this prof. appears to be easy, but watch out cause that alot of bull. u have to make sure you read the book cause everything is from the book. i felt that the test did not go with what you learn in class. be careful of the essay ?'s on the exams they are very detailed. he does not fail students. this teacher needs to go over his test more.

I agree wit the other comments his test are crazy hard, its impossible to study for his test because you really have no idea what he wants, also he gives alot of work and isnt helpful at all, he works 5 other job, how much time do you think he'll have for you...think about it
wit this dude all u gotta do is take good notes..he uses blackboard and the text alot..if anyhting just study the notes and read the chapters..tests were alil hard but not mind boggleing...overall this guys fun.but u jus gotta put in a lil effort
GREAT CLASS! Hilarious Professor. Keeps you focused and interested in the class.
This professor is nice, he keeps the class interesting, and he let the class get out early. His test are little hard but if you study what mamma said then you will be fine. i had him for Finance and Management. Everything on the test is straight from the book. He does not fail students and attendance is important because he counts that for your f
great teacher.....if u show up u pass ...he doesent fail student not one person failed even if u fail tests , as long as he sees ur aleast trying ur in good shape i recommend allen and his project are fun and u work in groups what better then that
If i can take this guy a billion times I would. THIS PROFESSOR IS THE MAN!. Test where online for spring 09 omg the easiest thing. If you do the work He will give you an A Dont slack Come to class do the hw and its stress free HE BOUGHT US PIZZA FOR PRESENTATION NIGHT, In my h.s teachers never bought pizza. This guy is the BEST PROF IN CSI TAKE HIM
Unbeleivably great professor. Teaches it well, makes it interesting and easy. If you really really bomb his tests, he'll give you the chance to make it up and atleast pass the class.
this man does everything over the computer. nice guy in class but i hate him. post the entire semester on blackboard and makes you figure the whole thing out yourself. horrible
honestly, who likes this guy. hes a nice guy in class (if he actually has class) but gives so much useless hw outside of class. everything is on blackboard, gives 1-2 chapters of hw every week along with such annoying discussion questions so we can "interact" with our classmates. 3 LONG test and 3 LONG research projects. hate him so much
Prof. Allen is the man, if i could take him in higher levels I definetely will. his test are online, open book. they are not hard at all. with him I put my writing skills to test and it made me a better writer. he does give a lot of work but you have plenty of time to do it. everything is online and open book. excellent professor
He is a likeable guy but this is basically an online class that you have to physically attend. Class is always cut short, which is annoying if you pay out of pocket for it. You show up and find he is not coming in. He takes forever to grade and I think its all graded by the computer. The tests are take home and take hours! I was dissapointed.
Hate this man! worst professor at csi. I am a deans list student and according to his grades i am going to recieve a d in this class. worst professor ever, actually worst teacher i ever had in my entire life, not just college
Kind of an up and down guy. Really cool guy to talk to and cool guy in class, but TERRIBLE teacher to take. Gives a ton of work and doesn't correct any mistakes,just nit picks at the format and tough tough grader if you do something wrong.It's true, tests are a joke but dont be fooled, tests make up such a small fraction of your grade, rest is hard
I wouldn't be surprised if the prof. allen wrote all positive reviews.. because there's no way anyone can like him. he doesn't come to class (sounds good until you are constantly showing up for no reason), and gives extremely long online tests that he'll grade in front of you in 2 seconds. isnt straight up about deadlines and work.. such a joke.
Allen is a cool, laid back guy, who knows how to keep a class interested, and is very knowledgeable. The problems. First this guy will work you to the bone. A lot of online class work, mixed in with projects and very long online exams. I got an A in his course though. but My advice is DO ALL THE WORK don't be lazy and you will get a good grade !!!
Really BAD professor. Never comes to class and when he is there class is only 20 minutes. He asks if anyone has questions then gets an attitude when they do.. Never grades things by the deadline but makes you work your butt off to get it in on time... I learned nothing in that class all semester. =(
He is fun, a little scattered but fun class. He gives tons of work, most work I have ever seen. Homework takes hours and is huge chunk of your grade. Uses blackboard heavily. Keeps class short but with all the work he gives its not work it. Gives 3 group projects. If you do the work you will be fine but its ALOT.
very knowlegable professor. keep class fun and interesting. lot of reading and homework. best professor.
Great prof, but alot of work. Work is very easy, its done at home and open book. Exams are very long, and its done at home, u have one week to do hws and discussion boards. Every easy prof, gives alot of work, im very lazy and got myself an A. He just wants to see if you did the work or not, he doesnt really read it, I Wish i had him again. Do WORK
he a great guy, and has a unique way of teaching. he gives online exams and keeps the class interested. i strongly suggest to take him.
easy grade just do the hw he doesnt even read the papers just once to see that you do it. The hw is always repeated gets boring at times. Hw and tests are done online and he gives you a wk to do it
THIS IS THE ONE OF THE BEST PROF IN C.S.I.....I MEAN BEST..AND I DON'T CARE WHAT OTHERS COMMENTS..IF ANYBODY DON'T LIKE THE WAY HE TEACH...THAT STUDENT MIGHT HAVE PERSONAL ISSUE....EASY CLASS...JUST NEED PARTICIPATION...THIS IS MY SECOND TIME I TOOK HIM I WISH HE WILL DO M.G.T.
Honestly, Prof Alabama is the best!!!!!!! If you are a motivated student who does what your supposed to do and keep up with all the work, this class is a easy A! He is really friendly and helps all of his students! He even allows you to call him and ask him questions! His tests are time consuming but COMMON its open book!!I LOVE HIM!! great proff!
Exams are open book, take home. He's a very fun, fair guy. I have him for night class and he does leave early. DEF WOULD RECOMMEND HIM! Don't know why he has a low rating, DEF get the textbook. It's a lot of work but it's easy because it's all in the power points and textbook. TAKE HIM!!
Best Prof. Everrrrr! You Must Take this Professor. He is very thorough with his assignments, and although it is a lot of work, you do learn something every week...
Good Professor. Very friendly, fun and keeps the class interesting. ALL of the work is done on blackboard. He gives ALOT of work, too much in my opinion. 3 Papers, a PPT presentation, homework every week, but he did give open book take home tests which is cool. Don't take him if you don't like doing a lot of work!
He might keep the class interested in his lectures but he gives a lot of work, which I bet he just skims through. He allows easy contact with him, but will say one thing one week and mean another the next. He said to keep throw away any misconceptions about marketing and start with an open mind, but by the end of the semester I hated marketing.
Honestly one of the BEST professors at CSI. He is funny and makes it interesting to learn about marketing. The textbook is VERY important and worth buying. It's not often you get a professor who is as cool as Alabama. This class is NOT for people who are lazy and don't do the work. Those who do the work the way he asks- easy A. Highly recommend.
This guy is a decent person, but he's a bit ridiculous as a grader. He'll ruin your grade over citations. Also, class will be about 10 minutes long, but prepare to spend your entire week, and weekend, doing absurd amounts of online work which is due on Saturday by the way. Tests are the worst - this was the most annoying 3 credits I've ever taken.
Geat professor~ If you wanna pass go ahead do his HWs and take care of your tests. There will be 3 exams, they are all gonna be on blackboard and there's a week for you to complete the exam. Great chance right! around 40-45 mulpiple choices and 5-6short essays. Just do it~ Highly recommened~
Great professor. I really enjoyed the class and I learned a lot. Just do the work he says and you'll get an A.
Beware, This professor does everything over the computer. Comedian in class but teaches nothing.he posts the entire semester on blackboard and makes you figure the whole thing out yourself. Thank god i am great with computers but the girls in our class were crying because everything was so complicated on bb.no shocker if he post the + comments
Hes a great professor! But BEWARE if you dont have access to a computer in you home you rgoing to have a hard time. His test and hw are all online and in essay format! if you are not a strong writer you will have a hard time. But honestly if you love marketing and its your major you have nothing to worry about :) (HE GIVES OUT MONEY IN CLASS!!!!!!)
Great Professor and very funny, I learned a lot from his class. Keeps this class entertained Just do the work and you will get the A. His works is not that difficult at all, everything is straight forward.
Super funny professor and very cool class. He gives a lot of work on blackboard and very specific on his assignments but overall he's a great professor. I would definitely take his class again
he is a very smart and professional instructor, even though there are a lot of work you need to do, it is very easy to get the points, as long as you follow his way.He will give free HW assignment if you participate in the class, that is fun to choose him, I really admire the way how he teaches in the class! you will learn a lot!
RIDICULOUS amount of work online short answers to him are a 5 paragraph essays with insane amount of evidence and citations, cool guy horrible professor! it was an 8 am class that i would travel an hour for just to sit in my desk for 15 minutes NOT WORTH IT!
Great Professor! Anyone who cannot pass his class or get a good grade should leave college! He gives some work, but sorry to break the news to you it is College not Junior High! He is very helpful, straight forward, precise, and knowledgeable! Just do the work, study and you will do very well! Great Professor!
No matter how hard you work you will not get the grade you deserve. Gives tremendous amounts of research, homework and projects. If you want to be overworked and stressed, take him. Took him in KBCC wrong choice!
An excellent professor but he give a load of online work. I never worked so hard in a class before. This is what college is about. The good thing is that all his exams are online. In his class we had three group projects. One of the best professors you will ever take but you have to earn your grade. Thanks a lot professor Alabama you are the best.
He is a good teacher. Makes class fun but you still have to be prepared. You work in groups so hope to have a good group! Get ready to do lots of homework all online. He's pretty flexible and wants to help. If you put in even a little bit of effort you should definitely pass. Overall a pretty easy class
He's an ok professor nothing great. If you take his class, usually gives assignments on sundays and then is due the following Sunday. Then all of sudden he'll give the final and change the due date to a Wednesday. His grading system isn't clear & gives ton of work which I doubt he actually reads. Basically gives grades on how well the essay looks.
this guy is awesome! funny during lectures, keeps you interested, and all take home tests, and group projects
Took him this semester and signed up again for the next one. Teacher is awesome. Really cool guy who will let you catch up on any homework you missed. Gives out gift cards for participating. Only teacher I've had that actually makes the subject interesting.
Straight forward - assignments due every week Most assignments are in conjunction with the group presentation (Final) It was a four our class but if you let hi get through material you will be out in two hours Group project is in conjunction with an a apa format market research paper on company of your choice( paper is group written)
really easy prof
One of CSI's greatest. A good solid professor, very inspirational and straight forward. Do the work, the projects, its an A! That simple. Professor Allen is valuable asset to the School of Business. He is very caring and is very well educated. A MUST TAKE!
Professor Allen is a must take. You not only learn a lot of useful material but he makes it so easy to do good and take away a lot from the course at the same time. He's very interesting and gets the class involved. There's homework every other week and a semester long group project. If you do all the work it's an easy A!
In this class you will learn work ethic. The amount of work is worth it. At the end you take a deep breath and say, i did it!! And surprisingly you'll realize that you actually learned a lot. Don't expect an easy A.
Good at what he teaches but the amount of work expected for a 100 level class is just obnoxious. The group research project I thought was a waste of time. Marketing requires group work 100% but he needs to focus more on teaching marketing methods not correct apa format. Newsflash no one asks you to write press releases and marketing idea in apa.
best in the world
CSI's best professor hands down. He never makes class boring, a smart and funny guy, class work and group projects are interesting. A lot of work was done online and sometimes he would hold the whole class online. Tests were optional to take either in class or online from home which was really beneficial to a lot of people. Do the work & Get an A !
Prof Allan AKA PROF ALABAMA.... is the best professor that ive had. this has been my favorite class throughout the whole time ive been here. he makes class fun and gives away free homework! There are group projects/homework. As long as you read the chapters/powerpoints , get it done on time, and follow APA format you will pass this class no doubt.
Excellent professor who is always keeping the lecture interesting. Regular amount of homework and group work is easy. Tests are online and you have a week to complete. If you are considering business in any field TAKE HIM!
Professor Robert Allen is guaranteed to be one of the best teacher you'll ever take. He is kind, respected , caring and funny. If you don't do well on your hw, tests, or projects, don't worry. He'll tell you what you did wrong, show you how to fix it, and let you fix it. Hw is easy, projects are group work and simple, and tests are online.
He is fantastic defiantly take him! I took him for two Classes in one semester, Got 2, As. He was so great Im taking him again. He gives a lot of work so if you aren't good with computers or group work he might not be a good teacher for you.
Homework is due every week. Stay on task and you'll pass.
Hes too extra with everything. The students are also very lame.
I took him for MKT 310. Not gonna lie there's a ton of work to do for this class but it's all easy stuff. There's group work for pretty much all of the semester. If you stick to the tasks he assigns and get them done in time and do them the way he wants them it's an easy A. He's also a really nice and funny guy. Super down to earth.
there will be weekly homework so stay on track. He will also put you to work into groups towards a group project overall very reasonable very straight forward and chill. If you do all your HW and good on the group project you will pass
One of the best professor's I've had! He's hilarious and his class is so simple. He puts you into groups right away and you work with them all semester on a group project that you present on the last day of the class. There are online homework's every week but they're really easy. Definitely take him if you get the chance.
excellent prof! absolute will take him again, he respects to every student, exams are not very hard, he puts everything on BB. there has a group presentation but it is very easy. And if you forget to do homework, go to the class and explain to him, he will give you a chance to finish the homework. Very Nice and knowledge Prof!
Goat Professor! Cool guy very fun class and pretty easy to pass i just had to come to class and i got a B+ so far. just need to take my online final all tests online and one group project. The group project is very tedious and goes throughout the whole semester. Choose your group wisely bc i had a kid that acted stupid and we had to do his work.
All tests and homework online. Good professor just do the work
BEST PROFESSOR!! Take him if you get the chance. He makes virtual learning so much fun.
He was a great professor overall! Easy course.. Do your part and get an easy A
Professor Allen is a wonderfully engaging Professor who simplifies material, makes it easily digestible, and sets clear and attainable goals for his students that makes getting a good grade EASY. He also throws out hella free homework opportunities that are really easy to get. Group-project oriented but he holds students accountable. Easy A.
Please take him if you get the chance. BEST PROFESSOR EVER. Prof Alabama if hilarious and will make the class fun. Work is easy but if you don't like group projects, than this class isn't for you. Wish I can take him again if I get the chance.
This professor was great :) would definitely take more of his courses in the future. Highly recommend to take his class and do the work because you all good if you do so.
He is simply the best. Lots of work, but it is all easy. The group project was fun. If you want an A, take him. But you have to do the work. No work, no A. Very easy class. Literally impossible to fail.
I am a marketing major and at first I didn't know if I wanted to do it, but he made me love it so much. Made the class enjoyable and interesting. Big group project but its fun and allows you to open up ur imagination. I have taken this professor twice, definitely recommend taking him. Wish there were more professors like him!!
Took him 3 times. Simply the goat. The best professor you can have and you will learn ALOT from him. Literally the best. Easy A if you do the work which is easy. The group project is also the best. Don't miss out on taking him.
A great professor just gives unnecessary work, a lot of work no reason and wants it to be perfect, takes his job too seriously.
A lot of work but its very easy. Free A if you do the work the correct way.
The professor is amazing and supportive. You have to stay on top of your assignments and submit them regardless if they are late. Attendance was mandatory. Overall I would retake him.
Just graduated. This is the only professor I will miss outta all my time in college. He makes MKT fun to learn and the group projects litt. I had him 2 times and it was the best experience. Just make sure you show up to class since he does take attendance. Hw's and tests are all online and easy. The work can be tedious but its not hard.
By far the best professor! He is extremely helpful, caring, and wants every student to succeed. Be on top of your work and you will do great. He gives amazing feedback and you really do learn a lot. If you have the opportunity to take any of his classes, DO IT!
I took this class in the winter and it was honestly pretty good you just gotta lock in. There's group projects for most of the course but there not that bad as long as you communicate with your members. The professor is strict when it comes to the work but thats because he wants everyone to get a gurantee A, and he's really understanding.
He's honestly the best professor at CSI.He's caring, very helpful and gives good feedback. 10/10 recommend 谢谢
PROF ALLEN IS THE BEST. I took him in three different classes. Listen to me, if u see his name take him. All u have to do is listen & do your work. People saying he's picky with citations- well he's teaching u something right?!... He is amazing.
I'd 100% recommend Dr.Allen to anyone. He was hands down the best professor I have ever had, super funny, helpful and definitely very good at teaching course material. As long as you're present in his classes, do your work, pay attention and participate in discussion posts, you will be good. Hands down best professor, 100% would take again.
An absolutely great professor, highly recommend taking him if you have the chance. His lectures are engaging therefore you easily learn a thing or two! Be prepared to work with groups, participate, lots of homework, and heavy papers. But if you put in the work- easy A/
