Really like the class. funny. Uses real stories about the stuff we are studying. New to JCCC. CAme here from Arizona. so you you have to look under Northern Arizona University to find his other ratings.

Fantastic professor. The class is set up to help you succeed. He offers practice tests that include actual questions on the real tests. Go to class, do the assignments, and use the practice tests. You have to be super lazy to fail this class. He makes it so easy to succeed and he clearly loves teaching.

Great class. Dr. Rader is so much fun. He related the class to the real world. I learned things to use in my daily life. He even includes things on how to be a successful college student. And he related them all to psychology. Go to class. Take the quizzes. don't forget to do any of his assignments. He doesn't allow late assignments.

This class was great. He always made sure we knew what was going on, when assignments were due, etc. He used stories to relate topics to real life, and had some fun and/or interesting activities and demonstrations. By far the best teacher and class I have had at JCCC so far.

He is a very cool teacher!!! one of the best i have!!! he does make pyschology interesting!!!!

the BEST teacher I have ever had!! offers extra credit, he wants you to suceed! he will even help you with other issues that have nothing to do with class! TAKE HIM!!!

Mr Rader has been so much fun this past semester. Very helpful with everything in class. Relates a lot of stuff in class to real life for college students. Always has a good story or video to share if you're early to class. Online quizzes very helpful for studying for thew exams. Take any of his classes if you get the chance.

Finally a teacher who explains things well and sets up the class so it makes sense. Only the first week but if the class is half as good as he set it up and explained it this will be a great class. So impressed I had to write this.

BEST TEACHER AT JCCC. Psychology was fun and he makes every class interesting. Test are easy if you study for them.

Dr. Rader is one of the best professors I've had at JCCC. He really cares about his students! The guy is funny, helpful, and really good at what he does. He even helped me decide on a major! Take him for Intro to Psych.

Excellent teacher. Explains the information VERY clearly. If you just show up for class he covers all the material in an easy to understand method. He also has online quizzes which the questions comprise the test. You can take these as much as you want. Excellent class. Would most definitely suggest.

Prof. Rader was great and I really enjoyed the semester. The online quizzes are very helpful for studying for exams. I didnt think that lecture notes were helpful. Its a good idea to read the book even though it can get a little boring. He doesnt allow cell phones in his room and keeps you accountable for unexcused abscences. Highly recommended.

One of the best teachers I've had, you can take the online quizzes as much as you want and the test questions are right from the quiz. Keeps class interesting with youtube videos etc and explains thing very clear. Attendance is mandatory but worth it as his class is actually fun to go to.

Checking out profs for fall. Decided to go ahead and rate Prof Rader even though the class isn't over. He is nice and helpful. Uses real stories when discussing the material. This makes the material easier to understand. He is strict on his NO TEXTING policy. Personally it was hard to do at first, but now I like that there are no distractions.

There are things in the book that he doesn't discuss in class that show up on quizzes. If you do the quizzes enough times you'll pass the test. He's organized but don't talk in class unless he calls on you or he'll ignore you for the rest of the semester.

Great professor! Attendance is mandatory and very strict on no cellphones in class but you get used to it! Very friendly and always had my class laughing. Online quizzes and writing assignments can be tough but there are TWO extra credit tests worth 100 points aka a whole letter grade IF you do them.

Awesome teacher. Super helpful and friendly. He is very easy to talk to when you're struggling or having a problem. Going to class is a must! Take notes on lectures and study with quizzes, both show up on tests. Don't take much notes on the whole chapter just take deeper notes on what he covers in class. DEFINITELY PICK HIM!! you won't regret it!

Class attendance is mandatory unless you don't care about failing. Strict on no texting. If you do, you have to write a 15 page research paper. He is very easy. Take the quizzes and online homework seriously. Study the quizzes and take notes in class and you will do fine. He gives out 100 points of extra credit! Take him. You won't regret it.

Really good professor. I took Dr. Rader in the spring. Even met with him to talk about future jobs. He was very helpful even though I am not going into Psychology. Go to class. Do the quizzes. No texting. I thought this would be bad, but he made the class interesting enough I didn't need to. AND I didn't want to do the 15-20 page paper. Take him.

Dr. Rader's online class is really set up good. I have taken other online classes. This is one of the best. He gets back with you fast if you have questions. He is really helpful. There are several writing assignments and you HAVE to read the book to pass the tests. But you can take them three times. May try one of his in person classes.

Super easy class. He has it very well organized and everything is due every 2 weeks, so you get plenty of time. You have 2 writing assignments and 3-4 tests every 2 weeks. You can take the tests up to 3 times and your best score will be chosen! I found this class to be enjoyable, but you do need to use the book. I would recommend this class.

Mr. Rader is definitely one of the best Pysch teachers ever. I'm a psych major so I've taken a lot of pysch courses and he provides the best foundation. Very clear, extremely passionate, and easy! Show up to class, don't use your phone, and you'll do amazing! :)

Incredible teacher. Absolutely Amazing. Quizzes are a big portion of the grade and they're kind of hard but you can take as many times as you want. Multiple choice is hard. possible 10% of final grade extra credit. My favorite teacher. Learned so much

Very easy to understand when things are due, what we're doing in class, etc. He makes it interesting and the class is easy as well. I got an easy A no problem. Amazing teacher, my favorite class all year.

Dr. Rader is amazing!! This class was great. Attendance is mandatory, and he can lower your grade if you miss too many classes. Do the quizzes, do the extra credit, enjoy the lectures (they are fun!)

He's the best teacher I had all year, he really made it interesting and I enjoyed the class a lot. He's also super clear in when things are due/tests are coming up, and gave a review for each test that made it extremely easy. I got over 100% in the class. I definitely recommend him, wish I had more teachers like him!!

I was always excited to come to this class. It sucked because I am not a morning person and of course it's my morning class. I love learning about psychology. This teacher was by far one of the best teachers or ever had. He would tell us experiences he had and use them as examples that helped us understand the topic. An A+ professor.

GREAT teacher! Made psychology really interesting. He's really experienced in the field of psychology so he has a lot of knowledge and stories to share. Make sure to do the work and get everything turned in on time, no late work accepted. Try not to procrastinate! Easy course if you stay on top of things and great professor

Took this class online during the summer so it was a challenge to do 4 chapters (4 tests/2 assignments due every two weeks). I cannot stress how much reading you will do. If you take this online, you will be able to take the tests 3 times but you will have 50 minutes to answer 40 questions so that's a challenge of its own. I rec. taking at school.

He's a great teacher! Psychology can be a tough topic to learn about. Dr. Rader makes it fun and interesting. If you need help he's there for you whether it's with school or personal life. Loved the class and wish every class had the same environment!

Dr. Rader is amazing! He gave us a lot of work, but he was fair. There was three online quizzes for each unit but he gives unlimited attempts! There is a huge extra credit opportunity at the end of the semester. Best teacher and best class I have ever taken. I made an A but you have to do your part and make effort otherwise you will fall behind.

Dr. Rader is the best professor I've hadat JCCC. He is very passionate about the subject and he makes going to class, fun. This is one of the only classes I've ever looked forward to going to. He's funny and answers any questions that come up during class. You will not regret taking his class.

Very straight forward! There's no weekly discussions or assignments. You have four different modules with three or four tests in each. There's also a media and short writing assignment in each. This class is self paced with only due dates for each module! If you're looking for a easy way to fill a credit take his online class!

This class met once a week. If you missed 2 classes he said he would drop your letter grade. This class was stressful with a 30 paper paper assigned. Mine ended up being about 17. I dreaded going to his class each week. In my opinion, he talked down to the students by over explaining things like we couldn't understand. It was annoying.

Dr. Rader is the best! The class is tough, but manageable. He is one of the few instructors that I have met that genuinely cares about his students education. If you are willing to put in the work, so will he. He is clear about what he expects in the class and is willing to help students achieve it, as long as they are willing to put in the work.

A great teacher. Made the class challenging, but made good grades obtainable if you show up and work hard. Very kind and helpful. He also made lecture very interesting and treats you like an adult. Just do the assignments, do well on the quizzes (they help for the tests) and MAKE SURE to do the extra credit. It will make the difference!

Dr. Rader is a teacher who knows his material and is an excellent, organized guide for his students. He encourages the development of professionalism for students' benefit. You will work hard and get the benefits of the material. He took the intimidation factor out of stats for non-math majors. I was so impressed I took 3 more classes from him.

Dr. Rader is a FANTASTIC teacher. He is very clear in what is expected of you (the syllabus is amazing, do NOT lose it) and is extremely helpful if you see him after class or go to his office hours. His lectures are easy to follow and he keeps the material interesting. His assignments are not typically difficult, but make sure you do them!

Dr. Rader was my favorite teacher that I've had at JCCC so far. He was extremely helpful and was always willing to listen and work with you. He give clear notes and easy deadlines for a few papers which are not bad to write. The tests are a bit tough and long but if you study hard you will make it. A bit of a talker but will keep you interested.

One of the genuinely nicest and most interesting college professors I've had. Keeps you interested in the class!

he was a really good professor and helpful so far

Professor Rader was one of the best teachers I've had. His lectures are interesting and the test are fairly easy as long as you study. If you follow all instructions on assignments, quizzes and test it's easy to pull an A out of his class.

Very strict on attendance and LOTS of reading (if you want to pass the class). Over all his lectures are very interesting and make the class fun!

Dr. Rader was one of my favorite professors at JCCC. His lectures were interesting and he made psychology easy to understand. He is passionate about helping students learn. I kept in touch with him after and he helped with career decisions for me. He tells you what's on the exam and they aren't tough as long as you study! Really enjoyed this class!

He is very entertaining and will joke with students during lecture. No cell phones or computers allowed, but he made the lectures so interesting, I never once wanted to reach for my phone. Several assignments, papers, and online quizzes but they are easy. Exams are also straightforward, and he covers everything you need to know for them in lecture.

There are many teachers, but few who are good instructors. Rader is an asset.

TAKE HIM! He has his doctorate so he has so much experience in psychology. He talks about his experiences and tells stories which makes the class really interesting. This is like the only class I enjoyed going to. I wish it wasn't over because I loved it. I hope to have him again as a teacher in the future. He is always there for you!

Online class was very straight forward, can go ahead if you're are ambitious. Homework is clear and easy to understand. Entire textbook was read.

Dr. Rader changed my life. I changed my major to psych/social work cuz of his intro class. He's tough but helpful. great lectures. One of the best teachers Ive ever had. I wish he taught more than just intro. Id take him for every psych class if I could

Good teacher. Easy if you follow directions and get your papers turned in on time. Haven't finished online course yet but have an A so far. Overall a good online class.

Great teacher! Assignments can be lengthy and he is strict on grammar (but it's college what do you expect?). There are quizzes for each chapter that basically give you the test questions. Strict attendance policy lowers by letter @ 3 absences and "F" @ 5 **ABSOLUTELY NO TECHNOLOGY ALLOWED** if you can't live w/out your phone don't take this class

I took the online class and I'm so glad I did. He gives you 3 entire weeks to do 4 quizzes and 2 papers. for each unit. The quizzes are easy if you look stuff up; you don't need any textbooks if you take this online. Save yourself the $200 please. Very clear on what he grades and he sticks to it every time. Good class to take if you're busy a lot.

Absolutely adored this professor. It is annoying that technically you're only allowed to miss 3 days of class but it goes by quick and there is never a dull moment. if you miss 4 days u go down a letter grade. if you miss 5 days you're immediately dropped out of the class. Always has funny, interesting stories that correlate to the lessons n caring

He spells out what is expected. *He gives online timed quizzes that cover the chapters, but not necessarily the lectures (so you will have to READ the chapters to answer the questions. There are so many ?s that do not have the right answers that I gave up on trying to get 100% on my quizzes. Gives unlimited number of retakes.

Rader is phenomenal. He is strict on phone use and attendance but it is only because he truly cares about your success in his class. His lectures were never boring and his grading was clear. He was very helpful in preparing for exams and was always open to meet with students. He made everything very easy to understand while still making you work.

He is an awesome teacher. The lectures are relatable and he makes the time go by so fast. He gives a huge extra credit opportunity worth almost half a later grade. Not a lot of homework and not a ton of reading from the textbook is needed. As long as you do the online quizzes it is an easy course.

Great professor, attendance is mandatory but you will want to be there, lectures are great he has so many stories from his experience. Tells you everything that will be on the test and the quizzes are very helpful. Such a nice guy too very open to helping his students! Definitely recommend.

Great teacher and super lectures! He made an 8 o'clock lecture class bearable. I was dreading the class but ended up loving it! Hard quizzes but just do the reading. So interesting, and I enjoyed hearing about all his experiences. Stay off your electronics and ask questions and you'll be his favorite!

Dr. Rader was an amazing professor. He has a lot of experience in the field, and he tells the most fascinating stories. He made me look forward to hearing his lecture everyday. He may be a stickler for attendance and doesn't allow any technology, but it's totally worth it. He's easy to contact, and he is also a great person to just sit & talk with.

Dr. Radar is an amazing Professor! He puts things in perspective and really make you want to go to class!! If you have questions GO TO HIM!!! He is more than happy to help and he is very caring about his students!

Dr. Rader is really here to watch all his students succeed and offers up his office hours for psychology help to study habit tips. He is strict with his guidelines, but they're reasonable and easy to follow. Class is mandatory, but his lectures are very interesting as he has a lot of personal stories. My favorite class this semester.

Amazing professor would love to take another class with him

I wish I would've taken his class sooner. He is such an amazing professor! For the summer online class, he had assignments that he gave at least 2 weeks for us to do. I personally only took each quiz once, even though there's three attempts. I procrastinated and passed. He does truly care about his students. He has helped me turn my life around :)

best teacher ever

He provides entertaining stories that go along with the lesson which helps me connect a story/ schema to remember later on when taking tests. Participation really makes the class so much more intriguing. This course helps to relate to real life situations and how to handle them better.

Awesome professor, handled students' profanity use very well. Definitely a fun class to take; I learned a lot about psychology from him.

Dr. Rader is truly an EXCEPTIONAL professor! I actually LOOKED FORWARD to going to his class. He truly cares about the success of his students. There are LOTS OF READINGS from the textbook There are online quizzes which can pose to be a challenge, but you have unlimited attempts at them to LEARN the material. If you APPLY yourself & LEARN...A

One of the best teacher's I've ever had. I signed up for this class dreading how terrible it would be but actually ended up trully enjoying it. The tests weren't difficult if you took good notes and the papers were all your views on psychology and what you've learned from the class. Super easy and fun class with a genuine teacher. Highly reccomend.

Hes a great professor, I recommend him.

I would definitely take this class again. Professor Rader is the best college professor I've had so far and he was extremely helpful. If you don't understand something, he will sit down with you and help you until you do. He also cares about his students and making sure they get the most resources out of the school and that they are doing well.

Dr. Raders Psychology course is one of the best courses Ive taken. His lectures are fun and engaging, and he has a good sense of humor. The online quizzes are great because you have unlimited attempts to get them down, and the questions on them are similar to exam questions. Hands down the best professor Ive had so far.

Michael was so funny and a very good teacher! He was super interactive and made coming to class enjoyable. He was very clear about the schedule and what was expected in the class. I learned so much and definitely recommend him! The class was super easy too.

Rader was so awesome. He always had the best stories and tried to make lectures enjoyable. When a test came he would make a little study guide so you could know what was on the test which is more than most professors do. He got me into considering psych for my major. Overall, I really enjoyed his class and would take him again.

One of the most insightful professors I have ever had. His lectures are very engaging and even humorous at times. He is gentle and fair, and I could not have asked for a better professor on this subject. A true authority. Knows what he's talking about. If you have a chance to be taught by Dr. Rader, take it.

Dr. Rader is a fabulous professor. I took him this summer for an online Intro to Psych class. He wants all of his students to succeed, so he is very particular about grammar and professionalism. He gives great feedback on module assignments and expects you to be thorough in your answers. There are three chances to get the best grade on unit exams.

I had Dr. Rader last year. I missed quite a bit of classes, due to personal reasons, and came to speak with him due to concern over my grade, as missing more than a few classes is an automatic fail. He worked with me, told me what I needed to do, and I couldn't be any more thankful. Class was always enjoyable, just take notes and read, easy A.

Read your textbook (best textbook ever) and do the assignments to the best of your ability and you will do well in the class. Good choice for an online class. The material is interesting and he seems to value quality more than quantity when it comes to the homework. Take your assignments seriously, there are not that many of them. Do your best.

Dr. Rader is such a caring professor. He doesn't allow technology in the classroom; but, you shouldn't need it. He is very straight-forward, making assignments clear. He is willing to help with questions and has office hours. I think he's pretty funny. He tries to engage students and he is really relatable. He knows his stuff. Take him!

Dr. Rader has really engaging lectures. There are weekly readings and quizzes; but, they're online and you get unlimited attempts. Assignments take time but are do-able. Tests are average- just study your notes and what he hints at during class! You need the textbook for readings and quizzes. He's awesome and funny!

Dr. Radar is THE BEST psychology teacher that I have ever had! Highly recommend him!

Great professor! Attendance is mandatory but u get 3 freebies to miss class. Offers extra credit

He is absolutely AMAZING! He made every class worth coming to and very nice guy. Would definitely take him again. Very good at what he does. If you are taking Psychology take Professor Rader!

I want to start by saying I only got a C because I missed a few assignments and didn't study as much as I should have for tests but I never failed one. He is a great professor and he makes the class really enjoyable. He doesn't do accumulative tests, all tests are over specific chapters. There is also extra credit. All quizzes are online.

Love Professor Rader! Wish I could take more classes with him! His lectures are engaging and super interesting. I thought the psych class was pretty easy compared to a previous one that I took; but, there are some assignments that take more time. Prof Rader is really amazing and cares about your success! Funny too!

Loved this class and Dr. Rader he has amazing lectures and is available during office hours for questions and things. I highly recommend him for this class.

Wonderful teacher! If you want to learn, he will help you succeed! His classes are hard, but he is willing to answer any questions you might have! Office hours are also flexible. His lectures are amazing! Would highly recommend!

He's a really good teacher. I loved his class, his lectures are great, he's funny and engaging. You will learn a lot in this class and you'll enjoy it while you learn. He's readily available if you need to speak with him and very responsive to emails.

Professor Rader is passionate about his job and cares about each student. You can feel it through his lectures. Funny, engaging, and heart felt. I didnt find the class hard at but I imagine it can be if youre not truly interested in the subject. 3 major a exams & a final. Quizzes online with unlimited tries.(all multiple choice) & 1 or 2 essays.

Professor Rader was awesome! He was willing to meet with me for an hour just to discuss options for my future in psychology. His class was hard for me (but I am older and havent been in school for years) But it was manageable since I was willing to put in the work. Grades fair and gives good feedback!

Professor Rader was a great choice for intro to psych. There are so many options for one of these basic classes but Im glad I went with him. Hes a really cool and nice guy and very helpful, cares about his students. Take good lecture notes and youll be sure to get an A.

One of the most organized online courses I have taken. Good instructions. Easy to talk to. Was willing to do multiple Zoom meetings with me when I had questions. Be ready, critical thinking assignments are tough, but I learned alot! He provides good feedback, but you have to know how to find it on Canvas. Gave lots of info about JCCC resources.

Dr. Rader is a fantastic Professor! He gives very clear instructions and sets you up for success. He is a very fair grader and the homework is more than manageable. I have usually have a tough time with school but he made the course very enjoyable. The homework is reading over a chapter and then taking a quiz each week. 11/10 Professor!!!!

At first I was stressed out with the work load, but I have never had a class that felt so worth it when I was done. Professor Rader does his class in a way you will actually learn. If you are motivated, love to learn, and appreciate a professor that has their students get the grade they deserve, then take this class. He cares about his students.

I had Rader last fall during covid and he was great! He was clear on his requirements and will help you if you ask for it. The critical thinking papers were the most difficult part of the class, however, I can still remember most of what I learned and it's been helpful for other classes!

Dr. Rader is an amazing professor! He makes learning so easy and fun! He does a really great job at keeping you interested and involved. if you do the work and take good notes it's very easy! 10/10!!

Dr. Rader is a wonderful introduction to psychology professor!

Dr. Rader is a hilarious teacher and good person. I took his class out of personal curiosity for the subject, and although the subject itself wasn't everything I thought, Dr. Rader made the class extremely insightful, intriguing, and fun. He truly cares about his students and is easy to talk to. Take notes because his lectures contain vital info.

To be completely honest while I was reading his syllabus he seemed like he was going to be very strict, only thing he's real strict about is attendance. He is an amazing professor his lectures are really good and he even adds in his personal experiences which make them even better. Be ready to read and have weekly quizzes. 10/10 RECOMMEND!! :)

an amazing prof really made me love psychology and want to learn so much about it, lectures are so helpful he covers everything in class and the exams are very nicely laid out.

-Helpful professor -Easy to follow format -Tests are not hard if you have read the chapter/studied -Reasonable work load, nothing too demanding -Couldn't ask for more, no negatives

I loved being in Dr. Rader's class! He is able to capture anyone's attention in his lectures via his use of humor and facts in just the right way.

TAKE THIS CLASS. I have never loved a professor more. Theres 2 weekly assignments (smart book and quiz), 3 written papers that are mostly question and answer format. the lectures are engaging, don't even feel that time has passed when he says class is over. he tells personal stories that apply to the content and boy does this man have stories.

Pretty well thought out course, be ready to read the textbook because most of the assignments are smartbooks and then quizzes on the mcgraw hill website. Little annoying as there are 60 question quizzes and you have 3 tries to do it, but no notes and it's proctored online. But other than that if you read the material its pretty much word for word.

The homework and quizzes rely heavily on reading. (Time consuming but are not difficult if you understand the basic concepts/definitions.) Great lectures that will actually have you paying attention? Overall, very great professor/course. Would definitely recommend to take!

A smartbook assignment, a smartbook proctored quiz and 3 really easy papers. That was all this course was. The smartbook can be time-consuming but that's about it. Stories told in class are awesome and you can ask questions and he'll answer them to the best of his ability. I am studying business but loved this psyc class. don't attend class =F

Dr. Rader was amazing. I had his 8am class and I would never want to miss one of his lectures. His class was overall enjoyable. I would take any class if he was the professor. Highly recommend.

He was probably my favorite professor. Super funny and adds stories. He does do a lot of lectures, but it isn't bad. There is homework every week, it can be time-consuming so keep that in mind.

Dr. Rader is a phenomenal professor. He tells great stories that will always shock you. The only downside to this course was the homework. Instead of having a final exam, we had to do smartbooks and quizzes each week. The quizzes weren't bad but the smartbooks were terrible. They could range from 70-90 concepts, and they took forever. So be ready!!

Dr Rader is a baller. His lectures were very interesting and the homework and quizzes were reasonable. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Rader is an excellent professor. I normally don't enjoy classes where the teacher just lectures but Dr. Rader has extenive knowledge in psychology and has so many interesting stories that keeps you engaged. The best part about this class is that there are no in person tests or final exams. Easily one of my favorite classes!

Dr. Rader was an amazing professor. There's a heavy workload, but he's very caring and communicative. I loved this class and loved being in it.

Course was laid out GREAT! Dr. Rader is very caring. I had several Zoom meetings with him. The meetings were VERY helpful. He helped me with the course material. We also talked about my career goals and I'm not even going into psychology. Provided me with a LOT of resources. Don't hesitate to take Dr. Rader. He will help if you just ask.

Dr. Rader has great lectures where he applies his real-life experiences and encounters as a psychologist to the class content he is teaching, making it informative and entertaining. As long as you don't cheat on assignments you will do fine.

Dr. Rader is a hilarious, skilled, and overall amazing teacher who provides an amazing educational environment to learn about psychology. I will say he can be a bit of a tough grader and his SmartBook assignments, while not hard, take a while. Be ready to ready to take notes and pay attention. I would highly recommend Dr. Rader overall though.

Dr. Rader is an awesome professor who does everything he can to make his class as profitable as possible. Dr. Rader is also pretty funny and he has some interesting stories. The assignments will take a hefty portion of time and if you try and do it all in a day like I did you'll lose your afternoon. You can retake every test. There are no finals.

Dr. Rader has amazing stories that go right along with the lesson. I highly recommend taking him as your professor for Pyschology. There are quite a few tests. The tests are all online. If you do your work, get good grades on the tests, and show up for class, you should do well in this course.

His lectures really are amazing. At first his syllabus freaked me out and I thought he was a stickler & going to be difficult as a professor, but it was the opposite, he wants everyone to pass the class. There are pop quizzes every now and then but he literally gives you the answers. Theres a weekly smartbook & 1weekly chapter quiz. Take his class!

Dr. Rader's class is engaging and informative. The workload can be demanding, but he provides helpful resources like the free textbook and study aids like Unstuck study to support your learning. If you stay on top of assignments, you'll do well.

Dr. Rader is an excellent professor to introduce you to psychology. His lectures never feel like actual lectures, and he makes plenty of dad jokes! Smartbook assignments, quizzes, and like 4 writing assignments throughout the semester. He gives you the option to work ahead as well. Easy to contact and responds quick. Great class, great teacher.

Dr. Rader is honestly the best professor I have ever had; his lectures are very engaging. His pop quizzes are the easiest, only thing you have to worry about is keeping up with the Smart book assignments (McGraw Hill). They are long and tedious, but they help you do great on the quizzes. Quizzes are online with Proctoring enabled. No phones out.*

I enjoyed this class a lot! There was no final or midterm test just weekly a weekly quiz and assignment. The lectures are very interesting and went by fast you can tell he knows what he is talking about. I appreciate the way he structures the class and he gave an extra credit assignment.

Although Rader's class was lecture heavy it was my most interesting class. He told funny and interesting stories throughout his lectures. You are required to do a smart book and proctored quiz every week. He does not do test or finals. He throws in a few pop quizzes but for my class specifically we played silly games to get out of those quizzes.

God I could go on how much I loved this class but the word count sucks. Get ready for hw, but it's so easy that there shouldn't be any problems. No tests only weekly quizzes that are proctored, he's also points based so get over 900 pts and you'll have an A then you could literally do nothing else except show up at the end of the year.

Dr.Rader is by far the best professor I've ever had! You get out what you put in; if you apply yourself and engage in his class you will learn ton! Dr. Rader cares about his students and welcomes everyone with open arms. Also, he is full of an incredible amount of knowledge, so I highly recommend asking all your little questions :)

Dr. Rader is an amazing professor! His class was one of my favorite classes during my first year. His class is pretty heavy with homework, but it is very manageable especially if you use the entire week to work on it. He shows that he is always willing to help you succeed as long as you are willing to help yourself as well. overall amazing class

Amazing professor, shame he only teaches PSYC130. There are no exams, but the drawback is the Smartbook review can have 100-200 questions, make sure to have time set aside for it (can be done in increments over the week fyi). Class is always engaging w/ a variety of stories that connect to the subject. Great guy to talk to, even outside of class

Dr. Rader is great.I had him for an 8:00am class and I am definitely not a morning person but his class actually made me want to get up in the morning. he assigns a smart book and a quiz almost every week (i struggled a little bit on the quizzes) but as long as you do everything and don't miss class you should at least end the class with a B :D
