Alison is the greatest professor I've ever had. She cares about her students, truly cares. Anyone would be lucky to have Alison in their corner and she follows up with her students far beyond ISP or any of the other classes/programs she teaches. If you can take a class with her, do it.

Alison is simply the best at Trinity! She is very organized and gives very good advice on course selection and major selection. She is extremely accessible outside and inside of class. ISP is undoubtedly tough because ISP would be going rocket speed when other seminars are going walk speed. But if you put in effort, you will get an A.

Alison is the most wonderful professor and best advisor you could possibly ask for. She has made me wholeheartedly decide that I made the right choice by coming to Trinity. You learn a lot in her class as well. While ISP is a lot of work, if you do it, you will do well.

Great. Helpful in her advising and accessible. I don't know that she's ever not in her office, and she never seems to mind the interruption when I stop by. In ISP, I'm not a huge fan of discussions--I feel like they're kinda clunky and awkward, and ideas aren't really developed or debated. She kinda hands out As on papers, especially late semester.

Alison Draper is simply the most amazing professor you will meet at Trinity. ISP is undoubtedly a very hard class but it's worth it because you get Alison as an advisor. Alison honestly gives the best advice and she made my transition to Trinity so smooth. 10/10 would recommend taking a course from her!!

You must be kidding. No doubt she's posting all these rave reviews herself. Admittedly she's popular -- but because she's easy and a joke.

Alison is the best professor you will have at Trinity. She is so helpful and will connect you with the best opportunities if you show a little effort. There are two sizable papers every week first semester but if you put in effort you will end with an A in the class.

Most helpful person you will meet at Trinity. Best Advisor ever. Of course she assigns a lot of work. But in the end, when all those reaction papers are done, two things will happen (atleast they did to me): 1) Your views will change (for the better) 2) You will view Alison as a Mother Figure.

Comment:

ISP is VERY hard, but well worth it. Alison prepares students by starting classes out going 100 mph while everyone else is going 15. When she slows down, everything else speeds up. nice balance, in a sense. very sweet but intimidating. Awesome advisor! Knows everything about science majors + premed. tons of writing, approximately 15 papers

Alison is perfect. You will start off with some low grades, and then you will get As. Best advisor and teacher. She's kind of like having a mother at Trinity. I'd recommend her to anyone at any time.
