She is easy going and high spirited. The environment is so friendly

Could not find a better prof anywhere! I'd do anything for this woman!

Diane is all the things a professor should be.Couldn't ask for a cooler prof.

OUTSTANDING!!! All other profs should take notes. She made night class fun!!!

She knows the material and goes beyond her position to help you to learn it.

Good teacher willing to help you, very personable and likable

She is a great prof. that's very easy going and who is very excited to to teach.

she's great!!! awesome teacher

Lectures are concise and to the point. A great teacher.

Followed the notes to a T. Attendance not required to do well in class. But a good prof kept lectures somewhat interesting.

She was very helpful and made the class fun. You don't have to read much but take note you willneed them for the test.

Somewhat unclear, but always willing to help...Lots of fun! Makes class interesting!

Fun, energetic, learned more in her class than any other. Tests were confusing, multiple choice were poorly worded. Rather vague on expectations, but that's cause she wants you to think (I think) She deserves a smiley.

She make class interesting. She's energetic. She helps you a lot. She wants you to learn. She cares. You do have to work hard though.

She's very funny and keeps me awake at night. She can be confusing at times, but she does her best and I beleive she really knows her information, she just doesn't know how to get it out sometimes.

Great Prof. Take her for any PA class that you can.

Shes a great professor, its a really hard classs, but she gives you the confidence to make you successful. Id take her no matter what the class was - even if I didnt need it

Excellent instructor! Best one I have had in all my time at GVSU. She is courteous to the students, and wants to ensure that everyone learns the core concepts of the class, with no compromising of any important details. Highly recommend!!!!!!!

She is challenging, but she has taught me more than any other professor. She is very knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend her for either of the classes.

I'm not even a PA major and this woman has taught me more than any professor I've ever had at GVSU. Tests are difficult, but if you know the material and can apply it (which she WILL help you do!) an A is easy. I actually enjoyed going to this class because Diane is so great.

Frank is an awesome prof. One of the best I have had. She knows a lot about what she is talking about and wants to teach it all to you. Her tests are a little hard, but other than that her class is great and I am going to take her again.

Diane is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She is willing to help in any situation. Exams are a little difficult, but if you study up and are prepared, it's a breeze. Also requires group work, which isn't always great. If you can take her for any class, do it. You won't regret it.

Frank is great, I learned a ton about the nonprofit world. She is probably my most favorite prof to date and I would recomend taking her if you really want to learn. Her tests are a little difficult, but she prepares you well and if you study you will do fine. Frank is great!!!!

Diane is one of the best professors at GVSU. Highly recommended because she is thoughtful,helpful and easy to communicate with. Her tests are nothing to sneeze at though. If you get her consider yourself privledged, it's not easy to get into her class.

Diane is one of the best professors at Grand Valley. She is tough, but fair and always available to help. I learned so much about the topics and myself. This class has made me a better student and a better leader.

Great professor. Very energetic. Tests are on BB and she also has a review sheet for you and is helpful. I didn't like how she didn't give you a syllabus right away to see our reactions. She is a fair grader, just make sure to do the study guide before taking the test. This class makes u apply the concepts 2 real life examples. Has EC(random-ish).

This women is amazing. Never before have I learned so much in a class. Yes it is difficult incredibly useful, and she guides you through it. She is beyond helpful, she would do anything for you. Even pizza parties. Inspiring, compassionate, intelligent. everyone loves her.

Interesting...she's very intellegent, and her lectures are pretty straight forward. She gets too excited about this boring class, and she picks favorites. Overall its a good class...tests are on BB and are open note.

Kimoto was cool. She is very energetic and likes to talk about her son but it's cool. Tests are online and open note/book. But timed so do the study guides. They help. If u have her early in the morning she'll keep you awake. Just get to class and take notes. and use a lot of detail on tests and assignments

Kimoto is an awesome person. That said, the grading scale haunts you the entire semester (97%=A) and the tests are downright scary (between 4-10 essay questions, timed and online) so it is difficult to focus on material rather than fear for your grade. You will probably learn the same amount taking another prof, and with a lot less stress.

Dr. Kimoto is a great professor and very helpful faculty member of GVSU. She is always willing to answer questions and keeps you alert with her high energy levels. I couldn't of asked for a better instructor for this moderately boring class.

Kimoto is a very nice lady who is always willing to help you. Her Public and nonprofit class is extremely difficult because you have to look for examples to use on the essays in exams. Pay attention in class!!!

This class is VERY good and VERY time consuming. You will have to put a lot into it but you will recieve a lot out of it. Try and pair this class with other easy classes in your schedule. Kimoto will help whenever you ask- make sure to ask questions. She is energetic and at times hard to follow, but she wants her students to do well.

Diane is AMAZING!! She is so willing to help and know so much about public administration. She is constantly changing the structure of the class and test formats which makes things interesting but also frustrating. She is the best prof I have ever had and would recommend her for every PA class.

Diane is awesome. Really created a family culture in the class and was very passionate about the material. You have to put A LOT of time, work, and reading in to get a good grade, but she is willing to work with you whenever you need it.

One of the best profs you will ever have! Class can be confusing so take extra notes. No textbook so pay attention. She is willing to work with you on anything and will let you make up missing assignments. Take her class for sure!

Amazing prof. She's always available to help and clearly loves the job. Super passionate which makes the class really interesting. If you're taking a PA class try to get her.

There is no way you can fail this class. She WANTS everyone to get an A, and I wouldn't be surprised if everyone in my class did get an A. All exams are online, even the final. Sometimes it is confusing on when things are due but everything is pretty easy. Very nice lady, but talks about her son a little too much. Brought us candy all the time!

The class is comprised of a couple assignments, a final paper, a presentation, and a few exams which are on blackboard and timed (but you have plenty of time). You don't have class on exam days since the exams are online and she usually posts the exam early, which is nice. She is super nice& always brings treats. Don't stress about the presentation

WOW. What a fantastic Professor. Ignoring the massive quantities of free food she fed me in and out of class, I learned a lot from this woman. You get out what you put in, keep that in mind. If this is your field of interest, you should take PA 270, and PA 335 with Dr. Kimoto. She's the best. I wish I had more classes to take with her! - Big Bird

Pretty solid professor! You will be working on an entire grant for the whole sem. with a group of 4. It makes it easier if you choose an organization that she knows about because she can help you with missing information. She offers meaningful and helpful suggestions throughout the process. She always pushes deadline whenever needed. Super sweet!
