Diaz Campo

AVOID. Makes class unnecessarily challanging, misleads students as to what will be on the exam, and makes her section way harder then the other teachers. Has to curve exams so much because students are so unprepared and generally perform so poorly... the average on her exams is usually around a 50%.

She is so caring, smart, and passionate. Yes, the class is really hard, but she will do everything to help her students; she cares and is very reasonable. If you go to TA office hours, you will get problem-set answers, but MAKE SURE to go to her office hours and stay for the whole time. She will teach you lots, and that time is very valuable.

Professor Diaz-Campo does have more difficult tests, but she curves each test so that the average is an 85. Her lectures are thorough and easy to understand. Problem sets tend to be longer than necessary, but the office hours provided by the TAs and/or herself make them extremely doable. Show up, study, and you'll be fine.

Her lectures aren't bad and she's a nice person - plus the curve is best in her class - but she does move really fast, gives out pop quizzes, problem sets are long, and tests are pretty hard and may include content not covered in class. I would recommend trying to take MEC290 with a different professor if possible

Professor Diaz-Campo is a diligent and caring professor; she is always open to answering questions. Attendance isn't mandatory, but she will give pop quizzes. If you can't come just email, she is very understanding. MEC will always be a hard course but as long as you come to class and study well you'll do fine, don't be fooled by the salty reviews.

Abnormally difficult and fast-paced class compared to the other professors for this course. Not the greatest lecturer either.

Worst professor in the B school. Lectures are terrible, she makes no sense in class, and the test are nothing like any homework or class or practice test. You can't do good in this class. Don't take her. Take it in the fall just to have another teacher.

I sent an email to her inquiring about my final grade and found out that I had earned an A. I had been striving for an A since my grade was very near the cutoff point. My performance met the challenging standards set by the professor. The professor believed that I had the potential to excel in business. Do not take her class!!!!!

MEC 290 is a rigorous and very fast paced class. Although her exams were ridiculously difficult, Professor Diaz-Campo is very accessible outside of class and is willing to work with you to improve your grade. Make sure you participate in class and attend those office hours to be clear on exam contents. Also take the Problem sets seriously!!

Yes, her exams are fast-paced, but that doesn't mean she doesn't teach. In my opinion, her teaching was not bad. And if you find that you aren't getting much from the lectures, they're recorded for later reference. Her office hours are super helpful, too, and she's communicative via email. Overall a good, kind professor.

If you can keep up with her fast-paced lectures and somehow manage to teach yourself the concepts that are on the exam (that she barely covers), you will do great in this class. If not, you will still do okay. She's a somewhat friendly professor and will be generous about exam content if you attend her office hours. Overall, not a bad professor!

Very boring and average teacher. She knows her stuff well but lectures aren't very engaging. The first test was very hard but second much easier. It's her first year so I'm sure she'll adapt the tests to be more fair. Never calls on people. Just a boring class
