She is able to keep the material real and made learning the material interesting.
I had her for Intro to hospitality and loved her as a teacher. In 110, the material is a bit more confusing but she is available to go over the material to help clarify what you don't understand.
Prof. Allen was great. She didn't grade harsh at all and tries to make it as painless as possible. She teaches from experience more than the book, but still relates it to the book. She is very entertaining to listen to and I would take another class with her in a heart beat. Only downfall is tat she is often very vague about guidelines and rubric.
Best professor I have ever had, she makes learner fun and really relates the subject to our culinary careers. Best thing to every happen to the business section of the hospitality department.
She relates the material into real life examples. She is fun, interesting and fair with grading. Loved going to her classes!
Hell yeah! lol love this class i will take all classes offered by his teaher
By far my favorite teacher in the Hospitality Department and would recommend her for students to take her for class. She is able to relate the course material to real world situations. I would take more classes with her as the teacher.
She is the type of teacher who is wanting each student to succeed. She is able to relate the material to real life things that we will eventually be faced with. Highly recommend taking a class with her
To describe her in one word: Awesome. I've only had one class with her, now that I'm finishing my degree and I wish I could have taken other classes with her. She is hilarious, keeps the class highly entertaining and easily relates the material to real life situations. An absolute Hoot she is.
Great teacher .I love this class :) She makes it entertaining. Willing to help you understand anything :)
She was entertaining and kind. Enjoyed her as a person not so much a Professor. Feel she may have too much on her plate, disorganized in many areas.
Love love love Prof. Allen! She makes class so much fun!!! She is a really nice lady
Prof Al hands downs is a wonderful professor and human. She is always there and quick to respond to any questions. Thanks :)
If you're going to take any science classes for the Hospitality Degrees at Sinclair, Professor Dawn Allen is perfect! She is funny and you learn a lot from her if you pay attention and do your work. She gives the best lectures and you just have to be there to understand. She is beloved by most of her students that have taken her classes.
The most wonderful professor, lady, and friend you could ever make. she is extremely intelligent, talented, and easy on the eyes. She keeps class entertaining. Her only fault is that she is toooooooooooo lenient on students , making her grading slow and last minute. I and many others truly love her and would take any class she teaches.
Has a great sense of humor, really cares for her students. She knows what she is talking about and loves to help in any way. Although if you need to find her outside of class, it will be very hard.
She makes learning fun. Never a dull moment in class. She has a positive attitude and wants you to get excited about learning. She is a teacher I choose over and over again. She is fair and understanding and will answer any questions. Homework is pretty straight forward. in class labs and lab papers to turn in next class and online quizzes.
I could not ask for a better and respected Professor. Coming from a different country and trying to achieve what is needed, I could not ask for a better and more respected Professor then Dawn Allen. I have learnt so much in my classes and also in helping me with my self-confidence. You are one of my biggest inspiration .Thank you for all you do.
Going through so much in my life, you had so much confidence and faith in my ability to do well. Your kindness and devotion to students and you always seem to have such a great smile, no matter how your day is going. I cannot thank you for all you have done for me. Thank you Professor.
I would recommend every student studying Culinary to take a class with Prof Allen. The most beautiful and kind person.
This class is all about studying! The main part of this course is to pass the exam and the book is used every single class. I had this class for half a semester which is why studying is heavy and you will go through the entire book. Prof. Allen is absolutely amazing and hilarious. I loved going to her class. She has one of the best personalities :)
I loved her, her energy makes a long class super interesting. Couldn't have a better teacher!
Shes the kind of teacher that makes you forget that youre learning . She makes it so much fun and shell make you feel right at home. She wants you to learn and understand . Ive never met anyone like her, shes easily my favorite professor and Ive already learned so much . I will have her again as my professor !!!
I never thought I would enjoy Chemistry but this lady did it. She is so smart but she lectures in a way that you can understand. She will take time to explain and she is so funny she could be a stand up comic. Best teacher I have ever had.
You can't get bored in any class she teaches! More energy then anyone I know. I have taken a few classes with this professor and always look forward to them. Her sense of humor and wide knowledge of all aspects of hospitality makes lectures fascinating and class participation fun. What I learned from her will stay with me!
Professor Dawn is smart and kind. She worked with me for three weeks until I passed my certification test. I have never had such a caring teacher that was just as happy when I passed as I was. I hope I have her for many more science classes.
She is beyond caring. She is not an easy prof but she will work stay over time to help you understand. I finally understood this class after taking another professor and failing.
DA BOMB .COM She is too smart and way too funny.
A fun and loud professor, but it seemed like the class wasn't taught to the standard of me paying however much for it. Lots of things were left out, and it seemed like a waste of time to come to class.
You would be crazy not to take this woman. She treats everyone the same and really cares if you don't understand. She works so hard to help you understand. She isn't easy but you will learn so much.
SHe is great. She has a couple in class that were real jerks and she was still kind and patient. Take her class and you will learn
OMG, just take her and you win. Most patient lady I have ever met.
This class was so hard but I took this with another prof and failed it. Prf. Dawn Allen worked with me until i got it! If you need help you better take her.
Thanks Prof Allen for all you do
Take her you wont regret it
Hard but fair
She's an excellent teacher. Smart, funny, engaging and empathetic. She has a natural ability to reach all students. HIGHLY recommended.
This lady cares about you. If you are willing to work she will help you all she can. She is smart and sweet. The class is not easy but she will do all she can if you are willing to work.
If you want a prf that will help you understand she is it. The other guy is terrible.
Class is not easy but her lectures are the best. Like a comedy show only you are learning.
Just passed the final. She worked with me everyday to study and signed into ZOOM on weekends just to help me. She is so funny. You will love her. This class is hard and she made it understandable.
Good choice
Make sure to use the REMIND app. She will text you back pretty quick if she is not in class and that is much faster than email. Don't go alone in this class. You need to keep in contact with her if you are confused she will help but this is very hard on your own. This online class is self paced and does not meet.
She is smart, funny and helpful. You don't want the other guy. He is not.
You better be ready to memorize a ton of stuff. She reviews a lot and tries to help you but if you don't come to class and if you dont read you won't pass the class. She is great.
This was to be at the college but we were moved to ZOOM because of the pandemic. Prof Dawn did the BEST of all the HMT prof about giving her all in the ZOOM class. I wish I had her in the classroom but she was amazing in ZOOM.
She helps the forgeign students and patient to them. I happy with class.
Prof Allen will help you if you need it and she reviewed for the exam constantly.
Great prof. take her over the rest if you can.
great
Great Professor and she wants you to pass but if you don't do your part she will let you know. If you doing your work no way you can fail.
Professor Dawn Allen is a fantastic teacher. She is very knowledgeable and will take as much time as you need to review. Even though this is not an easy class, if you failed it was because you didn't show up for class or her review sessions.
I would have had a A i was just absent and forgot a few assignments. She is so funny and cares about everyone. I hope to have her for all my classes.
She is Fair and Smart. Always willing to work outside of class.
Miss Dawn is just a sweet lady. I appreciate all the time she took with me.
Tough class but she reviews constantly so if you come to every class you will pass the Serve Safe test. I hope to have Professor Dawn Allen again
This class is hard but if you keep trying she will help. she met with me on ZOOm many times to help me study.
You are crazy not to take any of her classes. You actually learn and you don't even realize it. Best teacher I have every had.
Wow she was great and so helpful. Best lady.
I wish I had taken her for face to face. I met her at the exam and she was amazing. Funny and wanted me to pass as much as I did. Thank you!
I am so happy I had her . You will be prepared if you come to class and you do her reviews. She took her own time to work with me. I passed this exam FINALLY!
This lady is hella smart. I learned so much from her and she really cared about everyone. Even students that drove he rest of us crazy she was patient. Funny funny lady.
Great Prof
Would highly recommend
I made it. This class is hard . I have never had a professor take so much time with me. She studied with me face to face and met with me on ZOOM. Even when I worked second shift she ZOOM met with me at 10pm. I hope to have her for all my classes.
I learned so much. Great class
This lady knows her wine and her French Paris stuff. I like it when you have a teacher that has been to the countries. Besides she is funny. The class is not hard if you pay attention.
Great class and you learn about farm to table and food selection.
You need to take Professor Dawn for everything. I have never seen so much patience in all my life. She helped me for two hours straight and I was only one of many students she worked with. There were 5 different people speaking 5 different languages and she worked with each one. It was a crazy and she is amazing.
She is great take her.
I wish she taught all the classes she is just plain funny and smart as anything.
Our class had so many needs. Prof Allen was SO funny and caring to everyone. There was a girl that was a jerk and by the end of the class that girl not only passed but she actually started to show respect to others. Prof Allen held study groups and she reviewed so many times. This class is hard but if you try, Miss Allen will work with you.
I like the fact she knows the subject. She is a wealth of knowledge. Sometimes she mothers us a bit but that is fine. She doesn't want anyone slipping through the cracks. Half the people in the class need it. I will say this, she stays after class more than any professor I have ever seen. You can tell she likes being a teacher.
This class is to be a supervisor, so she treats it like a job. Don't be late and don't be absent. You hire people, fire people, complete schedules and all you would do at work. Role played a lot. Very hands on and she make awkward conversations like harassment and discrimination funny and relatable.
She is a great teacher. Glad I took her.
Great professor
Best online prof ever
Just finished Serv Safe class and she is the best teacher I have ever had. You have to take her.
Intro to Agriculture. Not a tough class and she is funny. Nice lady and she treats your right.
nice intro class she is funny and tries to keep you awake at 8am
This class is hard. You show up and she will help you. She helped me in office time, and she held studies tables. You will pass if you ask for help. Best class I ever took.
Dr. Allen is great.
Explains chemistry like a real person. Take her over the other guy.
She worked with me during her office hours for two weeks. I appreciated that because I do not think I would have passed Serve Safe.
Never seen anyone who loves talking about how sugar works so much in my life, but she make you care about it too. Dr. Allen loves to give you more facts than you ever thought. I think she must sit around and just read trivia books her entire life. Like walking GOOGLE.
TAKE THIS CLASS OMG....she is so funny
Just a really good instructor. Dr. Allen helps anyone that wants it.
Allen is incredibly passionate and uses that passion to explain any concept to anyone regardless of background or experience. She's hilarious and shows she truly cares about students' success. Allen is understanding and has no problem putting her foot down for groups with an inavtibe member.
She will help you all the time. Class feels like a real close group and she makes it that way.
Dr. Allen is head of the department and is just a great prof
Dr. Allen is IT ! Take her and she will help you
She really knows her plants!
Take her, just take her
Dr. Allen is well-traveled, and it shows in her teaching. Such knows her wine and I like taking a prf that with experience.
Dr. Allen spent so much time with me after class. She was ALWAYS ready to help and she has no problem meeting outside of her office hours. She is more like a momma that will get on you if your work is not done but hug you when you finally get it. She is funny just take her.
