Absolutely the most arrogant professor in FGCU. Extremely difficult to follow. She was not very helpful and defensive when you question her grade. I felt the positive comments about her were highly over-rated. If you are sincere about working for an A, avoid this instructor.

I registered to take this professor, but some other person graded everything. Don't take on so many student if u push them off. Grading and feedback was simply ridiculous. You get points taken off papers for using college level words. You are supposed to expand your vocabulary in college but this class wants you to dumb down and use "simple words."

Most arrogant professor I ever seen. The class itself is designed very poorly. You have a class of 100 students, and 3 preceptors who are grading your work. The people who are grading the work are not even experts in their field. Also, the feedback is very vague and very generic. Overall, this was the worst course I ever had to take in FGCU.

Professor Dieppa never graded my paper. There are three preceptors, and the one I had, gave very poor feedback on writing assignments. You're pretty much dependent on the lessons on the computer. This was a required course for me, and a good online course to take from home for summer credit. Grading is tough, feedback is poor.

This is an online class where you are 100% independent and the professor just grades the work. The class is easy, the assignments are easy (currently have a 90%, A), this professor however is a TOUGH grader and gives no feedback at all. In a writing course there is no way to improve if specific feedback is not given. Manageable, not recommended.

Literally such a tough grader that is actually leaves me with my mouth open. Basically impossible to get a 100% on anything she grades. Luckily, the class is graded well enough that I am passing with an A.

Her online professional writing course doesn't require much time but it's very hard to get a 100% on anything she grades, she tries SUPER hard to take points off. What strikes me is how shockingly passive aggressive and rude she is in her emails and other communications; it's quite disgusting, especially for someone teaching "professional writing".

AWFUL professor! So glad I did not have her in person, online was bad enough. She addresses her student's as "pawdawans" and demands respectful emails. Very unclear syllabus (wrong dates) on when & where to do assignments. Has these silly "badges" that require you to go on campus when you're taking it online. She's a very vague, bad communicator.

The professor is the toughest grader and really aims to take points off of the most meaningless things. Impossible to get an A. If you ask her for any help she dumps you onto someone else or tells your to call tech support. Thanks

The most infuriating thing in college is taking an easy class but the professor makes it impossible to get an A due to her stubbornness. Dieppa makes the class way harder than it needs to be. She refuses to give anyone higher than a B on papers for no apparent reason. She would not even respond to emails if you didn't format them professionally.

Professor Dieppa grades SO HARD. She grades as if everyone taking this class had a Ph.D in English. She will take points off for anything and everything. It is impossible to get an A in this class as she will not give you higher than a B on any paper. Im not sure why she grades like this but it is unnecessary. Professor Dieppa is awful do not take

If you enjoy a decent GPA do not take. She will not give an A.

This professor is not willing to work with you at all. She will give instructions and then change them in an email so its confusing to know what to follow. She doesnt even grade most of her own assignments and all of the TAs grade differently as me and my classmates discovered

The most strict teacher I have ever witnessed. No matter how hard you work, dont expect more than a 70% on all of your assignments. If you use a similar template to other students on an assignment, you will get a 0 and either reported to the deans office or threatened even if the template is from the book. Beware of this teacher.

SHE IS TERRIBLE TO BE AROUND. Mean, manipulative, no problem humiliating individuals in front of the class. She’s on that “teachers high” where she just needs to assert her dominance 24/7. Everything she does is annoying. Slow af and can’t grade. She thinks she’s the best and everybody’s there for her. Like no sis I pay you.

Extremely tough grader on papers, received a B- on a paper due to it being "overly formal". I've never once had below an A on any essay written throughout the years; the grading is irrational and blatantly biased. Inconsistent grading along with sporadic assignments that have nothing to do with course content are reasons to avoid this professor.

Professor Dieppa treats her students like first graders. Constantly doing pop quizzes too "discipline" students who do not do the readings. She will tell you to put your phone away during a lecture just like you are back in high school. Not a hard class, but she makes it hard to sit through.

Do not take this professor I had her for LIT 2000 first and took her again for Professional Writing. She was nice at first but in this class, she was hard to work with. She grades way too harshly and inconsistently. She didn't grade an assignment for 2 months and graded it the last week of school. I would email her and she never responded to them.

Grades way too harshly on her papers. The average grade on her main essays is 70-75%, with the highest grade averaging at around 84%. She is very polite but when it comes to your work she will mark you down on everything.

So unresponsive. Clearly has no interest in the success of her students. Directions for assignments were poorly written out and corrections were not constructive. Should find a new profession because this definitely does not bring her any joy or fulfillment.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! There is no value; she is very late in grading and offers no constructive criticism. She fails to return emails in a timely manner. There is no logic or reason to her grading system, teaching methods or her review comments. As an educator, she fails in every respect, offering no encouragement or respect for her students.

I only gave her 1 star because 0 wasnt an option.

One star only because zero isn't an option. Easily the worst teacher I've ever had. Takes forever to grade, expects full understanding after explaining things once, and holds grudges. The class has 3 papers and a proctored final. Very political. This is the first time I've rated a professor, she was that bad. I'm surprised she still has a job here.

Don't take her class. Doesn't follow her rubric for grading, grades off how she feels. Doesn't include all extra credit in your grade. She gives a "study guide" for midterm and finals that pretty much just says look over everything from that half of the semester, it doesn't help at all. Just overall a waste of time class that is miserable to take.

Give useless feedback, overall condescending. Wayyy to many assignments. I would do what was asked in the rubric and still receive 77s every time. Would not recommend. Do yourself a favor and take literally anyone else for Professional Writing. I created an account just to warn people against taking her class.

Don't talk, don't go on phone, don't forget to read, don't talk to people in other classes, the list goes on. could have been a good professor but picks on students and has favorites.

Teacher gives out lots of work and was a struggle to work with. She showed no effort to help me understand her coursework and gave me little reasoning for bad grades.

Avoid her for LIT2000. She grades very harshly despite good work, especially on the few writing parts of this class(one of which includes sections of the final). Just avoid her. This school has good LIT professors. She is the only reason I don't have a 4.0. I have As in several STEM classes that should be way harder and take up less time than this.
