Allen is a great professor, and this was a great class. There is a lot of homework through VHL, but it isn’t terrible. Very interesting class not too hard

Professor Allen was sweet and caring, but a bit disorganized during lectures. Most learning came from online assignments, with class time primarily consisting of review and group activities. She spoke in rapid French for most of her instructions/lectures, leading to some misunderstandings. Overall, the class was manageable but not my favorite.
