He is a great professor. I am not a history person but he actually made it interesting. Only has 3 tests and gives outlines with the material presented in the test. He has quizzes over the readings, which you will do fine if you read. He answers students questions and is very sweet. TAKE HIM!

He is a very nice & funny. I hated history in high school and never understood anything, but when I took his class I really enjoyed it & actually understood what was going on. The only grades are the tests, which aren't hard. If you study & pay attention you will pass. He has outlines that he goes over in class, which says what will be on the test.

Great professor, and very easy to follow during his lectures. There are, however, two essays per tests you must do (four tests including final) and a quite of bit of reading if you want to pass, but if you check out his syllabus, everything he requires is clearly presented. Plus, he's hilarious and quite the sports fan.

Would definitely recommend taking his class! He is so nice and understands the struggle of being a college student. Even though lectures are not mandatory, it's still important to attend because the tests are mainly lecture based. Also, you still need to read a few of the outside readings.

Great class! This professor is super nice. He lets you be a few minutes late with no penalty. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you are struggling and never go to class, you will not be helped. He gets off topic sometimes, but it adds to the lecture. I made a B on exams without reading, but you need to study your notes for sure. Good class.

Robert Allen is easily the best professor I have ever taken. He is super nice and he really cares. He made me want to go to HISTORY class. I saw him as a friend and would go to his office and just talk about sports. His class is really just listening to his lectures and reading a chapter or 2 for every test, test are not that hard.

He's just a sweet heart. I barely showed up for class and still got a B. He teaches exactly whats on the test. Just didn't like that you had o basically memorize chapters because the free response was a portion from it. He gives out points basically tooo

Amazing lectures and easy to follow. you will have to read and write the papers but he is going to help you out. The books are usually interesting and if you can not follow the book you can set an appointment and get help with the reading.

You need to read! Great professor, take time to learn the material, and do the required reading, taking notes. Have patience, he likes to ramble. Test are from lecture and literature, MC & essay. Go to the review before the exams from TA to get a better understanding of what is expected on essay (sometimes they use the same essay question).

Dr. Allen is amazing! Really cares about his students and is passionate about his job. Exams are a little hard and you have to read the required materials but overall it was a good class if you stayed on top of things. He is flexible and easy to get a hold of. Doesn't care about attendance.

Dr. Allen has got to be my favorite professor so far. He doesn't surprise you on the tests or on the only assignment. He gives outside reading, but it's all outlined in the syllabus. You can't just show up to get an A. You have to think, which is great. He learns your name, and talks to you about stuff outside class. I still drop by to talk to him.

Attendance is not required, but he did make it clear that if a person has great attendance it shows that they are putting in effort and will be willing to offer help on grades if needed.

Dr. Allen is great. When he hands back papers, don't freak out at all the red marks, they're just suggestions and encouragement. He really knows his stuff.

His class is wonderful. You must be prepared to take notes and do not skip class because most of the test is based on lecture. I am not a history fanatic but he made me enjoy it for the first time. He is very enthusiastic and will help with anything you need. TAKE HIM!!!!

Dr. Allen is a great professor! His lectures can get long sometimes, but he really knows what he's talking about. Be ready to read A LOT, about 10 questions on his test will be from the book. He is a super nice professor and is willing to help you with anything. Would definitely take this class again. Will definitely pass if you put for the effort.

His tests are usually 17-19 questions from the lecture, 9 questions from the textbook, and an essay. If you just google summaries of the textbook chapters you'll be fine because the textbook test questions aren't specific. He likes to ramble, beware. If you take him, do NOT take an early class.
