Great teacher, I love her! She is hilarous and always there for her students. Class is mandatory, but she makes it fun and interesting so going isnt bad at all. I would take any class that she teaches because she really just makes everything so interesting. She never judges anyone and is a truly fair grader. I Highly Reccomend Her!!!!!
best teacher ever. she makes learning easy. she is always there for her students.Her classes are fun and short. If you want to pass comp,take her.
Best prof at BCCC!!! High expectations, but always there to help students. Very, very smart but not intimidating at all.
Dr. D transformed me from a book hating engineer into someone who only slightly dislikes reading and writing. It doesn't sound like much, but if any professor is going to change your attitude about literature, this is the woman to do it.
I would take ANY class Dr. D. teaches. She cares about us, demands we do our very best and always keeps our interest. I am excited about writing for the first time in my life and am ready to take the next classes. WE LOVE YOU, DR D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most HILARIOUS teacher in the world. Had her two semesters ago still go to her for help!! One of the best, does it for the students, not the crappy pay!
An amazing teacher!!! Very fun class i did not want it to end. give you guide lines and is very helpful. i def. gained and learned a lot about understanding what your reading. i hated to read but the short stories she picks out are great!!!
This is the second class I have taken from Dr. D. and I wish I could take ALL comp and lit with her. Prof. D. is a brilliant teacher, fair grader, and the course really is all about learning. I was excited to come to class everyday. Bonuses: a sharp dresser (looks just like a prof!) with a wicked sense of humor.
I am a student at a major university and took this class during the summer to catch up on my GE. Dr. Diamond is the best writing teacher I have ever had, she could teach at any school and be succesful. She knows how to lead students to actually care about literature and writing and showed us how we can apply these things to our own interests.
Dr. D was one of the best professors I ever had. I would recomend that anyone take her for Comp. She keeps the class interested and is always willing to help
good teacher. 10 little quizzes. class was kind of boring. the 10 page paper sucks but it goes by pretty easy. every other class you bring in the page requirement she asks for and before you know it you're done
Very smart lady & a good teacher! the class isn't a breeze, but it's not hard either..as long as you do your work, you'll be fine..shes a veryyy nicee ladyy and very open minded as a teacher...she is a fair grader, a fair teacher, & wil help you if you need help even though you most likely wont need help..definitely a good TEACHER & a nice lady!
I LOVE DR DIAMOND!!!!!!!!! If you want to really *learn* about literature and writing, this is the class for you. She is brilliant, funny and compassionate. I'll take any class this prof teaches.
Dr. Diamond is one of the most approachable professors at bucks.She is very intelligent and actually takes the time to help her students. When I thanked her for helping me she replied "that's my job" I admire her. take her class-if you have questions-ask- she is the best professor i have encountered ever! She helps you learn and is very patient.
Prof D rocks my world! If you have to suffer through Comp2 this is the prof to take. Funny, helpful, fair and likes groundhogs.
Dr Diamond is awesome !!! Extreme professional,strict but compationate.Dr Diamond makes our work very easy. She makes you want to learn in a fun way. I admire her quiet but humble ways. A beautiful person both in looks and in attitude. Saying she is hot does not do her justice! She is the best professor that I had ever had. A great asset to BCCC.
An incredible teacher and compassionate human being. Dr. Diamond tells everyone the first day of class that she is there to help students be successful and if you stick with her class and put in your best effort, she'll teach you things about literature and writing that can be life-changing. She was right and I will never forget this class.
a SMART and CARING prof who will make education matter in your life. This was my 3rd time trying to pass 110 and Professor Diamond promised that we could 'pass it together' if I kept up my end of the work. ANd I did!!!!! She treats ALL students with dignity and challenges us to examine our thinking. She's scary smart, but not arrogant and scarey
Dr Diamond can make any subject interesting. She is caring,extremely intelligent, and makes learning easy. I look forward to going to her class. She is the first teacher ever to get me to read a book, cover to cover, and to actually enjoy it. I really love and respect her!This is a class you will definitely enjoy going to and learn from.
This teacher is SO awesome! she is very fair and totally nice. I wold recommend her for anyone. Just keep up with the papers and you are pretty much guaranteed an A
Dr.Diamond is a professor who is very passionate about helping her students succeed in the classroom as well as in life! Her compassion for helping all individuals exceeds any other teachers at Bucks! I truely look forward to all of her classes that I am in. She is sinceer, brillant, caring and a wonderful human being
One of the best! Sincere, caring, interesting and believe it or not, you don't even realize how much you are learning while in her class B/C she captures the interest of everyone. Bucks is so blessed to have her, and so are her students.
This is the 3rd class I have taken from Prof D. and I can't say ENOUGH good things about her! I had almost no interest in English and literature before but now I'm actually thinking about changing my major to Eng. Her gothic class (261) is sooooo interesting! Should be mandatory for all Bukcs students!
Dr. Diamond is amazing! She is so relaxed all the time and her class is not really stressful. She is a very fair grader, and very helpful. Plus, she is really funny. I loved her class so much I signed up for another class she teachs. TAKE HER CLASS you won't regret it!!!!
Dr. Diamond is an excellent teacher. She is very positive, inspiring, and motivational. I never cared for English that much and greatly feared the research paper. She explained everything thoroughly and made the process painless. I wish there were more professors like her. She respects and treats each student with dignity.
There is just not enough room here to express how good Dr. D. is. Ditto on comments about treating all o f us with dignity & respect. I hated writing and reading assignments before this class and now I am writing my own poetry and bought my own Edgar Poe stories and can't wait to read them over X-mas.

One small thing I wanted to express about Dr. Diamond. She is encouraging. When you're so nervous about the paper you have to write, and that feeling you get once it's completed and handed in, not knowing you if you did well enough. When she hands them back, they have notes, helpful hints, and excited thoughts, throughout the paper. She's awesome.
I didn't think she was that great. She's a nice teacher but kind of soft-spoken. I was bored in her class because we went over how to use a database like 100 times. And many of the stories I had already read in high school. She doesn't let you email her papers if you're absent; you have to submit a hard copy in her inbox. Okay teacher.
Dr. Diamond is the ONLY ONLY professor to take for Comp111. Unlike the previous rater, I can say that the assignments honestly rock and they all lead to being successful on the final paper. So what if she's quiet? Listen!
Can't believe she is actually a teacher. My last semester professor was very clear and interesting and then after walking into Diamond's class i could never pay attention her lectures are so dull
Great teacher.
Best COMP teacher I've ever had! She's so helpful; and has a great sense of humor, too! Take her if you can!
Fantastic, makes classes interesting. assignments are required and you are quizzed on the reading material but she offers extra credit assignments and allows rewrites to improve your grade
BEST EVER! I adore her! she makes a difficult class as easy as it can be, isnt a hard grader, gives extra credit, breaks down the research paper...unless you dont read/write assignments you have to pass this class (or get an A). she's kind, funny, super smart and accommodating. I've recommended her to all my friends, she is an AMAZING TEACHER!
I think she means well and tries. I wish I'd taken another class
I'm taking Comp2 online and Dr. D. is just fantastic. The assignments are clear and she has extra chat hours to help with the first paper. She answers mesages and emails almost immediately. Highly rec.
I was teriffied to take this class online, thank god I happened to choose Dr Diamond's class. It is a LOT of work but assignments are clear and it seems that she is always avaiilable to help us. Extra office hrs in chat, answers email right away, and encourages us not to quit when online gets to overwhelming.
Great teacher - she wants you to succeed. The class itself requires a lot of writing (no duh)- and the final paper is 10 pages min. But she is very available to her students and offers helpful feedback. She is very enthusiatic about literature and writing and it shows - helps make the class more interesting.
DR DIAMOND IS A BRILLIANT PROFESSOR!!! took comp online in summer just so i could get thru the pain a quickly as possible. well, life surprized me and i got really interested in literature and research. Dr. D. opened up a new world of reading and writing for me. She is smart, funny, and cares a lot about ALL of her students. Thank you, Dr. D!!!
Dr.D is wonderful teacher and is really passionate about her work. She's always available to help. The work load was a bit insane(req 10pg paper)so keep up with it! The only con was the timeliness of her grading. Dr. D. graded the 1st 3 assignments and the rest were never graded and returned including the 10pg paper, so that was stressful.
Seemed sincere. Not a professor or class I'd take again. Not bad, just not someone I'd want to teach a class.
This lady is no help she just bounces from the class and does what ever she wants. She throws out random work to everyone with no help at all DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.
One of the best at BCCC, be prepared to learn and be challenged. Not a prof for slackers.
Great prof class is not easy but shes very helpfull.
Just another professor verage to poor just another class
She was somewhat disorganized, uninterested. Don't know why.
Friendly but difficult to follow
Dr. Diamond is tough, but fair. She challenges you, but is extremely reasonable. If people are putting up negative comments, I can only assume it's because they didn't give their all. I thought she was awesome!
Excellent professor, one of the best at Bucks. Comp111 isn't an easy class but this is the teacher to lead you throuhg it and make sure you learn.
An alright teacher but too much work for a nothing course.
Honestly, my favorite professor thus far. Such a beautiful person inside and out! Intelligent and awesome. She has a Tom Goes to the Mayor sticker on her office door....c'mon she's awesome. I had her for women's studies and she doesn't enforce her own opinion like some teachers do or dull the subject. Highly recommend this woman. Love her!
Awesome teacher! I absolutely hate English but she kept it interesting and easy to follow. It was an online course and each week she left clear directions on what was due, etc. Her feedback was clear and she was very down to earth. I would definitely recommend her - but be prepared to write papers every week.
she was very understanding, and helpful. highly recommend her!
Awesome teacher! So sweet, understanding and helpful. I was very scared to write the 10 page paper but with her preparation and help I got an A! :) We watched some movies in her class and when she talked it was about interesting things.
I took her class online and she wasn't very helpful. She actually took off 6% of my grade on an essay for spacing, even though the amount of words required was on point. She seems very nice but I've never gotten lower than an A and I got a B in her class.
This is the worst class I've ever taken. English is not a difficult subject for me but she made it the most un-enjoyable subject I have taken thus far. Her directions are horrible and difficult to understand, pertinent information is scattered all around her syllabus and course modules in the most random and confusing way possible. I give her an F-
Professor Diamond was such a nice teacher! She is very helpful, and her class is fairly easy going, honestly didn't mind attending. Just complete the assignments on time and thats really all there is too it, she doesn't over load you with homework and you usually have plenty of time to do it. Definitely would take her again.
I would definitely recommend her because she is really helpfully, she will give good feedback after a paper and she grades fairly. As long as you do the work you will get higher than a B. The pop quizs really helpfully the topic for essays are really easy. You need both of the books in class. I do not like Comp, She made this class interesting!!
One of the best at BC! She is caring, organized, and always ready to help. Be ready to work hard but to learn a lot!!
Dr diamond is a hard grader.u need to work really hard to get B .quizzes are really hard but there are not many questions.
I took her for COMP 110 online. She only gives a few papers that are pretty easy. The only tough part is that she gives three timed quizzes. Tough grader, but she tells you what you need to improve on the next one. Slow grader!!!!
Overall, a good teacher. The assignments are tough but she gives you plenty of time to complete them. Only complaint is it takes her awhile to grade papers and assignments. I waited over a month to get an essay back.
She was AMAZING!!! I wish I knew about her before. I had a crammed course with her and if you just do the work and try she will help anyway she can!
I took her online and it was really easy. We had a couple of class discussions, quizzes on reading (10 pts) and papers that at most were 5 pages so not too hard (I believe 4 papers). The reading in the books are short chapters not an entire novel. Most of the papers/discussions were based on documentaries you have to watch (for free).
took this class online, and this was one of the easiest classes i've ever taken. She's very clear on what the assignment is and how it should be written. If she feels you can do better she will most likely give you a second chance instead of just giving you a bad grade. I love this professor, i would take her for Comp 111 but she has a waiting list
Prof. Diamond was one of my favorite professors. Class was very laid back and topics were easy to relate to. Most papers were based on documentaries we watched in class. (Interesting ones too!) About 5 papers that are not very long but they were easy topics to grasp after watching the documentaries. Very upset I couldn't get into her comp 111!
I took an online class for the first time and took her for Comp110. She gets back to you as quick as she can if you need any help and she is very flexible. As long as you do what is being asked of you in her essays you will get a good grade. It's as simple as that. Can't wait to take her again, online, for Comp111!
Set clear guidelines for the class. Class was more self guided then lecture. However professor was extremely accessible and willing to assist.
I HATE WRITING! one of my biggest anxiety's next to math. diamond made the stories fun to read, and the writing clear and easy. I wish I took her for 107 and 110. takes a while for the grading to come back but this class made writing a breeze.
She was awesome! She always gave feedback right away! The class was great I received an A (: I would definitely recommend. I took her class online
Took 4 wk. wintercourse. Really good teacher, asgmts. are straight forward. Very fair grader, gives good feedback. Somewhat slow grader. Makes herself super accessible/responds fast. Would definitely recommend.
Okay prof. Took as an online 6-wk course. The assignments were pretty easy, but some of the quizzes were terrible. Make sure you have an online copy of the text so you can search it for quotes. Not graded on a whole lot so make sure you put in your best effort from the beginning to get a good grade! Would take again if given the opportunity.
The Professor is clear about what is required in each essay. She gives plenty of time to finish typing the essays and writing rough drafts for each essay. She is unbiased and lenient in grading.
Really good english professor- had her for an online class. She gives really specific feedback on every essay (but doesn't take off a lot of points for mistakes) that you can use on essays moving forward. She gives plenty of time to write and her class is very structured and organized. Would definitely recommend her!
Passed this class with an A. Shes a very caring professor. Very open to help whenever you have a question. Lots of readings to do, but theyre interesting stories! Quizzes and assignments are very straightforward. Took this class in an 8 weeks module and passed, so theres absolutely no reason to fail her class
A pretty easy going class and professor. If you need something, just email you and she will be happy to talk to you. A lot of reading, not that you necessarily have to do it. Not graded on many things, so make sure you're checking in and doing what needs to be done or else your grade will plummet. Otherwise, good class.
Professor Diamond is the BEST. I cannot recommend her class enough!! Assignments are straight forward and she is an easy, but fair grader. If you do the assignments you will be golden. I learned so much in the class and she gives you all the resources needed to become a better writer!!!
I am not a fan of English, but professor Diamond made it very manageable. Good feedback on your previous papers, so you can improve for future assignments. The final paper was not as intense as you might think. Use the tutoring center for editing help and you'll do fine in her class.
Diamond is a great professor! She was helpful when I had computer issues and is understanding and fair. She is a very friendly and personable. I would definitely take her again :)
You can not miss an assignment or will be screwed. Told me nothing she can do during this pandemic.
She gives a lot of assignments and not a lot of time to do them. If you miss an assignment, you are due to fail the whole class.
An AMAZING professor! This class was really interesting and she provided excellent, insightful commentary on every single writing assignment. The online course was very organized and clear. Def a professor to take for 110!
Dr. Diamond is the best! She is so sweet and thoughtful, and is very easy to contact if you have any problems. She is a very fair grader and as long as you stay caught up on the work, you will do well. This is my third semester with her and I love taking her courses.
I absolutely love Dr. Diamond. I have had the pleasure to take two courses with her and she truly goes out of her way to help you. As long as you do the reading, assignments and participate in the class discussions, the course is an Easy A. I highly recommend this amazing professor!
D is decent, not actually not as much writing in this class as I anticipated. Kinda a lot of reading. 3 papers, 3 non-graded in-class discussions, like 5 online quizzes. Also they're into like horror stuff. Not too hard of a grader. Tbh class can be a little boring,
Professor Diamond clearly likes teaching. Gives good feedback. You have do a couple of papers based upon the readings. Class not that hard, just read material, & write according to criteria and expectations, and be sure to "cite" your sources properly. The readings are interesting for most part; some you need to read 2-3 times to figure it out.
She was really encouraging of her students, and offered help in future endeavors. She was the first person to encourage me to go to a University, a goal I didn't really know I had, until she mentioned it.
Professor Diamond was a great teacher for the online comp 2 summer class. She would give us short stories to read and take a quiz at the beginning of each week. she expected us to remember specific quotes for the quizzes and would only have ten minutes to find the answers. The essays were straightforward and would sometimes offer credit for editing
Took to escape Prof Luciano since they talked about things other than just food and corn. Had a delightful time and while the class was a little tricky, I got actual useful feedback and help. Talks about varying topics and the workload is not huge. Not many essays and in general was an overall positive experience that rekindled my love for writing
Took second class in a row with her and would take again if needed. She is very caring, gives nice feedback. Essays are hard to write. No group projects in this class. She posts all needed material on canvas, but not the short stories. You can google most of them, however one i had to request at public library to access it.
This might be a symptom of taking an online class but I felt like there was little to no direction on classwork. All writing assignments came w PDF instructions that were 65% just obnoxious word art All the assignments consisted of reading and being told to analyze them with no resources or teacher-instruction on how to construct literary analysis.
This professor was pretty good. It's an English class so there were a lot of reading assignments and quizzes. I took this class online and am glad I did. Essays are pretty lengthy as well. Instructions are also really clear idk why the rating before mine is so mean.
The course is very straightforward. She gives you the course schedule at the start allowing you to know what you have to read and what assignment will follow with it. There's a couple quizzes, a couple discussion posts, and two papers which she gives plenty of time for. It helps that the professor is very nice and wants you succeed. I recommend.
Great professor! This class will help you to become a better writer! As long as you do your work and follow the criteria you will do great in this class. Prof. Diamond is a teacher who you can tell is passionate about what she does and helping her students to become better writers. Highly recommend taking her!
Professor Diamond was one of the best professors I have ever had. She cared so much. She helped me in anyway she could. She zoomed with me and went through each steps of the assignment and did not get upset if I still did not understand. She was kind, patient, and so sweet and caring. She truly cares about each one of her students. Amazing.
Jennifer Diamond is one of the best professors I have ever had. She truly cares about each of her students. She answers emails even on her off hours. She worked with me when I was struggling to comprehend an assignment. She was so kind, and amazing. She made me not hate english. She pushed me to be my best. She didn't give up on me when I struggled
Dr. Diamond gives awesome feedback and is very easygoing. You can tell she cares about her students. SUPER easy, just get ready for a lot of reading. I would 100% take again.
This class was mind blowing, eye opening, and life changing.
Loved the class and I am looking forward to having her again next semester
10/10. At the start of the semester, I was nervous about taking a comp class completely online, but after this semester, I recommend taking her; she is quick to answer any questions, looks at rough drafts, gives so many resources, and has clear instructions on assignments. I look forward to taking her comp111 class.
Prof. Diamond is awesome - she makes this English class engaging and manageable. The workload is reasonable, and she's always willing to help. unstuckstudy was a great study companion alongside the readings.
COMP111 isn't an easy class but Dr. Diamond gives really good feedback on helping you become a better writer. Just lots and lots of writing in this class. There is also quizzes on the book.
She is the best COMP prof. I have had at bucks. Everything is so organized on her canvas modules ( I took her class online). Great syllabus. In the online class we had assignments due every Monday. It was very easy to manage my time and the assignments given. There is a good amount of reading, but that should be expected with any English class.
