Her notes are very messy, if you miss a class it's hard to understand the material as there are no lecorded lectures and notes are very messy. Lecture focuses on definitions and concepts, but not enough problem solving which is the chief aspect of the class. gives homework that we havent covered material for and covers material one day before due.

Dahlke was a run of the mill professor. Neither good or bad. She responded quickly and tried her hardest, but oftentimes her responses seemed insufficient. She wasn't horrible in the sense that students hated her, but she also wasn't respected as the savior of chemical engineering.

Dahlke responded to emails quickly and was typically very fast to help any questions that you brought up to her, but oftentimes I found that her responses were very lackluster. The lectures are needed for understanding the course, and discussions are extremely useful. She often exercised her power to remove students from class.

Definitely on a power trip. Dalke has thrown students out of class for being "disruptive", when no one could hear them. Assigns LENGTHY weekly homeworks, but they are the only way to learn in this class so I suppose they are needed. Exams are hard and often feel too long for the alloted time. Replies quickly over email, probably the only plus.

Often very demeaning to all students and talks down to them. She speaks very slowly and her cadence is very difficult to pay attention to. If anyone is whispering in class, she will threaten to throw them out of the class even if they are not disruptive. Her yelling at students for talking is much more disruptive than any student has ever been.

Dr. Dahlke is a very caring professor, especially during office hours. Exams/quizzes were long and challenging, but everything got curved at the end, so don't get too stressed. Many stduents, including me, didn't like how much "hand waving" we had to do in this class, but thermo is just hard. We simply don't have that much time for math derivation.

Not sure why Dahlke has such low reviews. The exams are hard and long but welcome to engineering. Class/exams are curved so it all gets normalized. She cares about student success and is eager to help if you ask. Some don't like her personality, but I think she's just a smart, strong-minded woman. That rubs some people the wrong way I guess.

Dr. Dahlke was a decent professor for the most part. She was able to explain many concepts at a level understandable to anyone. However, when concepts got difficult, she became openly frustrated and wouldn't attempt to explain further to students that were behind. Additionally, she is incredibly rude and condescending toward others.

Exams/quizzes/projects can be graded very harshly by this professor. Even though I a received an A in the class, I think that she is a terrible professor. Is she good at explaining general concepts? yes, but does she give you a clear/detailed explanation if you ask for the derivation of some equation? No, she would tell you "we used hand waving".

Teaching style is too casual and not intellectual. Poorly explains where points were missed, and keeps exam averages extremely low. Condescending towards students. Teaches out of the textbook, and conveys the material okay.

Professor Dahlke has very high expectation for introductory coders. While this class was difficult, it is evident as the years have passed that she has adjusted the class, to help create more reasonable expectations. As I have had her for future, classes it is evident she cares about the students, especially if you communicate with her.

The lab itself is fine but grading criteria is very inconsistent and harsh. Final grade is very TA dependent. High workload especially at the start. Lots of emphasis on "professionalism" (aka unnecessarily strict rules about formatting plots, tables, etc. Nobody gets to tell me I can't put gridlines on my graph, how am I supposed to read it??)

Dahlke does an amazing job running 324. Labs are well-organized, grading criteria is very clear, and she manages the course load (mini-memos, memos, reports) around the majority of students' exam schedules. The final project at the end of the semester is very enjoyable, and she offers some easy extra credit. I highly recommend her for 324!

Her idea of short quizzes was bad and the project was long and useless

The worst professor I've ever had. An offensive amount of work assigned. Three projects each of which take 40+ hours, an exam, a quiz each week, a large hw each week. The projects and hw have nothing to do with the content learned in class. She told us she graded our second project while watching baseball at a bar. Avoid at all costs.

Dr. Dahlke's courses never cease to take up all of my free time, only to be graded on ridiculously harsh criteria.

Bad professor. Vague in project rubrics, not helpful when you ask for help. Lecture attendance isn't mandatory but caveats come with that. Insanely tough projects, graded very strictly for an intro MATLAB class. Rely on googling syntaxes for HW and projects. Quizzes are pointless and too fast. Stickler for cheating. Good luck, you'll need it. :(

Not the best. Grading is strict & instructions can be very unclear. Ask if you're unsure-you WILL lose points for misinterpreting vague details. Projects are tough & require content not seen in class. Expect many hours of work on them. She is usually willing to help. Participation can get you a HW drop but otherwise attendance isn't needed.

Professor Dahlke made it very clear she didn't care about her students or their mental health during a pandemic. Her projects were an insane amount of work often taking more than 70 hours. Her expectations were never clear on the rubrics she provided. Her grading was also very harsh considering she never stated her expectations.

Genuinely a great teacher to learn MATLAB. A lot of upperclass students who had previous professors are not comfortable using MATLAB for classes like CBE 311, 324, 326 etc. but her class is like MATLAB bootcamp. You'll come out with a decently strong understanding of using the program, but beware of long homework and projects.

She made 7 midterms, each weighing 10%. Each midterm last 30min, and once you make a mistake, you have no time to go back.

Dr. Dahlke is super helpful & clearly cares about her students. I took this as a sophomore with no coding experience, so this course was definitely a lot of work between asynchronous tutorials, synchronous lectures, homeworks, quizzes & the project, but everything was graded fairly and I learned a ton. Extra credit & late tokens were a huge plus.

Professor Dahlke is the nicest professor I've ever had. She really values our mental health in addition to our academic success, and her flexibility made this class really low stress. This class had pre-recorded lectures to teach core concepts and synchronous time was spent on examples/clarifications. Future semesters' exams will be project-based.
