Diana is an amazing instructor with a lot of knowledge and experience with what she is teaching. When you enter her classroom, you're there to learn and give your undivided attention. Laziness will not be appreciated. She talks fast but she's always willing to reiterate. You must earn her respect in order to receive it.

Talks Fast, Awful writing, cant even schedule midterms properly. Only available outside class on very rare occasions and doesn't like us trying to get help from other students. Don't think we have actually learned a thing in her class so far that will actually be of use, its mostly just copying and pasting commands from a booklet.

Definitely speaks at around 200 WPM while expecting you to understand a concept right away. Only benefit is getting your lab done early so you don't have to see her next week. Asking her a question feels like a huge slap in the dock because she treats you like you did her wrong.

Problems: 1) 5 minutes early is 5 minutes late:? I get being early is important but if we get there on time shes salty (we have her for 8 am) 2) She could probably rap 'Rap God' in her sleep, she talks too fast 3) HA good luck understanding anything, she doesn't explain easily 4) No typing in that class, she hates the noise??? (it's a typing class?)

Diana not clear on the grading criteria because she speaks so fast, and the biggest problem taking her course was the tests were very inconsistent from what she teaches.

Didn't really learn PowerShell stuff, just marked my labs and oh! Easy 100% even I purposely wrote wrong answers in the lab to see if she noticed it, but unfortunately she didn't. Huge teaching discrepancy between CPRG261 and CPRG260, she claims she has a stronger suit to CPRG260.

Talks way too fast. doesnt let you keep up with what you discuss in class. expects you to know the material right away, treats you as if you already know programming. Is always there though to help you out, but doesnt explain what she is doing when helping you.

She is good teacher and teaches well, BUT She speaks so fast, and she hates to repeat. I probably needed to get voice recorder so understand what she's saying. She just talks what she wants to say, she doesn't want to listen to students. worst teacher ever in my life time. I do not want to in her class again!

Struggling in the beginning. Once you know what is she doing, she's very helpful. If you follow her steps to programing, you will get very good mark and learn a lot. She will help you pass.

While Diana is very quick with her lectures, I find her to be very helpful with our assignments and helping with coding. She does have a fast pace but I think if you use the textbook through the first part you'll be just fine.

Comment:
Extremely fast talking teacher yet half her talk is jibberish. 50% or more have to use a recorder on a phone to just to repeat whats going on. She doesn't like repeating herself and only time to ask questions is in her office while we're in other classes. Her lectures are in no way understandable and her handwriting on board is even worst.

Diana is an excellent teacher. While she does talk very fast, she knows her stuff and is more than willing to help you if you need it. She truly cares about the success of her students and I hope to take another class with her!

Comment:
she was probably the worst teacher ive had in my entire life. She goes extremely fast,expects you to know java basically as you walk in the door. If you have a question get ready to get ripped a new one. She will tear you apart on the daily. probably one of the worst introduction profs you could get. Overall terrible educator
