Comment:

The most bs prof. Ive ever had. Sucks at explaining concepts in lectures. Simple, straightforward homework from the book. And then ridiculously hard tests. Dont get me wrong, nice lady and she cares. And its possible to pass the class, but get ready to grind. Your grades in other classes will suffer at the expense of this class.

Not a good professor cuz it doesnt seem like she knows what shes doing at times. Weird grader and not the best at explaining things. Tries to be funny.

Comment:

Hardest math class ever taken. Got D's on the first 3 of 4 exams. She allowed us to retake the first exam, and averaged the retake score with the original. Final exam score also replaces lowest exam score. I did well enough on the retake, and the final to get a B average in the class. Surprisingly, I found the final to be the easiest exam.

Comment:

A very caring and funny professor. Her lectures are simple and a lot of notes will be taken. But her exams are very difficult. The test dives deeply into the meaning of the material. Her lectures dont, so you are expected to bridge the gap. Most of the students in my class dropped out.

Comment:

One of the worst professors Ive ever encountered. Terrible teacher, makes you feel dumb for asking questions. Impossible grader, loves to take points off for little things. An absolute disaster of a class. Makes things even harder for her students who are not doing good in her class. Simply do not understand her logic. Simple HW, impossible Exams

Comment:

Diana is the worst math teacher I have ever had. Your whole grade is tests and quizzes(which you have every Monday). She encourages students to ask questions but when they do she treats them like they're stupid. She acts like she cares but doesn't help you at all. If you're apart of access she won't be very helpful to you at all.

Comment:

Diana is a very funny professor and can make class fun, however, the difference between the material she teaches and the material she tests on is ridiculous. Her tests are way to difficult for a lower division calculus course, and her expectations for second semester calculus students are astronomical. The drop rate for my class was probably 80-90%

Comment:

Easily worst professor I have encountered. Does not care about students and does not lecture on topics in enough depth to pass her tests. Lectures are shallow, exams are impossible. No quizzes, whole grade based on tests which again are impossible. She blames low averages on students studying skills rather than re-evaluating herself. DO NOT TAKE.

Comment:

Grades are 100% exams and few extra credit assignments. Worst teaching philosophy Ive seen. Expects you to think critically while she herself cannot bridge the gap between solving simple arithmetic & developing complex thought to solve problems. Treats her students like this class is their entire life, while simultaneously lacks effort in teaching

Comment:

Not a tough grader, but exams are kind of tough. 5pts of EC per exam, and a 10pt EC assignment. She doesn't use Canvas so the text book and your notes are the only things to study from. She also gives practice problems a few days before each exam. Final replaces lowest exam score. Just make sure you know how to solve 100% of everything she assigns.

Comment:

Attendence definitely matters. Don't skip class. Take notes and study again before every day you sleep if you can. Do homework, but it is not enough. You must understand each concept, not just knowing what the steps are. She likes to derive theories for students, though. On the test, understand each problem and improvise. That's all I can say.

Comment:

Tests are your entire grade and are extremely difficult (3 hours and many students always went over time limit). Not that we had never seen the material before, but that it was 3 hours of challenging problems one after the other. She does "offer" extra credit on every test and sometimes during class though. Overall okay prof. At least she's funny.

Diana is sweet and funny. She is also very challenging I had her for multi variable calculus and it was not easy. I would say take her if you enjoy a challenge, but shes not for those wanting an "easy A." She's tough but fair.

Comment:

Honestly only recommended for Calc 1 and above. Diana is hilarious and a great teacher. She's perfect for students that are interested in math but don't want a ridiculously hard professor like Rubinstein, though some like the challenge. I enjoyed Diana's class so much I'm taking her again for Calc 3.

Worst Prof ever. Showed up and did all the hw and still failed every test. She puts questions on the tests that are unlike anything youve ever seen before and expects you to figure it out. ridiculous. DO NOT TAKE HER UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR GPA TO SUFFER!!

Comment:

I had a strong foundation in Pre-cal and Trig and I still did not do well. I did the homework everyday, but her test were difficult. We fell behind a lot, her class work does not reflect what is on test and she will answer the questions that you have but it makes you feel under prepared. Please don't take her!!!

She is a really nice professor with a great personality, she teaches great and you will get a lot out of it, but warning her test are extremely difficult, a good majority of the class dropped so that tells you right there. If here test were a little easier I would take her again.

Comment:

Definitely a great professor in her lectures, but I believe she doesn't teach well enough to the point where you will do well on a test. I put countless hour along with my peers and they wouldn't do well. A good majority dropped the class by the end of the semester. She is right about having a good trig professor but she is to blame as well.
