Reviews of professor Robert Allen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
took this to fill time slot thinking it wouldn't be too bad. The assignments aren't but the written assignments are terrible, he is makes us use APA format which none of my classmates ive emailed have ever used that and grades it like our lives depend on how accurate the format is, if we do one format wrong he takes off so many points. Unreasonable

Prof Allen is one of my favorite professors I have ever taken. He is such a nerd about plants and he's very enthusiastic and his attitude about the subject makes it so much easier to learn and pay attention to. The class itself isn't very hard, as long as you pay attention to his lectures it makes the assignments really easy to do and pass.

Didn't know who Stitch was from the hit Disney movie Lilo and Stitch. Very dissapointing Allen. >:(

He assigns so much busy work and does not clearly state how he wants the paper. He is very vague and a VERY tough grader. When you reach out to him with a question he will reply with a rude response. His exams are 4 essays questions with only an HOUR (we should get an hour 15 like a normal class). Plus he makes us use examity for essay questions.

He truly is a great professor! His lectures are very well put and very intriguing! The coursework is not heavy, but you will learn so much!!! I wish I could take all his classes!

Robert Allen is the best professor that Ive had no doubt. He really cares about his students and puts in the work to make sure they can succeed. Even though he never told me if he liked my strawberry Lindt chocolate I gave him Im sure he appreciated it. He is very well spoken and easy to talk to if youre having difficulty. Take his class!

We don't play academic MadLibs in class and I wish we did.

I really enjoyed my introduction to lit. Course. Even though the class only met a few times this course, because of COVID, the work that we had to was interesting and did not bore me. Professor Allen was really easy going and let his students go outside of the box with their work. Overall would definitely take again.

No group projects, so that's a plus. But if you have the option to NOT take him, DO IT. Gives very vague instructions, is very moody/emtional to an unprofessional extent, gives assignments with an unreasonable amount of work/expectations. If you are a masochist, take him. Otherwise, steer clear.

He is such an amazing teacher, I would listen to him lecture about anything because even if you aren't interested his lectures engage you!
