He is the best! He is always willing to help you out and he makes class really fun. He relates the materials to life.
I always had problems for understanding Math, but he gives very clear examples and also he is willing to teach. Tim is not only a good professor but a great human being. Take his course.
Teaches to all learning styles. Goes slow enough for understandment level, but fast enough to cover material
Tim is a great guy who can relate things back to his students,I met him in 097 and liked his teaching methods so much, I took him for Math 119 since his teaching style was so easy to understand I'd recommend him any day.
Good prof
he is an excellent math teacher. im sticking with for as long as i can.
great teacher, explains math in way you understand, I am currently enrolled in another math class he teaches, Great Job!
If I asked a question, Tim would help me until he was sure that I understood, even during class time. He is the best instructor I had at Delta so far.
He is a great teacher...it is the subject that stinks so much! No matter how much you hate math though, he can get you through it. Highly recommended, and you will always get out at least a little bit early! :)
Got hit by a car and came to class in bandages. You just can't keep a good man down. He is serious about math, but still has a sense of humor. Artistic level is on par with most teachers at Delta. Usually has to tell you what he just drew on the board.
Mr. Allen was a GREAT teacher. The class was fun and interesting, and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. That might mean that we learned less than we should have, but it was mostly because of how well Mr. Allen taught. He made it easy to get a good grade.
Great instructor!
Great Teacher...
Math 119 is a hard class. If you take it with Mr. Allen though you'll be sure to understand it. I've never been good when it comes to math... but Mr. Allen worked with the class until everyone understood the concepts. Wonderful teacher! Always encourages everyone to do the best that they can.
Mr. Allen is not only a great teacher, but a great guy to be around. It is amazing how much he knows about MATH, but also everything else. I learned so much in his class. When the semester began, I was not excited. Now that it is over, I miss my class. GREAT TEACHER!
Wow.....still remember the course I had, also Statistics. Wonderful teacher, and very helpful! :)
He was a great teacher very helpful. Made things seem easy.
eas and funny
He was a great teacher always willing to help, and brought humor to the classroom!!!
First half of the semester was rather rigorous but assignments to hand in were interesting. Third test was a take home. Final was basically the review test with some minor changes. He doesn't try to bust your chops showing you how much he knows. Assignments are especially representative of test questions. Highly recommended over Redmond.
Good Teacher
He has an amazing style of teaching. I am not a big fan of math, but havi him really helped me understand it. If you have questions he explains very clearly and makes sure you understand it.
Mr. A is very patient and very helpful with refreshing your math skills. Very nice to look at as well!!!
Tim is a good guy and enjoys his job. If you have any questions or problems he explains them very good and clear. He doesnt always collect homework, but his quizzes ARE right from the homework (so do it). I have taken him for math 096,097, and am registered with him for 119 in thw winter...i would reccomend him to everyone! ( i already have)
Great teacher, ecspecially if you don't understand math.
Tim Allen is an excellent math teacher. His methods are the only ones that agree with my right-sided brain sometimes. Definitely recommended.
the dumb compass test put me in this class.... First off the class is a breeze...But Mr. Allen is one of the best teachers ever....very understanding...nice...he wont start anything new until all questions are asked!! Try and get him for all your math classes lol... i am
I guess his teaching just isn't for me. this is suposed to be easy math but he makes it so confusing, its hard to keep up wth him. The way he teaches is very old. easier to teach yourself out of the book.
Mr Allen is a great teacher. He is easy to understand and he takes the time to explain something again if someone in the class doesnt understand it. He is pretty funny to.
Tim is a great guy willing to help anyone that needs it... class i really easy...i wish he taught more higher up classes i unfortuantly do not have him next semester....I would highly recommend him!
He was a good teacher, and was willing to help anyone. You receive a lot of problems for homework but if you show your work you get the full points. You can also retake every test for a better grade, and he gives out sample exams before the tests and goes over all the problems, and the test is pretty much the sample exam. As long as you do your wor
Mr. Allen is an awesome teacher. The homework is not graded but you should do it anyways because he goes over the answers in class and does any problems you do not understand. He is very helpful, and is willing to help you if you need help. This class was a breeze, take him if you want an A and a great teacher!
Mr. Allen is an awesome guy! Cracks jokes all the time and is just trying to make class interesting! The work is really pretty easy, he rarely collects homework, but it's good to do it. he is very helpful and all around a good guy. Easy A.
Mr. Allen is a great teacher. He is very helpful, and makes sure everyone knows the material. Also, you get to re-take every single test for a better grade, and the study guide he gives is pretty much the test except with different problems. Overall, Mr. Allen was a GREAT teacher and I would recommend you take him.
Great he is really helpful and is funny. Don't know where gets stories about math but they are really good. Didn't want to take class but after a week could not wait togo. Do your homework it pays.
tim's class was the first math class I didnt dread going to. As a matter of fact I found myself looking forward to it!
Something about him never had math classlike this. Something aout him find him very hot. kinda like no drama very approachable if you need help. Do homework you do fine.
Super hot I love to go to class like mocha with whip nice and smooth. never any high drama you always know where you stand and if you don't see him. Diffy-Q is now interesting.
I think he worked very hard to help us understand the information. Loved how he worked out the solution for homework a lot of useful handouts too. Good teacher for math students who are good and for those who are not a good.
Hes a pretty boring teacher, but seems to teach in a way that gets the point across. Theres been lots of things i didn't understand in the past, that he explained and now I get! I'd recomend him.
I loved his class...and I freaking hate math. He is direct and to the point but will help you if you dont understand. Not a lot of quizzes or tests either.
So funny and easy to get along with, not just another class to goto and be lectured to - he's involved with the students. He was an excellent teacher - knows his stuff and does a great job explaining things. Not bad to look at either! If you have any questions, he's got no problem talking to you before/after class and explaining. Very helpful!
I am the WORST at Math and have failed this class twice before, but when I took it with Mr. Allen... I actually understood and PASSED the class. I HIGHLY recommend him, honestly. Very nice, helpful, funny, and just all around great teacher! Rarely quizzes, tests aren't overly hard. He's very helpful!
He was great. He teaches things with alot of examples and explains things very well. I would recomend him.
Great Math Teacher!! very helpful!
Tim is a very good teacher, i've had others in the past that weren't so good and didn't care but Tim does care. he takes the time to fully explain what's going on, and even creates acronyms for certain things. most of the class is spent at the board with partners while he checks your work. very thorough. great teacher, I'd recommend him to anyone!
Tim is a very good teacher. He does take the time to help if their are questions. In his math for ele. teachers, he make some simple math errors, but overall a very good teacher. Love to talk to students and I enjoy his stories.
I am the worst at math. Tim made it understandable and gave enough examples so that the homework was easily done. His tests aren't hard if you do the review homework. He likes to interact with students and it helps make the class more enjoyable.
im not a huge fan of statistics, but he made it bearable. he is relaxed and teaches straight to the point, no messing around with stuff we dont need to know. he is very helpful and lets us know exactly what will be on the test. take him if you can!
Wonderful math professor! I have struggled with Algebra but he made it very clear. He will help you understand anything you don't understand. He also allows you to retake tests. He can b very sarcastic but it makes the class a little better. I highly recommend for anybody that is struggling with Algbra!
Best teacher I've ever had! Very clear & easy to understand. Gives you extra help and time if you need it, which you shouldn't! Great guy!
Really great sense of humour. Explains why something is the way it is instead of saying things are the way they are just because. Little HW. Highly recommend this professor!!
I am by far the worst person at math. I never understand it in high school and got failings grades on tests. Tim is the best math prof. I've ever had. For once in my life I understand how to do the math that I used to bang my head on the table over. I got A's on all of my tests and you never had to turn the HW in it was just practice. Great class.
Funny, helpful, knowledgeable, easy to get along with.
Mr. Allen is a great teacher and I am happy I took his class! He is laid back, friendly, and explains math extremely well. No surprises from the study guides to the exams and he was always very helpful anytime I emailed him or stopped to his office hours. Take him if you can!
He is fair and a good guy. He is hot in a sort of intellectual yet down to earth way.
secret to my success, I Took all my exams in the testing center and used ALL my notes. I suck at math and would of failed other wise. Tim is a fun,easy going, and laid back guy doesn't take attendance, no home work.
This guy is hot. I don't know what it is, but he is HOT!!! I think he is the greatest professor I have ever had. I got a B is I was not the perfect student but I loved coming his class. I am one 20 year old girl who is head over heals for this guy!!!
Tim is an excellent teacher! I hated math so much before I took this class! He only teaches you what you need to know! If he goes over it in class that's what's going to be on the test! He is a must take! I'm not a good test taker and I still got a B or better on every exam!
Tim was amazing and totally saved my semester!! I hate math and he made it fun and he was incredibly easy to understand!
He was the best math teacher I have ever had!!! Very funny and helps you understand the material. He does not take attendance and is very flexible with assignments. You can also have a note card for the exams. He breaks the math down in a way that is clear and super easy to understand. I wish I could take him again.
Honestly, the best math teacher I ever had! He explained things so clearly that I understood everything. He lets you have notecards on the tests. He doesn't grade a majority of the homework, but make sure you do it. He let's you ask questions on homework the next day, so take advantage of it. Amazing teacher!
He clearly goes over each section enough to grasp it . His teaching method is clear and to the point. Pay attention!! He doesn't like to reteach things if you are not following along. Take notes! You will need them for homework. Homework is the best way to learn this stuff! He has a good sense of humor and is an all around great professor.
Tim is a great teacher! Stats is a hard class, everything builds off of the previous section. Attendance is not mandatory, you will fall behind if you don't attend. You work for the grade you get, course is based off of 4 exams and a couple homework assignments. Homework for the most part is not mandatory but you won't succeed wo it. Take notes!
Tim was a very funny guy. Gave real world statistics examples during lessons, make the material easier to understand.
Tim Allen is by far the best math instructor I have ever had (high school or college). He goes over numerous examples in each lesson, step-by-step, so you fully grasp the material. He's very willing to help when you're stuck. Yes, there's homework, but it's not that difficult if you pay attention in class. Highly recommended!
He was an OK professor, did a good overall job with teaching the subject material. I just figured that he was on the unprofessional side; the syllabus and HW papers he wrote contained a lot of grammatical errors and typos so beware of that. He does speak clearly and make sure you understand concepts fully. Felt like an easy class.
Greatest prof I've ever had. The material was clear and well done. Always knew where you stood and very clear.
Best prof ever, if anyone thinks differently they've not taken many college courses.
I had MTH 208 in Birch Run . I loved the class and I think he is the greatest. I really really like this man. Great instructor and steaming hot.
Took at in the Early College Program, great course and great instructor. lots of examples and lots of work in class. The homework that was assigned reflected what was covered in class.
This class is by far the worst I've taken. He is very vague, and when I needed help, he refused to provide me any. I didn't have the time to go to a tutoring session, so I didn't get any of the help that I needed.
Tim gives great lectures and makes sure everyone understands the material before moving on with class. He gives you practice test and lets you use a note card for formulas during the exams. He doesn't assign too much homework, just enough to grasp the concepts. Tim is a very funny down to earth guy
Great hand outs and explains the information well. I think he is really hot too. Just saying.
Great instructor. Ive always struggled in math, but Tim explained it in a way that I understood. Definitely take.
Mr. Allen is a great teacher. I always struggled with math but his lectures and explanations really helped me in this class. Take him!
I wish I would have known how great of a teacher Tim is when I started Delta. I would have taken him for other math classes! He truly cares not only about your grade but yourself in general. I'm not the best at math but I'm doing well and understanding everything completely. He's seriously the best.
Tim is the BEST math teacher at Delta. I have him for 119 and am taking him again for Stats. He cares about you, your grade, and will always help you and doesn't make you feel like you are dumb if you don't know something. I truly appreciate him and all he's taught and helped me with.
Fantastic .
Great instructor! I would take for every math class if possible.
Best in the business
Great teacher. He gives a lot of homework but it's for your benefit, doesn't collect it to be graded. He will re-explain things if needed. He stops at each step and asks if any questions. Funny and just a really good teacher.
Math is my worst subject ever. He is one of the only math professors I've ever actually learned and full understood from! He makes sure you understand before moving on. Don't be afraid to ask him questions. I can finally say i actually enjoyed taking a math course.
He gives real life examples for the problems to help you better understand. He likes to make jokes and keep the mood light. Very easy to get along with and he was very helpful.
Professor Allen is by far one of the best professor's I've had at Delta. He simplifies the material to make it much easier to understand. His reviews are almost identical to the exams, and he even goes over all of it the class before. Homework is not mandatory, but you definitely struggle if you blow it off.
The greatest, that is all I can say. This guy is a living embodiment of a knowledgable person in stats. give great examples of how it is used in the real world. I enjoy his stories.
Best math class Ive taken at Delta. Tim is honestly so funny and makes class worth going to. He thoroughly goes through all material, and answers all questions. Exams are accurate to the review, which we go through in class. By far the greatest math professor at Delta.
Allen's the best.
I've always struggled in math. Mr. Allen completely changed that. I went from hating math to enjoying it. He is SO helpful and patient. I took him twice, I cried tears of joy when I got a B+ in the first class, and then an A- in the second! I consistently failed math classes throughout my middle school/ high school career. He knows how to teach!
Best math teacher so far!
He was late frequently. One time he was 20 mins late. He see's the good in people. He will help you a lot when you ask. Great teacher, would take again.
Took Stats at a local university and was barely getting a C while spending countless hours in the tutoring center. With Professor Allens class, I understand the material after every lecture and even when I do have questions, they are quickly answered when I ask for help. I ENJOY statistics now - a subject I once dreaded.
Tim won't answer your emails, doesn't cancel class, and lectures every class period. But I got a great grade in this course and I have never loved or understood math. Tim is an amazing professor that cares about his students and their success. You get a 3x5 notecard for his tests and is a reasonable grader. I would recommend Tim to anyone.
He was the best math teacher I have ever had! Very funny and helps you understand the material. He does not take attendance and is very flexible with assignments. You can also have a note card for the exams. He breaks the math down in a way that is clear and super easy to understand.
Professor Allen was a good teacher of statistics. He answered any questions you have. He does give homework and it helps a lot for exams! His practice exams are amazing! basically the same as the real exam. I learned a lot from him and I was really dreading this class, but he made it go easy. Would recommend him to anyone needing stats.
Does lots of examples to make concepts clear. Schedule is well laid out and he follows it.
This class was incredibly easy for me. I took pre-calc the year before so they may have been why it was so easy. Some people in my class were lost from time to time, but he gave great examples and was super helpful. He's also really chill and reminds me of a surfer dude. Definitely recommend him as a math teacher, he's probably the best Delta has.
Hands down the best math professor you can take at Delta. His notes are very helpful and easy to follow, and he gives out a very helpful study guide before tests as well. Nothing online either, which was great, as math classes can be difficult with the homework online. Very straightforward class, but make sure to show up or you won't succeed.
Professor Allen is awesome, I highly recommend him as a professor. He is very understanding and wants you to good in his class. He also allows you a notecard for the 4 exams in his class.
Tim is a quirky but great professor. He does an awesome job teaching somewhat confusing concepts and is available to answer questions if you have them. He is good at relating the lessons to real life and gives study guides that serve as excellent preparation for his tests.
Professor Allen made learning statistics so much fun! He was able to relate topics to the real world, and his grading was very clear. He also works through problems step by step on the board which is very helpful! The class is lecture heavy, but he makes them fun with personal anecdotes.
Great instructor, the semester was Winter 2020 and he had to go online because of the whole covid show. He made the transition as smooth as possible. Id take him for every class online or in class.
I took him for calc 2 in the spring semester and one thing I noticed is he never made any of his own lecture videos, rather used an online algorithm to teach you. This learning worked for me, but may not work for all.
I love Tim. Unfortunately, because of the circumstances COVID has put us in, the students have to practically teach themselves and are given a LARGE amount of homework which makes it even harder to keep up with trying to understand the material.
My 3rd class with him, two this semester being online due to covid. He is easy to reach and helps with what you need. Has youtube video lectures along with some zoom help sessions. One of my favorites, would take again but don't need any other math courses!
I hate math and in most cases don't understand it, however, everything changed when I took STATS with Tim Allen. He's an excellent teacher, makes sure you actually understand what you are learning, and truly wants you to succeed. He also makes the class fun which is something I never thought I'd say about math. I highly recommend taking him!
I only got to chat with Tim a few times, but he seems like a really nice guy. I was warned that statistics was really confusing, but the online program we used actually made it make sense. Probably the easiest online class I've had since covid started.
Tim was great, I definitely would take him again. I took stats as a prerequisite and was really nervous to take it online but it was so worth it. He used a resource that did most of the teaching and the class was pretty straight forward. It was a lot of work but he has lots of resources and you can always ask for help. He wants you to learn.
Attendance isn't "mandatory" but it's helpful to be in class. He does give random quizzes in the beginning but they're only a few points. Easy points. I'm not at all a math person, but this class was easy. The program he uses for the homework is very helpful. Just manage the homework and do a little every day and you'll be fine! Would recommend!!!
Tim Allen was my favorite math prof. at Delta. He uses real life examples to make stats interesting to learn. Most assignments were through Knewton an online assignment service and the software was easy to use. I would take prof. Allen for every Math class I could!
Easy course!
He was my favorite professor in the fall! So funny, and interactive with the class. The class I took was so easy and usually, I'm not the best at math. He's very helpful and wants his students to pass. If you're taking a math course, I definitely recommend him. He does assign a lot of homework but gives you so much time to complete it.
All of the homework was on Knewton Alta, they were due about every other week. I thought statistics was really easy, but I am good at math. He explains things well enough during class that I didn't need to use the textbook (free) for the homework. There were no exams. We did have online tests at the end of each unit (about 6). I really liked him!
He wasn't very involved overall. When he did post things to the online classroom, it was usually filled with grammatical and spelling errors, kind of irritating for a college professor. This class was not easy and I would not take it again, it felt like a lot of the time no matter how hard I tried I still wasn't doing well.
Professor Allen provided great lectures and challenged us to practice problems on our own. He also liked to joke around with the class, which made it fun. We had about 4-6 graded assignments per module and had about a month to complete. We had a midterm and final that made up most of our grade, but you'll do fine if you pay attention and study.
He is literally the funniest professor I've had. As long as you do what you are supposed to be doing for his class he's pretty understanding when things come up and you have to turn things in late, but he also wants you to get your stuff done. As long as you communicate with him he works with you!
Very laid back, but could be better. He seems very sweet but doesn't talk much due to not having class very often. Tons of homework that really impact your grade. Doesn't answer emails. Very difficult subject, but info doesn't stick because of only having class once a week. Study study study.
Almost 100% homework outside of 3 tests including your final. Expect to completely forget everything taught to you by the time of the final unless your consistently reviewing. Class is very dry but not mandatory and it's hard to pay attention. Great person though.
There were 3 exams and 12ish homework assignments done through Knewton. There is a textbook but you won't need it as Knewton explains everything you do. Tim gives partial credit and is very understanding about homework--he often pushes back deadlines to give us more time. He does not know how to use commas, so his own worksheets (5) get confusing.
Lectures help you understand the material very well. He has amazing guide reviews and is always available to help with homework and any questions regarding the material.
Lectures are very engaging and relate exactly to the tests and homework. He is always available to help with homework and any questions you have, I cannot recommend him enough!
Professor's lectures are engaging and he's always available to help. Lots of homework, but Unstuck study and the free textbook made studying a breeze. Worth taking if you put in the work.
Very respected. Easy to understand lectures. Would take a class with him again.
Tim Allen is a knowledgeable and respected professor. Attendance is not mandatory, however, highly suggested as Allen's lectures are full of info. Allen utilizes online coursework via Knewton Alta. Only "homework" was exam study and Knewton Alta module "quizzes". Easily understandable class as long as you follow along and ask questions when needed.
He doesn't actually teach. He writes 2 q's on the board, then goes to the bathroom for 45 min. I emailed him the same question three times over weeks, and he never answered ?? He belongs in hospice, not in a college. He makes some mean jokes, but mostly he is just lazy. Doesn't even seem to like his job. RETAKE WITH PRETZER (involved + patient)
Great experience, I was really scared when I sign up for stat but he made it understandable. Super nice too.
He was awesome!
He's a pretty cool and chill dude. The class goes smoothly.
