Reviews of professor Elizabeth Allen

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
By far the meanest teacher I've ever had. She's extremely strict & no empathy. I have learning disabilities & a 504 but it's been so hard getting her to understand and help me out. Gives the absolute bare minimum bc its required by state law that they have to follow it but I should not be begging to get help. I do not recommend taking this course.

This professor was truly out of a nightmare. Completely lacks even an ounce of understanding and empathy. She does not actually teach during her prerecorded lectures, just skims over what you need to do and sends you on your way. The homework and tests are all through a separate site. You pay more for materials than what the class is really worth.

Elizabeth is a great professor who is passionate about the subject she teaches. She wants students to definitely get the subject, but there is a little too much work at times. Read a chapter, take a chapter quiz, read through a module, take a module quiz, and depending on the week, there is a discussion. Final exam as well.

expects you do do 14 hours a week in class loads of homework and made the final due the week before finals week so some people didn't even get a chance to do it. Just a cookie cutter Aleks class that has no real class besides Aleks. no actual homework or problems just one big premade Aleks class.

While the professor is enthusiastic about the subject all work is done through an online program. Homework, quizzes, and tests are all done through an online math program which made it very difficult for me personally. You are required to read the text before class and she will tend to rush problems lecture to go over more, not very helpful at all.

Likes to skip steps so she can go through more problems in class. Very difficult to follow along when she skips steps on problems while teaching a new topic. I've found errors in her work on the board in class and she makes an excuse about too much coffee. Very nice, but awkward and not very helpful.

Dr. Allen is a great teacher with a very well constructed online class. The grading criteria is super clear and you still learn a lot from the class. 100% take her if you can.

Prof Allen is probably as good as you're going to find for an English professor. Really clear rubrics and if you still don't understand she will explain. Pretty easy grader as long as you avoid really simple spelling, grammatical, and structural mistakes. Easy to contact and missing a class or two is not a big deal.

This has got to be the worst instructor I've ever had. Assigns way too much homework and makes the exam harder, sometimes on stuff she never taught. Does not give sufficient support to students for how difficult the course can be. I met with her during office hours about a homework problem and she couldn't even solve her own homework???? Hard pass
