Holly Allen

Professor Allen was very nice and clearly very passionate about teaching this class, but I found the material pretty boring. I took it for a distribution requirement and to balance out my difficult courseload for the semester. There were no tests, and only 1 paper along with 1-2 easy projects (timeline and storymap). The projects were graded very easy. The content in lecture didn't really have anything to do with the projects so you didn't need to pay attention in class at all.

Professor Allen is a really easy professor, but it was very clear that students did not do the assigned reading, which in turn made for some very dry discussions. Professor Allen was very knowledgable on the subject, but I wouldn't say it was an extremely engaging class.

I truly enjoyed taking this course with Professor Allen. She is very enthusiastic about her work and course material. You get the most out of this course when you put the most in, meaning that your enjoyment of this course is reflective of the time and effort you put in outside of the class and into readings. That being said, this class has a very light workload in terms of papers and the material is very interesting. It allows you to dive into what you are most interested in. Would highly recommend and take again.
