3 out-of-class essays(1 research paper). 2 (1 is the final). Credit only assignments every class. Offers about 30 EC points. Out of all the essays you write, except your final, you can re-write one for a higher grade, unless one of your essays really sucked, then you're forced to do a re-write. Tells you what she wants for all assignments. Doable!

Elite teacher. She does give out a decent amount of work, but if you stay on top of it it's super manageable. If you do all the work the way she wants it's an easy A, definitely take her for EWRT1B. I'm not sure how her in-person classes are,I had her online. 4 essays required in the quarter but that seems like standard for online English classes.

BEST English teacher there is!! Mrs. Diehl is hands down the easiest grader and gives feedback on every single assignment you submit. If you just do the work, then expect full points on every assignment as long as its done in a timely manner! Assignments may take an upwards of 30 minutes - 1 hour each, but she gives out free A's!

As long as you complete the task according to her requirements, I can't imagine how you could not get an A grade.

I really enjoyed taking this course with Professor Diehl. She gave good feedback on my assignments and allowed me to make corrections if needed. I also enjoyed the textbooks she had us read and actually now have a joy and interest in writing! Would recommend anyone take her class.

Class was very simple. 2 short assignments/week based off of a reading/book. 4 essays spread throughout quarter (most of it already written in the weekly assignments). Weeks there is an essay there is no assignment so you have a break. You also get extra credit for turning in the essays early. Light grader, great book choices, & positive feedback!

Very easy to follow homework assignments. Also gives extra credit for essays and submitted early, while also allowing resubmissions with close to a full score if you fix your mistakes. Overall really relaxed on grading!

As someone with pretty poor time management skills, this class definitely helped me improve them. 2 homework assignments a week that are graded on completion, with 4 essays in total. The homework leading up to the essays helps a lot, she basically has you write out your introduction and outline. She gives amazing feedback & offers extra credit!

Took her 2024 Fall Term. Very easy, like you would have to try to fail. Not a lot of reading just use summaries from online sources, homework is spaced out very well. Professor Diehl is an easy grader, not a lot of homework, and it's easy. Would recommend to anyone.

Professor Diehl's class is a solid choice - she provides great feedback and clear guidelines. With some effort, you'll likely earn an A. Unstuck AI can be a helpful study tool alongside the readings.

Sweetest professor I've had, provides feedback on all assignments and grades quickly. All homework is graded on completion, and essays are easy since the homework is made to outline them. Extra credit is given for early essay submissions. The book we had to read was actually good, and overall, this class is not stressful at all. Take her!

She is really nice. I missed the due date for an assignment by a day but she still granted full points (despite her syllabus saying late work isn't accepted). You are pretty much guaranteed an A+ and you can easily get extra credit just by submitting your essays early. You read 1 book, 1 textbook, and 1 collection of short stories. Only 4 essays.
