Reviews of professor Allyson Roof

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
To be completely honest, I never went to a single lecture besides the first one for this class. Roof seems nice though, and the favorable ratings seem accurate. Just read and memorize the info from the slides for both lecture exams and lab practicals and getting a good grade will be easy.

was online both lecture and textbook notes are important, don't write everything down its time consuming & you'll fall behind,quizes based on lecture notes mostly, webcam for tests MEMORIZE or learn your labelings for body parts and their functions and all its always on the test.

Dr. Roof is very nice and explains concepts well! Her lectures are very straightforward and relatively easy to understand. As long as you pay attention to lectures and don't study last minute for exams, you should be able to get a good grade. If you don't go to lectures in person, lecture videos are provided on D2L. Would definitely recommend Roof!

I really enjoyed Dr. Roof's portion of this class as she co-taught with Dr. Stanescu. She worked hard to really exaggerate what is on the tests. 99% of the information you need to know is on the slides. I studied slides over and over and earned an A on every exam. Her blocks all flowed together really well.

I had Roof for half the semester before she left for maternity leave, but she was an amazing professor who truly cared for you. She wants all her students to succeed and you can see it through how accessible she is and her amazing lectures. Definitely test heavy, but she does a great job preparing you! She's the professor you want for this class

Dr. Roof explains the material very well. The only reason why this course can be difficult is because of its context, but she makes it very easy to be able to ask questions and be prepared. I would recommend going in person, but that's just me some people were able to pass without every going to a lecture. The lab practicals are tough! STUDY!!

Dr. Roof was very nice and understanding. She was great at explaining things and was willing to further help me understand concepts in office hours. Pay attention in class and add to her slides on things she talks about and you should be good. PSIO requires a lot of studying but if you put the work in, she will help.

Dr. Roof was a big reason I have done well in the physiology program. She's made learning material accessible, clear outline of learning objectives, and lecture was helpful as well.  Dr. Roof made sure to give us pointers on how to study physiology, I believe she cared for our success.
