I really enjoyed his class! the tests were kind of difficult even after studying for them. Go to class, at least the lab so you can get your points and access to the weekly quiz. Those points will help your grade if you don't do especially well on the tests! Overall great teacher and you'll learn a LOT!

Prof. Radko was one of the best professors I have ever had. He is extremely funny, which makes listening to his lectures easier. His exams are pretty difficult, but if you attend lectures/ study with his powerpoint, you should be fine. If you need a lab and are looking for a good professor, he's the one!

3 exams. He makes his own exams and they all make you question if he even proof reads them. Questions are unclear and very specific. Power points are posted before exams. Powerpoint are more pictures than actual concepts. Will give you the material, but he teaches the basic stuff and then throws completely made up geological scenarios. Do NOT take.

Attendance is not required, but you must have attended or have a valid excuse in order for the quiz at the end of each lab to be opened. Very understanding and will work with you on any issue. Available to help. Breaks things down and makes them very simple. Show up and pay attention you will be fine. Also attend exam reviews they are very helpful

His lab was easy but his lecture class was very difficult his exams were very hard and he even mentioned that his exams are extremely difficult to pass I would recommend his lab but not his lecture class his PowerPoint aren't that helpful if you want a more helpful lecture teacher he is not it. His study guides for exams arent that helpful either.

this was the hardest class a freshman can take. do not take this unless you are majoring in it. powerpoints dont help and made taking notes absolutely impossible plus his exams are based off of notes and not the textbook. only good thing is that he is very nice and attendance is not mandatory but very much needed to get a good grade.

Without a doubt the best teacher I've ever had here. He is very laidback and treats the students like he's your best friend. The course he taught is quite possibly the easiest as long as you actually sit there and do the lab manual it's an easy A.

Professor Radko is a very nice professor however, if you do not pay attention in lecture you will fail the exams. You only get graded on lecture exams, lab participation, and lab exams.

Super nice guy and cares about his students. He is always willing to answer questions also. His lab is easy but his lecture exams are HARD. You have to study and know every little to detail in order to excel on the lecture exams. Lab exams are fair. Exams count a whole lot so do good on them, you also have to buy 100$ thing to do the homework

I really enjoyed this class, though it was my most difficult class of the semester. Professor Radko was very engaging in his lectures. His classes were mainly just lectures. I recommend studying all the PowerPoint to prepare for the tests rather than just focusing on his study guide. Professor Radko's lab was an easy grade if you did the quizzes.

Professor Radko is passionate and engaging, but the exams are no joke - you'll need to study hard. Thankfully, Unstuckstudy and the textbook are great study tools to prep. Attend class, complete the lab, and you'll learn a lot.

Overall, he's a great guy! He's a very down-to-earth person who'll work with you if you need help. The labs are fairly easy, and they're not graded. He gives a post-quiz afterward. His lectures are FULL of information, so make sure you study because his exams aren't easy. He gave out study guides for the exams, but they didn't help me.

Absolutely loved him as a professor. You must attend labs to pass the lab portion however he does not grade your lab. He releases quizzes after the labs as attendance. I am horrible at attending class but his labs were enjoyable. He has a great way of teaching and lab test are fairly easy. Definitely recommend

Amazing Professor however his lecture exams are pretty hard and take a lot of studying. Attendance isn't mandatory but definitely recommended. His final exam is only bonus points which can help your grade a lot depending on your previous test. Connect is the other grades you receive in the class which are graded on completion but not your score.

i had him just for lab for environmental geology, but he was really nice and actually got to know you outside of you being his student. he was really caring about everything and we didn't have any homework outside of class other than post lab quizzes. he gives you a heads-up for everything upcoming and the tests weren't that hard at all
