AF 703 is one of the best class I took in UW-Madison. Professor Agoke is excellent at showing the step by step process of teaching methods. Her class is one of the best.

Class is based on discussion and class participation. Adeola is a sweet, caring, and intelligent woman I loved her as a professor! She explains each discussion topic in class so discussion/debate was always in-depth. The final is a research paper, was not hard at all and we worked on it throughout the semester. Overall the class is super insightful

Dr. Adeola has to be one of my favorite professors at UW-Madison hands down. She really wants to help you become a better writer, and offers great feedback. She also comes to class with a smile which creates a welcoming vibe. I have developed my critical thinking and communication skills while taking this class and have learned a lot.

More than any other course I have taken at UW-Madison, this class made me a better student and person. Dr. Agoke genuinely cares about her students and wants them to learn and succeed. Participation is mandatory but she is understanding and assists you if it is difficult for you.

Participating in class is necessary in order to succeed. Adeola makes it clear what she does and does not like so you can take that information going forward with papers. She obviously cares about the class and tries to make it engaging but there is not always much to discuss from the readings.

Adeola was my favorite professor at UW, and I'm a senior so that's a huge compliment! She is CARING and compassionate. She expects students to engage in the course content, and if you don't participate or do the readings, you will get nothing from the class. I would recommend her to anyone. Daily discussions, 1 big research paper, attendance is key
