Reviews of professor Rachel Allen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
It is apparent that Rachel cares for her students greatly. She is accessible outside of class and always provides thorough feedback when grading. She makes her lectures easy to understand. The class is not difficult at all and Rachel grades generously. Be prepared to read and apply those readings to each class.

Took a 5-week summer class. I highly suggest finding another professor to take to fulfill this credit. Elementary curriculum/assignments but harshly graded by overly strict rubrics. Takes too long to grade to gain feedback and lectures were unhelpful or late w/ lack of communication. Listen to the others telling you to find a different class/prof

This class is extremely easy. No doubt. So if you want to have barely any work to do, but learn things you've already learned throughout middle and high school, go for it. She isn't responsive to emails, and takes a while to grade. Her feedback is ok, and there's an unnecessary attendance grade. This feels like high school, not college.

She's nice, but she takes FOREVER to grade. I have been waiting all semester for a grade. I've taken her previously, and teaching just is not her thing. Her due dates are flexible, which is nice, but she is rarely available and takes forever to respond to emails. Also, things are never available when she says they will be. She's pretty unreliable.

I really like Ms Allen. She is very helpful to all her students. She always goes over assignments in class when their assigned as well as when they're due. If the whole class is confused, or instructions were unclear, she'll give an extension. Taking good notes will help a LOT. Most of the quizzes and assignments are based on the lectures.

1st day of class: informed us the reason she became a teacher is "failure to launch" (ie. NO CLUE what to do with her degree). I should've hit the door & never looked back. HANDS DOWN, 1 of the WORST instructors. EVER. She's rarely prepared, lacks knowledge of course material, & SUPER easily offended. Watch out 4 random pop quizzes! AVOID!! 100%

This course is pretty easy, many of the concepts are straightforward on their own but professor Allen also does a great job of clearing up any misconceptions. If you do your work with a decent bit of effort you will pass this course. Attendance is mandatory and class usually goes the full time, but if you engage with the work the time passes quick.

I took COM 212 not 216** 

Professor Allen is great! She was responsive and helpful whenever I had questions. The format is great for an online course and the videos are easy to follow. You have two exams that are worth 40% of your grade, but they are open-note and have extra credit embedded in them. I enjoyed this course!
