Reviews of professor Ginger Allington

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Took this class as a senior because I thought it would be easy, it was definitely NOT. I worked so so hard just to keep up with the pace of the class. Pop quizzes, random assignments, and tests will keep you on your toes.

Prof Allington is great! you can tell she really knows a lot and is passionate about the subject. She gives 3 exams, including the final which is not cumulative. she does give pop quizzes on the reading but they're quite simple, and a big essay. She mostly uses lecture slides but occasionally brings in guest speakers and group projects.

One of the toughest classes I have taken at GW thus far. Allington constantly changes the structure of her exams and it is very easy to lose points. Rambles in class and doesn't explain things very well. Don't recommend as an introductory class.

Allington teaches the class as if all students are Geography majors and does not put in the effort to make sure her students are understanding the material. Don't recommend.

Lectures are a bit random and prof will go on slight tangents. Beware of long research paper and pop quizzes. Although she does give hints as to when these quizzes will be. Go to TA review sessions and study for exams and you'll do well. Overall, good class and not super hard to do pretty well.
