After reviewing several comments , I doubted whether A range is achievable in this subject, especially for Allan's class. In my view, activeness is definitely one of the crucial elements getting an A in his class

Descriptive Essay (12.5/15)
Personal statement (Major allocation) (16/20)
Elevator Pitch (4/5)
Argumentative Essay (??/25)
Inforgraphic (??/10)
Presentation (??/10)
Class participation (??/15)

As my oral presentation was not so good (overrun for half minute), I'm stunned to know this result at the first glance. I strongly believe that A is granted with my enthusiasm towards asking and answering questions during classes.

Agree with previous comments; if you want to learn, you'd better not to reg Allan as your tutor. Even his spoken English is native American, he is an "over laid-back" guy (1.does not response email 2. no plan for teaching 3. don't give back grades for assignments)

Only one thing is good that you can earn how much you've paid.

Anyway, I've given all negative comments in his ELQ.

infographic: 16.5/20

essay 2: 16.5/20

essay 2: 17.5/20

SAC: 12.5/15

If you are a perfectionist, this course will devour all your time. The teacher may give an A if she's touched by your effort.

導師:Sumie好好人,好energetic,上堂請食野又俾心機教,PowerPoint 好詳盡,email秒回,又好俾心機記人名嗰啲,佢俾啲advice好有用只要跟足,同諗個有創意既topic包高分。課程:上堂好悶,不過關課程事,13個week整一個infographic同交2篇文,堂堂都講文真係好悶。功課:infographic有好gp mate就得,作文就因人而異。
