Comment:

Diana chuck's a bunch of random information at you with various handouts and study questions which don't use the same verbage. You have to buy an ebook that you never use only for the aplia problem sets and quizzesexams. Her exams are ridiculously hard. I spent hours in her office getting help only to be more confused. Terrible instructor.

Comment:

Diana gives you everything you need both in class and online. She writes her lectures on the board making note-taking a breeze. She posts her curriculum in various handouts that she allows you to use on tests. She offers unbelievable amounts of help on exams. The only thing keeping you from doing well in Diana's class is a lack of effort.

Comment:

I took this class online. FIRST: you must pay for a online site but will have access tot he ebook textbook. The class was a major struggle as the handouts which are required seem to lack a lot of organization which only made the class more difficult. The instructor is very nice and fair. She just needs some work on her online course.

Best teacher I've had at TMCC; 3 courses with her, macro, stats 1 & 2. She will give you so much extra help. Lectures are clear, everything is written on the board, handouts are abundant. She provides everything you need to learn. These courses are difficult, complex, and much work! McCoy really wants you to do well and provides the tools to do so.

She is very willing to help students. She would always help me when I was struggling with homework. I will definitely try to take classes with her in the future.

I took Econ 102, 103, 261 & 262 from her. These are difficult online classes, she does an outstanding job of helping students by being always available - phone or email. She even helps you on Stat Exam problems. I learned so much by taking classes from her, my upper level Econ classes should be much easier with the background she provided!

I spent with Diana 2 semesters (Econ261 and Econ262) online. It was a wonderful experience. She answered all my emails very fast. To succeed in her class you need to return you tests on time, earn extra credits, read her handouts, and, if you are puzzled, just call or write to her. Diana does everything to help you to succeed. Great teacher!

Comment:

The best teacher I've ever had! The subjects she teaches are difficult and complicated, but she is always available to help. In her online classes she always responded to my emails within 24 hours (usually within 12 hours!). She really cares about the progress of her students, and will spend hours with you in her office if you need help.

Comment:

If you want to get something out of statistics, this is not the teacher to take the class from. Very little interaction and you have to pick everything up from some handouts she gives you. You spend your time doing the Hawkes online assignments only to find that the tests are on topics that were never really covered.

I was really struggling but she was always available for help even though it's an online class. We met online and in her office and he she helped me understand everything. One of the best teachers I've ever had and the best in an online class.

Comment:

I took the online class. Huge mistake. Professor McCoy seems like a nice person, but she isn't really helpful in the online class. When people ask questions she tells them to read the book or do practice questions. I've taken other online classes that aren't like this.

I took this class online. She did grade on a curve but it was still a real struggle to just get a C out of it. I do not recommend doing this class online.

I agree - online course extremely hard. Even though you get a cheat sheet for the test - you're still in hot water

Goes through examples during class and everything on her tests is straight from her notes. In 261, tests were open book and open notebook. Very easy classes and good teacher - very nice too.

I took this class fall 2003 and she helped us a lot to make us understanding about the subject.
