She is one of the best teachers I have ever had.Yes, she has high expectations but I am paying for these classes to educate me-not treat me like a sheltered child. I have learned more in her classes ( I have taken both 1301 and 1302) than I have ever learned in my entire academic career. She holds students to a high standard-as a professor should.

Tough but fair. Will edit papers and assignments if you ask. Doesn't accept late work, which can hurt if you're not organized.

syllabus is long but tells you what you need to pass offers extra credit options answers emails quick can be tedious

all assignments are available the first day of class can finish early for extra credit lots of reminders emailed

there were participation points for class work and it was tough because it was a winter class, but Dr. Allen was quick to answer grading or assignment questions and walked you through the writing and exam two.

took in winter, was clear and reviewed the exams, answers email quick

extra credit options were there teacher reads email and responds fast will explain if you ask - is helpful

I took her during the May semester for history 1302. This professor is hilarious and very fun to have. She makes history enjoyable and shows a strong passion on the subject. As long as you show up and pay attention, you'll understand things in this class very well. I signed up to take her again for history 1301 this summer.

Listen to her lectures, they aren't going to bore you and they'll help you pass the class. She makes the subject more interesting and tolerable!

She gives a TON of extra credit but also lots of writing assignments. Another class that just takes a little bit of hard work, but otherwise, easy A. Learn what she wants from the document analysis and it's easy!

lots of extra credit if you miss assignments

there's no way someone can fail this class. she has a lot of quizzes but of you do your reading you will do fine. she has a lot of extra credit which can easily help you bust your grade. her lectures are fun.

Prof. Allen's class was my toughest class so far. I liked that her assignments were challenging and out of the norm but It is discouraging when you work hard for nothing. She deducted so many points for small mistakes that I ended up with my first and hopefully only C even tho I did several extra credit activities. Answers emails quick enough.

She gives tons of extra credit through out the semester. You can do as many EC as you want she gives no limit. Only need to reach 900 points to get an A in the class. If you reach 900 before final you can be exempt. She is an amazing professor

She offers tons of extra credit, loved her class! It's an easy A. Also, you can work ahead on your assignments. Ps, beware of the Primary Source Analysis, start that one as soon as possible. Her tests are online and the answers can be found online as well.

She's a terrific professor, but she's strict on her grading and it helps you grow as a student 10/10 recommend

I definitely recommend you having Dr. Allen for your history classes.

She is a really good professor. I mean you can't just sit in class and expect to pass , but if you do the work , study for test you will do fine. Highly recommend

Highly recommend

Dr. Allen is a wonderful teacher. Her directions for assignments are all posted online and available at the beginning of the semester. Her directions are very specific. As long as you read, show up to class, follow directions and complete assignments on time, you will ace this class. Expectations are very clear.

Dr. Allen is a great professor! Yes, the assignments can be difficult and she is a tough grader, but I enjoyed taking her class. If you work hard, it will totally pay off. Do not forget any assignments, but if you do make sure to take advantage of the extra credit opportunities. So cool how she lets you donate pet supplies!

lots of reading grading scale is clear extra credit options

can work ahead hard papers, but prof will edit if you ask

tough prof if you read you will ace the class

not overly friendly, but has clear directions

I took her for both my History 1301 and 1302. I took her online classes, she gives a lot of work but posts everything the first day of class so you can work at whatever pace you want, which I really enjoyed because I was taking other classes so I got this class done so I had time to work on my other classes. Such a great soul and easy to talk to.

I took her online course and it was very easy to get an A. Just do your work and you should be able to also get an easy A. There is a lot of work to do but the quizzes and tests were mostly on quizlet and as long as you follow the criteria, you'll get a 100 on every reflection.

Was a decent professor. Loves to lecture but will answer your questions if you have any. Homework and Tests were all online which was really convenient. Has a dry sense of humor but tries to make class enjoyable.

I took her class online to get dual credit. I never touched the textbook and was absoutely fine. Test/quiz answers can be easily found online. I was worried about writing essays, considering my lack of usage of the textbook, but she is a very easy grader. I never emailed her so I don't know how she handles emails, but overall, I was very pleased!

If youre looking for a class than can give you a good grade... this is it! Quizzes are the most tedious part. Other than that there are 3 reflections, 3 discussion board and 3 exam. Shes a good grader. Just stick to the due dates and youll be fine. Would take this class again !

I took the class and read the syllabus. DEadlines were clear, lots of extra credit. She is fair and quick to answer emails.

all assignments are avaiable on the first day of class so it helps, lots of extra credit, will answer emails and helpful

took online, lots of extra credit, could work ahead she will return emails i never cracked the book

Her lectures are fun, she is a sweet person, and she gives great feedback on essays. However, her lectures only cover a little bit of what is on the exam and she expects that students prepare themselves for the exams with the textbook. That is not too bad because the material is easy. She gives a lot of extra credit and is strict about attendance.

Although the semester isn't exactly finished yet, I'm quite positive that I'll get an A, so I'll go ahead and type. Professor Allen is a very easy grader. You'll get an easy A for every assignment as long as you turn in your work in time. They are a lot of work, but totally worth it. Just don't procrastinate or else you'll regret it.

I am not a fan of history but Professor Allen made it enjoyable. She cares for her students and is so sweet. I would 10/10 recommend her.

I took the class online in May, and I will get an A. She is an easy grader and gives you the assignments all at once.

no surprises, gives assignments at once, easy to get an A if you follow directions

she gave assignments so students could work ahead, worked with me because i was dropped accidentally - she responded to emails quickly

online summer class and it was easy, not alot of assignments but could get done early

no surprises, standard course

I took history online and she was easy to take. My emails were answered quick. No extra credit and I wished there was.

Online class, gotta read the chapters to pass but its easy.

Some assignments but all are easy - no primary source assignment in the summer so I'm glad. I could work ahead, and Dr. Allen answered emails fast. I will take her class again.

No extra credit but I took it during summer. Online was easy. Teacher is nice.

Make sure to check the syllabus. Dr. Allen's has specific guidelines and she is clear about them. Overall, great professor.

Dr. Allen is very professional down to earth she loves what she does and is very passionate about teaching History. do your assignments you will pass.

I am not done with the class, but Dr. Allen has been very helpful. I had Covid and could not submit work but she has worked with me. I read the other reviews and was kind of worried but she has been great!

I read the recent reviews, and I am not sure what class they took, but Dr. Allen was really nice. I had a death in the family and she worked with me to rearrange the deadlines. As long as you contact her, she will work with you.

Dr. Allen was really clear with grading assignments. As long as you submit the assignments on time and make half an attempt, you will do fine with the work. She answered emails (I was online) and it was easy to work with her.

We had extra credit in our section. She posted videos on social media to help. I think history is boring but Dr. Allen made it tolerable. If you do nothing in the class, you will fail it, but her class is easy to pass.

Dr Allen is a more than fair professor. She gives plenty of reminders about due dates, is very transparent on what she is looking for in assignments, and offers a very clear path to getting an A in his class.

Really interesting and nice. Lots of reading to do from the text, but she goes over it in class. Highly highly recommend this professor!

You have two chances to take the exams and the higher grade counts. She will read your reflection papers before they are due if you ask her and edit them. PRofessor Allen does not accept late work, but everything is available to do on the first day of class.

Great teacher, class is not easy, but you wont have a problem if you come to class and do your work.

She tells you what you need to do to pass. She gives extra credit throughout the semester and is available outside of class.

Quite honestly, I'm not sure why Dr Allen has average marks on here. Although I haven't met her in person as I do her class online, she's very fair with her grading, clear on her instructions and expectations from her students, very responsive and super helpful in her e-mails, and her meme game is on point.

I took hist1302 and at the same time she took over my 1301 class. Her assignments are clear and thorough, respond promptly to emails, gives feedback, lots of extra credit, and even writes her own essays to give an example. Prof Allen is on IG and gives lectures there as well. I received an A+ in both classes. Definitely recommend

I am in her online class this summer and it is easy. Class assignments were available before the course started so I was able to get ahead. This is not a hard course, and easy to do if you read the syllabus and follow the deadlines.

I took World Civ to get it out of the way from Prof Allen and it was easy. The book is included, but I did not read very much. The quizzes and exams come from the book. Discussion boards are easy. Just do the work and you will get an A.

fairly straight forward class, there are 3 short essays and the rest of your points mostly come from reading quizzes and exams about the textbook. if you take online you can just have the textbook open on the side.

EZ class if you take it during the wintermester. I have not put much effort into the class at all. Everything is open from day 1, so you can finish it within a week. Enjoy!
