Reviews of professor Allison Pelletier

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Allison is INCREDIBLE. I've never received better feedback on my writing, and I honestly believe I'm a stronger writer after having her - if you're already a good writer, this is a good professor to take. I think she's a better professor people who are already confident in their writing and want to sharpen it. Such a kind, wonderful person.

Prof. Pelletier is very nice and the class is very easy. It does tend to drag and it feels like a lot of the time in there isn't necessary, but it is a laid back environment. She is always willing to help out and doesn't lecture too much, instead focusing on group peer reviews.

Absolutely awful human being to say the least. Her class is very straightforward, as I was taking it async. But, if you ever need to reach out to her, don't expect the smallest amount of help or understanding. She is literally the definition of cold-hearted. I wish nothing but the worst for her in life.

Honestly she's been the best proffessor I had so far. Her lectures are entertaining and she sympathizes with the students. Also if you ever need help she would help you as much as possible. You can take 2 classes off, she really promotes mental health, but participation is necessary. She doesn't require you to buy the book as well.

Im sure Allison is a nice person and a good writer, but her class leaves a lot to be desired. She fails to give me helpful feedback and doesnt seem to know how to run class time.

Although everything is done asynchronously, the structure of this course seemed very well organized. The expectations for the assignments and writing assessments are always clear. She is a fair grader and consistently provides thoughtful feedback.

I personally did not find Ms. Pelletier to teach in a professional manner. She was clearly not an experienced instructor, and she did not know how to manage classroom time effectively. Furthermore, her feedback and instructions were always worded in a convoluted manner and were therefore not very helpful.

Solid choice for WRD 103/104. She is fun but is there to get her job done. Very good at explaining and giving feedback on your writing. Assigns more work than most professors do but it is only to benefit you. You will come out a stronger writer if you take her. PARTICIPATE AND ASK QUESTIONS! Weekly discussion boards and a couple of papers.

I took this course ASYNC and it was very simple to follow. The only "textbook" was the NYT but you can get a student discount. The assignments are fairly easy and by the time you get to the final essay, you have lots of feedback and should know what you need to fix. Make sure to take the reflection and remediation seriously, and you'll be fine!
