A very good professor and can teach well

not bad...not bad...sometimes screws up examples///some units were very confuzing and some easy!

i would recommend this prof to anyone. his tests are absolutely simple and so are the assignments. if you ask him for help he'll explain anything until its completely clear, and if you can't understand something he'll show you a different way.

very good prof. made an impossibly hard class not quite so impossible. clear explanations, although he did go pretty fast over one of the toughest units. if it came down to taking a class with him, or another math prof, i'd choose him anyday

I think he is a great guy..just too smart to teach this class..everything goes way over most peoples heads and it really shouldnt..but im sure if he realized that he would find some way to try and dumb it down

He is good! and the class is well organized~the test is very simple, same as the assignment.

A serious and appropriate math prof for a serious math class. Bouncing with energy.Thinks about twice as fast as most people--be prepared, pay attention, and don't miss classes(!!). I loved his class, but it was difficult, and I didn't show up as much as I should have. Best math prof I've had yet.

Easy class, my high school math class was harder. Tests are questions from assignments, so if you know how to do your assignment, you can do well on the tests. He sometimes goes on too long with examples, or he will do an example wrong and then try to explain it but just confuses everybody.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! This guy is so happy about math! I love it! I can't wait to take more classes from him. I recommend him as a prof. Awesome!

The best math prof I have ever had. He is easy to understand, very helpful, and very entertaining (making it much easier to stay awake through a math class, lol).

best math teacher i've had. very patient, always willing to help. he does make math interesting.. but his tests are a bit of a **** :)

Easy to understand, relays concepts very well. Probably the best "Teacher" i've had in math. Very unique and flexible assignments. TEST ARE HARD. No gimmy marks on these ones guys, you gotta know your stuff, and know it well. Expects you to applie what you learn, instead of going through the steps. Throws monkey wrenches in questions on tests.

really good at explaining what to do, if you can keep up. Is helpful but has "superior" tendancies. can be pretty funny, and provides good study guides for exams.

Goes over all the material and doesnt try to trick you on his exams. Very clear content shows all the steps involved in getting to solution. Always has good reviews for his exams. Weekly assignments helped me have an understanding for questions. All around good guy, (get some new shoes though, runners dont look good with khakis and a vest haha)

Great prof. Very clear gives lots of examples. Made material very easy to understand. Lots of assignements but the material on the assignments was all very relevant. No tricks on exams just wants to test knowledge not trying to trip up his strudents. Would definitely take anouther cllass from him

Excellent Prof. On time. Very organized when teaching. Gives excellent reviews for midterms and the final. Weekly assignments, but very relevant. I am extremely weak in math and he made it make sense. Also, the text (by Bluman) was excellent if you are ever stuck. Would take another class from him!

Excellent prof.

Excellent Prof!Gives a ton of examples, notes are all on website.weekly assignments but they are not really hard and help you learn the material. Very approachable, if your not understanding something go to his office and he will help you understand!

Boring class, kinda a boring guy. Very average prof, not great but i would still take another class from him. Lots of examples. Assignments every week gets old fast however

Very good prof, very smart. I was never that good in math in high school and I got my best mark with him in University. Gives easy easy marks on assignments if you just write stuff down on your paper. Very clear, helpful and easy to understand. Im no extremely smart person and Allen was a good person to have for one of my weaker subjects. Thumbs Up

He is very interested in math history and it shows in his teaching. He is actually a proff that asks if you understand what he did, but not always in the most convenient places, as some times he goes over some examples to quickly by doing multiple steps at once, and that is not helpful when your calulus skills are rusy. take this class with him!

Super enthusiastic and quite entertaining with classes where he showed applications (Guy can solve a rubik's in less than 5 mins!). Show up to class as he writes a lot of notes. Assignments are great practice for exams. Super helpful in office hours (will spell things out for you). Does really good reviews before exams so pay attention.

I am really enjoying Professor Herman's Introductory Finite Mathematics I. Lectures move along at a good pace and include everything you need to know for the quizzes. He is accommodating. Students weren't grasping some of the concepts, so he spent one class just reviewing material from a previous class. Not a heavy course load. A great class.

he works fairly fast, like when he's is giving notes, and you will have to do work outside of class to understand somethings, but he is a good grader and give marks for just trying the questions.

I honestly thought he was hilarious, even though he might not have been trying to. I feel like he is just too smart for us to comprehend and has a million things going on in his head. His jokes were beyond lame but they were incredible ad he was really entertaining.

Number Theory is rank, but he gets you through it. He always helps with assignments, and believe me, you will need help. Also, try to arrange with him ahead of time to get more time for tests, because you will need it. He said the midterm would be 6 questions but it was 12.

not the best at lecturing but really cares Spent 2 hours reviewing the day of our final Sets it up so your best marks count and is helpful over email Tries really hard to be funny( he isnt) I would recommend if you have a good basic math knowledge since he does skip some steps( he will go over if you ask, however)

Dr. Herman went through the concepts quite quickly, and his explanations/examples may be confusing at times. Be sure to do the homework, though it is non-mandatory, because it helps ALOT. I found his corny jokes hilarious, and he's a great guy, but would recommend taking this course from another prof because he wasn't the best at explaining things.

Allen is a good guy, he wants you to pass and gives you everything you need to do so. Youll still have to spend time studying to make sure you have every ingrained in your head, but he does amazing with what he teaches. Makes classes worthwhile, this is a prof youd want. Allen is a safe bet

Allen is an awesome prof. He stresses understanding and can actually make the class more enjoyable. He lays out requirements for exams very clearly telling you what to prepare for. Overall very good.

Very generous when it comes to giving out marks for trying during tests, and he often reviews the content learned the previous classes. Caring guy, but wouldn't recommend taking him if math isn't your strongest subject, he expects his students to already know a lot of the content and doesn't explain everything in detail. Funny without trying though

Difficult and long assignments, okay midterms, and okay final. Professor cares about his students. Does review sessions before each midterm and before the final. If you have any questions about the assignments or the grading, he will gladly help you if you go to his office. Curved the first midterm, and had midterm replacement grades on the final.

Herman gives hard assignments but then decent midterms and final. Does require you to do practice questions outside of class for homework. Never seen a person get as excited over math as he does, but that makes the lectures a little more interesting. Definitely would take him over some of the other math profs at the U of R.

If you want your average to fly up to the seven heavens. Take this class with this prof.

You can pass the class without going to lectures like all other classes. But highly recommend going to his. It will be difficult to understand some things due to him going in too in depth. However, this is also a very hard class. BEAUTIFUL HANDWRITING. His office hours are flexible and he will help you until you understand why and how. amazing prof
