| Additional Comments |
|
The material in this course isn't difficult, however, Professor Allen makes it very difficult and NEVER lets you know what is expected. You spend most days going over the writing assignments (short ones) that you did the day before and he just picks them apart. The problem is that he often contradicts himself and never really settles on what he likes. One day he might tell you one thing and the next day he says the opposite and refuses to admit that he's done so. The tests are really easy and the quizzes aren't too bad, but he grades the homework very thoroughly and is not afraid to give you a score of less than 50. It's open ended, so you could end up with a 0/100 because he just keeps marking off for anything and everything and that includes spelling. Attendance isn't mandatory but he does assign homework almost everyday, and if you aren't there when he assigns it, you may not turn it in. He's an alright guy but I don't recommend him for a 200 level course.
