Reviews of professor Rodney Allen

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I say textbook used because you have to teach yourself with this guy. We talk about current events which is fine but we don't get tested on it so its almost pointless to not talk about it. Not good at grading or keeping grades posted so who knows what i have with my extra credit assignments. Bulk points come from a group paper/presentation.

He is one of the best professors I've ever had. His lectures are engaging and inspiring. He does mental check ins with all his students at the start of every class. I switched to have him as my advisor because he truly goes above and beyond for his students. He is very honest and pushes you to grow.

really nice guy but very tough grader, but makes a lot of mistakes when grading. Double check his grading! study guides are really long but the content is not always on the test. class is spent talking about current events more so than the material we are supposed to be learning. majority of homework is based on a final group project.

Dr. Allen is a nice professor and cares about his students. He might be good for more higher level social work courses, but I felt this class was not organized good for a 200 level. The group project was worth so much of the grade and you do it all by yourself. The midterm was not open notes/book, the final was.
