Don't take this course with her unless you have to. Super insensitive and the class environment was extremely uncomfortable with her rude comments. You'll end up with an A, but it was obvious that no one in the class wanted to be there, even the ones that truly cared and wanted to learn more about disability rights.Rate My Professors ↗

Original student reviews · all captured dates
Dian is a sweetheart with a lot of real experience to share with her students. She asks her students to be at every class and it was not hard to be there very week. She has really fun speakers come to class every week. I barely had to read all semester. Easy A if you attend lecture and do all assignments.Rate My Professors ↗
Her strong suit is not lecturing, but she gets you to participate and engage in class. Read the textbook, and youll ace the final. A big common sense course. Easy homework load. Super understanding when it comes to the service learning project, and is very willing to work with you and help you!Rate My Professors ↗
