Reviews of professor Maureen Allen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If you have the option to take Professor Allen, do so. I think the criticism she receives is unfair. She cares for her students and wants what's best for them. The lack of satisfaction with homework in the class is not her fault as she is required to use Cengage and G-Metrix. She is considerate, willing to extend assignments, and gives out EC.

If you do your work you do great. If you don't you won't pass the class

She's a great person but gives crazy amounts of work. She does extend deadlines if you need it and really does care about her students. The content can be difficult to learn but she will find ways to give you extra credit.

Maureen did not follow the curriculum and would assign extra work. Most of my Friday's were spent in tutoring getting help on assignments. GMetrix is a faulty program she uses that will not display half of the questions on the exam resulting in multiple attempts and many hours in order to pass. She also does not announce class updates in class.

Prof Allen is very focussed on student success and truly wants to get everyone certified in Excel. She usually will give you extra time on assignments if you ask for them. Lectures can sometimes be long and drawn out but you generally can leave class early if you don't need help on anything. CIS 1060 is a tough class and Allen makes it manageable.
