Jack is a great teacher. He knows the material. His projects were not impossible but difficult. He expects students to work hard and what I learned from him helped me endless times when I was designing circuits.

Comment:

I took his course in the late 60?s.For the final project, he hit us with an impossible project. I believe his purpose was to demonstrate that everything is not in the courses and books,think outside of the box. I remember that lesson today, it really saved me some time in later life. Here I am retired and he is still teaching real dedication.

Comment:

Dr. Alison is probably the best ECEN professor at OSU. Those that don't like him typically have little interest in the subject and are just looking for an easy grade (like the other engineering science classes).

Comment:

Once you get the basic concepts, you will see that Allison is a good teacher. He repeats the big key points in his lectures over and over, its just that you need the interest and desire to stay with him and LEARN what's going on. Just because you hear the words doesn't mean you understand them. The program "circuit tutor" helps get the basics down.

Comment:

Frankly, from earlier about his handwriting, he had a stroke and can't use his right hand, so he has to use his left. Also, he is an amazing guy, really classic knowledge, but is very up to date also. Lectures are sometimes funny, if you catch him on the right day (electric chair day :-)) Just learn from him.

I took a class from Dr. Allison in 1984 and I am now a professor at another university. Knowing what I know now, Professor Allison is among the elite. I hope his future students appreciate him.

Ridicules students for asking questions. Handwriting is atrocious. Good luck distinguishing a resistor from a wire.

I loved this class, it was excellent. Search for a program called "Circuit Tutor" before you start the class.. it helped me get good grades on his exams easily.
