Dr. Allred isn't as bad as the people on here make him seem. He has only been teaching here for one semester so of course he isn't going to be the best at lecturing. Nevertheless, he is obviously very intelligent (a Princeton grad), & he really cares about his students which is honestly much better than several of than the other CH101 professors.

I honestly have no idea why Dr. Allred has received such poor reviews. Homework is minimal, lectures are detailed, and the tests are fair. If you are willing to put forth the effort, I strongly recommend his class.

Dr. Allred was a very good teacher. He has a very laid-back attitude which helped me to feel more confident in his class. His notes are horrible. Reading is mandatory if you want to get an A on his tests. I never looked at his notes when I was studying for exams. I always used the book and never got below an A- on any of his tests.

Dr. Allred is the best chem 101 professor you could hope for. He knows Chemistry really well and unlike many professors (especially in the Chemistry field) genuinely cares about his students success. He will go above and beyond to make sure you understand the material and is very approachable/easy to talk to.

His class was not that hard. As long as you read the book, you will be fine. He is always willing to help you if you do not understand the material.

I had Allred for 101 and am choosing to take him again for 102 because even though he may be a bit disorganized, he does know what he's talking about. He is willing to help and explain things so you understand fully. His tests are easy if you pay attention in class and do the homework. Overall he's a better prof than others for basic chem.

Allred is a solid chem professor. Hes always willing to stop the class and help you understand the material. He does have a tendency though to dismiss questions that are out of the span of the class saying youll do that in upper level classes and things like that.

Clearly portrays material and cares about students. Tests arent too bad but the homework is really hard.

Dr. Allred was a very great teacher. He truly cared about students and asked for feedback. He would explain things very clearly, but he also made it clear that everything in the book is fair game for tests. There were no surprises, and the homework prepared you very well.

Allred is a super nice guy who wants all of his students to do well. However, his lectures can be long, boring, and don't always cover all that is on his tests. I read the book and have found it to be super helpful. That, combined with some previous chemistry knowledge and a lot of effort should get you through this course with a good grade.

Dr. Allred is a great teacher for beginning chemistry students. His lectures tend to feel slow for chemistry majors and people with a lot of prior knowledge going in, but they are effectively paced for those that are not in this group. Be sure to read the textbook before class, and bring questions! He is happy to answer all questions respectfully!

A real gem. He's a true chemistry nerd in the best way possible. In lectures, you get the sense that he genuinely loves the material, which makes it easy to learn from him. He's extremely caring. If you're confused, his office hours are very helpful. The homework is much harder than the tests, so if you can do it, you're probably in good shape.

Allred is a good guy, and a solid chemistry professor. Lectures aren't outstanding, but they will prepare you for the exams. The exams, thereof, are completely fair and representative of the lecture material. Come to lectures, complete your homework, study enough, and everything should be fine. Note that the CH117 lab is a bit ridiculous at times.

Dr. Allred is an amazing professor. You can tell he really loves what he's teaching and wants his students to do well. Sometimes, he can have a hard time explaining things on a student's level, but he's fantastic the rest of the time. Make sure you get to know him and go to recitation for this class because it can make all the difference

Dr. Allred is the sweetest guy you'll ever meet and gets so excited about chemistry. His lectures can be a little hard to follow at times but go to office hours and he really wants to help you. My advice is to get to know him and he will help you succeed! Tests were very fair based on the textbook, lectures, and homework. 11/10 guy

Dr. Allred's love for chemistry and his students shows when he teaches. He genially wants you to succeed and provides practice tests and HW if you want to make use. His note taking is sometimes hard to follow, but he is always willing to go back, explain again, and provide more examples. He is understanding and often accommodates for his students.

Chemistry is a super hard subject for me and I know others can relate as well, but I loved Dr. Allred's class and his teaching style. He is a bit nerdy, but he writes out his notes in class with you and goes through MANY example problems. We always had homeworks and optional practice exams posted before the tests, so I always knew what to expect.

Professor Allred is amazing chemistry professor. He is extremely helpful and understanding when helping students and tries to communicate everything in the best way he can. He's extremely considerate and can be an absolute live-saver. Also has recitations for extra help. Nothing is mandatory but highly recommend you attend as the course is hard.

Attendance isn't exactly mandatory because he doesn't check but he doesn't post notes/lectures so if you don't go, you will basically never actually get the material. He is willing to answer questions and his tests actually aren't nearly as difficult as other chem teachers

Dr. Allred is a pretty funny guy. He comes to class and is ready to laugh and have a good time. I honestly hardly ever ended up going to class after the first month or so and still finished the course with an A. Just be sure to do the homework and PLEASE READ THE MATERIAL. If you read and understand the stuff you'll ace the tests.

Professor Allred was great! He is very passionate about chemistry and you can definitely tell just by sitting in his lectures. During lecture he takes notes so be sure to attend class because thats where majority of the notes come from. He can get side tracked very easily in class but he is very good at providing feedback if you have questions.

He answers any and all questions during and after lecture and will make office hours to fit his students needs. Just be vocal with what you understand as a class and the test will reflect that. He will never try to trick you.

Professor Allred is great! All you have to do for this class is read the textbooks and do the practice problems in them. He has quizzes due sometimes randomly, but if you just make sure to check, you really don't need to go to class that much. His tests were very straight forward, which is rare for chemistry.

this is my second time taking dr allred and he is honestly a good prof. attendance isnt mandatory but if you don't go, you're not going to get any notes bc he doesnt post lectures at all. he shows his sense of humor sometimes so i consider him pretty easygoing and he really really does care whether hes getting his teachings across to his students.

Dr. Allred is a caring professor who wants his students to do well. His lectures are a bit unorganized, so I'd recommend reading the textbook as well. His exams aren't too tough and he usually gives some points back. I had Dr. Vincent for CH-101 and Dr. Allred is 100x better. He makes great use of recitation and is happy to answer questions.

loved the class

Super boring to sit in lectures and his handwriting is not great. He does not post any material outside of class, so lecture attendance is pretty much the only way to learn. Gives extra credit back on test (gave me 13% back on one) which is awesome. Overall not too bad, but you definitely have to put the work in.

I ♡ Dr. Allred! So nice and patient with students. He provides everything you need to succeed - practice tests that are similar to exams, short quizzes that pad your grade, and half-points on exams. His lectures can be confusing, but if you read before class you can keep up. Im saying all this at someone who sucks at chem so I mean it all!!

If you don't get at least a B, it's your fault, not Dr. Allred's. He's so caring, and gives back credit to his students all the time. He makes it clear that reading the textbook is required - of course it is, this is chemistry not linear algebra. He even has a reading schedule so you can show up to lectures prepared and follow along. Very nice guy

Professor Allred is a great professor, you can really tell that he cares about his students. He gives partial credit on tests and provides practice exams that are structured the same as the actual test. As long as you attend most lectures, do homework, and do the practice exams, you will do well, from someone who barely passed chem in high school.
