Mrs Diehl is a fantastic teacher. I was very discouraged at after receiving my first paper back but with her encouragement, I was able to grow as a writer and student. She is makes you work for your grade but she is there supporting you 110% and is very available for questions or concerns. Id gladly take the course or any class of hers again.

Professor Diehl grades very strict. Her class is okay however she posts way too many things to our D2L with a jumble of different directions that ends up being confusing. I failed a perfectly refined paper because I made one small mistake that didn't even retract from the paper. She claimed I did not follow directions and that I deserved it.

The class was an endless nightmare of homework. She's passionate teaching, but it is ridiculous that her 1102 class was so hard. She assigns so much work that grades in my other classes suffered. She is a tough grader on papers, I once edited a paper for 10 HOURS to barley get a B. I'm not a lazy student but ENG1102 shouldn't be this stressful.

Prof. Diehl graded one of my assignments incorrectly according to her own rubric, and it was like pulling teeth trying to get her to respond to any of my emails. I emailed her three times in a span of about two weeks about my grades and she never responded. She replied when I asked if she was receiving my emails though, so she was getting them.

Prof. Diehl is brilliant, and her deadlines for her online course are easy to follow. Not a very heavy workload. However, her entire class this year is focused on politics (BLM) which was very frustrating to follow. Feels like I am being brainwashed. She is also very hesitant to respond to emails for some reason. Overall, average online class.

Her online page was the worst thing to navigate this semester, filled with broken links and assignments that weren't even related to the subject we were on.

DO NOT TAKE HER. She is teaching a strictly online class and refuses to communicate with her students. She also states in the syllabus to buy the most recent edition of the books and assigns assignments for the oldest edition so students are not able to do the assignments. This is NOT an English course. You discuss liberal biased topics and racism.

I have to say that she cares about grammar a lot and is a tough grader on essays. You can BS on your discussions, but I recommend you save all of the past discussions you answered in a document because she will use that discussion prompt in a quiz. Her quizzes are not something you can do in 30 mins or less bc they can take up to an hour or longer.
