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

Madame Allen was an ok professor. She's very sweet and caring, and she's one of the best French professors I've had in the WU French department (although the others suck). She assigns a lot of busy work, she's very unclear about project guidelines, and she's overall very disorganized (especially with Canvas).

Prof. Allen is one of the kindest and caring professors you will have during college. Though I won't be continuing french I enjoyed her class. Coming to class on time is a MUST and there's a lot of homework & some rather tough grading. Nonetheless if you p/f the class or don't care much for your grade you will have a lot of fun and meet new people.

Madame Allen is the sweetest professor you are ever gonna meet. She cares about her students and loves having conversations and helping us understand the language better. Her class can be difficult just because it is very fast, but she tries her best to help anyone falling behind.

The class material is interesting & helpful, but Prof. Allen can get very unorganized which makes things harder. She also can be a bit condescending and rude when grading/giving feedback, which ruins the class experience. The class is definitely worth taking if you want to study French, but go for a different professor if you have the option.

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.

I would recommend taking Allen one of the best professors I've had at Washu. She's willing to go above for those who put in effort.

She is literally the most caring and passionate professor I've met so far in WashU. The class is work-heavy but if you really work your ass off, you will get a A. She gives a lot of extra credit work which definitely helped me to get an A. I would love to meet her again in higher level FR classes. She made learning FR interesting and I loved it.

Madame Allen is by far the best professor I've had at WashU. I told her I was *thinking* about being a French minor, and without any hesitation she created a schedule of all the classes I would have to take throughout college in order to achieve that. She's so caring and sweet- I would love to have her again.

Professor Allen was amazing! She is so hilarious, kind, caring, and really a wonderful teacher. She was always available for help outside of class and gives opportunities for extra credit! She has made me love French and has helped me learn so much in just one semester! I highly recommend taking a class with her!
