Allison was one of the greatest profs I ever had. He is very thoughtful and is willing to listen to anybody that has a say in anything. He is a VERY amusing person to talk and listen to and makes you feel extremely wanted in the class, in a good and heartwarming way. The course readings might be tough but it all makes sense in the end.

Professor Dube has to be the best prof I have ever had. I'm in one of his Gned courses, and often I find I don't want to be in gned classes because the prof doesn't want to be there either.

Yes Allison is a kind person, however the reality is that he is a horribly slow marker & marks way too hard for a foundation level general education class. His expectations are unclear.
