Reviews of professor Allison Anacker

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Alison is great. She explains things very clearly but goes through the material very quickly. There are a lot of assignments in the class and the TAs do grade pretty hard, so you definitely need to be thoughtful. The exams are online, but you NEED to study for them. If you put in the work you should be fine

Dr. Anacker is great! Her pacing and way of explaining in lectures are great, and I feel like I learn so much by just taking notes in class. Also, the homework assignments are actually useful and relatively fun to do compared to other stem classes whose assignments are all multiple choice on pearson or something. Would definitely take again!

She is alright. Not the best but not the worst

Feedback like no other. Amazing lectures. you'll apply your knowledge in such useful ways- she's creative and passionate and I am gaining SO many skills from the work she assigns. I love it, but don't be fooled into thinking she cares about you. You'll feel stupid, hurt, and embarrassed if you reach out for support. Would recommend!

Allison is great, but I was in the semester where Molly Stanley taught the first half the class and she's not her prof to rate here. Prof Stanley is smart, but she's not a good teacher. She can't explain things or answer questions. If you can take the class where Prof. Stanley doesn't co-teach, that would be your best bet

Prof. Anacker was very helpful on email and it was extremely helpful that she was lenient with the timing of some homework assignments. The course she taught was very interesting and the class discussions were interesting. Prof. Anacker was a very good choice for the HCOL 085 Lecture. Participation matters

I took Anacker in NSCI 111 and had mixed feelings, but she is great at presenting upper level material in NSCI 215 a way that is really understandable. She takes time to give students practice with concepts being learned and is really responsive to questions! She really takes the time to make sure everyone is understanding the material.

Professor Anacker is very intelligent and kind. The only "complaint" I have is that she goes over material very quickly, so it definitely helps to download the slides so you can review them before and after class, then approach her with questions.

Her exams are very hard. They are all based on her lectures, which she speeds through. Exam q's are very specific, be prepared to memorize everything. Rarely seems to care that the majority of her class gets C's or lower on exams. Would not take another class with her.
