Comment:

She's so friendly and had snacks available every morning. Her work load may be a bit on the heavy side, but she does give you the ability to work around the due dates depending on the hw assignments you choose to do. It seemed heavy to me because I had to push some stuff last minute, but overall, anyone should be able to get through this class

Took the English1A Hybrid class. Class was one day a week and the rest of the work was done online. This was my first college class and it was a good experience. She responded to emails very quickly and the classes were enjoyable. Definitely recommend this class.

Comment:

I took a hybrid class with her and all her info online was organized and specific. She is very easy to reach out to and even held regular student hours which I wish I would have taken more advantage of. The reading and papers are manageable if you put the time in, and she douse a great job of giving directions and feedback to the class.

Comment:

This felt more like a food class than an English class based on everything being focused on food-related topics. Youll be reading The Omnivores Dilemma which is about food & The Jungle by Upton Sinclair which is also about food or at least is food-related. Plus you watch documentaries in class about, you guessed it, food! Its all about food!

Comment:

Professor chooses great books to read and write about. She is definitely not a harsh grader but does expect improvements from you throughout each essay. She is very kind, very approachable, and cares greatly about how you do in her class. Assignments and essay topics are easy. Just make sure you take your time on your essays and you will pass! :^)

She is the cutest professor out there! She genuinely wants you to find something great about her class. Its not hard to come to lecture because of how great she makes every assignment. Two take home essays, a research paper, and a take home final. The class decides the homework assignments and when essays are due. TAKE HER! You won't regret it!

Comment:

The most frustrating thing about this teacher is she is not clear on assignments. Most of her quizzes had material that we did not cover and was not provided. More than half the class was lost. The whole course is based off food and feels more like a nutrition class. There is not much inspiration to write 8 essays, and a research paper on just food

Comment:

yes she's passionate about her profession, but she's an extremely tough grader. when you ask her to check your essay before you have to turn it in, she skims through it for a minute and says it's fine. then gives a low grade when she grades and gives the essay back. i get why she has a lot of good reviews, but i just didn't like her class.

Professor Allende is clear on what she expects for all assignments. Each class was interesting and made you see things differently. If you ask for help, she will assist you. She gives great feedback and emails back fast. By the end of the semester the workload is less. Manage your time wisely and you will do just fine. Overall a great professor.

Comment:

Seriously do not take her!!!!! Her grading makes absolutely no sense! Yes she is passionate about her profession, but seriously I think she is extremely lazy. If you want her to correct your rough draft for your essay; she'll only correct the first page and she'll do it half-ass. You must visit her a lot to pass her class. Show you really care.

Best English professor. She's passionate about her profession, encourages all writing styles, and is always available. The lectures are group discussions 90% of the time and are based off the interesting, and controversial, readings. 4 Essays, 1 Research Paper, and the Final. Quizzes for most readings. Papers are graded by her rubric.

Comment:

So much of all of Professor Allende's class sessions is class interaction and discussion. If you've done the work and are willing to talkwrite about it, you'll do fine. Papers and assignments are hard enough that, if you're looking to skate, it's not going to work. She gives great feedback and is available out of class for guidancehelp.

Comment:

Professor Allende is definitely very passionate about literature. She did choose good readings throughout the semester. I would say she's a tad bit of a tough grader, she bases it off how much you participate and talk in the class. Therefore, participation is recommended and makes you stand out more as a student towards her.

took this class because she was rated good. I tested in to English 1A and to my surprise it was quite difficult. She expects you to know everything she teaches in her English 67 class even though you didn't take it. expect to write a lot of papers, about 5 are 3-4 pages long and the research paper about 7 pages.

Comment:

Professor Allende is a great professor; however, the class is pretty demanding for a Engl 1A course. Five papers - two were three full pages, and three were four full pages and a research paper which was seven full pages. She grades pretty fairly though. I'll either have an A or a B depending on how I do on the final essay.

Comment:

She is pretty straight-forward with what she wants done. She understands her class isn't the only thing going on in your lives. She tells you how to plan the readings so you can stay on track. She is a pretty easy grader, doesn't really require of much. Just answer the prompt. She's funny and gives great discussions.
