Dr. Dietz is one of the best professors I have ever taken. She is extremely caring and helpful. I would recommend tanking any of her courses. Her workload is not too demanding and she is a fair grader. Great professor!

Do the reading and participate in class to really take advantage of your time with Dr. Dietz. She is a fantastic professor, and you will learn lots if you put in the work. She grades fairly and clearly, and makes herself available to you for help. She also cares about each of her students well being.

If you pay attention & take notes, you should be fine. Always available to help students. Lectures can get long, but she makes an effort to throw in some humor and modern day connections - plus she brings candy to class sometimes.

Professor Dietz is by far one of my favorite professors at Davidson. Although she's a tough grader, especially on papers, our in-class discussions are amazing and she knows what she's talking about. Also, if you ever need help on assignments or papers, she's more than willing to help. Love, love, love this teacher and I always look forward to class

One of Davidson History Department's greats. She's a superb lecturer and keeps class interesting. She's good with allowing students to pop into the conversation. You'll really have to work to get a good grade as she's a tough grader, but she's not impossible by any means. If you want a great class experience, take her. Brit hist mostly. Foxy, too.

The most genuinely kind and caring professor I've had at Davidson. Very interesting lectures, fair reviews, light reading assignments. Would definitely reccomend this class to those trying to get their history requirement out of the way rather painlessly.

Prof. Dietz was awesome! The lectures were super interesting and more or less contained everything you needed to know for the tests, through you do need to read at least part of every primary source. She's a bit of a hard grader, but if you're having trouble, her office hours are very helpful.

Hard class but she was very encouraging and tried to make discussion more interesting. Unfortunately this was the most boring semester of Humes. She was great though.

Comment:

She leads discussion on a leash, allowing for little-to-no chance for input from other students. She is very knowledgable of the subject, but sometimes lectures more than allowing the students to make their own conclusions.

She's a great professor, always available to help you with a paper. She'll even look at the same paper 3 or 4 times if that's what you need. She's a tough grader, but fair, and she gives long explanations at the end of a graded assignement telling you where you went wrong and what your strong points are. Also a great lecturer.

Dr. Dietz was one of the best teachers I've had at Davidson. She tried so hard to get students involved in discussions--it didn't always work, but i wasn't watching the clock in her class.
