Reviews of professor Diane Dakers

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Diane knows what she is doing, but she cannot teach. She does not answer questions fully, and expects you to know everything she wants you to know from a bare-bones syllabus. Assignment critiques are not clear, and using different TAs to mark each assignment make consistency very hard.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Diane knows what she's talking about when it comes to journalism. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and felt I learned a lot. Although she does randomly take 2 class assignments for attendance through the term. If you're looking to become a journalist or even improve your writing, I recommend this class.

Clearly knows how to be a journalist, but a terrible prof. Didn't explain things well and expected us to understand what we were doing. Assignments were sometimes unclear and marking seemed subjective. I wouldn't recommend WRIT120 as a fine arts elective.

I took this course as an elective and I thought the assignments were pretty cool and a good way to apply course material practically. We did interviews for most assignments and at first, I was uncomfortable with that because I'm a bit shy but it was great in the end! I learned a lot as someone who has not taken any writing or journalism courses.
