My favourite prof in the whole entire world! She knows what she's talking about!

She is a very nice teacher, helpful, cute, friendly. Nothing like the other hard math instructors.
Very helpful and an excellent teacher. Talks really quitely so sit near the front or else you won't hear what she is saying
just an overall nice teacher who is very fair in marking and so very polite.
NICE & EASY, RECOMMENDED
she is ok, but her class is hard
She is a very good teacher who knows how to pinpoint common student problems and help students resolve them. You can never go wrong when you take a math course with this teacher.

absolutely a great teacher...^^
She is a great math teacher and she doesn't give homework at all. but you can pass with a little hard work, so taking her class.
Good teacher,very helpful outside of class hours but be advised that there is a 50% failure rate for this course.
Strongly recommand her!!!!
very nice teacher, very helpful. very easy course. Easy to get A+ in her course. Highly recommended!
nice and gives hints
excellent notes and hints if needed. Excellent help for test and quizes if you ask!!
This course definitely requires effort.
The best Math teacher in the world!!! Just come to classes and study for her notes. Easy to get an A+. Highly recommoned ^^
A very good prof. She's always willing to help students and is considerate of them.
Alison is a very good prof. She tells what will be one the text. Just do the exercise and you will be fine. A really nice and helpful teacher.
Waste of money
an incredible teacher!! if your taking a math course take it with alison; if she cant teach you then no one can. she is one of the best teachers at kwantlen hands down.
very nice teacher. the only way ur not gonna get a good mark is if u don't attend class.. even if u sit there.. u'll learn
Alison is super nice, very helpful, and a good teacher. You obviously still need to work in class and do your homework, but she'll help you as much as she can.
She explain all the questions in her notes,easy to understand,simple test, marking is good!If you study a little bit hard, A+ is not a big deal
She is a helpful teacher.
She's very helpful and gives good notes. Her midterms are harder than her examples but the same idea. She gives good outlines for the tests so you know what to study. Recommended
Alison is GREAT!!! SUPER NICE,CLEAR NOTES!!!She's very helpful.I defintely recommand ppl to take her class :)
her voice make u feel sleepy....nice teacher..very helpful...fair test but not very easy...have to do all the assign question to have a better score in the test...althought no HW
One of the Best math proffs at the University. She can really mean the difference between you hating and or enjoying mathematics. I think there are some teachers who should JUST NOT TEACH MATH. She is definatly one who should teach it be it anywere.
She explains every mathmatical steps very clearly. She is patient to students. Pressure was not existed in her class. However, her monotonese voice makes u feel sleepy.
Great teach, always willing to help. Very clear and takes the time to go over stuff if needeed.
she's ausome, easy marker, test outlines are very helpful. She is really nice. Recommended
Awesome teacher that I've ever had. Explains the math really well. You don't really need to buy the textbook since her notes is enough for the exams. Highly suggest people who suck in Math but want to get a good mark in Math, take her class.
best teacher ever
I think she is the best teacher in kwantlen, 'cause she made her teaching considerably clear and easy. Even you just need to study for her notes without a textbook, you can easily get a A.
Great instructor !!
Awesome prof! VERY helpful, VERY clear. Helps you prep for exams. Exams can be tricky, but she makes you think. She has a great sense of humor and is just too cute :) Would definitely take her class again and again. Makes me love math! ha!
Coudln't have asked for a better Calc Prof. Clearly explains material, gives hints as to whats on tests, test are fair, always willing to stay behind and further explain, humble and very nice as a person. As long as you are willing to devote alot of serious studying time (this IS calculus) u will do fine :) GL!
Super Nice Prof! Alison is so kind and always makes sure everyone is doing okay. I found this course difficult if you get behind. Do the homework and you will easily get an A. Highly recommend Alison.
She's very helpful and sweet, and her mannerisms are so cute! She really wants her students to do well. Take her if you can!
The course is very easy, tests and exams are straight forward. BUT they are too easy that you might eventually screw up in the final exam. PLEASE do not trust the mark you got in her course. Her mark is not reflective enough. The way she taught math is too straight forward. key words are missing, methods are not clearly stated.. disappointing
I must say..Allison is the best! I took her precalculus and calculus ...Allison is very nice, patient,and she will anwser every question you ask.^^
very nice and helpfull
she is the best math teacher ever. if you are not sure about calculus in general or scared that you want do well, then no fear because u will get an A in her class if you just go to class and write down notes. because she tells u wats on the exams and marks very easy. she gives 1 mark on a question for just writing somthing down.
Alison is awesome. Her notes are extremely thorough and easy to understand.
Alison is a sweetheart, she cares deeply for her students, and its apparent. However, she assigns a lot of homework, and her tests are hard.
She's great! she explained everything i needed to know and I got a better mark than i ever expected!
She's a great teacher. Loves her job i think. and she's understanding and patient. she asks what mark you'd like, at the beginning of the year, and she helps you get there, if you show up.. My only complaint would be her tutor sessions are too busy with eager students.
She is a good teacher. She cares about her students a lot. She always makes sure the students understand the concepts. She will be always available when you need help. If you listen to her lectures and do your exercise, you will easy end p with a A even A+ in the course.
Fantastic teacher. Very good at explaining material. Quizzes and tests are exactly what is covered in class, no surprises. Recommends doing the hw, which I highly recommend if math isnt your subject, otherwise your grade may suffer.
one of the greatest math teachers Kwantlen has to offer, if you are reading this and looking for a fair, terrific teacher, than I suggest you register before the class is filled.
ALISON IS A VERY HELPPFUL PROFESSOR. SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD SINCE I WENT TO UNIVERSITY. SHE REALLY CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS AND FOLLOWS UP INDIVUALLY WITH EACH ONE TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IN THE CLASS IS KEEPING UP TO PACE. AWESOME PROFESSOR 5/5
Best teacher at kwantlen. Excellent explainer and highly approachable, a mush take!
Fantastic teacher. Very good at explaining material. Quizzes and tests are exactly what is covered in class, no surprises. Recommends doing the hw, which I highly recommend if math isnt your subject, otherwise your grade may suffer. Does not teach from the text, has fantastic handout booklets that she goes over in class. Text book sources given
Alison is a very nice lady and is willing to help. However, she goes through material REALLY quickly. Sit near the front of the class because she's very soft-spoken and mumbles a lot. Overall, not a bad teacher but not the best either. If you have no prior knowledge of calculus, you might have a hard time.
She is simply superb. She teaches VERY well and whoever rated her with a low clarity is an idiot. She explains things clearly by showing EVERY step. She's by far the kindest proff I've ever met as well. Also, try to do all (or at least some) of the textbook questions she assigns because they're similar to her tests.
Really great and friendly. A little hard to hear because she speaks so quietly but overall a good professor.
a really friendly and helpful professor. she is however a little too quiet. Just as long as you take notes in her class and do all the exercises she suggest, it is a piece of cake to pass all her exams.
As long as you come to class, fill out her notes and study them you will do fine. She tells you exactly what she's putting in the test and for how many marks, and she gives you sample mid terms and finals to study. Def recommend her!
Best math prof. ever!
favourite math prof at KPU hands down. she's very quiet though, so it helps sitting closer to the front!
Alison is sooo nice and always tells you exactly what's going to be on the tests, just go to class and make sure to pay attention to notes and study them that's all. She makes it so easy if I needed more math id take her for sure
Alison is very good teacher. I use to fail in maths in india ! Maths was my numbrr one enemy ! Somehow i managed to do precalculas with decent grade ! Calculus with alison was fun she is so motivational and helpful ! Always avaliable for help in and outside the class. she is the best prrof for maths i have ever seen and finished the course with A+
Allison is great! She makes the class easy and is always willing to help.
Best math teacher I've ever had!!!!!!
she is amazing! she went over everything at a great pace, was easy to ask questions and encouraged it! she offered clear expectations for upcoming tests and showed a real passion for what she teaches. would take her again in a heartbeat! she gave lots of practice questions to try not for marks, 1 test, 2 midterms and a final. best math prof ever!!!
Will do her best to make sure every student fully understands the material before an exam. If you don't skip and put about 2 hours of studying for each hour of class, you'll end up with an A+.
She honestly is so amazing. It is just that math was hard and she helped me understand it. Met her at least twice a week at the learning centre.
The best math prof
she is nice. her class is super easy. just take it.
Alison is a great prof. She does give a lot of homework but they prepare you for her tests all of the homework questions are what she has on her tests. She also has a lot of outside class time to go over questions with you I enjoyed her class a lot.
She is an awesome prof. Explains material very clearly. I'm not the best in math, but she makes it easy to understand. Tests are similar to the homework questions.
Alison is extremely kind and wants everyone to succeed in her class. Always very fast with returning marks. Math is just about procedures and repetition. Do the homework and the exams are easy. She tells you what's on them.
Alison is AMAZING! She's super approachable and her lectures are easy to digest.
Videos are too long, tests are confusing. Doesnt really explain in her lecture videos, merely just does it, instead of actually teaching it. Expects you to know the entire course before actually taking the course, always says you should already know this. No we dont that is why we took this class, tests worth half your grade
HW needs to be for marks I suggest using a weber math program but I feel like if the hw was worth marks I would do better on tests. The lectures are way to basic nothing like what the test looks like. Not enough time to complete tests, I miss 2 questions always. entire class is based on tests and exams. textbook has no answer key for some question
very hard marker and a lazy prof does not give HW marks. She gave an outline for how the test maybe and the test and the questions turned out to be the exact opposite, chooses all hard questions for tests in fact this class is only based on tests nothing else no hw no nothing .
She explains everything in an excellent manner. The class was blended asynchronous. She just had three tests weighing 20% each , a quiz of 10% and final exam of 30%. There was no pressure. Her tests and exams were completely based on the material she covered in the class. She is not a tough grader .
I have no words for Alison. Such a amazing professor in kpu. I was medical student and i had math1112(pre-calculus) in my first semester and I got b- grade(69%) just because of Alison. She is most caring professor who replies you within one hour. I'll definitely recommend you this professor.
Best prof who cares about the students, easily accessible outside the class. Lectures are super clear : easy to follow. Questions recommended at the end of videos helps in concept clarity No surprises in tests, she asks what she teaches and you will do well if you follow her videos properly, do homework and ask her doubts wherever necessary.
i did math 1102 and 1112 from Alison. believe me she is great. seriously, i dont have any words for her. Such a caring professor in kpu. i wish i can do all Mathematics from her. she is brilliant. i highly recommmend you to take her if you need a good grade.
There are Math Professors, who became professors because they liked studying numbers, and there are math professors, who became professors because they like teaching: Alison is the latter. Extremely caring, she wants everyone to succeed. She is your cheerleader! Lots of optional homework, clear grading criteria, good feedback, accessible
she is great professor.
Alison is a really nice. Posts video online prior to class. Tests are not at all surprising, you will only see what you studied in class. Just work hard and you will get really great marks.
She is definitely the best math teacher I have EVER had. Super sweet and genuinely caring for students succeeding. I suck at math and took her in hopes to get at least a B, and I finished the course with an A. Exams are super straightforward and easy if you have practiced with the homework and almost identical to the in class worksheets.
Alison is a good professor and an easy, fast marker. Your grade is based on five tests, which are easy if you understand the lectures and homework. The tests were synchronous. The lectures can be long, but she's a good teacher. She's also easy to contact during test times and replies quickly to emails. Would recommend and take again!
Very good professor, very lenient and nice. Marks very well and fairly I would take her for every math class.
I took her last summer—she's super friendly and approachable. Even if you're terrible at math (like me), the class feels comfortable and not intimidating. SIGNIFICANTLY better than Avtar & Sanaei. If you struggle with math, this course feels lighter, though you still need to put in effort. I'd also recommend Michel Virgilio if she's unavailable.
very good!
She was the most caring teachers there is . If you participate in her class,she will make sure you succeed. She answers questions clearly and everything is explained in well detail. Don't worry if you are not good at math because she will help you 100% . Just put in the effort and she will give it right back to u.
Hoenstly had to self study bc i didnt understand anything she was saying
Alison is really sweet, she's one of the best maths professors I've taken, there are videos to watch before class though...but she still explains everything in class.. she's always explains thoroughly and would go over it again if you don't understand. will definitely take her again.
