I took this class as a summer course and it did have a lot of work, but Professor Allison made it easy. She responds back quickly with answers to any questions and an awesome teacher overall. At the end of the class she also gave the option to do extra credit.

Comment:

As a former student of Mary Ellen and graduate of RCNJ, I must recommend Mary Ellen as one of the best professors I've had the privilege to study under. Mary Ellen embodies a true professor as she clearly believes in the art craft and the capabilities of her students. I would take all her classes again if given the opportunity. Thank you MEA.

I took her for Theatre and Society. Great class, great teacher and a great lady. It's clear that she has liberal views but does an amazing job of playing devil's advocate when necessary and making everyone feel comfortable. She is one of the best theatre professors I have ever had.

She is such a nice teacher. If u need help she will help you. She will answer your e-mails rather quickly. I learned a lot from her in Basic Directing. She might be a little tough, but you learn a lot from her.

took her for mini I, it was fast and fun. she was helpful, the quizzes were easy as long as you did the reading. she doesn't hand anything to you but she really guides you when you need help. she gives essays to write but the essays come easy as long as you pay attention and do the work. take her if you want a fun time and to learn. A+

If you think MEA let you fail, you are delusional. Mary Ellen is not capable of letting someone fail. Go to class, do the work and you are set. She is a great professor, esp. with a hard subject

I Hate this women. She pratically let me fail and smiled in my face as I went down. She gave no warning, she didn't even care enough to talk to me. She is my worst professor ever, I have no idea why so many people like her.

She is very smart and presents the material in a good way that shows that she is into it. She gives about 1 or 2 quizes a week and 5 tests - which are difficult especialy if you have not done the tremendous amount of assigned readings - but cool overall
