Definately take Professor Allen if you're taking RIL 231. She is the best professor I have had in my two years at Missouri State. She makes an incredibally boring subject much more interesting. Go to class, take notes, and read the book and the class should be farely easy. She also curves every test by 4-6 percentage points.

Mrs. Allen is really one of the best teachers at Missouri State. For such a hard subject, she makes it very clear to understand with examples.

Extremely easy class if you pay attention and understand what she is saying. The true false/multiple choice tests can be tricky. She does try to trick you on the tests with the way she words things. Study for the tests (I recommend you look at the back of the book and use notecards to memorize the definitions and what is mentioned in class).

Nancy Allen is great! Took her course at 8am, she definitely keeps your attention. Very passionate about subject and students. Go to class every day so you can get your random free 5 points for in class assignments. Take notes from lecture, as that is what she tests off of. Won't need book.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. She loves what she does, and you can tell. She makes what would normally be boring or confusing really easy to understand and interesting. Read over your notes before tests and you'll get an A. I would definitely recommend her!

Nancy Allen, or Aunt Nancy, is probably the best professor I have had at Missouri State! Her lectures are hilarious and interesting. I actually want to come to class, and a lot of prior students come back to visit because she is such a great teacher. You won't need the text book because the test comes straight from lecture. And she brings cookies!

The class was lecture based, little to no outside work, aside from reading the chapters. The prof is hilarious and very open and clear about what's required. She works hard to be sure her meaning is clear on topics. An awesome class. I would take another from her in a heartbeat.

Everyone on campus loves Nancy Allen. She has 4 tests, one being the final. the rest of her grades are in class participation so showing up to her class is mandatory. She is funny and loud and everyday it is full attendance. She however is old school and do not use blackboard. She writes her notes on the board. Easy B. Simple A.

Nancy Allen was absolutely phenomenal!! Probably the best professor I have ever had! She gave examples with the text and made the class easy to relate to. Seriously, if you need a business credit this is teacher to take! I don't know hos much MSU is paying her but it is not enough. This is how teachers are supposed to be!

MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR, EVER. She makes lectures fun, which means when its test time you remember the material. She brings cookies before every exam, and I had her at 8 AM, so yea, I had cookies for breakfast. She offered a ton of extra credit my class period, and she gives you a 2% boost, so if you're at an 88 at the end, you'll end up with an A.

If possible, TAKE NANCY. There's a reason she's gotten so many good reviews. She gives a 2% boost on every test. DO NOT PAY FOR THE BOOK, she only tests on her lectures and I literally never had to open my book. 2 tests and 1 comprehensive final, I've gotten high A's on both tests bc I merely studied the notes. Super easy and interesting class!!!!

Nancy makes law interesting and fun. Lectures cover everything on the tests and her lectures are awesome. She will sometimes give little assignments at the end of class, so make sure you go to class. On tests she usually gives you one free point to help out your grade. If you have to take LAW 231, take Nancy Allen!

Hands down one of the best professors at Missouri State. Wonderful enthusiasm. She used to be a theater major before she switched to law. This makes listening to her lectures very easy because she actually makes the material interesting with her examples! Love her! Also, don't buy the book, you won't use it at all.

Loved her and this class. She is super funny and knows how to keep your attention on something that can be boring. She gives great examples and gives you cookies on test day! :) Honestly the best teacher I've ever had and wish she had more classes. If you go to class and study you shouldn't have a problem getting a good grade. No textbook needed.

Nancy is honestly the best professor in the college of business. She covers the material throughly and presents information in a way to make it relatable. If you're going to take law, you'd be a fool to not take it from her! However, keep in mind: there aren't many points, only tests. So, be sure to take notes and study.

Nancy presents the information in ways that you won't forget. She's extremely funny, which makes going to her class worth it. You usually get out early, but remember that she takes attendance w/ some random 5pt assignments. Not many opportunities for points, so that can be tough. I wouldn't have wanted to take law w/ any other prof.

Great lecturer, and very entertaining. Doesn't give out any homework. Takes attendance and gives out assignments that must be completed in class so you don't want to miss those otherwise it will be tough to get the grade you want with just 3 test grades. Tests aren't bad at all, pay attention and take decent notes. Book was helpful for studying.

There are random in class writing assignments worth 5 points each but they are all short and opinion based. She is hilarious and makes the lectures so enjoyable!

I am now a junior at Missouri State and Nancy Allen is still my favorite college professor yet. She is passionate about what she teaches and it definitely shows within her lectures. She keeps you laughing, all while helping you actually absorb the material. She was always available outside of class via email, phone, and even face-to-face. Take her!

I absolutely ADORED Nancy Allen. I wish I could take her for every class. The class was literally based on test scores though. No blackboard, no powerpoints, no homework. Just tests and little 5 point writing assignments in class. Her lectures were so fun to listen to though. Would definitely recommend her to everyone.
