Comment:

dont take this class barely ever came to this class because attendance is only about 5% of grade but the discussion posts you have to write are useless. you do the same thing over and over again. you have to write reflection essays about how you changed as a writer and you can still get points off that? randomly takes points off. useless class

SO MUCH workload for a 100 class. Im surprised I got the grade I did compared to some of my classmates but Kelly liked me. You MUST be a favorite of hers and the negative reviews below are no lie. Grades are obscure and luckily she liked me. Kelly was extremely rude to other students but I just sat in the back and watched with some popcorn lol

I've known Kelly for a large portion of my life. Taking this class was fantastic. I learned a ton and she really wanted the best for her students. I would definitely recommend this class for anyone looking for a good teacher.

You will be writing alot in this class. You will have daily discussions posts on readings on top of the papers. Kelly isn't a hard grader at all. She just wants her students to participate in class. She really cares about her students, she wants to see her students put a little effort and be engaged. Seeing her outside of class is very easy.

Comment:

I don't know why everyone is bashing KE Allen, but she really isn't that bad. Compared to the other Eng 125 sections which wrote papers all the time, this class literally has like 3, 5-page papers and a video assignment at the end. The readings got a bit tedious sometimes but I thought that the discussion was valuable. There were no exams.

Kelly Allen is a really tough professor. She makes you work exceptionally hard to get the grade, but if you put in a good effort and go to office hours she will reward your efforts. She posts everything online from readings, class notes, & the entire daily schedule so you have everything at your fingertips. GO TO OFFICE HOURS and start papers early

She is very disorganized, and has no consideration for her students. Will make you run across campus for no reason. Take this class if you like being led on and like a tease with no please. Other than that, save yourself.

Kelly is awesome. Really wants her students to become better writers. The workload is definitely daunting but as long as you don't fall behind, it's manageable. Pretty lenient and nice with deadlines. Overall, learned a lot from this class.

Comment:

Allen is seriously the best teacher at this school. Her lectures are cool and she's really a great person. Some of her views are stuck in the 1950's but she encourages and respects other opinions and discussion in the class. Attendance isn't mandatory but she gives lecture quizzes that are specific. There are two papers that she does grade tough.

I thought that whoever said GET KELLY OUT OF U OF M NOW was kidding... they weren't. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS you will regret it every day all semester long. The work load is unnecessary, the assignments are ridiculous, and she requires you to get the text book even though you only use it twice. Don't say I didn't warn ya.

Comment:

I would avoid this class at all costs. It is not engaging, she is very one sided when she has something else in mind. Everything is very repetitive, and gets old after a while. If you hate english or even find english non engaging you definitely do not want this professor.

Comment:

Mrs. Allen is a very nice person. Her class isn't "hard", but there are A LOT of peer editing workshops, rough drafts for papers, extensive outlines for every reading, and these "reflection" papers. Basically, if you do them, you're okay, but don't get behind. If you're up for the work, she will make you see writing in a completely different light.

Comment:

Ms. Allen's class is very boring. She assigns alot of homework. You have to complete essays, drafts, finals, outlines for Each Story you read, peer review letters for each person paper you read and other random work. She likes for her students to go deep into their writings but go to office hrs, she's willing to give alot of help & feedback.

Kelly is a nice person overall. However, she has alot of weird and random moments while lecturing. She expects alot of creativity and randomness is your essays. She grades somewhat tough....

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HER FOR ENG 125. I ended up with an A- only because i sucked up repeatedly as thats the only way to get an A. I should have gotten an A but she failed me purposely on the last 2 assignments just to bump me down to an A-. She act like you are an english major and your life should revolve around her class. Her lectures are really boring.

I thought that Kelly was overall an excellent professor. I loved the engaging discussions in class. I have to admit that the class can be very boring at times, but it was very manageable and a good GPA booster (if you do the work that is). Go to her office hours, she's always willing to help and tell you what she's looking for.

I thought she was a great professor. At times she can be moody and is a little wacky at times. Visit her during office; she is very helpful and wants students to do well.
