Diane Stottlemyer - Capella's Dirty Little Secret!

Photo of Diane Stottlemyer wearing a dunce cap: Graduate of Lacrosse University - a Diploma MillOne of Capella University's primary selling points is that they are "an accredited online university" - just try a simple Google search and see how many thousands of times this phrase turns up! Then, when you're done and ready to spend nearly two thousand dollars on a class with one of their fine instructors, you'll want to also know that they hire individuals, like DOCTOR Diane Stottlemyer, to "teach" graduate level courses! The only problem is, Diane Stottlemyer bought her "master's degree" and "doctorate" from a diploma mill! That's right Diane Stottlemyer bought her "degrees" from Lacrosse University - a "school" that is widely recognized as being a complete scam - a total fraud. That; however, didn't stop Capella University from hiring her - heck, they continue to allow her to "teach" - many years after they found out! Equally disgusting is the fact that Kurt Linberg, Capella's incompetent Dean of their School of Technology, happens to be one of Diane's supporters at Capella and, even now, refers to her with the bogus title, "Doctor" Stottlemyer.

Pathetically, Diane Stottlemyer continues to worm her way into places where she doesn't belong - all the while leaving an ever-changing trail of "degrees" behind her. In fact, her list of "degrees" seems to wane faster than the changing of the tides but that hasn't stopped her. She also remains on the "faculty" at Franklin University. While her bio there once listed her "degrees" from Lacrosse, at the moment, she only lists her impressive Bachelor's of General Studies (BGS) degree from Indiana University.

It also needs to be noted that Diane Stottlemyer is the instructor who is at the very core of the lawsuit that has been filed against Capella University on allegations that they intentionally violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and retaliated against the student, who they intentionally subjected to Stottlemyer's incompetence.

Disturbingly, the Diane Stottlemyer fiasco only continues to grow and, if the latest reports (September 2005) that she is now serving on a committee to define "accesibility standards" are true, we will report on this outrage when our information has been confirmed.

Due to the ever-increasing amount of information on this unscrupulous and dishonest charlatan, we're now devoting several pages to her. We're sure you'll want to view:

DOCTOR Diane Stottlemyer's Illustrious Publishing Career

Seldom does one find book reviews on sites such as Amazon.com with ratings as horrible as those posted for DOCTOR Diane's "Automated Web Testing Toolkit:_ Expert Methods for Testing and Managing Web Applications." Interestingly, Kurt Linberg, who is the dean and "executive director" for not one, but two "schools" at Capella University is one of the few to give this book a decent rating. Hmmmm... Just taking a looking at the titles of the ratings will give the reader an indication regarding the "quality" of this "book" - perhaps it was DOCTOR Stottlemyer's "dissertation" at Lacrosse University!

A sampling of some of titles for the reviews found on Amazon include:

  • One of the worst books I've ever read!!
  • Obsolete and Dangerously Misleading
  • Should be Named "NOT Automated Web Testing"
  • Expert methods? A Total Disappointment

In addition, here's another review by the Association of C & C++ Users. That review states:

"The author [Diane Stottlemyer] is a 'Certified software test engineer' and this book reads like a 1980s Quality Assurance manual, which has been reworked (a little) to weave in the latest languages and techniques. The book has the feel of a number of different 'seminars' bolted together, in no particular order."

Makes you want to go out and buy it right now!
