I try to give mixed reviews, but really, there is nothing good to say. She is unclear about assignments, is totally unable to answer student questions during class, and her tests have an inordinate amount of bogus unrelated questions. She doesn't post notes or do reviews before exams, so if you didn't write it down in class, thats it. AWFUL!

I did not like this class and really feel I learned very little. The teacher just reads the power-point slides. It`s easy but I would not recommend it to a friend. Poor quality.

The only professors I've had who were worse than her, well, I dropped the courses. I HAVE to take this class and can't miss work to go, so she was my only option. She blathers on about things for 40 minutes, then tells you not to worry about it, she won't test you on it. I'd rather have a root canal once a week than attend her class, but no choice.

Her slide shows are super confusing, and so are her studyguides for exams. In one of her study guide, she literally just gave you a list of artists names, and it's your problem to figure out what to study and what to skip. I am an A student with logical thoughts and well-organized study plans, but I can't put up with her.

I cannot believe how long & confusing her lectures are. She is just all over the place. She makes you stay untill the very end of a 3 hour lectures because she can't leave out some unimportant parts. If you are a freebie in Art History, DO NOT take her - she won't define her terms. She told us people yelled at her, well I'm not surprised.

One of the worst classes and professors, seems like a nice lady but not a great teacher. Expect to take tons of notes at an extremely fast pace and have weekly quizzes. Material is somewhat difficult so expect to invest a lot of time studying if you want at least a C. Not an easy C to earn let alone A. Strongly advise not to take this professor.

By far one of the worst Professors I've taken. I have never seen a professor so dismissive of students desire to learn. If you ask a question that expands on the information, expect to be told, "don't worry about it, it's not on the test". She often misspells and mispronounces terms, and refuses to lecture at a reasonable pace for note taking

Terrible teacher. Refuses to use D2L to post lecture slides, but expects slide memorization. Withholds necessary information until the last minute, Study guide not give til week before big test, info that slides were available online not mentioned until class before test. The worst

One of the worst professor i have ever taken. Makes you read at least 100-150 pages from the textbooks in the span of 4 days but only has 15-25 questions on the quiz. Her quizzes never make sense and is 150% unclear .IF your an A student i highly recommend that you not take her otherwise your GPA will drop. Never taking her again ever.

Absolutely the most disorganized professor I have ever had. She takes forever to grade anything. Doesn't respond to emails for at least a week. Gives pages and pages of reading homework for a weekly quiz that barely contains any of the given assignment.

I am taking her online ARTH 300 class. She is "the worst professor" in all of higher education history. Her weekly quizes cover 10 % of the 100's of pages required for reading(1 min per question). Her style of teaching is nightmarish. The success of her students is the least concern of hers. My advice is "don't take her ever". Major regrets.

This is by far the worst at communicating teacher I have ever had. I still have emails from when class started that have not been replied to. You will not get emailed back if you emailed this professor with any issues that need to be resolved right away. Other than that, this is by far one of the easiest classes I've taken. Quizzes can be unclear.

I highly recommend any straight A student to avoid this class. I took 21 units this semester, and this was by far my most stressful, time consuming class. You will read 100 pages aweek. weekly quizzes must be word for word what book said. The quizzes have multiple answers with same words(good luck guessing which one is right). Run while u still can

I am a 38 year old return student. I have seen a few pretty awful teachers, however I think Diane is by far the worst. She's just like a little girl and wants everything her way. Her style of teaching is input/output. She hates when you ask questions. She gives a ton of extra credit. The material is easy, just do the reading.

Never failed a college course in my life until I took this course, which I assumed was easy when I signed up for it. She has multiple spelling errors in her quizzes and exams, some words impossible to read. Her quizzes do not make sense and sometimes the questions have more than one correct answer. If you care about your gpa, do not take this class

I usually am okay with professors that are disorganized and slightly bad at teaching online, but her teaching style is insane. She doesn't even follow her own syllabus. She was supposed to give us 50 questions on the exam and a time limit of 50 mins, which is already impossible to do. Then, gives us 52 questions on the exam instead. okay.

Get ready to read! With over 30 pages of reading for every lesson and multiple lessons and then a quiz with only 5 question and you have only 5 minutes to take it. Worst professor I have taken, save yourself the stress and don't! There isn't a balance in homework and tests its only tests!

Do not take her please she is rude unprofessional. Very disorganized, and contradicts herself in every class. Constantly changing the syllabus and due dates. Half way through no major papers or midterms. The second half as all you points on things you Learned the previous month. 8 quizzes 2 midterms 4 papers 1 final 100 pages of reading a week.

Honestly, worst professor of of all time... she doesnt care about her students, her test are very hard!! And she only gives 50 minutes for 52 questions!! You barely have time to read the question.... about even the usual class time is an hour and 30 minutes. Seriously school should do something about this professor and change her!!!

I'm pretty flexible when it comes to dealing with tough situations but this class topped the cake. Deadlines and die dates were changed frequently, 3 papers were due with in the same week because she was behind on everything. There were alot of quizzes but the worse thing was her attitude.

Horribel teacher, I had her and she is never on time for grading, answer questions via email too late, sometimes doesn't respond at all, and doesn't teach the course well at all.

I took Art History 300 because I thought it would be interesting and my major is Interior Design so I thought I would get a lot of out it..... I did not. She says on her syllabus that she is available via email but rarely does she respond. Her tests are very difficult and the "study guides" aren't that helpful. Way too much reading!!!!!

Don't take this class. I'm a nursing major and in several difficult classes and just added this online class to get my art GE's completed and that was the biggest mistake of my life. No matter how hard I study and look at the "study guides" which are not even study guides, I cannot get higher than a C- on the tests. She also doesn't reply to emails

Where do I begin? She does NOT answer emails. The reading is beyond ridiculous and get ready to memorize every little fact that you read because the tests are long and you get one minute per question. So you do not have time to look at notes or really think about it. Take this class if you love art and want to read for three hours a day about it.

Didn't answer several of my emails and IF she did it would take a couple of days to get a response back. You will be lucky if she even responds to all your questions in the email. Tests are 1 min/question. Had to explain her own syllabus to her. Relies heavily on the textbook. She will refuse to acknowledge your situation and will not work with you

I'm pretty good about taking accountability, so when I say her tests are awful, I mean it. The timing is fine, but 1/3 of the questions were on pieces or artists never covered, or had sneaky ways of asking. You HAVE to follow her study guide or you'll fail, as her questions can be pointless. Readings should have taken 90mins took 6hours with her.

Lots of reading. Complete waste of time. Do the optional study guides on your computer so you can "search" for answers during the quiz/multiple midterms/final or you're f-ed. 10+ pages of study guides per week. All tests are 1 question per minute. Ridiculous. Tedious. Nothing learned and poorly arranged modules. Take something else if you can.

I absolutely regret taking this class since it required so much reading that half the time did not seem useful in quizzes that are 1 minute per question! I followed her ridiculously long study guide which barely helped me on exams. This class took up so much time from other classes. Definitely don't recommend it, save yourself the stress.

She was the worst teacher that I've ever had. She took weeks to respond to messages, even when I had a medical emergency. Did not fix grading mistakes she made, even when made aware of said mistakes. She acted bent out of shape when people didn't want to go on a field trip during the height of covid. Absolutely terrible! Stay away!

I have never been more repulsed by learning about art in my life. I've always been artistically focused, but she made the topic dull, disinteresting, and dreadful. There was something so off about her having a mandatory textbook for the course that she wrote herself... only available to purchase from the link she gave...

Took her for ART 117B at Sac State and I regret it. Diane is not accessible outside of class, course was not organized, had no idea what she was doing and crammed her class schedule by posting her lectures or assignments much later than promised. Mostly discussion posts and exams. I truly tried my best but it was just so difficult following her.

I did not like her

My first B after a 4.0. I would argue that you DO need the textbook because she went an entire month without uploading any lectures with no extensions on the assignments about them. I found assignments confusing and not related to major points in the material, closed-note and timed exams, and very slow replies/grades. Overall, I wouldn't recommend.

I had Diane for Chinese/Japanese Art History at Sac State. She would go into Canvas and change the syllabus without notifying anyone, would not show up to office hours, and would not reply to emails. I truly believe she has no actual experience with Asian art history as quiz answers contradicted what was in the textbooks.
