Comment:

DO NOT ever take this woman as a professor, just finished my appeal and grade review, even though I was a 4.00 student after taking honors classes, the school still took her side, NO STUDENT EVER WINS A GRADE REVIEW. No matter how good your GPA prior to getting a bad professor. Not worth the damage to your GPA.

Comment:

I was a 4.0 student before I took this course. She is 100% useless as a teacher. She lost home work more times than any human being could count, she rarely tested on what she lectured on, she is scatter brained, totally goes off task, has her favorites and there is no way a student will ever win a grade review. EVER.

Comment:

This instructor offers a challenge. She expects you to apply the information she lectures on. She makes herself avaliable beyond class time. She will also work with you if you are having trouble in her class. If you're looking for an easy class don't take her, you have to work for your grade in her class.

Nice teacher! Unorganized! I pulled out an A in the class because as a class we talked her into extra credit and letting us know exactly was would be on the exams! ASK QUESTIONS because she makes mistakes A LOT! I recommend her BUT you have to be patient with her..and keep her on top of things!

Comment:

She is VERY unorganized!!! She will start on one subject and go off in her own little world, rambling about things that dont matter. Her quizzes are easy. Her assignments are a waste (you seriously have to google to find answers) her exams are hard, only 1/4 of the exam is actually covered in the class. Speak up! Alot of HER answers will be wrong.

Comment:

A very nice person, but she is very unorganized, scatter brained, and not clear on the things she teaches. I worked my butt off for my B in her class. If you have to take her, be ready for a long semester. Nothing she teaches is on her Exams or quizes. So its totally up to you to study what she doesnt go over! & She NEVER uses the text book! :(

Comment:

I have always been a A student, until I took this class. Mrs Knox is a very nice person, but, is very unorganized, lost our homework and our tests on several occasions. If you value your GPA DONT TAKE HER CLASS! No one can believe she is still teaching. Many people have argued grades in grade reviews,student NEVER WINS. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASSES!!

Deidra is a nice person. The class is kinda hard and there's alot of material. If you study and actually read your textbook you will pass. I ended up with an A in her class. If you dont read the textbook or don't like to study, then you won't do good.

What can I say about Deidra...well she is a nice lady, took her winter 2010, class is extremely difficult but there is a lot of material to go over, she is unorganized and easily distracted but she is great teacher and extremely smart. Study her lecture, do case studies, study the packets and you will be fine. Dont expect an easy A. Good luck

Comment:

WORST TEACHER EVER!!! I took her for 152 and I had a 3.8 before taking her class, and my grade went way down. SHe lost my homework countless times, never tested on what she attempted to teach, and she was so scatter brained that she never got anything across in her lectures. She never has any answers for your questions. She just sucked!

WORST TEACHER EVER.I have been a straight A student for as long as I can remember and I have never gotten anything less that an A- on a test and I think I passed 2 of her exams, nothing she lectures about is on the tests, very scattered and lazy

Comment:

Worst teacher ever. She takes way to long to get through chapters, because some days she doesnt feel like teaching. I work at a hospital and gave Drs our hand outs and test they saod they were stupid un answerable questions. She marked me down on the handouts on endochronology, and the best Dr of endochronology did it for me. Horrible teacher.

Comment:

Do not take her, you will have to retake the class anyways. Her tests are over nothing she covers in class. She gives you homework and tells you to find the answer on google and then says that the assignments won't be on the test. What is the point in them then? Everything is done on the internet and homework is due on saturdays.

Comment:

Taking Knox is a BIG mistake. Always late. Forgets papers at home. Leaves for long periods of time. Gives assignments without directions. Won't answer e-mails. U have to self-teach. My 3.9GPA went way down. Asked her for help several times and was blown off.

She is very unorganized for someone who is teaching. You are basically teaching yourself in this class.

Comment:

Took this class in the spring. Diedra was always at least 15 minutes late and would sometimes leave class for extended periods of time. All of her tests were take home and very difficult, they rarely covered anything we talked about in class or in the book. It is possible to do well, you just have to be on top of things and do all of your homework.

Comment:

I took her for the spring semester. She is very difficult. Her tests were all take home and impossible! The answers were very hard to find. She is a very smart lady, but should not be teaching a college level class with this material. Her homework assignments were very in depth and difficult also.

Comment:

Diedra is extremely knowledgeable and tries hard to convey the material in lecture. HOWEVER, she expects students to self teach. She stated in BIO 240 that students may be required to do additional research outside of lecture/textbook if necessary to grasp the concepts. BIO 240 and 241 are meant to be more challenging than the other A&P classes.
