She is not a good teacher. She tries to help but is not really helpful. . I would not recommend taking her as a teacher. Attendance is mandatory and lectures are boring. She goes through assignments very quickly making them confusing. However, she is not the worst grader ever.

Knows her stuff Doesn't know how to convey it. Took her online course, D2L page was such a mess I had to spend half an hour every time I logged in re figuring out where everything is. The assignments (excel and access) have nothing to do with anything in the lectures. Bad lectures, slow, put on 2x speed or die. Better yet: DO NOT TAKE

Horrible, online class is beyond unorganized. Half the class left. Way too much work with terrible instructions and organization you dont even know whats going on

Do not take any online classes from her. It is extremely unorganized and the directions are way too vague. There is also a lot of work and it usually takes long to do because the instructions do not help at all.

Please AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Very picky teacher. She gives out feedback, but it doesnt help. If you ask for help she will tell you to look at the syllabus. Do not take her class.

Not a good teacher. Gives you all assignments on first day and doesn't let you know how to do any of them.

I took this online because of Covid-19. She is unsympathetic about grading and late work even with Covid-19. There is 50-page PowerPoint, a quiz, discussion post, excel assignment, paper, and group project assignment due every week. Her instructions are vague and unhelpful. She also is unhelpful and unavailable. AVOID AT ALL COST.

I took this class online b/c of Covid. I have never had such a bad experience with a professor than I have with her. Unsympathetic, rude, and misunderstanding are the first words that come to mind; she's very vague with her instructions on assignments and provides ZERO leeway with assignment deadlines. I'd give a 0 if I could, AVOID!!!!!

Too much homework, especially during COVID-19. I am constantly stressing about this class. Unclear instructions for all assignments.

Took this class online during COVID-19, worst choice ever. Professor was not very helpful and provided very vague instructions. does not help much when you email for help if you face any technical issues, it's on you to fix them. good professors are often kind and understanding of others' situations, always.

I have never left a review on Rate My Professor regardless of how good or poor a professor was at their job. The only thing this Professor is good at is making students confused and assigning an exorbitant amount of work that is unclear and complicated. It's not uncommon to sit down for at least an hour trying to figure out how to do an assignment.

The best advice I can give is to take the reviews on this class serious. Extremely difficult for an intro type class, entirely unclear set up. All in one week you will be watching weekly lectures, doing discussions, writing a group paper, doing a group project, taking a quiz, doing excel assignments, and more. You might fall behind in other classes

Diane Tarkowski is literally the worst professor I've ever had. I honestly just made an account on here so I could tell everybody: RUN -- do not walk -- as far as you can from her. She is extremely disorganized and unhelpful. I've never met a college professor who's been less inclined to help her students when asked. Stay away, you've been warned.

Too many assignments with too many specific requirements.

I made this account specifically to warn other students from taking this class. So far, she has been the worst professor on my educational path, and with this approach toward students, I do not think she should teach at all. She will give you multiple assignments, does not grade them for weeks. Her class is unorganized, materials and instructions a

The most degrading teacher I ever met. She copy and pastes feedback to every student and doesn't personalize it one bit. She yells at you for "bothering" her after 6:00pm. It is insane how teachers like this even get a job in the first place. A teachers job is to inspire, the only thing this teacher inspired was for half the class to drop out.

She is the only professor teaching this course who doesn't give answers or help students after projects are submitted. My friends with different professors got an easy A in this class, and everyone who had her got Bs or Cs. She is not helpful whatsoever and rude to those who ask for help. Whatever you do, do not take her class.

She makes this class unnecessarily difficult. She isn't the worst person but doesn't seem to care about her students. Her feedback isn't personal; just copy and paste. The worst of all if she mentions the day of the midterm that we will only have 40 minutes instead of 90. TAKE ANY OTHER PROFESSOR

Horrible. Why is she always screaming?

Refuses to give a good grade on the first turn in no matter how good it is. Makes simple topics overly complicated. Asks extremely vague questions and gets mad when nobody answers. Easy class made difficult.

Horrible DePaul do better

I cant believe tuition is so high and we have these types of professors, this is why I transferred out of Depaul into Loyola.

Had this class last quarter, worst class ever. Simple class bad professor.

I RECOMMEND TO CHOOSE ANOTHER PROFESSOR.

really bad class very confusing its a waste of time, she makes everything harder than what it has to be

Extremely condescending and rude professor. Not a hard class but a miserable atmosphere. Tried to get on her good side by speaking up during lectures and all i gained from it was snarky remarks and random call outs.

Rude and very very unprofessional

Horrible she is so condescending I will be talking to dean of students regarding the way she behaves. No respect to students at all, and we are paying tuition for this?!!!!!!!!

Horrible professor, and overall a bad person her behavior is bad. She says that the bad reviews are because this class is hard or its not part of your major but that has nothing to do with bad reviews.

Horrible.....

She's is extremely disrespectful to her students very condescending she thinks she is above of her students not sure why

disrespectful

Her teaching style is bad, often making students feel like they're not prepared for "the business world," despite the fact that some of us have more hands-on experience than she does. It's frustrating to constantly be told that we're not ready, when many of us are already working or have real-world exposure.

Honestly the worst class I've taken so far, she grades so tough and leaves such vague feedback. Not only that, her feedback is also very inconsistent and contradicts itself. If you absolutely have to take this class as a prerequisite, honestly just get it out of the way asap so you don't have to deal with it later. Otherwise DON'T.

She gives students the option to resubmit their work, which is extremely helpful, but not when assignments are graded two hours before the resubmission is due. Her feedback is very vague, making it difficult to improve your grade. Talks down to students. Not a great experience in the course overall.

Unclear grading criteria, uses copy and paste making it unclear what is needed. But the worst part is the way she talks to her students, unacceptable.

She refuses to ever give full points

So bad, try to avoid.

Horrible professor. Her lectures are confusing and disorganized, making it impossible to follow along. She's dismissive and rude when you ask for help, and her grading makes no sense. It's clear she doesn't care about teaching, just about getting through the semester. Avoid at all costs.

Bad professor, try to avoid.

Very easy class made hard.. Very disappointed that DePaul hires these type of professors.

This was the worst I learned nothing.. so bad

The review below mine is fake this is the right page and it is fake because attendence is a huge part of the class its measured everyday and worth a lot of oints not only that there is a huge project that has to be done in person and presented which is more points than final and midterm it is impossible to get an A if you do not attend

If you have any other choices for professors, take any other professors. She is so rude and favors students and will help them more than others. She does not take any opinions that do not match her opinions, and her classes are lecture heavy.

very bad teacher. super tough grader, gives no explanation for assignments, doesn't answer questions in class or over email. Only teacher option for this course is her. Mandatory course for my degree. Wish I could have taken at community college. Avoid at all costs.

You take daily quizzes over the textbook, which is overkill. She gives long lectures, is not engaging, and doesn't go over how to write in a professional business tone. She is just a bore. She needs to put more effort into her class. I have professors taking the time to be more engaging and even creating the textbook into a short podcast episode.

I normally don't review professors, but please avoid this one. You will save lots of time and unnecessary frustration.

Very odd approach to AI...relies heavily on AI detectors to GRADE WORK which are never accurate. Feedback is often unhelpful or unclear, and she tends to act like she knows everything. That said, if you try hard enough and get on her good side, you can get an A (the homework assignments make up most of your grade).
