Mr Allen was a very nice teacher. Easy to get help from. Would love to have him a my teacher again!
Mr. Allen made math not so much a dreaded subject. He was helpful, informative, joked with the class on occassions and was extremely fair. He lectured which seems rare. I highly recommend him for math and enjoyed his class very much.
He is a wonderful teacheR! very helpful and perfect to understand.
Very helpful and willing to help in any way possible. Attend class and do homework and you will get it!
AWESOME teacher! He is very down to the point with everything. Just make sure you show all your work on the tests :/ He is really a nice guy. The class is fairly laid back and he will joke around with everyone, especially after midterm when the class is half as big :)
He is great! He helps you alot and explains everything in a great way! He is funny, and will help you understand what is going on
Very helpful teacher. I wish he taught all of my math classes!
He kept saying, "You may remember this from 99A." Like, "NO! I never took it dammit!" He just presumes we know this stuff.Drove me crazy I didn't learn a damn thing!!
This is a hard class and takes up a lot of time, because you have to do a lot of homework and can't miss class or you'll fall behind, but Mr. Allen makes it awesome. He is great lecturer, very approachable, jokes around, and seems to enjoy teaching. He is very patient and available when you have questions or think you are falling behind. Great.
Mr. Allan is the best! I had him back in Fall of 2008. He is very helpful and explain things fairly well. If you do not understand, he will take the time to explain things to you. I highly recommend taking him...you will not be disappointed.
GREAT PROFESSOR! I had him for both 99B and MAT191. I've been struggling with math since sophomore year in high school, but Mr. Allen's classes made me truly understand math. He is an awesome instructor and I would HIGHLY recommend him.
Mr. Allen was the best teacher I've ever had! Very nice AND smart. Excellent teaching skills. Sad to leave his class.
Nice and funny
very nice guy and understanding will work with and help you succeed
Excellent Teacher, makes learning math very easy. Before taking his class I did not like math at all but, now I feel confident with everything he has taught us. Great class
I really enjoyed this class this time. I really learned alot. He is so good and know what he is teaching and know how to explain it to you. Really like this teacher.
Awesome, patience, and funny !!!
Mr. Allen is the best math teacher ever, hands down. He takes the time to be very detailed in his teachings so that students understand. He keeps classes interested and entertained. I use to dread algebra but after taking Mr. Allens class I enjoyed coming to class and never wanted to miss a day. Mr. Allen is the best. He is 1 in a million.
GREAT teacher, HIGHLY recommend!!!!!
Awesome Teacher
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR ALLEN...DIDN'T THINK I WOULD EVER PASS MATH TILL I TOOK THIS CLASS WITH HIM...THANK SO MUCH FOR BUILDING MY CONFIDENCE IN MATH
He is an amazing teacher, and he explains everything step by step! He also answers any type of wuestion you may have, he is great!
He is very good teacher.If you need a help, he always ready to help you to understand the material. Just one little things which makes me not really happy, it was no time to review for the test before the real test.But overall everything is good.
Mr.Allen, very nice and helpful teacher. He will always help you if you have any questions. Just one little things makes me not happy, it is not time to review a test together with the teacher before the original test.But the rest of everything good.
Do not get Mr. Allen for Statistics. He may be a great Algebra teacher, but I had him for Statistics this quarter and he was horrible. It was obvious that it was only his second time teaching that class. I always felt lostand he always semed to be rambling, and when test time came around we never had a review. Get another teacher for Statistics.
Great teacher
Found Mr. Allen to be both humble and enthusiastic about helping students to visualize algebraic concepts. Math monkeys may calculate drudgery in other classrooms, but in his class the jokes keep coming and we ride the math gravy train into seeing the bigger picture. His time is highly sought after in the tutoring lab as well.
Mr. Allen is a great teacher. At first, I did not enjoy his classs b/c I did not like math and overall, I though Mr. Allen was kinda boring and bland. But after getting a 98 on my first test, I started enjoying his class more. If you don't understand something, he'll go through it step by step UNTIL you understand. And his reviews match the test.
Mr. Allen is one of the best teachers I've ever had, not only the best math teacher. He is so helpful and his class is extremely fun to attend. I know a couple of people who read his reviews online and signed up for his classes, they are the ones that told me about this site.
Really good teacher cares about students, class is work do
Mr Allen is a great teacher.I would recommend him to anyone. I haven't had math in years, and he helped to me get the swing of things.
Mr. Allen is the best teacher I have ever had. I have been out of the classroom since 8 years ago. I was 1 point more than the cut-off on the compass math, I knew I was not ready, Getting to Mr. Allen class, the first day of class was scary, his step be step teaching was teaching was superb, i made "A". he opened my brain and drop all Real numbers.
Great teacher.
Professor Allen is the best teacher to take for College Algebra. He explains everything clearly, and does not hesitate to answer any questions his students may have. I recommend Mr. Allen to anyone taking College Algebra!
THE BEST teacher!! LOVE him! College Algebra is not easy - you have to work for your grade - but Mr. Allen is so thorough and fair - and fun! He has the absolute highest recommendation I can give him!
Best teacher ever. Algebra is not easy for me but I came out of that class with an "A" and that is a miracle! He is an awesome teacher with a disarming character and great wit to boot! If you are looking for success in Algebra, look no further - he is the instuctor for you!
I am not gifted in math - at all! However, I took MAT 191 with Mr. Allen my first quarter and passed it because he's such a dedicated, open, communicative, and supportive instructor. He is the only reason I took Intro to Stats before going to a four year school. He's awesome!
He explains things very well in class. I don't want to say it's an easy A because it does take work. But an A is VERY doable. Highly recommend.
Excellent teacher. He is highly effective in presenting the material in an easy to understand way. There is lots and lots of homework which is helpful because repetition is the key to math. I would recommend him to anyone
Wow how can I put it into words. Mr. Allen is the best Algebra teacher that I have ever had. He made Algebra fun learning. He is clear and goes slow with his teaching. Makes learning fun with his great personality. Loves to laugh. He is the best. Made an "A"
Mr. Allen has an enormous amount of patienc. No question is "stupid" in his class. His lecture encourages you to learn and focus on what is being taught. In the beginning before attending his class, I was afraid that I would not do well, guess what? I made an A. If you want to learn basic math formulas, take Mr. Allen, he is a great teacher!
Mr. Allen is the best! Funny, and has such a passion for math is really shows in his teaching! He was at times almost two slow but overall just a great teacher. If you are a visual learner he's the one for you! I almost started to like math!!!
Amazing teacher! He really takes the time to explain the problems to you in class and if your still having trouble he meets up with you after class. He makes math interesting and fun.
Mr. Allen was the best math teacher I have ever had! Very patient, and willing to help you understand. His personality made me look forward to the class. Come to almost all of the classes, and you will get an A no doubt. I highly recommend him.
Excellent Teacher!!! very patient with students and knowledgeable about the subject.
Mr. Allen is the best! Afraid about how I would do in the class, got an A. Mr. Allen teaches the material in a way that makes sense. Mr. Allen is the professor to take for math.
Mr Allen is one the best. He speaks slowly,he makes math easy.I respect him because he's funny and patient. he takes time for his students,listens to them, he even gives you extra time to answers all the questions they might have. 100% recommend him to everybody.
Mr. Allen is really passionate about his teaching. He doesn't like to rush in any sections/chapters. He likes to finish everything and make sure everyone in the class understands. He is easy to approach and responds to emails promptly unlike many other teachers at GTC. Take him :) He'll tell you ways to save money for books too!
He is an AMAZINGGGGGG!I love the way he teaches. He actually cares about his students and takes the time to listen to him. I would def. recomend him to everyone!!
Mr. Allen is awesome!!!! He teaches great! He was so helpful and was quick to post grades! He made math fun! He has a great sense of humor also! Would love to have him for all of my Math classes!
He is a very fair teacher and if you follow along with his notes you will do fine. He gives plenty of room for you to redeem yourself if you mess up at the beginning of class. I was juggling this with A&P and this wasn't the focus of my attention. I am glad I took the class with him and would highly recommend him as a teacher.
He is such a great instructor! Math is not my strong suit, but Mr. Allen made it much easier to understand why we were doing certain calculations. This, in turn, made the material easier to understand. He cares about the success of every one of his students. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Allen!
Mr. Allen's Math 099 class was a good one. He breaks Algebra down where students can understand it. We were a bit rushed, but only because I took it Summer Semester. I would recommend him.
Mr. Allen is an awesome math teacher. He truly wants all of his students to do well. He makes time for all students; moreover, he is extremely approachable and have an enormous amount of patience. He may not give out multiple choice tests, but he does give you the information (i.e, formulas & procedures) in a manner that is easily understood.
Mr. Allen is an AWESOME teacher! He is very helpful and goes the extra mile to make sure his students understands what he is teaching. He is very approachable where you want feel intimidating going to him to ask a question. He gives study guides with each test and if you study them you will do great on your test. Mr. Allen ROCKS!!!!!!
Lots of reasons to take his class. He's a unbelievable math instructor. I took him this past summer. We covered a lot of material in a short amount of time, but he has managed to streamline the material and still teach the subject in a way you "will understand" it. Hard work yes, but if you do the work, you can learn the subject. Hghly rcmmnd!
Definately take Mr. Allen's class! He is a fantastic professor and is passionate about math. He makes this class easy and wants every student to do well. He is very fair, offers extra credit and he keeps it interesting. No book, he provides all material. I can not say enough good things....EXCELLENT TEACHER!
One of GTC's best instructor! If you are not good at math take him, do your work, show up and you'll make at least a B. He goes at a steady pace to it's easy to follow along. He's AWESOME :D
I took Math1127, Statistics, with Mr. Allen. He is great! He makes it understandable, and is pretty funny! Homework is online, and you can redo it until you get a good grade. He gives notes and testreviews online that you can print off,up to you to print them. The tests are open notes and open book, even though I never used my book.
I'm not a big fan of math and was worried of doing bad in this class.But having taken this class with Professor Allen has completely turned around my enthusiasm for this class. It's practically enjoyable to have this class with an actual good teacher and not one who makes life a living hell. He's a good and lively teacher. Two thumbs up.
This instructor is superior to any math instructor I've ever had. He's clear and concise, and actually takes the time to fully explain all the concepts. Statistics is not an easy subject and isn't the most interesting either, but Prof. Allen has enthusiasm and explains the material well. Never used the book, he provides lecture notes, recommend.
Prof Allen is fantastic. Statistics is a tough class, but he made it make sense!!! Class notes and examples are great. Make it to class, do homework and test reviews and you will succeed in this class. Get him if you can. I had him for algebra too!!! GREAT GREAT GREAT I appreciate his light heartedness and kindness.
He's the best Instructor I've ever had. Take him if you can. He makes math so easy and clear. This is my first semester in college and I'm so happy I made the best decision taking this Instructor. Easy A, if you study the test reviews at least twice before test(My secret for making an A). Can't wait to have him for Statistics.
Professor Allen is a great teacher. Algebra is a hard subject for some of us. I am a older student, he taught it in a way I could understand. He has a great sense of humor, is very fair and cares about his students. I was really surprised that I was able to learn this subject and pass the class.
great teacher!! clarity, and helpful
Professor Gregory Allen is extremely helpful, he will go an extra length to see you succeed in his class. He's nice and cares about his students. I had him for college algebra too. Take him if you can. (Study the test reviews, class notes, and feel free to ask questions if you need clarification.) You will be happy you did.
Best of the best teachers. Extremely ready to help if you are willing. He's like a father and/or brother. U only fail if u are meant to fail no matter what.
Taking him now and he is AWESOME!! Math has always been my worst subject, but Professor Allen gives you all the tools you need to make an A in his class. He is super funny and has a way of explaining things make make it SOO easy to understand. I wish all my teachers could be like him. TAKE HIS CLASS!! He is a teacher that actually teaches :o)
Allen is a great professor. He makes this class easy. I love to take his class and strongly recommend him.
Mr. Allen is a fantastic professor. He makes this class easy, and I love to study in his class. I recommend him.
Professor Allen teaching style show the student how to work out the math problems which was good.
He gives u test review..Do not depend on his test review cos its not helpful.His mode of testing is difficult.He is a good teacher when it's comes to explaining.
Excellent teacher. Pay attention in class. Ask questions. Does give test reviews. Helpful for extra practice. Wants his students to pass. I highly recommend him.
He provides all notes on my math lab for you to print out and write down the blanks in class, and a completed version if miss something in class or can't be in class for some odd reason. provides study guides for all test. Provides final exam review for his algebra class. Textbook not mandatory also mymathlab has etextbook.
Number one 20 to 21 question on the test, but it all hand written out and "word problem on test"! Number two everything you learn will be from the homework and a bit from the review, but mostly on the review. Take this teacher as a last resort or withdrawing from his class or go online class! Don't take him for Precalculus it be very hard.
The best math teacher ever. Awesome lectures, good grading and very helpful and clear.
HE IS LITERALLY THE BEST MATH PROFESSOR IVE EVER HAD! No one explains math as clear as him, and math is like my worst subject. You won't regret taking this class, I walked out with an amazing grade and the math sticks.
Go to class and pay attention and you will pass. He explains even the most difficult concept in layman-speak so everyone, even Bobby Boucher, can understand it. I highly recommend him for all your math classes if he's available. And people, please sign up for Calc II if you need it for your degree or you need it as a transfer course.
Mr. Gregory Allen made math 1111 fun and easy. I cannot believe I just said that, but it's true. He is very thorough in his explanation and doesn't make you feel incompetent for not knowing something. He's a fast grader, funny, and the best math teacher I've had. If you do your homework and come to class every day, there's no reason for you to fail
Professor Allen is a fantastic teacher who is very clear and explains concepts very thoroughly. He answers all questions fully and makes sure every one knows what is going on before he moves forward. Also very funny. Taking again next semester!
Really nice guy and a good teacher, as long as you do the work on mymathlab you will do fine.
I was lucky to be one of his students, he is so nice and has wonderful way to explain math materials
The best. The lectures were clear and interesting. There was not much homework. The tests had the same material that was covered in the lecture. He is always ready to answer your questions after the lecture. Good for ESL students.

Mr. Allen is truly a great teacher. As long as you are willing to do the work and study a little bit you are sure to succeed. He takes his time with every student to insure that they understand the material. He is my first choice for any math class I may need.
Absolutely one of the best professors I have had. He cared a lot about his students, gave very specific feedback on tests and homework, and gives students many resources to use to prepare and study.
Mr. Allen is hands down the BEST math teacher at GTC. He knows the material like the back of his hand, and he can answer any questions you may have. He is also extremely funny, and he cares for his students. I would highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Mr. Allen to anybody who is good at, or even struggles with math. Great teacher.
I finished my Statistics course with Mr. Allen and finished with a 100 in the class! He is the best math teacher I have ever had! He grades fast, provides study guides for every test and final, AND sometimes give extra credit! Lecture part of class was fun and informative and the homework was not hard! Come to class, do your homework and study!DONE
Mr. Allen is a great lecturer and he makes himself readily available for students to meet with him and get extra practice
Amazing teacher in every way
Professor Allen is an awesome math teacher. As someone who has struggled with math in the past I appreciate his teaching style, and concern with how his student are doing. He is very thorough in his lectures which results in him going over the designated end time, but that's the worst thing about him. He gives fun bonuses on his tests though!
Dr. Allen is by far the best professor i've had in any subject thus far in my schooling. He is very patient and is willing to give extra help outside of class with videos, study groups, ect. If you are ever confused he will always use different teaching techniques to help you understand it better. He also is very good about giving partial credit :)
I was unsure if I would pass this class, in fact, I attempted this class with another professor for which I had to drop due to the possibility of failing. Due the instruction from Professor Allen, I was able to pass with a "B".
He is truly one of the best teachers I have ever had in my life. He is knowledgeable, funny, gives us multiple resources to do well, quick to grade, patient, gets back to you almost immediately if you have any questions (even if it is a HW question at 11pm), etc. I cannot say enough good things about him. He is everything you want in a professor.
He's a great teacher. He explains things well so you can understand it. I would recommend him to anyone.
OMG he was the best math teacher I've ever had. Wish I couldve took him for college algebra. He actually covers everything that will be on the test and he gives you enough time to study or ask questions. I am thinking about retaking my MATH 1111 class with him to get a better grade.
The most PATIENT and CARING professor I've ever had! lemme tell you guys, I never considered myself a math person, but this college algebra course was a breeze thanks to Mr. Allen. He takes time to listen to your question and answer it in a way that doesn't make you feel stupid. You can reach him anytime. Recommend to everyone!!!
I always had difficulty learning math finally, with Mr Allen's help, I do not hate math anymore.
Mr. Allen is a very smart and intelligent lecture. He gives very good lectures
Took Mr. Allen for Precalc after having to drop due to a terrible professor in the spring. Mr. Allen cleared up all of my confusions and left me very knowledgeable about this subject. I am going to take calc next semester with him and I look forward to it
Lectures are explained in detailed, makes sure you understand the content before he moves on. Adds humor into class to make Math more bearable. Awesome professor!!!
Mr Allen, is an amazing teacher. I understood what was been thought. Makes time to see students outside of class. Listens, then answers questions without making us feel silly. Very respectable. Thanks for being you.
He is a awesome teacher and caring about who I am a deaf student. I have to be patient hate this math class until I realized that I passed this class. Im so happy about this. If you dont understand then ask him for explaining to clear be prepared for test and recommend to go to math tutor instead waste your time and not understand this problem.
BEST TEACHER EVER! It is a privilege to even be in mr allens class. he takes time to make sure everyone understands and will make time outside of class for help. He is a very fair grader and gives partial credit. Every test has a bonus so it is easy to keep a high grade. Amazing lectures & relates them to real life situations. TAKE HIM!!!!!
Really enjoyed taking Mr. Allen's stats class. His extra credit questions on the tests are awesome and a good way to bump up that grade. He makes everything clear to understand. Any questions you have is explained in detail. Good with the lectures. and his jokes don't hurt either. Good fun. Definitely recommend.
He is the best! I love Mr. Allen. He made college algebra easy! Tests were easy and he gives extra credit. I took this class in the summer and it was totally doable. In fact, I reccommend taking in summer! 2 of our tests were online, which was nice! And b/c of summer, 1 test was dropped compared to spring/fall semesters! TAKE HIM! Wont regret it!
Math is my weakest subject and he made it so relate-able and i was able to keep up with the rest of the class... Awesome Prof If you have to take Math1111 take it with him.
Great teacher! Best math instructor Ive ever has regardless of subject
Best teacher for Algebra and Statistics EVER. Cares about students, gives extra credit on tests. Is available to meet you with any questions you might have. Explains concepts till you get them.
Prof Allen is the best calc teacher. Super funny, makes sure you understand the material, lectures are fun and informative. 10/10
A truly amazing teacher, funny and so smart. He really cared and was available for help.
Mr. Allen wants the students to do well, gives many opportunities to get help if struggling with concepts. He is very clear in his teaching methods and gives real world problems so students understand the importance of taking College Algebra.
Mr. Allen is one of the best professors I've ever had in maths. Great class! If you want to learn enroll in his class. You won't regret it, he worth it! Gives extra credit in every test. His personality is awesome! He always is smiling. If you don't understand something he can help you. BTW, he also make a review day for the final exam. Best Prof.
He is the best Math teacher I have ever had. - He was always on time! - His explanation is very clear and easy to understand. - He gives you sort of quiz for extra point each test. - He response very fast on "Remind App" - He gives your grade back pretty fast. **taking MATH 1111 during summer semester was absolutely doable.
The class is fun if you participate
Wasn't very helpful when asking for help understanding the material. He does not give any extra credit as the class is based on "Performance, not effect" so don't expect any extra credit except on tests where there are non-math related questions you won't know without prior knowledge. Very picky grader on tests too.
Mr. Allen is the best professor i have ever taken. He really loves teaching and you can tell. He is always there to answer questions and any problems. Attendance is not mandatory but if you miss class you will be lost. His lectures are funny, and he writes good notes on the board. I am sad the semester is over because i looked forward to his class.
Best Prof ever. Mr. Allen is the best. I already took two classes with him and both have been great. Im already prepared to take Calculus I with him and succeed like always. He is helpful and caring. If you have the opportunity to take him don't think it twice. Its such an honor to have a mentor like Mr. Allen. Extra credit in tests and reviews.
Best professor ever. If you pay attention in his class and if you do homework regularly you will pass with very good grade.
Mr. Allen gives you all the tools to pass this class with an A+. He gives extra credit, lecture notes are amazing and he himself is a caring teacher. Wish I could've pay more attention in his class so i could have got an A, but still he did an amazing job. Thank you Mr. Allen!
He is a great professor. He explains his lectures in great detail and takes his time to ensure that his students understand the material. He does teach at a slower pace so just keep that in mind. But overall he makes it easy to pass the class.
Took him for online stats, and he was AWESOME. He responded to emails within minutes, never rushed any online class sessions. His lecture videos to complete assignments were also very clear. He is also funny and overall a nice guy. You shouldn't fail his class with all resources available to you. His online class is just as if you were in class!
Its not often you get a professor thats clearly passionate about their subject and he definitely is! I took this class online and everything was provided for us to succeed. He was very accessible and explained everything well. If you want to learn and pass, this is the professor for you.
Oh my gosh, he is sooooo funny, which is much needed in a math class. I have never been good at math but after having him teach and helo me along the way it was not terrible. he is a great teacher!!
Genuinely the best math class I've ever taken. Fast responses and always willing to help where you don't understand. Highly recommend :)
She is an amazing professor. We had two hw assignments a week and a test every month.
Professor Allen is amazing. I am completely awful at math but still managed to fly through his course. He made everything very understandable even though it was an online course. He is funny and helps you understand all the material. I'd FOR sure take him again. Thanks Prof Allen!
Mr. Allen is great. I struggle with math and his lectures were clear and easy to understand. He was very helpful. He offered appointment meetings and provided many resources if you needed extra help. I am taking him again for my MATH1127 class as well. Highly recommend.
His videos where very informative and he definitely wants you to pass! Show up do your work and do your best. He has plenty of material set up to help you be successful. The fact of the matter is math is hard for some people regardless of what is done. However, if your going to take it , do it with him. He has a great sense of humor.
He's the best professor at this college trust me. He responds quickly unlike other professors at this school and he spends a lot of time tutoring his student outside of the lecturing time. He cares about his job and his students. He inspires me and gives me hope about this world. he's generous about grading too if you just follow the instructions.
Dr. Allen was by far the best math professor I have ever had. He videoed the lecture notes which was so helpful for me since I'm not good at math I could stop and replay the video as many times as needed. He was the only one who could make math easy for me to understand. please if you can take him do!
Prof. Allen is the BEST Math instructor I've ever had in my Life. If u have to take any Math class. take his class. u wont regret it.
Cared about the students and was very knowledgeable about the subject he taught. He shared stories about his experiences in the industry to help make concepts more relatable and understandable. By far the best math professor I've had.
He was an amazing professor! He really cares about students and helping them understand the class. His tests are open ended but he only puts super simple and basic questions on the test and allows you to bring in a notecard. He also prepares you very well for the tests.
Amazing Professor he gives really good lectures. He is also an easy grader each test has 21 questions.
I chose not to take this class online because I suck at math. I didn't even need to go to class. Mr. Allen posts his lectures online, so I just watched&learned from those. I didn't go to class ONCE, except for tests. His lectures were clear&easy to understand. I got a 90 in the class, but I bet if I actually attended my grade would be even higher.
INCREDIBLE professor, calculus II may be one of the harder math classes you'll take but he makes it bearable and offers lots of help. He can definitely go fast some lectures but you can ask him to slow down or explain things and he happily will. Really funny and cares about the students and I wouldn't want any other professor in a class this hard.
This class is easy as long as you show up and follow along. He has lecture videos of each lesson and that helped a lot for studying or going over lessons you don't understand too well. He's kind of funny sometimes and very punctual about the time of when class ends. Would 100% take this professors class again.
The best math instructor I have ever met
I had Mr. Allen Fall of 2023. He is a very positive professor; he gives energetic and well-explained lectures so the topics are easy to understand. The homework and tests were not difficult. The tests also had fun extra credit opportunities! I'd say I spent less than 6 hours a week on this course and ended with 100%. I recommend! :)
He's actually an amazing professor. I took him for both college algebra and Calculus I... and I am NOT good at math. It's actually quite impressive how good of a teacher he is.
I was hesitant to take Math over the summer because it's such a short time frame but I am glad I did with Mr. Allen! He's hands down the best math teacher I've encountered. Very helpful and thorough. He gives you a lot of resources to pass and extra credit.
great personality gives extra credit on the test they aren't easy but it's available. test seemed hard he is not lenient on giving points back. lectures can be confusing because he wanders off on subject he is willing to answer any question you have if confused on something . responds to emails reasonably / grades test in timely matter
Offered little to no help. Don't recommend especially for dual enrollment students.
The most down to earth person I think I have ever met. Math is a hard subject for me, but Mr. Allen made it very easy to ask questions. He is very approachable and kind he never answers questions like you're dumb. Don't except to get our early because he takes it slow and takes the entire class time to go over things. Tests where okay
The words "here's the textbook way of doing it..and here's the easy way to do it" are said a lot in this class. He obviously knows what he's doing cause he makes his own formulas for long confusing problems. NO multiple choice tests, final exam is only over stuff after midterm, final and midterm 15% each, extra credit, two tests every month
The greatest Professor ever!!!!!!!!!! if you have to take math make sure you take professor Allen. I have no word to explain about him, his beyond great.
Professor Allen's lectures are engaging and easy to follow. The class workload is manageable, and Unstuck ai proved helpful for test prep. Attendance is mandatory, but skipping isn't an issue if you watch the recorded lectures. Overall, a solid math course option.
Great prof! Passionate about what he does and willing to explain to students multiples times until the student understands. Doesn't make the student feel dumb for asking obvious questions. Cannot go wrong with him.
Broke everything down and made things very easy to understand.The way he teaches this class makes it a very easy A.He's one of the kindest instructors I've ever had.I've had some bad professors that didn't teach at all or let TAs do all the work and this guy is NOT one of those people.He's very responsive and takes time to answer any questions.
Mr. Allen is the best teacher I've had at GTC. Knows the content very well. I'm taking him for Calculus 1 and I've already registered to have him again for Calculus 2. Can't wait!!
I took this in summer semester so it was test back to back, and originally I didn't know what I was going to get my self into and I was really worried but his teaching style + the amount of resources he gives it made it so much less stressful than it was probably supposed to be, Im trying to take him for my calculus class next semester, cant wait!
Lectures are 5% of your grade and he lets you use notes & textbooks on quizzes. He was pretty amicable and always answered emails within a day or so. He doesn't go off textbook often and is pretty lecture heavy but leaves notes, gives good feedback, has clear due dates & takes a week to grade a test(most other assignments are automatically graded)
He's one of the best instructors I've had. He's very patient and offers tutoring sessions to his students. He cares about all of his students and wants the best for them. If you show that you're willing to put in the effort to succeed in his class, he'll work with you. Overall, he's a very patient and excellent professor.
Professor Allen truly is the best math professor I've had in my entire life. I always thought I was bad at math until I took this class with him. He teaches so well and does an amazing job explaining things. Exams are pretty similar to the homework and test reviews, so as long as you put the time in to practice, this class could be an easy A.
I made an A in math the first time in my life because of this instructor. I'm very thankful for him!! You are provided with many resources BUT if you can be present for every class, it will be more beneficial. Some things are not mentioned in the videos. So, GO TO SCHOOL. That is all.
