Dr. Allen is quite frankly the friendlyst man alive. He is just a fantastic person to know. His areas on interest are social and environmental psychology, and this class uses a lot of these issues as examples. Really supportive of students and the department as a whole. He is highly recommended. |

His exams are difficult but he is impartial grader. I didnt really use the book in his class at all. If your not great at math, no worries most of the exam questions rely on knowing the logic rather then the computations. Make sure you attend all courses I skipped once and was lost for weeks. |

He is a really friendly guy, really cares about the students, I felt like i learned alot about statistics b/c he makes you learn all the logic behind the stats, exams are all written, I'd say if you go to class, pay attention, try difficult, & put effot in, you can def do well : ) |

Dr. Allen is a great person but I was not interested in his class, at all. At 8:30 in the morning, it can be difficult to focus. He wants students to print out the studies but for an env psych class, it seems like a waste to me. The textbooks were fascinating, I just didn't like his teaching style. The exams were okay, easier w/ the study guide. |

Allen is one of the sweeexam prof.s I have ever had. He is willing to do so much to help you understand the concepts he is teaching, because he cares about them so much. I took it at 8:30am, but turns out it was worth it because of how fascinating everything was, and how well he taught. |

The logic and mechanisms behind stats are his primary focus - computations take the back seat in his class. Expect to write a lot (in English) for his exams. No homework, but there's an in-class activity almost everyday, so come to class, pay attention, and you'll be golden. |
