Hands down Mrs. Diffenbach is the BEST prof at FCCJ. I cant remember a teacher who will work with you (PERSONALLY) on your writing and how you can make it better. The only two ways a person can fail the class is if (1) a person dose not come to class, and (2) is a person plaqerizes a paper (which she does NOT tolerate).

Basically it's 3 1k word essays (not that hard) and 10 100 word journals (Very Very easy). There is one midterm (easy) and no final for perfect attendance. Highly recommend.

I don't know what the hype with her is about. She grades very harsh on all your papers. She will NOT teach you how to become a better writer. You're ON YOUR OWN basically. Just a news flash for those people bragging about not having to take the final, it only counts as 5% of your grade. My advice, take someone else.

She goes the extra mile for you if you and allows you to bring papers to her before they are due for corrections. Show up to class, turn your papers in on time, and do the homework if you meet all three of these things you should at least get a B.

I chose this teacher because of the seemingly great reviews on this site. THEY ARE ALL WRONG. This professor was exceedingly anal about insignificant details. Although she stated that the practice paragraphs didn't have a rubric, I was counted off for not using APA/MLA style. And when I did use one, she stated it was still wrong. I could never win!

I took 3 of Mrs. Dieffenbach's classes and enjoyed them all. (ENC1&2 and ENG2100) She's very firm about her attendance/ tardiness policies but also very up front about the rules and expectations. I learned a lot from her.

There were 7 modules, pretty much each module had a discussion, paragraph, quiz, and essay. Plenty of time to do everything in a full semester. Barely any reading. Not a tough grader, I made a lot of mistakes and still made good grades. Responded to my questions in just minutes, very helpful!

Dominique is an absolute gem! I took her for my first college class, and I was so nervous, but she's amazing. In both ENC1101 and ENC1102, there are three papers you have to write, but they are not bad. She even offers to check over your paper before you turn it in and correct any mistakes. I took her for every class I could. I love her!!!

She is very clear on what she expects from you. Attendance is important for this class, but she allows one absence that you can make up. The grading rubric was clear and she allows you to resubmit the paper again with revisions to improve your grade. She also allows you to submit up to a week late if you cannot make the deadline.

I would not recommend to anyone. She grades assignments vey harsh. The last essay she had us write the median grade was a 37%. Stay away! She doesn't care about your success or grades. This is a first year writing class where you have not been taught anything and expects you to write like you have a masters in writing and communications.DONT DO IT!

Terrible. You can never do anything good enough; I was so excited to kick start this English class. All she did was ruin my confidence when it came to writing. Not one actual lesson.

Very bias grader, Will fail you if the topic you write on is a topic she doesn't like. Especially if it's about the lack of educational resources. Does not like to teach or help. Will straight up ignore you and give you little to no feedback about the grade. Will deduct major points for little errors that aren't even on the rubric. Will argue too.

Dominique is a tough but fair grader. Her class has a lot of writing assignments, but using unstuckstudy ai and the provided feedback really helps. Overall, a challenging but rewarding English course.

Horrible teacher, and her grading is horrendous she will grade so hard even on a discussion. She always wants to find something wrong and deducts so many points for no reason. She even gave homework for spring break while she was on vacation and wouldn't answer her emails or take her time to grade assignments.

Dieffenbach is a tough grader. I do not recommend this professor if you want an easy A. You must be present for every class, write every essay, and take every quiz/test. Even if you do all those things to your fullest, you are not guaranteed a good grade because of how she weights each item. As she says, you get the grade you deserve.

Honestly, it's time for her to give up teaching. Professionalism should always be maintained. She uses AI to check if we used it on essays, yet she uses it herself. How can she tell us not to use AI while doing it? To me that is just backwards. I passed because English is easy, but if it's not your strongest subject, stay away! I warned you lol.

Professor Dieffenbach is a tough grader but is also understanding when situations happen. When asked for help or more clarification she always responds and helps. Class was easy but grading was hard, I am terrible with sentence structure. Make sure to take notes and that you understand for the quizzes.
