Comment:

Prof. Allen was awesome. There are 5 tests in MyMathLab as well as various hw's and quizzes for each section. Lowest grades get dropped. No midterm but there is a cumulative final which was easy if you study and pay attention during lecture. No honorlock. He combs through the tests and curves grades if there are any rounding errors in your math.

Comment:

Take professor Allen! He is the best ! You have 5 tests and there is a mandatory final to take - your lowest test does get dropped. There are discussions and quizzes that are due every week on Sunday. The class is fast pace because there are 5 tests to cover but if you study and review the study guide you will do fine. There is no honorlock.

Comment:

Professor Allen speaks like Bob Ross, makes class interesting like no one can make Stats and really puts all his effort into helping his students. I am not sure if he teaches other courses, but if you need to take Stat's take him hands down without hesitation! From online video's, to step-by step technology walk throughs his teaching style is fluid

Comment:

I had him for Calc 1 and Calc 3. He gave so much hw in Calc 1 but in Calc 3 he gave hardly any homework. His homework often corresponds to his tests. Both times I took him in Calc 3 and Calc 1 he didn't give exam reviews with problems; however, he told us what would be on the exam. Ex: "Number 10 will be Find Flux of F through S". For all problems.

Comment:

I recommend not taking an accelerated course or summer course unless your good at math. Class is heavy on HW, but that is because of the time frame. He teaches within the parameters set up by the Math Dept. Final is 40% of your grade, but that's not his call. He does whatever he can to help you along the way. He records zoom sessions to assist.

Comment:

Professor Allen is caring and nice. His exams are fairly easy if you do the hw. Make sure you do every assignment, quiz, and exam! The midterm and final will kill your grade (had an A and went to a C) and they are proctored. Very clear grading. 5 extensive hw assignments, along with a quiz and an exam due every week. 79.5 or 89.5 gets bumped up.

Comment:

Prof. Allen is a good choice to have for Calculus. Not an easy class, but was manageable. Do expect a lot of work in the summer semester. Weekly homework assignments (several), quizzes, four exams, and one proctored cumulative final exam. Final exam weighs the most of anything else. Do the work, should be fine.

Comment:

I'm terrible at math so I ended up dropping this class to preserve my grade. It had nothing to do with the professor. He's actually very good, but I do recommend if you take him for math, you should already be good at it. The items he gives on the review will not be the same items for the test so you need to know it all. but overall, good guy.

Comment:

He's a descent teacher. You'll definitely learn the material, but if you want to master Calc 3, don't take him. Now, if you want to more easily get an A, he's a great pick. He does a couple mistakes in lecture, but I did really like the implementation of real-world objects in lectures. He cares about your success, and he tries to make lectures fun.

GOD BLESS THIS MAN! Honestly. I love calc, I didn't think it would be interesting but its like College Algebra 2.0 to be honest. I really learned so so much from this class. I shy away from math but after this class I want to take more math intensive course loads, Professor Allen really got me to like the subject and he has so many of my thanks

Comment:

I really enjoyed this class at first I was worried because I haven't taken a math class in over 10 years but between Mathlab and his personal videos this class was way easier than I was anticipating. I certainly don't think I would have done anywhere near as good on the proctored final if not for his help along the way.

Pretty easy class. Decent amount of homework and quizzes. No midterm but there is a cumulative final exam. Leaves homework open the entire semester, but do not fall behind.. Don't forget the discussions!

I took this class in the summer so it was very tough. Every week there was about 3homework of 3different chapters as well as 3quizzes of those chapters. 4tests for the whole semester and a proctored final exam. Discussion post is 1% of your grade and due every Thursdays. The teacher responds to email, do videos for every week so it helps.

Professor Allen is a great professor for this online class. He provides so many resources so you can learn the material at home. You have the online book, videos, PowerPoints, his online lectures, and practice questions. The homework takes time so you need to manage your time wisely. In this class you literally have to TRY to fail. Pick him!

Professor Allen is amazing. Best math teacher I've ever had. He spent so much time helping us to understand the material. He truly cares about his students and it shows. He's funny and personable. I would definitely recommend anyone to take this class. It's a bit of work - but you'll learn a lot.

Professor Allen gives amazing lecture, very responsive, and very clear expectations. He makes Statistics very easy to understand and provide examples that you may have on the tests/quizzes. Gives you alot of time to do your homework throughout the semester. Also took him for MAC 2233. RECOMMEND!

Professor Allen is the best math teacher I ever had. His lectures are very helpful and you HAVE TO TAKE NOTES if you want to get A's on his tests. Make the effort to come to class, do all the homework, and review the study guide and I guarantee you will get an A. He also makes funny jokes and tells stories so the lecture was never boring. Amazing!
