Allaire is a super nice guy and I loved his class. Class isn't mandatory, but you'll learn a lot if you show up. We got out 30-45 min early every class. 3 exams, all multiple choice open note. Open to questions, truly cares for his students. Take this class and get an easy A!

I don't see how this prof could get a bad rating when you literally don't have to show up to class an still get a good grade that being said, if you don' go to class ATLEAST go to the exam reviews. it might not change your grade much but he will straight out tell you what is on the tests - thus you don' have to waste your time looking at other mat

Comment:

Only tests on his lectures. Grading is only 4 tests, lowest one dropped. Not hard at all. Easy A which wont suck up your time. I kinda wish he cared more though. Laid back but also disagreeable & sometimes dismissive or unengaged. Lectures are good, lots of applicable examples used and rarely takes the whole class time. Not great w/ emails.

Gives interesting lectures and easy to follow powerpoints, whole grade is 3 exams all open note, offered extra credit on random days for attendance; some tangents but often relevant, occasionally cancelled class last minute, said textbook was required (online or irl) and I never opened it since powerpoints are provided

Dr. Allaire was funny and wanted his students to do well. He had good lectures and gave no homework or readings. Was open to questions and had an amazing TA. He related to students well. His tests were online and multiple choice. Though his class was easy, you still learn lots of good information.

3 online, take-home, open note exams. Attendence is not mandatory, but he sometimes will give extra credit if you show up. I stopped going to class about halfway through the semester except for the review days, in which he tells you everything you need to know for exams, and still made a 99 in the class. If you need a GPA boost, take his class.

I went to this class four times all semester and got a 99 in the class. That should tell you everything you need to know. Everything is on moodle, tests are not complicated, professor is insanely laid back.

Comment:

Dr. Allaire is fantastic! The course is graded by only 4 tests, with all lecture notes posted online. He doesn't take attendance, but he makes a point to regularly reward those who show up by either giving extra credit or additional notes or info that he doesn't post. It is an easy A, but I also learned so much and enjoyed this class immensely!

Comment:

Your grade is made up of 3 tests and an optional final to replace your lowest test score. All notes are posted online and attendance isn't mandatory but he randomly gives extra credit for the people who show up and points out specifically what's going to be on the tests when going over notes in class. Easy A, just show up and pay attention.

He always ends class about 30 minutes short. He's hilarious and his class is so easy. All of the tests, quizzes, and notes are uploaded on moodle.

Comment:

Dr. Allaire is hilarious and his class was great. He didn't take attendance, offered extra credit on every test, made tests available online (and open note from home) and dismissed class 20-30 minutes early every day. This class is an easy A if I've ever seen one, and you learn a lot too!

LOVED this class! Tests are all online and open note. Tests questions come straight from the powerpoint with an occasional question or two from the book. I got an A+ in the class and would definitely take him again

I loved Dr. Allaire. He is obviously incredibly knowledgeable about the subject which made the class really enjoyable. Attendance is not taken but I never missed a lecture because he's so funny and engaging! Occasionally offers extra credit for attendance on days when nobody shows up. All tests are online and open book. Great, great class.

Comment:

His classes are easy enough to pass, but maybe I've been taking the wrong section. He never seems interested in his lecture content, and frequently cancels class or lets class out half an hour early. If you are actually interested in the material, expect to teach yourself or just get a different teacher.

Comment:

Dr. Allaire does not take attendance, but frequently gives extra credit for coming to class. All his notes are on PowerPoints that he gives you on Moodle, so you don't need the textbook. There are only a few tests throughout the semester, and the final is not comprehensive. All the tests are online. He's really funny.

Comment:

Dr. Allaire is so funny. He always tells stories in class, and since he has a young child, he can give relevant examples in class of developmental theories. And the examples are all online and open note, and they're easy to begin with. He also gives tons of extra credit just by showing up to class. Interesting class, Would take again!

Comment:

Dr. Allaire is a funny guy. He talks about his family a lot and compares much of the terms to them and other real-life situations which is really helpful. He doesn't take attendance but he gives "extra credit" for attendance pretty often. The tests weren't too hard; he gives you a study guide which literally tells you every termconcept to know!

I was dreading psychology, but this professor got me "psyched" to go to class each day. His teaching skills have a light that will never go out!
