knows her stuff...you're relatively run of the mill art historian and classics professor

No quizzes or hw (for CLA 10C), but you CANNOT miss a lecture. You must read everything. The tests will be your grade in the class so do well on them.

Very cool professor. She's very witty and entertaining. No final in the class, but 3 exams (the last of which is worth 40% of your grade). I really enjoyed her class.

I love Raschke!! SHe explains everything in detail and it is a very interesting course. No HW or final. 3 midterms, but don't miss lecture

didn't like her teaching style-at the beginning, she said she wouldn't have us write papers cuz it's lower division course, but we ended up writing 3 essays-1 for midterm in-class, and 2 for the final! grrr......

She is a non goofe-off teacher, take her only if you are serious about learning what she teaches. Quite hard, as she assumes everyone knows the basics. Extra credit is rare. Good luck haggling over grades. Overall I enjoyed the class.

tough as nails. don't take her class if you buffoon around

best teacher/class i took at Rside hands down.Her accent and material is very interesting.Classes are a must.Reading is not mandatory but can help. Took two classics classes with her-aced both of them not reading although i attended every single class.

if you do not go to class...DO NOT TAKE THIS!! i made a HUGE mistake of taking her because there's no book that reflects her lectures..and her tests depend on her lectures which i missed...but fairly easy grader

she was nice, unless you interrupt class(ex: cell phone goes off, or you enter more than 1 minute late)Otherwise she was very clear about what she wanted us to learn and never put anything on the tests that she didn't emphasize or make sure we knew. I say take it but be prepared for a lot of reading

she was a great prof.

good class, very interesting, however she is strict. but you really do have to go to every class, tests are straight from lecture. does have handouts that you can follow along with and have the spellings, and use those to study with for exams. she is serious about what she teaches, and it shows.

In my 10A class, there wasn't a whole lot of reading, and what we did read was easy. You do have to go to class and take A LOT of notes because questions on the exams are based on that. It's a really interesting class though. I got a B+. She nice and funny too!

I loved her and her classes. They really taught me the interesting aspects of history. Yes, she can be mean, but only to those who don't respect history or school in general.

Dr. Rashke is a good teacher and a good person. Yes, she is tough. But she knows what she is talking about, and she cares about students who bother to care as well.

Very difficult class. Good professor. High-paced class. Used an out of print book, though. I would have liked to see her use a newer, more updated textbook.

the course is difficult and very goes at a rapid pace. she knows what she is talking about but is a very impatient and likes to use the humiliation methods to scare students into learning. She is nice and pays attention only to those students who do extremely well. A very knowledgable person but not a very patient and understanding professor.

chill out people. shes super cool. the people that dont like her dont do their work. shes really easy to talk to ans shes one of my favorite teachers. relax and start putting in some effort. shes a good professor, i have an A in her class.

I have taken her for CLA 50,10A, 10B, Latin 1,2...and I absolutely LOVE HER. She is a true British Professor and demands respect. As long as you are punctual take good notes, ask for a review and sit in the front; she is very knowledgeable and witty. She is somewhat hard to approach, but fun once in her office. Just don't ask stupid questions.

Great professor, knows her stuff, and is very helpful and willing to answer questions during class, as well as during office hours. Only thing is you gotta go to her for help, she does move a little quick at first til u get used to the speed. She does kinda treat college students like high school students at times. Good professor though!

She speaks and goes through slides a bit fast at times, so you have to be quick. I have to agree that the grading set up of the class is ridiculous - 3 exams, and that's it. Her grading for the tests is erratic - 1st midterm I got a 69, 2nd midterm I got a 100, and the final, I have yet to see my grade. To be safe, change the grading basis to S/N

It was definitely not the easiest class in the world, but as long as you pay attention you should have no problem passing. I found that in review sessions that if she or the TAs went over anything specifically then it wouldn't be on the test. She's very funny, and I would definitely take another class with her if I am able.

There was a lot of misunderstanding between me and this professor. She was very cruel and mean and said that I was never doing my work; but I came from a different place where my method although flawed still was respected and got the job done. I told her off! Although I made a poor impression on her, I did okay gradewise.

LOVED THIS CLASS! Although I suggest that you have an interest in greek/roman mythology - it's a lot of greek/roman lit. The class was like Clash of the Titans in detail. There's no discussions but taking notes of THE THINGS SHE SAYS really helps. It might seem useless, but jot it down 'cause it might be on the midterm. I had fun in this class!

Professor Raschke teaches one of the hardest classes I've had. I won't lie, I did not pass Latin 2 the first time around, mainly because I wasn't taking it seriously. Now, it's a breeze. She knows her stuff and is extremely smart. But her fast-paced teaching and assumptions that all the students understand the material 100% is a little hindering.

Classes are somewhat relevant to the tested material. She tends to go off on tangents a lot in her lectures since she is very interested in the material. Nothing impossible, if you attend lecture and can stand her pretentious comments without losing interest, you'll do fine.

Latin is my hardest class,yet Raschke is my favorite prof. She is a bit dry at times, but has a definite sense of humor. Very willing to help students out and very concerned about her students' wellfare. Overall a great teacher and a very productive class.

This is by far my hardest class. However, Dr. Raschke is one of my favorite professors. She helped me out so much when I don't get the material. If you take this class, STUDY STUDY STUDY & learn the vocal & declensions early. It will be wise to do that in order to help with the other Latin classes.

I really like her. She is enjoyable and the topics are interesting. Her slides do not have very many words so you have to listen carefully. Her tests are short answer form but if you pay attention and study it's not difficult.

She is an interesting professor, attending the lectures were fun due to not having discussion, but I felt like they were needed. Although I went to lecture and read the material, ended up failing 2 out of the 4 tests because I wasn't reading close enough. Remember dates, time periods, figures and the works. If you don't study hard, you're screwed.

Being with her for a year to learn Latin, I've grown pretty fond of her- but learning language in 10 weeks is difficult, and obviously must be fast paced. Do your homework, study, and go to class and you'll pass.

This class is extremely average.I usually love ancient history, but the professor just did not do it for me. There is nothing particularly interesting about her lecture style. The class has no energy.

I was interested the topic so I enjoyed the subject a lot. It is CRITICAL to do the reading and taking extensive notes to do well on her free response exams. Class isn't really exciting but it's okay. If you want to do well, attend lectures. 3 Midterms, no final.

A solid professor of Latin, at times funny and at other times demanding. In her class(es) expect to work hard for a good grade.

Dr. Raschke expects much from her students and for many its too much for them. The work is constant and hard, Latin is a difficult language, but she is always available for help and wants her students to succeed. Do the homework and review every night and you'll do fine, its language! It requires commitment to learn.

I've taken all three classes in her CLA010 series and she is a very difficult professor, however if you do take the time to go to class and do the readings you will gain quite a bit from her classes. A lot of what I've learned in these I've been able to apply to other classes. Also, she is intimidating but is much more approachable one-on-one.

I know many people find this to be a very difficult class, but if you go to lecture and take notes, it is very do-able. If you pay attention, you do not need to read the textbook. She is a great professor and truly cares about her students. I have now taken three classes with her and I'm taking two more next quarter. Go to class!!!!

She's a great professor! Make sure you're taking notes during lecture! DON'T JUST WRITE WHAT IS ON THE SLIDE!!! Listen to her speak and write from there. She will emphasize what will be on the test so pay attention! Definitely go to class because if you do go and pay attention and take notes, you don't really need to read the book!

Don't underestimate Professor Raschke! Latin is a difficult language and she will give you lots of work (and lots of help) to understand it. She's a no-nonsense teacher but ultimately if you wanna tank your own grade she doesn't care. You have to decide to put in the effort. Overall the class is not harsh as long as you study.
