One of the best teachers out there.
It's not Mr. Allen's fault, but this course is ridiculously easy and, therefore, quite boring. As an instructor, he is willing to help students until they understand the concepts.
Mr. Allen is great. Very organized, good sense of humor, and approachable. I disagree that this course is easy, it's just different. The concepts are necessary for those that have to take the CLAST test. I highly reconmend Mr. Allen!
Mr. Allen is a great professor. Very organized and fair. Some concepts are tricky but he makes them as clear as possible. There is a comprehensive exam so make sure you pay attention to ALL MATERIAL presented in class.
Great all around teacher! I truly LEARNED in his class, and it wasn't even painful. As long as you keep up in class, and study a little for tests tour good. Take Allen, he rocks!
excellent math skills, helpful via email/phone for my convenience. Understands course material and follows effectively.
very good
he's a hottie! And a good math teacher, as well:)
Mr. Allen is a great teacher. Best math teacher i ever had.
Very nice teacher, very good instructions. Great math teacher.
This guy is GREAT! I HATE MATH, but he makes it fun (great sense of humor), and easy (extra credit and will help if you're struggling). I am terrible at math, but I am now so thankful to have had a teacher like Professor Allen!!
Great teacher! Everyone should get him...he is very helpful and you have to really try to fail this class. Best math teacher i ever had and i hate math!! He is awesome
He is very fair. Gives extra credit.
Mr allen is the type of teacher that gives you what you deserve. He always offers extra credit and is very helpful. At some points in the class, I had to try and stay awake but overall, he is a very good teacher
Great teacher, Took him for Liberal Arts and Stats. Very clear and helpful.
Great teacher. I had to retake the course from the horribel Quarles...and he is AWESOME. Very nice and understanding and works with the student! Just began teaching there full time, so hop on the train!!!! (oh and easy work, helps you out, test are simple but challenging if u didnt study, and EXTRA CREDIT!!!-hard to fail this teacher!)
Great teacher. Take him! He will teach you and is very nice. He is now a full time SPC teacher, so get in his class ASAP. I would suggest him to anyone.
Goes over the material throughly
Makes class fairly interesting. Very nice and clear on lectures. A++++++
He's an good teacher, at first i didn't like his teaching style but as the class went on he turned out to be a good teacher.
He's awesome! Wish he was teaching college algebra! He's easy to understand, always helpful, offers extra credit severl times, does review sheets and in-class reviews. All types of teaching methods and always willing to go the extra mile. He's a likeable guy who doesn't try to trick you and is always straightforward about the tests and quizzes!
Mr. Allen was so great... I am so bad in math and he makes it so easy he explains everything well and gives a lot of extra credit. 4tests 1 midterm and 1 final-dont take final if you have an A or a B in class
Highly Reccommended. Easy going, nice. Paid attention to review sheets that he gives its very similiar to the test.
awesome, very understanding easy going. teaching method very easy to follow. his method is everyone's method. i just got a B in his class...possible to get an A but i kinda slacked. FANTASTIC
He's the man. He's funny, helpful, lenient, and yet still informative.
Here's how the class works: Attendance is mandatory by the college. Homework is NOT collected. 5 tests, the avg. is your grade. You can CORRECT all the mistakes you made on the test for 1/2 credit. You get a 50, turn it into a 75 by doing the corrections. If you can't pass this class, you're an idiot. Goes out of his way to help you. And he's sexy!
He is the best math teacher. It are so easy as long as u do the homework. He is an excellent teacher. I highly recommend u take this class!
GREAT TEACHER, VERY HELPFULL AND UNDERSTANDING U WILL NOT REGRET TAKING HIS CLASS.
Great teacher. Quite possibly, the most patient professor in existence. Easy A if you pay attention, and how could you not the guy has the voice of a hypnotist. Would take again without a doubt.
Mr. Allen is the best math teacher. He is very helpful and explains things in our language and if you dont get it he will explain it to you until you do get it. Hes very good, if i had to take another math class i would take him without a doubt.
He is the best stat instructor ever! This is a great instructor for those of you who struggle with math. If you really apply yourself you could possible get an A.He really breaks it down to help get you on track!
AWSOME MATH PROFESSOR! TAKE HIM! Im a math-'tard and got a B+ in his stats class! Do his study guides and go to him for tutoring right before the tests and you'll do really well. Also- no final if you have an A or a B at the end of the session. Easy mid term project too that reflects all of the material covered.
Professor Allen is one of the best math teachers I have had. He explained everything clearly, and doesnt get upset when you ask questions. His class structure is very well put together. This was an easy A, even though I got a C on one of the 5 tests and a 9/10 on one of the 15 homeworks. If I take another math class, I will take it with him.
This is a great teacher. He gave me my chance for an A and I got it! He is very easy to talk to and learn from. I seriously suggest this teacher for elementary statistics!!!
Prof Allen is cool. I earned an A for the class and I'm not a math wiz. You have to go into this class knowing it's going to be tough and ready to exceed with each chance you get and Prof Allen will give you the tools. He's very understanding and helpful.
I forgot what the class was because it was several semesters ago. But I was never a fan for math... Professor Allen helped me. When he was subbing one day I went into the classroom and he helped me review for a test while the other class was doing busy work. He definately has time for his class.
Take him... Very fair and easy. A good math teacher will make or break you... Take him....
Mr. Allen is a great teacher. He is very helpful and very clear on what he expects from student. He gives you test reviews and several extra credit opportunities. I plan on taking his stats class in the fall because I liked his teaching method so much.
Great teacher. Answers all of your questions cute sense of humor. Test on every chapter, all study guides online, usually reviews in class. Don't have to take the final if you're happy with your grade. Easy work, great teacher, decent tests... highly recommend!!!!!
If you just need to take easy math class and you not good in it take him because he tells you what?s on the test (exactly) and how to use the calculator (to say no math included). But if you like little challenge you not going to get it in his class. The class is boring and Prof. Allen behaves sometimes awkward and ridicules, and remember when that
...and remember when that happens do not laugh at him he doesn?t like it. Another thing is any time he was asked a question in regards to the material he covered he had no clue, he answered it every single time: ?Oo I don?t know? How embarrassing!!!!!!!
Prof Allen is a really good teacher. He knows his material idk why sombody said he doesn't answer Qs because he does, and it always helps. He's a really smart guy and you can tell jsut by theway he talks, he has poise. He's also pretty good looking for his age =] His sense of humor keeps me awake at 8 o'clock in the morning, and adds to his charm
Never studied and got an A, super easy take him. Also Prof. Allen has the biggest teeth I?ve ever seen??very charming
Great teacher in class. Taking this class online is a bad idea, material is very difficult without the lecture.
Very hard class especially online, but I am horrible at math. Great teacher, very clear in online explanations. You can take the quizzes three times; no midterm, STUDY UP for the final! Overall, I recommend this class and teacher (if you are unfortunate enough to have to take caluclus!) ;>)
Really nice teacher. Very Helpful. Tests are not multiple choice therefore he gives partial credit for trying.
Good professor, recommend for online over the other choices. Easy to understand, willing to help.
Absolutely wonderful! Great teacher, clear, helpful, & fun. Stats is a boring subject & he knows it so he tries to make it as simple and interesting as possible! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
He is a great teacher and teaches at a good pace. Is available for those he need extra help. Very clear and provides study quides that prepares you for the test. No mandatory homework, never even opened the book. No final and 5 tests, one of which is a take home. Good class for those who are good at math and those who hate it. Very charming!
This was a great class. Mr. Allen teaches at a steady pace, but explains all concepts in detail. Everything we learned was very easy to understand. There are five chapter tests and no final. I got an A in this class and would recommend this professor to anyone who loves or hates math--he is great!
Very very helpful. Tests are ok if you study. Doing homework really helps. Coming to class does too. Highly recommend!
This teacher is easy enough so you come out with a good grade, but hard enough so everything can stick. His exams are easy, if you do the study guide, and they have EXTRA CREDIT! If you study the lowest you can come out with is a B. I did so well that I didn't have to do the project and I still got an A!! Take him, you won't regret it!
EASY EASY,EASY EASY TAKE HIM TAKE HIM....... JUST DO ALL THE EXTRA CREDIT YOU WILL PASS WITH A BEE ATLEAST..... JUST PUT ANY THING DOWN DON'T WAIT UNTILL THE LAST MIN TO DO THE LAST ONE.. DO THEM ALL TRUST ME.... AND HE HATE THE CALC.. BUT BUY THE CALCULATOR BOOK.. YOU IWLL DO FINE,,,
Mr Allen is a great theacher!!! Just do all the quizes on time and you will do great. He is realy nice person, and he is very understanding. I took his on-line Calculus class and it was easy. The final is easy too. Just do everything on time :)
Mr. Allen is a great teacher whether you love or hate math. His explanations are very clear. He doesn't grade homework, but assigns problems that he tests on. He is very dedicated and it shows. I would recommend him to anyone!!!
One of the best math teachers I've ever had
took online-fabulous instructor who makes great use of technology to aid students' success; great handouts, optional mini blackboard vids, optional live online Q&A, great and timely at email assistance; overall awesome (not easy) experience; couldn't ask for a better instructor! Highly recommend!
Took online calc. Super helpful teacher. Would refer him to anyone, but take in class.
My fav math teacher! he's understanding. teaches thoroughly and gives great notes. offers extra credit w| every hw assignment and drops lowest test grade of 5. he gives a GREAT review. He will help during offer hours. i honestly have no complaints about professor allen. if u miss class, u can come to another class of his. i got an A w| him! =]
Prof. Allen is a great and fun teacher! He is extremely helpful! Took this class during the summer and my grade was based on 3 tests and homework and 1 project which as super easy and I am not good at math and managed a B+.
Professor Allen is an awesome teacher. Very helpful notes on the board and comprehensive test review. You can really tell he likes the subject and teaching. Highly recommend him for Stats
he is funny n nice, n class is easy. before test he gives review and its basically almost the same info as test. 1 final project take place of exam. its easy as well. cumulative of everything learned from the semester. not much hw, if u dont understanstand, he'll go over in class. give LOTS of ec!!!
I took this calculus class online. Was scared as heck about it but there was not any on campus classes available to fit my schedule. Absolutely fantastic! He shows everything you need to know crystal clear. He does an hour a week online session you can watch at your own convenience. Very helpful!I got an A and I hate math!Best math teacher EVER
THIS PROFESSOR IS AMAZING!!!!!!..I got an easy A+ with this professor, he is crystal clear, challenging yet easy tests, and would help you no matter what the problem is... I WOULD RELLY RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE !!!! MUST TAKE!!
GREAT TEACHER. VERY HELPFULL. I MISSED A LOT OF CLASS BUT HE STILL WORKED WITH ME TO GET ME CAUGHT UP. I ALSO FOUND HIM SO SEXY IN THAT MATH TEACHER KIND OF WAY ;0
A math instructor that can explain clearly. Questions are encouraged. Not just a facilitator, a real pro in teaching and allow everybody a "love" for math. A rare instructor - an asset to any college or university.
I had to retake this class Mr. Allen came highly recommended, I was a little apprehensive after my experience with a horrible teacher I had just come from, and he was brilliant! He has an intimate knowledge of the material and a gift for relaying that knowledge to students, I actually enjoy math again. SPC needs about 100 more like him.
He has a well organized approach to teaching, replies to email quick. Keeps class entertaining but also on task. He grades fair. Homework is from the book but only 1-2 problems per chapt. Also I believe he has the text online, also school library has one. No math lab:) He usually has an extra calculator. I learned a lot from this class.
Awesome, friendly, and explains everything!
Funny, great explanations, lenient on due dates, tests only cover reviewed material, plenty of extra credit opportunity. Take this teacher for as many math courses as you can.
Awesome teacher, I was nervous about Math online, but he does online interactive sessions - - great. Nice guy and explains math in a very easy to understand way.
I loved this class, it was way easier than intermediate algebra. I would highly recommend, he is entertaining, I never would have thought we would be laughing in a math class. eight small homework assignments, four online quizzes, and four tests is all you do in the class. If you do the test reviews he gives extra credit on your test. Very easy.
Mr. Allen is a great teacher, very helpful,and funny. I will be taking him for statistics :)
Great professor.
Mr. Allen is an awesome teacher! Very easy, shows you how to do equations by hand but then by calculator (which can use on test). Drops one test grade and gave quiz forgiveness week. 4 tests, 5 HW assignments, 5 online quizzes (2 attempts). Will to help if you go to office. Easy A
Professor Allen is a wonderful instructor. He is accommodating, funny, makes the class as interesting as he can. Professor Allen is always prompt with Email response and you can honestly ask him anything before class in his office and he will show you how to do it. He is wonderful instructor and I HIGHLY recommend him. Minimal Homework. Online quiz
I took Intro Stats with Mr. Allen and loved it! He is funny, keeps things simple and clear and makes math fun! Easy A!
Professor Allen is funny and very thorough! Offers test reviews online and usually the class before - open door anytime - wish I had taken for Calculus as well as Statistics.
Awesome teacher. Made the material very easy to understand and did a great job engaging the class. He was very clear about what material would be on the test. I can honestly say this is the first math class I enjoyed.
He is an excellent professor! Take him! He makes things very easy! Ive almost completed the semester and I'm unsure of my grade. I would take him again in a heart beat! He is funny, and makes the class fun. There 5 tests and he drops the lowest score his study guides are exactly what are on the exams. TWO thumbs up!!
Grade is based on four tests and any extra credit given. He didn't seem to give as much extra credit as everyone else says. He has a good sense of humor and is very approachable. Test reviews are very similar to the actual test. Tests are usually 20-25 questions, no multiple choice. Study, study, study and you will be alright. Ended up with a B-
Prof Allen is a great math teacher. I took this class with someone else and withdrew because she made it boring. He is funny and explains everything. 5 teats (study the reviews) lowest is dropped, 5 hw assign, 5 quizes and 1 project. I got an A in the class. He is not hard, but he is not easy. This is stats, its not suppose to be easy. 2 thumbs up
He is one of the greatest teacher I had, he actually has a heart. I was failing and really gave me confidence that i passed. I totally suggest getting him for statistics.
He made the class interesting and easy. He is sort of funny which helped keep us focused even though the subject is kind of boring. He has online quizzes that you can retake once and in-class tests which he fully prepares you for. Do the homework; it will prepare you. Overall, an awesome teacher. I highly recommend him.
A very good class. Was initially skeptical of taking an online applied calc course, but he makes it easy. He provides a ton of resources, hosts weekly online lectures, and is VERY flexible. I haven't even met the guy, but he's everything that a good professor should be. Of course, it wasn't an easy A, it took some work. But he sets you up nice
This class was extremely hard for me! But he is so good at what he does that I passed. I would definately take him again if I have too. Please take him if you need Calculus. 4 test and one final exam, you much pass the final to get credit for the class.
He Is awesome!!! he gives you all the tools you need to pass his class..you can tell he loves his job and his students.always there to respond to your questions.
Although this was a difficult subject to take online, Prof Allen did an excellent job teaching. You have to do the homework and keep up to get a good grade. He has weekly live web sessions so you can learn and ask questions. Sometimes the test include more complicated problems than the quizzes. Prompt with emails during the week.
Prof. Allen is an AMAZING! Teacher! Took him for stats, he gives you a review for every test and they are very similar. Few HW assignments and 1 project at the end of sem. If you just go to class take the notes and do the review you'll get an A! He is THAT good of a teacher, can't wait to take him next sem for calc with Ana geo. :)
No one wants to take Calculus on-line, but I had to because of class availability and time constraints. The combination of Mr. Allen's weekly optional webinars and the clear cut way that mymathlab teaches the class is great. He is very hands on and generous with allowing retakes on quizzes and time extensions on homework. I'm pleased and impressed.
RECOMMEND Prof. David Allen’s calculus online. Used mymathlab hw, ch quizzes, 4 exams, cumulative final. Is exceptional bc Allen provides live open forum allows students to ask questions. Is very professional, cares about students Just keep up with MML,allows some retakes, extra credit to help you pass. My FAVORITE teacher today–he's so NICE!!?
Great teacher. Really cares about student's grades. Even though the class was online, he offered help between his classes, and even offered to attend his class.
Took him for Elementary Statistics. He makes learning the formulas very easy. Gives some extra credit. 5 tests, drops the lowest test grade and there is a semester project at the end that replaces the final. Great teacher to take for math, but like any math class you have to study and do the homework to pass!
THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER! If you are taking Calculus, choose this professor. He is AWESOME! The online lectures are absolutely essential to success. Passing this class is one of the greatest accomplishments of my life and I owe it all to this professor and lots of studying.
Great Instructor. Will recommend to everyone I know. Constantly tells you to email if you have any problems, and prompt reply. Does a weekly video to review sections and help with problems. The class itself is not easy but he helps every single step of the way. If you do the Homework, the quizzes and tests are not hard.
Plan on going to class and doing your homework and you will be fine. Calculus. He keeps it simple and explains all work. Homework isn't graded but I recommend doing it. Grade is based off 4 test. You can re-take one test as your final. Gave two 5-point extra credit assignments. I took it in class and he opened all notes, examples, & videos online.
I can confidently say that David Allen is far and away the best teacher I have ever taken. Clear, concise, engaging, funny, and knowledgeable, he is pretty much everything a college student wants in a professor. You will hardly ever be bored, you won't be worked to death, and he is always available to help. I strongly suggest taking him!
Without a doubt one of the best math teachers at SPC. Amount of HW is reasonable, and quizzes are online.
Very funny and engaging in class. Always felt like I could come in and ask questions about our classwork. Will help you with your online quizzes and walk you through problems.
hes aweosme
Took him online for Calc. It was all on my math lab, 2 homeworks and 2 quizzes due a week. Unlimited tries on homeworks and 3 tries on quizzes none of it is timed. 4 Tests one try each. No mid term just a final. At the end of the semester he opens up all the work again for you to improve and you can retake one test. A lot of work but not bad.
He is awesome! I thought I was going to have trouble with this class because calculus sounds like it would be so difficult but NOPE! He is so helpful and easy to learn from. Class was laid back everyone asked questions. He gives homework, just a few questions (about 4) from each section. SIMILAR pretest and answers as well as how to solve online
He knows the subject. He tried to make everything clear. Few homework. Review Tests. If you do you homework and show to class you get a pretty good score.
Professor Allen has all the right ingredients, and style of an excellent Professor i.e. very knowledgeable, teaches effectively, patient, hilarious, promotes critical thinking and participation by asking questions, and is always there to help by email or during office hours. I highly recommend taking his classes for a fun educational experience!!
Took Professor Allen for calculus online. Best online class I've ever taken. Posts a video every week clearly explaining the material you'll be learning that week. Everything was done in my math lab and you have 2 homeworks and 2 quizzes due a week. Absolutely amazing professor, would recommend him to anyone.
take prof Allen he is fantastic! he turns math into English and he keeps it interesting. I suck at math but he does such a good job of making you understand. TAKE TAKE TAKE
I was hesitant to take Calculus online, but Professor Allen made it easy and understandable. Work done on MyMathlab. Opens up past homework and quizzes, at end of semester, and allows an extra attempt. Allows one test retake. Gives online lectures each week. Do Test Review (Homework and Quizzes), and you'll pass. Phenomenal Professor.
I wasn't a fan of stats, but I can understand why this professor has so many good reviews. He made it easier to understand the fundamentals instead of what teachers normally do where they kind of "give" you the answers. He's willing to work with you in the case you have issues arise. Pay attention in class! You'll have an easier time studying.
Great professor! I would highly recommend taking him. There is homework, but he will go over any questions that you have in class. The test review mocks the test so there is no reason to do poorly. I would take any class he offers.
Terrible
4 tests at home, 1 final has to be proctored. have to do homework and quizzes on mymathlab.
Very helpful teacher. I took him Stats 1 and he was amazing. Easy homework, online quizzes that he encourages you to take with others for help (Easy 100%), and will let you reschedule tests if you have a reason for missing it. He'll take homework late too (AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A REAL REASON), and extend quizzes. Great teacher
AMAZING! Dr. Allen is the BEST math instructor I've had my entire life!!! I withdrew from STATS twice last semester and but didn't have a choice, I needed it to graduate this Summer. He not only communicates for you to understand, he CARES and truly wants you to "get it." Always available, happy to help, and a kind man. Take Dr Allen!!!
Took for calc 2, 3 and DE. If you have to take any of these and are nervous about math, take David Allen. Best math teacher I've ever had. Will Go out of his well to help you with anything. Tests not easy, but you get a very clear review/outline and he's great about partial credit. More worried about you showing you know concepts than answer.
Great professor! I took stats with him & even though he's great at teaching, I struggled quite a bit because I am awful at match but he is so helpful and flexible! He allows you to make up tests, homework,etc and really just wants to see you pass! Dr. Allen is a genuinely nice person and somehow made sure I got through with a B. I reccommend him!!
I am definitely not a math wizard, but this professor is among the best teachers at SPC. I also took him for Intermediate Algebra and easily passed. I did not plan on taking his Calculus course online but it was still passable. I had a really hard time with it but this guy really does the best he can to help you pass. Definitely take this class.
Great Applied Calculus Professor! I took him online. Lots of homework and quizzes, but it helps you prepare for the tests/final exam. He offers some extra credit and lets your retake quizzes and a test at the end of the semester. Three attempts for each quiz and unlimited attempts for homework. Take him!
Very caring and understanding professor. Requires a lot of studying but so does the course by nature. Many Extra Credit Opportunities and retakes as well. One of the better professors I've had. I took him also because he was highly rated. Responds quickly to help with any math problems you need assistance with. Great teacher.
He lets you make up your lowest grade (out of the tests). There is lots of homework. He has reviews for all tests including final exam. There are 4 discussions, a quiz for each section (class only covers chapter 1-4) and then 4 chapter tests! You have ALL semester to do your homework but quizzes and tests have deadlines.
Professor Allen is a great teacher for Stats. Apply yourself and do the homework and this class will be an easy A.
I had professor Allen for calculus and he made it really easy and fun! He's hilarious and enjoyed going to class every week! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
David Allen is a great professor recently took his class for summer Stats and passed his class he really cares about his students and there success and wanting them to pass the class and have understanding of the material by far the best math teacher at SPC College would recommend his class to anyone who needs to compete a math class
He's a nice guy and all but not a great professor. He will teach the material okay in class but when it comes to the test the questions are set up in ways you have never worked on before. His homework and quizzes are only due on test days which is cool but he is a pretty average teacher at best.
His class has a lot of points available and is probably an easy class for someone who is good at math. For me, someone who is not good at math I had to go to him for help multiple times. He is not a very sociable person and has a personality of a rock. He wasn't very helpful/ wanted to help me succeed. I benefited more from you tube videos.
Professor Allen's class was a little challenging for me because math is not my forte. I visited Professor Allen a lot during his office hours so that I could get more one-on-one help. The tests were a little challenging as well. He was very helpful. If I needed another math class I would take it with Professor Allen.
I recommend Professor Allen for Elem. Statistics. He explains concepts well and if you need clarification, he welcomes opportunities to answer any questions you may have. You will learn a lot and will do well if you put in the effort to study and do the homework in preparation for the tests. He provides a review for each test. Highly recommend!
He's a good professor, and that's coming from a person who is not fond of math. He gives a review the class before every test. Do the homework and pay attention to reviews and you will do fine. Don't do the reviews and pay attention and you will not.
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!
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 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.
i really loved this class, if you dont understand the criteria ask and hell make sure you understand. i passed the class with a B
Best professor since I have been in college-Clear about what needs to be done. Weekly emails to make sure you are on track. Available for help whenever. YouTube videos to go through chapters. Lets you know what to expect on final and when you get to the school to take the final. This teacher goes above and beyond-Hard class!! but hes there for you!
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!
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.
Super easy class, just do the homework and quizzes and you'll be fine. Responds to emails very quickly and very helpful.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Prof. Allen is so wonderful, he is a gift to higher education!
This is a mathematics teacher that actually wants you to be successful and pass their class. The first time I took MAC2233 I had a teacher who gave minimal help and feedback in the course. Professor Allen will help you every step of the way and is always quick to respond to questions and emails. I owe him a huge thank you for running a great class.
Professor Allen is amazing! Please take his class if you have the opportunity to do so! He explains everything thoroughly and will help anyone with a question. He is even willing to stay after class to help. He is always smiling and its contagious. Very sweet and very professional. Homework is very straight forward. Please take his class!
Loved the energy in his lectures! He explains concepts very well and really keeps class interesting. There's a proctored cumulative final so the most important advice I'll give is to 1) pay attention in class 2) do the homework 3) do his review at the end of the sem so the info will stick. Not really an easy class but not too difficult!
I would have loved to take Prof Allen again! His stats class is super easy and he is willing to work with you one on one if needed. He always replies back to emails and will give great feedback.. Participation matters! He has 5 quizzes , weekly discussion post (you cant fail them. very easy) and the final is only 20% of your grade! TAKE HIM!!!!
This Professor is one of the best math professors I have ever had.
There are so many nice things I could say about Professor Allen. I was originally very nervous about taking statistics but I made the right decision when I chose to take it with him. He is very understanding, and breaks down concepts so that they are understandable. If you do the homework, quizzes, and all the readings you will be fine!
Absolutely amazing professor and really cares about having his students pass. Gave a lot of extra credit points if you show your work. Would definitely take this professor again!
I really liked Professor Allen! His course summer course was hard because we had to understand a lot of concepts in a short time, but interesting. He is not a tough grader and makes it easy to get As and Bs. Very helpful. He helped me get into the course, which was already filled. His projects were interesting and showed the applications of DEs.
Great professor. His summer course was hard but interesting. Quite a lot of stuff to understand for short time. Not a tough grader. Very helpful. He helped me register for the course, which was already filled. The projects were cool. They helped me understand the applications of DEs and their application to physical and engineering problems.
Great Professor, DE is a tough subject but he makes it easier. Generous grader and understanding, no final for summer term. All quizzes, hw, and tests were on Webassign. Gave us projects to do that were interesting and applied the material we learned. I highly recommended Professor Allen for DE.
Professor Allen is the best math professor I've ever had. I didn't consider myself math savvy at all before taking this class, but Prof. Allen made sure I thoroughly understood the material. This class is NOT easy. Buckle down and take the time to do the work. If you dedicate yourself to the class, Professor Allen will dedicate himself to you.
Personality is comparable to a rock.
This profesor was amazing, I thought the 5 star review had to have been a coincidence but he thoroughly deserves it!
Best professor I had at SPC. I wish I was able to take him again. Very willing to help with material you don't understand. If you have the opportunity please take his class. Explains things very well and makes the class entertaining.
This professor is amazing 100%! This class was just difficult with the work load. Honorlock is used for the Midterm and Final which are also a major percentage of your grade so studying for those will really come in handy! Homework and quizzes are on Pearson which gives you multiple chances on getting a better grade. Module tests are also easy!
Loved him. He was very lenient with assignments, just give him an email if anything. He made the lectures fun and easy to understand and explains everything thoroughly. Would 100% take him for every class if I could.
One of the nicest professors i have ever had. He cares about his students a lot. If you ever need anything just let him know, he's always so understanding. His lectures are so fun and funny. He answers emails really fast. He gives test reviews where he lists what will be on the test. Attendance isn't mandatory but i would advise you to still go.
This professor is AMAZING. I would 100% take another one of his classes again. He's funny and very interactive with his students. Homework and quizzes due every week but manageable. One of my favorite professors I have had yet!
This was a great class! The material makes it easy to understand and Prof gives lots of notes. Proctored midterm/final. The midterm and final weigh heavily. I did well but the final had some tricky language and I didn't do great - brought me down to a B. A little disappointing after thinking I grasped everything. Get a TI84 for this class!
Professor Allen is amazing! While the workload can be heavy, he breaks down concepts clearly. Use Unstuck AI, homework, and his end-of-term review for the cumulative final. Attendance matters, but the class is manageable if you stay on top of it.
Great professor. He lectures were amazing and easy to understand.
Awful, made it very difficult to learn as he assumes you already know most of the information. Doesn't use the textbook either. You are made to teach yourself concepts that are difficult to learn on your own. Don't take this class unless you want lots of long nights and tears.
force to teach yourself concepts, with an outdated help video provided. Homework is heavy . The mid and final exams are worth 35% of the grade (both proctored and honor locked).
There is a reason he has good reviews. School was closed for 3 weeks due to hurricane and we did have to resort to videos. In all, his Lectures make stats easy to understand and fun. I would only take stats with this teacher. If you pay attention and do the work there is no way not to get a good grade. I had a bad test grade and still got an A.
You'll have 12 chapters, covers 2 chapters each week. 4 proctor tests, no mid-term, 1 final worth 30%. Have 2 homework assignments per week with 1 quiz online ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) easy, get them all right worth 50% of your grade, you can redo at the end of the semester if low scores. He is super nice, participate to get 10 points extra credit (easter egg).
The best math teacher ever, I wish all my teachers were like him, I took him in fall 2024, it was a very fun class, he teachers very well, and is pretty straight forward with assignments, and is very understanding. Also gives extensions if you need a little more time, overall 10/10 teacher.
All my friends with a different stats teacher did not do well. I was blessed enough to get this teacher who made stats easy. Shows you the hard way and then the easy way to do problems. Stats is not easy therefore there will be home work to help you get it. I wouldn't recommend another teacher for stats.
