DON'T NOT TALK IN HER CLASS! She hates it with a fiery passion and will take off points from your grade. It's never happened before. Just go to class everyday, take notes, do Math XL, and do text problems for practice. You should easily get an A. Talk to her after class if you need clarification; she will be happy too.

Very FAIR. She will not give you any problems on a test that she hasn't gone over.She is always open to questions so don't hesitate. GIVES EXTRA CREDIT as well. Gives helpful quizzes that help keep you in check with some of the content that will be on the exam and GIVES EXAM REVIEWS. EXCELLENT!!!

She is a very helpful teacher. She grades fairly; there will be nothing on the tests that she hasn't gone over. It would be in your best interest to do the exam reviews, as they are almost exactly like the tests. all-in-all, I would recommend this teacher.

Exams every other week and when you don't have an exam you have a quiz. You get extra credit by doing more online homework. It's a lot of work, but she does tons of examples in class and gives study guides for each exam. As long as you keep practicing the problems you'll be able to pass the class. Definitely one of the better math profs I've had.

I love her! Teaches by doing a ton of examples, and doesn't leave you to figure things out on your own. Exams are fair (exactly like the review she gives) and quizzes are downright easy. Between hw, quizzes, and exams, the class will take up your time, but coupled with a good TA there's no way you won't learn calc from her. New favorite subject! :)

Knows the subject. Goes through examples super fast. I'm good at math, though so it really wasn't a big deal. Provides notes and practice problems. For tests, gives out handout that have basically the same questions that will appear on tests but just different number. The help sessions are also VERY helpful. Passed with an A+.

Very clear. I loved how she worked out the problems. Made them very easy to understand. She does go fast but its only so that she could cover more material & even as someone who was not good at math, I was able to keep up. Though after her class I felt a lot more comfortable with the subject. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. AWESOME!

Good professor but goes VERY fast and requires a TON of time to prepare for her tests. Her reviews are exactly like her tests, so that's helpful but the tests are by no means easy. She's not very nice, but she knows her stuff. DONT TALK or she takes points off from the whole class.

I loved Dizona. I would definitely take her class. Her tests are exactly like the reviews and she drops the lowest test grade. She speaks clearly and does lectures based on examples which are pretty easy to follow.

Probably the only professor who can make calc bearable/passable. Exams are the reviews she gives. Final exam has the same questions as the tests but weirder/harder questions. She actually curved the final despite her saying many times throughout the semester that we would not be receiving any extra credit

Definitely take her! Everything you need to know she does in lecture, lectures are extremely beneficial. She gives exam reviews that are exactly like the exam but different numbers. MathXL Hw only has to be 75% but anything over is extra credit. If you go to class and do hw its easy, if not you will struggle. Cumulative final

She doesn't care whether or not you come to class, which is pretty great. She was very approachable too. She explains things clearly and does a lot of examples which really help put things into perspective and give practice. I liked doing MathXL for the same reason. If you do that alone you should be fine - I never went to class and I got an A+!

Very good professor. Will go over material over and over until we get it and she's very hands on. Offers extra credit and drops lowest exam, quiz.

Dr. Dizona teaches by examples which is good for me but the exams are very difficult. Be ready to study a lot for her exams. Her exams consist of a take home portion worth 20 point and an in class portion which is worth 50 points. She is always there to help students out when they ask. Go to tutoring and office hours.

The class was easy in my opinion. You cannot skip class at all! Understanding most concepts goes with some explanation, and she's great at that. The take-home and worksheets are great ways to earn A's. However, it's helpful to attend the TA help sessions. Questions explained there appear on the exams. 20 pts extra credit offered through MathXL.

She is very straightforward about everything you need to know. The math xl kind of seemed tedious sometimes. The classes rarely ever last longer than 45 minutes. She simply did example problems and reminded us about worksheets due in Friday classes, the math xl, and tests coming up. The tests were all short answer, no multiple choice.

Her test are hard and theres A LOT of work in the class. Practice problems not graded but very helpful. She zooms through the notes but she lets you video record the class if you ask. Does a good amount of examples and goes step by step which I like. I recommend but be ready to dedicate around 4 hours each day just to hang on to that A

Is a really great instructor in my opinion. She goes through a ton of examples in class and is really willing to help if you need it. In class she can seem kind of impatient, but I promise she is actually really nice. She has TA sections as well, those however kind of suck a lot. It's 50 minutes and on a friday, which is when the exams are too.

The class was very straight-forward. She tells you what she expects. Homework was due every Friday (except exam days) during help sessions. Completing WebAssign gives you extra credit. 4 exams and a final and it was pretty much what you did in class. If you listen in class, take good notes and practice at home it is a easy A.

Lectures are clear cut and so are her expectations. Tests are difficult, more complex problems than what she goes over. Doing HW helps and allows you to get extra credit if you do all the problems. One of her TA's, John, was a tough grader. She lets you challenge the test grade but she regrades the entire test and you can end up losing pts.

Great professor. I had to retake life cal because my previous professor would just assume we knew most of calc already. I wished I would have taken her class beforehand. She takes attendance which can be extra credit over time and plus extra credit for just doing your homework. She's really helpful if you ask. Just don't talk during class.

good professor but calc can be a little hard, you have to work for your grade and do the webassign. She pulls test questions from webassign and practice problems so do them!!! practice problems not required so a lot of people dont do them but they are very helpful on what the test will be like!! also GO TO HER OFFICE she is very willing to help

Dr. Dizona is a helpful professor with great lectures. I only wish she would help prepare more the exams, as many students are unfamiliar with the wording of the questions.

Dr. Dizona is a great professor. While she does go through the lectures quickly, it is not because she wants to leave, it's because there is a lot to learn. She is willing to stay late and open up extra office hours. She wants you to understand the content and dedicates her time to show that. She encourages questions and doesn't make you feel dumb.

Dizona can be a little intimidating at first, because she is very strict, mainly about students talking in class/asking questions that have been already asked. However, she was a wonderful professor. She gives out a TON of examples during class, and is willing to help you after class, and even during class. Very approachable and a nice lady.

I wished I would have taken her before I failed this class with a different prof! She's very helpful and wants you to do well. She does lots of example problems. Lowest exam grade I got was a 85. I had a panic attack in another class and I explained her the anxiety I had during exams and she offer to me to take the exam in a more relaxed setting!

She can be strict, but if you ask her a question she will answer. Question why you lost a point on a test, she will explain. Tons of examples in class and willing to cater to you if you just ask nicely. Find someone with tests from a previous year - same format. Tons of extra credit, just have to try. Uses WebAssign but check your answers online!

Excellent professor! She is so kind and helpful and willing to go out of her way to assist students after class and during office hours. She is very enthusiastic about the subject and I love her teaching style. She does several example problems which reflect her exam format. Exams are fair and the format is easy to follow and understand.

Best math professor I've ever had. I don't write these reviews often but she deserves it. I have always struggled with math but in this class I have an A. She does so many practice problems and they are consistent with her exams. She offers a ton of extra credit if you attend every class and do all of the webassign. Highly recommend.

Taking Dizona for calc 1 is a good choice. She grades attendance which may be a downside for you, but its not a bad idea showing up to her class. She goes through problems ranging in difficulty throughout her lecture clearly which you can really benefit from. Go to class, pay attention, do the homework before the test, and you'll pass.

By far the best Calc teacher I've taken. Tests consists of taking a test during the peer leading session and she also gives out a take home portion of the test. Lectures are very informative and actually help with the homework and tests.

Take her for Calculus anything!! I failed Calculus 1 a few semesters ago and was nervous about trying again. She made it so easy. You will regret not taking her. You could get by without using the book but it is helpful for extra practice. Lots of online homework but isn't due till the end of the semester. She gives lots of opportunities for E.C.

Dizona was fantastic. I had a heavy semester and managed to pass without studying all too much. Attendance is required but her lectures are informative and super clear. She goes over similar problems from the last lecture so you're never absolutely lost in her class. Would definitely take her again.

I like my math teacher very much because she CARES about every student's grades and always smiles. I don't think a strict teacher is bad. On the contrary, miss zona is very responsible and very clear. I'm glad to meet such a good teacher in the first year. I hope I can take her class again

She does move very quickly, but if you ask a question she will stop and spend time answering it. Posts notes ahead of class (they seem daunting, but aren't bad after she goes over them) and practice book problems. You can also take photos of the in-class notes after class. Make a study group for Webassign and take-home exams

So Dr. Dizona puts up a hard front. At first she seems like she's irritated, but she genuinely cares about her students understanding the material. If you have any questions during lecture she'll stop and thoroughly explain it until it is understood. She does a really, really good job of making the content easily digestible.

In terms of her lectures she goes over problems you will see on the test and makes sure to cover a lot of versions. Very good at explaining and will do each and every step even if it is the simplest math there is. 5 clickers each day, need to get them all right to get all the points- will bring down your grade if you don't get majority right.

Dizona is a solid choice, she is helpful and explains very well. She comes across tough and touchy, but ultimately means well for the success of the whole class. The first exam was the worst for me, but just working on the homework is great to study with. Final is optional and gives you room to improve your grade.

Dr. Dizona solves multiple examples of each problem before continuing to another section. The class can move fast, but all the notes are posted online afterward. This is very helpful when doing the homework, which can be complicated, or for studying for the weekly quizzes.

Dr. Dizona was extremely kind to me throughout this semester. I am a type one diabetic and had a ton of issues that caused me to miss class and she worked with me for each absence. She responds quickly to any questions you have and is very kind and approachable if you ever need her for anything. Her notes are thorough and it was a very easy class!

In the start of the year I checked this website on information for Ms. Dizona. When I saw the low rating, I was scared. However to my surprise this class was nowhere as bad as people make it out to be. Ms. Dizona's tests were straightforward and not super difficult. Webassign was very easy . The only thing I did not like was the clickers.

Once you get past Jill's voice she is actually a very good professor. I took her class in Fall 2020 and she was very understanding during the transition to an online class, all the tests and homework were done on the software you need to purchase it was not proctored so that was great!

I saw this post that said once you get past her voice she is a good prof and I could not agree more! she may teach faster than some may prefer but its just the nature of a calc class. She is an overall good teacher!

I took her class during the spring, she was a good in-person lecturer, her voice was hard to get used to. But once you do shes is good. Her in-person tests were pretty manageable. When we transitioned online all the exams were on the application we used for homework, not proctored, and were open for 3 hours. and I think they were open all week.

She is a really good professor. She may first seem very strict but once she starts teaching she is a really good professor and does her best to make sure every student understands. I took her course online and she posted her notes on the one drive and then during class, we just asked her questions on the homework problems we were confused about.

Once you get past her voice, her lectures are amazing and all the necessary information needed for the worksheets is all there. grades are based on weekly worksheets, WebAssign online homework, and tests which take up the majority percentage. Used the WebAssign HW to help me study for the tests and have prepared me so much for the test material.

It was good. Not the best professor in the world (read further comments on her voice), but honestly it was a pretty solid class. Do the work and you'll get an A.

One of the best lecture professor I have ever had. She actually goes over EVERYTHING in the problem and doesnt leave details out like others do. If you do everything asked you will get an A

Her lectures are question and answer format so it is not mandatory. She posts videos to learn the material and they are straight forward. Tests are not proctored, and most homework is online. However, there are weekly worksheets and she tends to grade them harshly, but it is super easy to get an A. I didn't show up to one lecture and got a 97.

Dizona is awesome! She is very supportive in helping you understand things at office hours and had really good videos for the semester being online. I have genuinely never been good at math but she helped me get an A in calc 1! 10/10 would take again.

My class was 100% asynchronous so it was very lecture heavy but they were always very clear and easy to understand. She gives lots of chances on HW before you start to lose points and the tests and HW content was very similar :)

Math comes pretty easy to me so the class wasn't hard. She posts her lectures the day before the live lessons. She gives a small quiz after class which is straight from the recorded lecture. Attendance wasn't required all she asks is that you attend the beginning for announcements. The lowest test grade was dropped.

I think it was okay. The biggest downside is that sometimes, she doesn't explain why she's doing questions a certain way. She doesn't actually lecture in my opinion, just does example problems during class. If you do the worksheets and WA homework, you should be able to do good. Obviously, Calc 1 isn't an easy class so be ready to work hard.

Professor Dizona makes concepts very clear. I always hated math but she made me hate it less because I understood it. Fast-paced lectures. Big extra credit boost if all MathLab weeks are completed. Final is mandatory and closed-book but can replace lowest midterm grade if higher than it. 2-3 homework assignment a week and weekly quiz.

Professor Dizona teaches with practice problems. Which works well for me, maybe not for everyone. I didn't love or hate the class, but it was difficult. She wasn't a bad professor, it's just hard to make business calc interesting. Aside from a very strict NO TECHNOLOGY policy, she did want everyone to succeed in her class. I'm glad I took her class

Dizona's teaching style works really well for me. For each unit, she has notes available for you to print and follow along with, then she will do practice problems on the board. While the exams are difficult, she is open about the material on each exam and will give you exact problems from the textbook to do as review.

I would agree she can be abrasive, but I took this class as a senior and so many students were rude as can be to her. The class split was heavily freshmen who talked a bunch during class, left early came late frequently. She very much wants everyone to pass, but people I think overlook it. She was one of the best college math profs I ever had.

Great teacher. About 4 assignments per week. Final exam replaces the lowest of three midterm exam grades. Strict grading on exams and paper assignments, however working was outlined in the lecture. Recorded lectures were posted incase of a missed class. Mid terms exams worth 15% each and final worth 25%. Made herself available to answer questions.

Dr. Dizona helped me with anything I needed when I asked. She was a great professor, but not really the best personality. She was very dramatic in class and distracting during exams. There was weekly homework, quizzes, and worksheets. 3 exams + the final. Do the homework, study all the problems for the exams, and you'll pass with a good grade.

Great class

Dizona can be blunt, but she wants students to succeed. The class is challenging, but her teaching style works well - practice problems, review materials, and availability for help. I found unstuck study useful for prep alongside the textbook.
