She is intimidating at first, but she is worth taking, because her lectures are amazing.

If you study for the tests they are not too difficult, and you get to drop the lowest. downside she gives an occasional pop quiz.

She's an amazing professor! I had her for Psych 101. She may seem a little stern at first, but she's really an amazing teacher. She gives great lectures and is always willing to engage in a discussion. She wants her students to succeed. Her class was so fun and hilarious! Just make sure to take detailed notes.

Dr. Radeke is currently my all-time favorite professor / educator. She makes lectures fun, interesting, and tells some pretty funny personal stories to aid the lectures. I sat at the back of the class and felt fully engaged during each lecture. Truly a great professor and her class will be very fun and informative.

Best professor I've had so far! She will try and find ways to tell a funny story about herself that relates to the topic we are discussing.
