Comment:

Dr. Payne is a fun and good professor to have. The class though is a struggle if you're a terrible test taker like myself. I had thought about dropping this class and just waiting to take it for next semester due to the first exam. Do all your homework and do average on the exam and you'll be able to rest comfortably. Study for her tests!!!!

Comment:

Professor Payne was very nice as a person but I learned very little from her course. She is really good for other course but in this course, I didn't learn much. Everyone in my class struggled. I ended up having to drop the class because I was failing so bad that I couldn't make it back to a D before the end of the semester.

Comment:

This class sucks.. It is interesting, but when it comes time to take an exam the questions are tricky. She tries really hard for everyone to get the material and students can discuss in class. Homework is what helped me understand the most. Watch the videos from the ebook. Do all the homework. She takes some time to email back..

I had Mrs. Payne for Personal Financing and she is wonderful! She really wants us to learn, but she does understand we have full schedules. She is very clear about what she wants on our homework. She is definitely a genius when it comes to the material! I highly recommend her, and really hope I have her for several other classes in the future!

I had Diana Payne in Fall 08 foundations of business. I would highly recommend her! She's very nice and helpful, especially if you're not really into computers. I hope to have her again for future business classes.

Comment:

She is very nice but doesn't explain things very well. She assigns lots of homework but never takes it up for a grade. She eats, sleeps, and breathes accounting. She knows her stuff, but she just doesn't teach it as well as she knows it.

Payne was a witty and very helpful professor. She knows her stuff, teaches it well, and she is still around. Just do your homework, study the content, and pay attention to her lectures and you'll pass.

I enjoy her class, although it can get very confusing. She tries to give as many extra points as possible and does her best to clear up confusions. I wish she was teaching the second portion of the accounting class series.

She was the best teacher I ever had. THe school suspended her after the first 3 weeks I had her in class and our class got really behind because of it. They said she plagiarized a study guide. Now you know you can't plagiarize accounting. Now they have fired her and it is wrong. She is Great!!!
