Comment:

Dr. Diller has the worst quizzing method I've ever seen. She puts the questions in a PowerPoint presentation and clicks through them at her own pace. She returns the graded quizzes, but since you didn't get time to write the questions down, you have no idea what you need to study. Talked to her about it and she dismissed my concerns.

Comment:

I took this class during SmartStart. DO NOT TAKE A HISTORY CLASS OVER SMART START. Too much reading for one night and quizzes were unpredictable. For someone who loved history, she completely turned me off in class. I wish I would have known not to take this class over the summer. Nice person otherwise, just very picky and opinionated.

Comment:

This professor leans far to the left in her lectures. Students that are not aware of her beliefs can be easily persuaded by her charismatic approach to teaching. Very cynical when discussing views that differ from hers.

Comment:

World Civ is not difficult if you do the work and read what she assigns. She is very anti Israel and pro Palestinian-she constantly puts down Israel and glorifies Palestine. She vehemently denies that our nation stepped toward socialism with the acquisition of GM, Chrysler, and the big bank bail outs. Read the dictionary definition of socialism.

A nice and fun lady! Took her for Middle Eastern Studies...tended to lean leftwards politically; especially in her choices for text and class materials (videos, etc.). Otherwise very clear, articulate, and knowledgable.

Interesting lectures that nicely compliment text and primary document reading. Daily quizzes are a bit of a pain. Overall a very knowledgable professor with good teaching skills.
