Reviews of professor Allison Gordon

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
There are not a lot of assignments in this class at all, just exams and papers. The tests are set up so you have to remember almost exactly what the professor said which means the emphasis is more on memorization than understanding. I always got a few points off on papers but was never given any explanation as to why.

One kid cheated and the whole class was punished from the reminder of the semester with lockdown browser and time to exams went from 1 hour to 20 minutes. The exams are hard in the first place. Do not take, she will tank your gpa.

This class is a lot tougher than it might seem. Be prepared to come to class, take plenty of notes, and read the textbook. Exams require some studying, but if you come to class and read you should be fine. She offers extra credit at the end of the semester which helps!

You are allowed up to 8 absences which is more than reasonable. There are 5 tests (50 points each) and a SONA grade (25 points) that's it. She allows for extra credit for each test (10 points) which ends up equaling a test grade. She is a fantastic professor and would highly recommend. If you study/take notes you should do fine.

She is nice, but requires you to almost memorize every word she says in the class. Trickiest tests I have ever had. She offers only 5 exams and with the amount of information she wants you to memorize and the difficulty of tests, its a very hard class.

She is INCREDIBLE! Every class is a discussion about the readings/writings for the week. At first it was super intimidating at but she is so nice and makes your comments feel important and will engagee with your thoughts. Like she genuinely cares about what you think about the topics. She is also super caring and wants her students to succeed.

I have always done extremely well in school and I almost didn't pass. No joke she almost requires to you memorize everything she says or shows in lectures. Her test questions are vague and easily could make case for multiple answers. For a basic com class it is extremely difficult. I would rather take calc again this remember every word she says.

Only 5 exams in this class. You get 25 points for finishing a SONA Credit. NO ROOM FOR ERROR! She is super nice but just gives you no second chances when it comes to the exams. She needs to know that exams do not define how well you know the material. Take if you have to but she would not be my first choice.
