Reviews of professor Allyson Brothers

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This is the Capstone for HDFS majors, so it is a challenging course but Dr. Brothers did not give helpful feedback. A lot of the time she was vague and graded extremely tough. Things were not graded in a timely manner so it was difficult to know what needed improvement. There are multiple assignments each week. Some assignments has a grace period.

Dr. Brothers was okay. I personally do not think I learned anything in this class for the most part. It was completely asynchronous and the lectures were directly from the textbook with no explanation for anything. The class was weirdly structured, one week there was nothing and other week there were 3 major assignments. However, it was an easy A.

I love this woman! She was a wonderful professor, with an excellent energy. She was incredibly kind, and even though the class content was very manageable, I still felt like I learned a lot! Definitely take a class with her if you have the chance!

I really like Allyson. She spreads out the assignments well, I really appreciate how I dont have to bend over backwards for a good grade, and Im still learning a lot in the process. Shes really good about positive reinforcement, is picky only when she needs to be, and its a prettt easy A if you just put in time to study and do the work!

Dr. Brothers was such an amazing professor! She does very little lecturing but focuses on guest speakers, there are no tests except for the online final which was pretty easy. The class is interesting and I learned a lot, the grades are made up of group projects and volunteer work but she is very understanding. Overall an impactful and great class!

The biggest thing to know about her gerontology course is that you do have to volunteer a certain amount of hours. I personally struggled with this part as its lot like we don't have enough work as it is in other classes and I also worked full time. Overall if you don't plan on working with older adults, you will completely despise this class.

Dr. Brothers was an amazing kind hearted professor. She explains all coursework very clearly, and gives many opportunities to get your grade up. 100% would take a course with her again, and you will not be let down.

One of my favorite teachers. She really cares about the success of her students. She does an excellent job of helping you learn and absorb the material without overloading you with too much work. You will have to read quite a bit, but if you pace yourself and take good notes then it's no trouble at all. Her guided worksheet assignments really help!
