Reviews of professor Allyson Roof

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Concepts aren't hard just a lot of memorization. If you can avoid taking online do it. practicals and lecture are in same test. external webcam proctor. Go to SI sessions and workshops. 1 quiz, 1 hw, 1 prefab and panopticon lecture with embedded questions for points. Dissections are mailed to you. Much harder online.

I really enjoyed this class. It was easy to follow and she taught slowly and it was super comprehensive. She is also super nice and will answer any questions you have.

Absolutely my favorite professor at the U of A. She is a great lecturer, well-spoken and clear about her expectations. I had her for PSIO201 and PSIO487, and both classes were informative and interesting, very worthwhile! Tests and HW are always fair. Having her as a professor is an absolute privilege, take her classes whenever you get the chance!

I loved this class and found the information very interesting. Exams were difficult but if you put the time and effort in then you will do fine. Roof and Stanescu are both great professors and had great lectures, the exams reflected the same information presented in the lecture slides. Recommend going to SI sessions and weekly reviews.

Roof's lectures were engaging and easy to follow, test criteria was made clear and all questions were fair game.  Overall great professor, made a challenging class easy to learn.

Solid professor. Lectures are online but it's better to go to class you'll probably get more out of it. Lots of office hours, tests are 35 multiple choice questions in 40 minutes and there isn't a final. Not too bad if you study. (Lab's much more difficult, definitely go to TA office hours for lab).

Roof was awesome in PSIO 201. She had very organized lectures that were easy to follow. We also would do 5-10 practice questions in class every day which was a GREAT way to figure out what you need to spend more time studying. You need to put in the work in this course but if you are willing to do that I would say its a pretty easy A.

Dr. Roof is an amazing professor. I loved every moment of this class. A lot of upperclassmen will try to scare you by saying this class is impossible. However, you can easily obtain at least a B with some studying. There is a textbook that I didn't read. Anatomy is a different kind of studying, but it's attainable to get an A.

Dr. Roof has been my favorite professor at the University of Arizona so far. She genuinely cares about her students and wants us to succeed. She made PSIO 201 a manageable class through her thoughtful lectures and real-world examples/applications. 1000% recommend her for PSIO 201. SHE WAS GREAT!
