Reviews of professor Allyson Brothers

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I enjoyed this course and it was not too difficult. There is a weekly discussion but you only need to post and not reply (very doable). She covers the material well at a good pace and the only test is the final. There are a couple of projects, but they work well for the class. I would suggest her for HDFS 312.

Dr. Brothers has become one of my favorite professors at CSU! She sets high standards for her students to meet but she is just as involved too. You definitely have to do the work and cannot just "wing it". Although one of the toughest prof. I have had I would take one of courses again! If you're ready to put the work in then take her class! : )

Dr Brothers puts the fan in fantastic. I found her research upon human development & gerontology intriguing and she incorporates it into lectures. Definitely a good professor to have behind you if youre looking to further study these 2 fields. Very nice & polite person, too.

Dr. Brothers is my favorite professor. She incorporates several strategies into teaching that can help any learner (ppt, online notes, great lectures, accessible) She genuinely cares for her students and really helped me figure out what my next steps were.

This class with Dr. Brothers was great! It is not very overwhelming, there is a quiz for each module, 5 homework assignments, and 3 discussions. There are no exams (or finals) but there are two projects throughout the semester. As long as you stay on top of the work and follow the grading criteria for each assignment, you will do great!

I loved Dr. Brothers! She was very communicative and responded to my emails in a timely manner. Her course was very well organized- which I find very helpful for success especially in an online class. She offered several extra credit opportunities and sent out reminders frequently about assignments and due dates.

Dr. Brothers is tough, this is not going to be an easy class by any means and she will grade harshly. The good news is though is that she is very responsive to questions and also does not talk down to you. She is very open with communication and I really enjoyed this class.
