Professor Dillon was the greatest professor I have ever had. Coming from a top University to take a summer class at OCC, I was surprised at how she handled the class.

This could be the most qualified teacher I have ever had. She knows everything and is willing to help anyone, not just with her class, but with advising and what to do with your life. She gives open-book tests, but you have to read and outline in order to do well. Rarely take any notes, and there's one big project of creating your own business.

Dillon is one of the worst teachers I've ever had in my life. She does not teach the subject matter.
