Comment:

This guy is the worst. Constantly needs corrected by students when working problems out in class. Disrespectful towards students. Don't ask him any questions or he will make you feel like an idiot. Drop this class immediately if you get this guy.

Comment:

Guy seemed like he tried to be helpful, but wasn't in the slightest. Was very quick to call students out in front of the rest of the class. Made tons of simple mistakes and students constantly had to correct him. Likes to have unannounced quizzes. Try to get another professor if possible.

Absolutely Horrible. Can't say enough bad things. Unprepared, unable to communicate the material, unfair grading. You name it, he does it. Doesn't respond to emails...etc. AWFUL!

I really disliked this guy. He made people who asked questions look like idiots. I couldn't even take notes in the class because he would write random notes all over the board. The tests were very fair though.

Comment:

Dr. Allen is a very poor professor. His exams are fair and if you do well on the midterms you are exempt from the final, but his teaching is atrocious. Be prepared to learn the material yourself.

Comment:

Too much homework and quizzes, and focuses on theory too much. Still, he gives fair tests and will give grades based only on those if you do well.

At least he spoke perfect English. 151 classes are always tough. He still may give extra credit as he did with my class.

This guy will make you feel like crap, then dump nearly impossible calculus on you at random times to make you feel better. I dreaded going to this class, and I failed anyways...

If you get this guy, stand up on the first day as soon as he walks in and give him the finger and leave. Drop the class and get another prof. Trust me it will save you alot of time and energy.

I thought Dr. Allen was fantastic. Don't get me wrong - you MUST work hard or you'll fail miserably. But if you do that you'll be fine and learn alot!!

Just drop the class already: My ADVISOR even reccomended this when she found out I had him, but it was too late in the quarter. I repeat, drop him. He is a worthless teacher that makes students feel guilty about living, and his tests are impossible.
