He is super sweet, very understanding and a brilliant teaching. His style is so different from any other professor that I've ever had. He is more interested in you learning and coming up with your own ideas.

Dr. Diop has been by far the best teacher I've had at KSU. He is extremely knowledgable and is an excellent mentor for all English/Engl Ed majors.The literature is great and really explains the African condition. The coursework is challenging, but not overwhelming. It's the perfect blend - great teacher, great works, perfect balance of coursework.

AWESOME! Instead of reading classical stuff, we read about African freedom, and the books were all mostly easy to read. The varity made the class ten times more interesting. He tells you exactly what to expect from the class to get the grade.

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DR. DIOP, he is a very good prof if you do your work you will get an A and the work is just reading, if you are too lazy to read you will probably get a B

Dr. Diop is an amazing professor. It's easy to call his class disorganized, but if you reflect on the pace and material learned in class, you'll realize he is an integrative, collaborative professor. He shapes the class around his students. Quite a bit of reading *it is English after all*, but if you go to class and participate you'll learn a lot!

Great teacher. A bit unorganized, but really into the subject. He'll break his neck to help you if you work hard. Id take him a million more times! Fun class if you join in discussion. He wont tell you what the literature means, but he loves to interject if you start a conversation.

A lil difficult to understand sometimes due to accent. Very passionate, loves the topic. Do your reading & participate in class = you will have an A. His teaching style is very dependent on class interaction - which is fun.

GREAT TEACHER

I really enjoyed his class. I took him for the summer semester and we read 6 books in 8 weeks but they were all really good books so I didnt' mind. If you read the books and participate, you will have NO PROBLEM passing his class. He's an overall awesome guy who will do his best to help you succeed.

Dr. Diop is an extremely intelligent man. It took a few classes for me to understand his accent. It helped me because I had to listen closer therefore I absorbed the knowledge better. He is an expert in Lacanian psychoanalysis and marxist critical theory. He is very willing to spend extra time helping you grasp the concepts. Great man!

Critical Theory with Dr.Diop is very interesting, mainly because the subject matter itself is enthralling. We give group presentations on the required criticism in class. We learn the material by having to present it, but end up teaching the class. He's hard to understand at first. Tests are MC, but he will correct his mistakes. Easy A!

Read 1 larger book, 2 smaller ones, and a bunch of short stories. 1 page reader response and quiz on each. HE takes attendance and make sure you participate in class, thats part of the grade. He is very nice and intelligent. Sometimes hard to understand the accent but...great class.

MY FAV CLASS THIS SEMESTER!! I will take him again. You do read books and short stories, but you have group projects for the whole semester. An easy A. He is very personable and really cares if you are passing. He loves his students. TAKE THIS CLASS!

Best professor ever!!! He is very smart and really cares for his students. all you have to do is go to the class and read the books. test are easy if you READ the stories. One easy project. very interesting material and a very nice professor!!!!!

I love professor Diop. He is very intelligent! TESTS are easy if you read the books. the books are no long at all + they are very interesting. My favorite class this semester...

This professor is very intelligent. If you are just looking for another class to get the grade and go, this is not the class. He wants you to learn something which you will if you stick with it!

A very nice, intelligent, philosophical professor who loves literature. Lives and breathes it. He will answer your emails and questions immediately and politely, and if you're putting in effort but still struggling, he'll help. DON'T SKIP. He gives pop quizzes and lots of busy work in class that count. Lectures are A+ though, take him for those.

He is an amazing professor with a passion for literature. It is not an easy class, but it is also not very difficult. He lectures everyday, and he encourages discussion. You will read a lot, so if you don't like to read, he's probably not the best option for you. Overall, he's very kind and honestly wants his students to succeed.

This class was so so so easy! I highly recommend taking him. The entire class is busy work and you won't ever have homework unless you have to read a short story for the class. All you do in this class is busy work. Each class he usually gives a super easy middle school level work sheet (im not kidding). He is so caring for his students

Wonderful professor. Topic was Semiotics. This is a challenging topic to teach and he does a great job. He is invested in student learning, so if you don't want to learn then don't take him. I'm seeking an education so he was a fantastic teacher. Attendance policy is clearly stated in syllabus. He's understanding if absences if you email him before

This teacher has a lot of stupid rules but makes up for it with extra credit and easy grading. Can't miss more than 3 classes or he will take points. Gives a lot of quizzes (some planned, some not) but they aren't too hard if you read or paid attention. He is a quirky man but is a good teacher and wants his students to do well! Reading is key!

Dr. Diop genuinely CARES about his students more than any teacher I have ever had. He's a brilliant man, and pushes all of his students to become capable of his level of high thinking. He's not easy, because he truly has faith that all of his students are capable. His instruction over the years has made me a better student.

As mentioned in previous posts, he is a bit disorganized and has a very strict attendance policy, but he is a brilliant man and cares about each student passing the class. The only issue I really had was that it was unclear as to when he would put in grades. It's not terribly difficult, but you will learn a lot from the stories and his personality

Hes the most CARING professor you will ever have at KSU. He genuinely care for each of his students and wants you to do well! Sure there is reading , but its an English class so thats expected. He helps students understand a deeper meaning & actually learn to appreciate literature.

This professor was absolutely brilliant! He's so caring and tries to make everything easy to understand. There is reading, but it's a literature class so it's expected. He has an attendance policy, but it's given to him by the english department. I took him for summer and the class was easy-going and allowed me to have a summer!

I definitely recommend Dr. Diop! He really cares about his students and if you show that you're putting forth effort he has no problem giving you an A. Participation is important, and you need to make sure you've done the reading before you go to class as his lectures are very interactive and completely based off of the homework.

Currently in his linguistics class. He is extremely caring, and wants you to do your best! The lectures are extremely informative, just try to keep up and remember key terms and you're all set!

He is an absolutely great guy and hands down my favorite professor at KSU. He assigns homework like every other day, but it's all really easy and he isn't a tough grader at all. He likes to tell jokes and engage the class (and he also brings snacks often.)

He is a very good professor who genuinely cares for his students, however he does seem a little off-putting when you first meet him. He is a little strict on certain things but you have to learn to understand what he expects from his students if you want to be successful. Dont expect to pass this class if you dont show up.

Dr. Diop is amazing. His lectures and discussions allow everyone to participate and voice their opinions. For a summer class, it was really easy if you space out all the work. One of my favorite classes so far at KSU.

I loved this class, and Dr. Diop was thought-provoking, funny, and kind. One of the best classes I've had at Kennesaw State.

I love this man with all my heart. When I first came into his class I was not prepared for the amount of work he would put into us. He would help you with your papers even after he graded them and would give you extra points. He is thoughtful and would bring in food sometimes just to get us to pep up. Love him. take him.

Professor Diop is a great professor. Each week we read a short story and would take a short quiz upon what we read. Bonus points are always available. Topics explored in class are entertaining and thought provoking. Take him if you can.

Dr. Diop is a man of wisdom and pure class. He is insanely intelligent with an inspirational drive to teach literature. The only bad thing about him is that his drip is beyond understand. His drip will make you feel insignificant, but overall an amazing professor. Take him for sure!!

Dr. Diop was an amazing professor that really likes to engage his students through class discussions. The readings are fun and interesting and he really takes into consideration what the students want and what is best for their schedules.

Cool professor. One short story assigned per week and discussions in class about them. Pop quizzes and only two tests all year, which are the midterm and final. Super easy to get an A.

Professor Diop is absolutely amazing. He communicates with his students and makes sure we are all engaged in discussion. Strories are short and easy to follow. Class discussion before quizzes made it really easy to understand the story fully. Always fun to go to class even in the early morning. Would highly recommend taking him!!

Dr. Diop is a great professor. it really helps if the students are enthusiastic, engaged, and actually learning the material he provided. as long as you do the work you will do just fine in the class. there are 2 tests a midterm and a final. weekly reading quizzes and random classwork drop-ins plus extra credit.

Dr. Diop is a very respectable man, his 2110 class was one of my favorite classes last semester. He assigns a short story to read each week and in class you have a discussion about and do some group work. The class gets a lot more interesting if you try to participate in discussions. He really tries to work with the class, plus he has amazing fits.

I personally loved this class. Short stories every week (some were longer than others) and quizzes on Thursday. His lectures are super engaging and I learned a lot from the class! He isn't super great about answering emails, but if you remind him he gets to it. I had a good experience in this class and think Diop is a great professor.

If you need your area C covered take this class online. Professor Diop structured the class very simply and efficiently. We had 8 tests and 8 assignments all on readings assigned. If you do the readings and assignments you can easily get a 100. 10/10 professor!

I'm going to tell you the truth about Dr. Diop's English 1102 course. This professor is a real teacher because he wants to see active learning in the classroom. No show of effort in class by participating then he WILL fail you. Comments on your submissions when something is off. Graded based off participation in lectures, research essay, & final.

Genuinely a very caring professor. Class is structured around a short story every week + a book towards the end of the semester. The lectures were very thought-provoking and led to enriching conversations. As long as you put in the time to read, it should be an easy A.

He is a great professor in my opinion. You do have to go to all the classes and he will call on random people if no one is answering in class but outside of that, there isn't much else to it. You read short stories and then do an assignment in class and a quiz on that story at the end of the week. Not hard at all, definitely an easy A.

He's nice and has good intentions. Just show up to class, try your best, & you'll do just fine. Not very tech savvy + makes mistakes every now and then; gently correct him. 3 absences = course failure unless you have genuine reasons for missing class. Interesting subject. A lot of group assignments in class. Has an accent. Good professor!
