Comment:
Professor Allen is very sweet, but she can't lecture to save her life. You won't learn from her lectures, but must attend because of studio, which is right before lecture. If you can't do biology alone, don't expect to get any help or learn anything from her.

Comment:
Allen means well, but is a terrible teacher. Her lectures are pointless, but you have to attend because of graded assignments she gives every class. Lots of unhelpful homework. Get ready to read the online textbook. Her test were pretty fair, but you have to teach yourself all the material. You HAVE to read the textbook to know anything.

Comment:
This class isnt that bad. But you gotta make sure that you check Canvas all the time to see if there is an assignment due because its unclear during class. Lectures are pretty boring - you do a wall draw every time. You need to read the textbook in order to do well - it an online one. Not bad overall, just boring.

Comment:
Does not give ANY notes during lecture so it is a teach yourself course. Expect to only do wall draws in class and nothing else. She never knows when the exams are and they "surprise" her meaning she squeezes in readings for you to do. Would not recommend. Wording on everything is terrible and just confusing. Lectures feel like 10 years.

Comment:
Allen was a horrible professor. She knows what she is talking about, but does not know how to teach it to the students. You're required to go to class because of studio and assignments every couple of weeks. Reading the book will be the only way you pass the class if you haven't already taken this type of bio. I highly recommend you don't take her

Comment:
Dr. Allen was such a sweet professor and very willing to help boost your grade if asked. Lectures are a little boring, but if you fall asleep during class and just read the text book you'll be fine for exams. She is very understanding and helpful during offie hours. Definitely recommend for 208!

Comment:
She's really nice, but really boring. The tests are very difficult, and really obscure. Question wording is very tricky. It's difficult to get help outside of class. Read the book, lecture notes, clicker questions, everything, or else you have no chance of passing the exams.

Comment:
The course is really not that challenging. She teaches the basics of general bio and that is all she tests you on. Study the information and you will do fine, but read the book. Go to class for clicker questions because there is no other grades besides exams and labs. She really wants you to understand which is helpful.

Comment:
Prof.Allen is very sweet, but you have to attend class for clicker points, it is almost the only other points towards your grade except for lab. She is very monotone and really wants students to do well, except she isn't the best at lecture. Class is hard to get through because she is monotone. Not terrible. Have to study to earn a good grade,te

Comment:
Dr. Allen's biggest pro is her willingness to make sure you understand the material. Her con is that she is not the best lecturer. She is also good at preparing you for labs and exams, she creates lots of great study guides and secondary material. Do the reading in the textbook, go to every class and you will nail your exams!

I liked bio in HS and hated it in her class. Thought she was boring and her tests had nothing to with the material she went over but wont give anyone below a B so it is not a bad deal

She is discriminatory, insincere and, above all, a fascist sympathizer.

PBL is a big waste of time. Didn't learn much. Exams are all essay, but you get to pick which questions to answer.

The class is a joke and she doesn't stress the important concepts on the exams enough. If you wanna do well on the MCATs, do not take this class with her. Also, her exams are totally random and don't test your knowledge of the subject, but whether you can do a few frivilous things.

HATE PBL!!! Makes no sense, no connections to rest of material. Essay tests not bad, multiple choice harder. Monotonous, puts me to sleep. Lots of powerpoint. Don't bother doing the reading. Study powerpoints for tests. Haven't really learned anything. Friendly person, though!

PBL sucks! We hate problem based learning. She doesn't really teach very well and uses powerpoint for everything. I don't learn very much in the class.

Very sweet lady, but pretty boring. Material is easy but you do not cover a lot of topics. She'd be better if she ditched the husband.
