you want to be spoon fed don't go into nursing. If you cannot get it from Rediske...don't bother with nursing, you will fail.

If you want an easy class, this isn't it. It's tough and time consuming. But the material is interesting and you learn a lot. I took the summer hybrid class. She tells you what's on the lab quizzes. The online exams were hard. If I had the choice of taking an easier professor, I would have but I did learn a lot and she?s not bad looking either.

This is a difficult class, lots of work and she is very strict. However, she is very accessible, it is a hybrid class, so you'll only see her in lab, so you have to learn the material by yourself, but if you have questions, she'll definitely answer your emails and try to help u as much as possible. Great professor! Be prepared to study, though.

I don't understand why people are saying the professor is "hard". Its not the professor, its the subject, if you don't study, you won't pass! I pulled an A, BUT she tells you from the beginning that her class is hard and she has serious requirements. Micro isn't the easiest class, but she def. knows he stuff!

By far the BEST professor I have ever had! Took Micro my first class back after 5 years away from college & aced the class! The hybrid Micro class is the hardest class Valencia offers! Be prepared to work and learn! She is tough as nails but very fair in grading ad expectations. We are adults people, not babies, she expects that from us. <3'd her!

Hard-The class itself is hard, not the teacher. The teacher is helpful if you turn your assignments in on time (preferrably early). Great teacher! Not an easy A but if you are looking for something to challenge your mind take her class. Whatever you do though do not take the class with A & P, try to take it with Medical Terminology, it will help.

She is great! I enjoyed this class tremendously. She is fair and gives you plenty of chances to get a good grade. If you do the work, which is a lot but manageable, you will do fine. She makes a somewhat tedious subject very interesting and actually fun. Make sure to partner up with the right lab partners that are willing to work hard.

Great Professor!! More than willing to help, and knows her stuff. She is EXTREMELY organized which I absolutely love about her. If u r taking this course as a prereq for nursing and fail it (or even get a C), don't bother applying for the nursing program. This class is a wonderful prep for the program. People who r complaining didn't put any effort

This professor is by far one of the best professors I have had at Valencia! She is extremely helpful and gives everyone plenty of chances to passing this class with a B or better. If you do not pass this class then you are just not putting the time and effort into it. This is a hard class in general, don't think you and just wing it and pass.

The Hybrid class is hard & requires you to study, but this professor is excellent in that she tells you exactly what you need to study for. If she didn't, no one would pass it because there is simply too much detail in a short period of time. This method works as it ensures you WILL learn what she tells you to study. Great Job!

I find her to be very rude. she knows her stuff but she has a way about her to make snide comments and tend to ignore you or embarrassed you in class. I would not recommend her plus her test are unbelievable and everything is a big deal with her.

I actually love this class. You HAVE to study about 20+ hrs/wk. I took it as a hybrid, there were 6 exams with 3 chap. in each. She lets you take the exam twice and gives you the higher grade. She gives you points for completeing the post and pre labs. which r due every wk w/ a lab quiz. I recommand her if you have taken bioloy before.

AWESOME TEACHER! Hoestly, I've never gotten an A in ANY science class since middle school and I'm one of those overacheving students (took AP bio and AP chem). You MUST study! You pretty much get points for anything as long as u complete it (pre/post labs). 2 attempts for test (online if its a hybrid class). 2 hr time limit with 100 questions.

I LOVED this class! Yea, it's a hard class, but she makes it so much fun and interesting. I took it as a hybrid class & I have suggested it to a lot of people. I love it, had a pretty steady B throughout without really much studying or effort. Some people may need more studying than I did though. I'd take it again if I had to

Learned a lot in the hybrid class, but a lot of work. The learnsmart hw takes 6 or more hours a week. Many other assignments: prelabs, postlabs, exams, lab practicals, lab quizzes, journal entries and a really annoying APA style paper.She was nice and lab was easy/fun. Take her if you can.

Might be one of the best professors I have had! I had a medical condition and she worked with me as best as she could. She really connects this class to the healthcare/profession aspect. She gives 10 points of extra credit on each test if you create your own study guide for each set of test material. You can really tell she wants you to succeed.

Rediske is a great professor. I was a little nervous at first because her reviews weren't good, but I'm so glad I took her. She gives an easy quiz every class and allows some extra credit on exams. Micro is a hard class as it is, but she enables you with everything you need to do good in the class. It really just comes down to the effort you apply

Dr. Rediske is very personable and provides you with necessary means to do well. She's more than willing to explain topics and really tries to help you remember the information. Of course the class is hard, but what else what else would you expect from an anatomy class? Pay attention, do the work, and you'll be fine. She's awesome, 10/10.

Dr. Rediske is an amazing and very helpful professor! The workload is heavy, but that's to be expected. Review the material, make the study guides, and focus on the homework! If given the opportunity, I would definitely take a class with her again.

Dr. Rediske is a great professor for Microbiology! She truly loves teaching and it shows! We all know Micro is not easy. She gives a lot of homework and quizzes BUT it helps you learn the material! Lab is great and lab reports are pretty easy and straightforward. She gives extra credit on exams! It's tough but stick with her, its worth it!!!

I've been coming to Valencia some time now and its really hard to find a teacher whos is understanding, personable, & passionate. Is her class challenging? Well yes, but this is college! If you're planning on taking this class you're probably interested in healthcare and this professor helped me prepare! I 1000% recommend this professor!

This class was difficult. I will not sugar coat it. It required time & dedicated study. The best advice I could give is READ the textbook-if you care about KNOWING micro for your future this is the professor to take. She is passionate about micro-SERIOUSLY! She knows the class is hardoffers a ton of extra credit. Quizzes in EVERY class Lab & lec.

I took her for Microbio and AP1. Her classes are difficult as with most science courses but don't be discouraged. She starts each lecture with a check in quiz worth 5 points and she offers 10 extra credit pts per exam. As long as you read and get yourself into the habit homework. you'll be fine. I got A's in both micro and AP1, it's doable.

Professor Rediske is a good teacher, but just make sure you do lots of studying to pass. She offers extra credit which helps a lot. There are 5 tests, lab quizzes every week and check in quizzes every week as well.

Absolutely LOVE Professor Rediske. Yes, the class is difficult but there is honestly no reason why you shouldn't get at least a C, honestly at least a B. She gives so many extra credit opportunities and will always curve the test if needed. She is happy to help outside of the class and is always available. Just do all your homework and STUDY HARD!

Literally the nicest human being and best professor I've had. 4 recorded zoom meetings. Lots of opportunity for extra credit. She goes above and beyond to make herself available to you and your schedule. The material is tough but she makes it easy to understand with the lectures. I'd take her over and over again

Took online due to covid, SHE CARES!!! projects, text reading 1 chapter a week, pre post lab 1 a week, lab quiz every week, extra credit study guides we make, lab practical and final, total of 5 tests (not including lab) this class is heavy but she makes it easy to learn take her it's an easy A she will rearrange anything for her students!!!!!!!!!!

She is one of my favorite professors at Valencia college. She makes learning fun with everything being online. Her zoom lectures are the best she is really funny. She also understands life happens and will work with you and do everything to help you pass her class!

She is the best professor. She records 1 hour zoom meetings 4x a week and you get 1 pt of extra credit a week just for attending. Cares a lot about her students. If every teacher at valencia was like her, it really would be a better place. There is 2 lab assignments and 2 check in quizzes weekly but she lets you revise and resubmit. EXTRA CREDIT!

She is a great professor. She really loves Micro and that evident. She wants to help you and makes herself accessible. She will work with you. Yes, you will have to work for a good grade! Lots of assignments but they make you really understand the concepts so its not busy work. 10/10 PROFESSOR I would recommend her to anyone! Model professor.

She really cares about her students. She is very good at teaching. I was scared to take this class online but she made everything possible to still get to "practice" the labs without actually being there. She is always available for her students if needed. She's truly amazing.

Dr Redinske was the best professor i've ever had. She's bad ass and has passion for teaching. She is also a very compassionate human and gives you the tools you need to succeed in her class.

Dr. Rediske is very knowledgeable and loves what she does you can tell! She is lenient and understands life happens. Plenty of extra credit opportunities, the assignments are heavy! tests are straight from the textbook. Pro Tip: study the chapter quizzes in my lab and mastering. Easy A if you do all of the assignments to the best of your abilities

This professor does do a lot of zoom meetings but she gives you unlimited attempts on assignments so you can correct them as many time until the due date for full credit. there is TONS of EC as well. Science is not my strong suit but I ended up with a high A. Definitely would take her again.

It's very clear that Professor Rediske has a passion for teaching. I learned so many materials that has helped me in future advance science courses. All the materials professor Rediske offers will help you! If you are planning to pursue a career in the medical field, I honestly recommend.

There are a lot of small assignments, but if you are not a great tester they balance the grade. It is really have hard not to get an A or B in this class if you do everything. Not protruded at all and lab videos are better than the horrible simulation labs in other classes. TAKE HER!

She is nice so asking her for help was no problem. Unlimited attempts for pre/post labs and check in quizzes that she gives you feedback for (good for studying for the quizzes). Mastering bio does not take points off if you get wrong answers. Lots of assignments which is helpful in case you bomb a quiz or two. Mainly memorization for tests/quizzes.

Micro is a hard class regardless but Dr. Rediske makes it known she wants her students to succeed and does anything she can to help. Her lectures are easy to listen to, the lowest test grade gets dropped and replaced with an average of your other exam grades, chances to resubmit work before the deadline, and extra credit. TAKE THIS TEACHER!!

cons: lecture heavy, lots of busy work, check in quizzes, projects, Participation matters, grades heavy, gets mad when students dont know the answers, short answer responses. Pro: she makes it interesting and clear just keep up with the assignments and study everyday and dont have a life youll do great!

She is an amazing teacher, but the class is SO MUCH WORK. She's willing to help you in any way she can, you just have to put in the effort. I will say she gets annoyed when you don't know or remember something. She is an extreme extrovert so be prepared for loud, screaming, yelling, jumping, all of that. Group work is huge in her class as well.

She is bar far the best teacher I have had in my education past high school. She sets you up for success. She cares and will work with you. She goes over your test with you, so you can learn, AND gives you extra credit. You can redo all your work before the hard deadline and make a 100. Learning to write in your own words was tricky but got easy!

Don't listen to the people saying Dr. R is bad. She was hands down one of the best professors I've ever taken, She's engaging, offers feedback on your assignments and lets you re-submit for full credit and really does care about you as a student. Microbio won't be easy no matter who you take it with, but Dr. R will make sure you succeed.

Everything is written hw,quizzes,tests( lockdown)but if you take notes and watch her lectures you'll do fine. all test questions are in her lecture vids.labs are fun. she pushes her students but if you put the effort in you'll do great. allows u to resubmit hw for better grade upuntil deadline. ur grade depends on u ur not required to resubmit.

Professor R can be demanding, but is ultimately a great mentor who pushes you to succeed. The workload is heavy, but using tools like unstuck study alongside the textbook and lectures can help you stay on top of it.

I am currently in my clinical year in PA school and took her class in 2020. This microbiology class has helped me in my graduated program. I still use the assessment: explain how vaccines work in non science terms weekly. She makes you wish other sciences classes were like hers. Still 5 years later, I compare my graduate level classes to hers.
