Professor Diehl is a rare breed of professor. He actually cares about the student and makes an effort to get to know everyone. He is always there when you need him and not only tells you what you do wrong but how to fix your mistakes. Hands down one of the best prof. I've ever had. Definitely take him!

Nice guy but grades tough. I could understand if this was an upper level class but for an 1102 class he grades as if you should be writing a nearly perfect paper. It is important in college to always improve however not everyone is a great writer so I do not agree with the idea of you get the grade you deserve. Hard work should also be accounted.

I had Professor Diehl for HUMN 2010 and he was awesome. He wants to listen to what students have to say about the material and is very respectful. He's funny and easy to talk to and reach outside of class. Would definitely take again.

Easily the best teacher I have ever had. I took multiple different classes he offered purely because he was teaching it. Everything done in class is discussion based, but he makes it so easy and comfortable that even the most introverted person will still want to participate. He also gives by far the BEST feedback on papers of any grader ever

I absolutely LOVE Adam!!!! He is passionate about his job and really gets into teaching (He has ran across the classroom and screamed as an example a few times.)The biggest paper I had to write was 1800 words, and I only had to do that once. His class was one of the classes I actually looked forward to go to.

Mr. Diehl is a super cool guy. His class is very interesting not like a traditional English class. I 100% would recommend him for any course he offers.

Mr. Diehl is a hands-on professor who prioritizes participation and genuinely cares about helping students succeed. He provides detailed feedback, grades fairly, and is always understanding of individual circumstances. He's also very lenient with late work, making his class supportive and accommodating for all students.

The absolute worst professor I have ever had, he seems like he would be nice but he's so rude. He got mad I stopped coming to class while we watched movies. My grade down for participation from an A to C. Participation should not do that. He also gave my group a failing grade on ever project no matter what we did. Genuinely, awful, DO NOT TAKE!

Your grade relies on group projects and speaking in class. Takes ages to grade things. Syllabus said we could make up our participation grades, but he did not put in those grades until after classes ended? Not helpful and not clear on his expectations for group projects. Seems easy, but if your group is lazy like most of mine was, don't expect an A

Really solid guy. Had tons of energy everyday, even at 9 am and for classes where students didn't show up and there was 3-5 people in class. Loves what he teaches and makes class fun. Completely fair grader, with tons of extra credit opportunities that don't involve school (going to his band performances, etc). Can't recommend Mr. Diehl enough.

Mr. Diehl is an excellent professor—energetic, communicative, and respectful. He meets each student where they are and demonstrates a true passion for his work. His ability to share new perspectives is inspiring, and the variety of material in his course keeps things engaging. It's clear that he puts time and thought into his lessons.

Mr. Diehl is great! He is flexible on attendance as long as you have a valid reason to be out and you let him know why before or soon after your absence. He is also flexible with being late and leaving early. You write a lot, but he gives multiple chances to improve if you are not pleased with your grade. He also does a lot of readings/videos!

I would recommend Mr. Diehl to anyone! He's energetic, happy and overall a great teacher. He grades pretty lightly and if you try you'll pass. He's probably one of the best or the best English professor

Professor Diehl is an extremely laid back professor who really does care to see the success of his students. I am surprised to see the lower ratings for this course because it truly is not a difficult class. He provides clear instructions on all of his assignments and also provides POSITIVE feedback for each one as well. I would take him over again
