Teaching

Student Testimonials:

“Allison is very good at communicating the reasons the subject matter isn’t only important to herself (it is obvious English is a passion), but also showing the relevance to the world, society, and to our personal lives and selves.”

“Allison did a great job teaching this semester, her lessons and class overall was always well prepared and you could tell she knew the material well and wanted us to succeed and understand the material as well. I appreciated her understanding, flexibility, and compassion for her students when it came to certain times of the year being busy or other person reasons. She did a great job of creating a welcoming and interactive learning environment even with some classes being held virtually. She also did a great job organization the class, sending reminders, and keeping everyone up to date on what we would be learning every week with an email and announcement on bright space.”

“Allison does really well at making sure we understand the assignments. If something is confusing, she will continue to explain it in other ways until it comes across as understandable to the students.”

“I really enjoyed this class and I think you did a great job in making the course fun. You found ways to relate to all of us…thank you for this entertaining semester and making writing something that I do not despise anymore.”

“I think she did an excellent job giving both negative and positive feedback. Having the one-on-one conferences every other week was very helpful for shy people like me who would never usually ask for help. She also did a really good job of explaining concepts and breaking things down. Another strength was keeping the class interesting and interactive without making the participation requirements seem like a burden or a chore.”
