Get ready for hard work and dog pictures.

He's a great prof. Easy access to office hours, cares about students (gave us a week off of work during midterms to focus on other classes). Fun lectures with his dog. Not too difficult, but not an easy A, you'll need to put in the effort if you don't know anything about Linux but not horrible- just need to do some outside research.

Easy enough to pass, hard enough to learn. If you have a lot of IT exprience maybe the course is really easy.

He's not too accessible outside of class as you won't be able to contact him on the weekends. He talks about his dog, Pickle often, however, he is pretty strict about his policies and grading. Don't be afraid to email him about homework though, he is helpful if you have questions but is probably sick of students asking for a change in their grade.

Prof. Allen has been absolutely wonderful. I've taken some awful ITI classes, but Allen's class is one of the best. In our group chat there are a lot of people whining about a bunch of assignments due in a short timeframe, which I see here aswell. This is an accelerated class due to it being the summer, what did you expect? he said it early on too.

He really listens to the needs of his students. While his exams can be tough, he does so that we learn the best way to code, rather than simply using any way to get a code to run. He weighs his exams reasonably so if you are truly trying and happen to not do well, it will not ruin your entire grade. Would recommend!!

He certainly isn't an easy professor, but he's pretty good. His grading criteria is clear, but he gives too many assignments due in few days. His exams can be tough, but it doesn't carry huge weight of grade so you'll have other opportunities to do well in class. However, I don't recommend taking him during summer so take him in fall or spring!

I learned some python, so that's cool. Some of the complaints here and in group chat are hilairous. Sorry prof allen make you comment your code and stick to good coding practices, you know, like a real programmer would. But it is a fast pace class if you do it in summer.

Professor Allen has pretty clear lectures that are straight to the point, and will widen your knowledge on ITI. He was pretty heavy on writing (which I didn't mind) that was graded a little bit hard. But otherwise, he's organized and the quizzes are doable. I feel like he could check Slack a little more often to communicate with students more.

Professor Warren gives understandable lectures and adds a bit of humor to them as well. He is the head of the department of ITI, and a good connection if you are interested in the major. He gives clear instructions and rarely gives out A's on assignments unless the work is exceptional. That being said, it's still possible to do very well.

You need to do weekly readings and a weekly assignment. Every two weeks there is a quiz (4 in total) and a super short writing assignment. It's very easy if you pay little attention to lectures and skim/take basic notes on readings. No exams, just a final project. Professor can be disorganized, but he extends deadlines. No coding at all.

Prof. Allen can be disorganized but he is funny, the class is easy, lectures r straightforward, & despite moving deadlines the assignments are simple (+ the deadlines r always moved BACK). Some issues ppl are describing in the class have to do w the TAs who graded their position statements not the Prof. 1 downside-he does not reply to emails fast.

The class is easy but some of the quiz questions were hard to understand/vague and incompletely worded. When there is an issue Prof tries to resolve it (by dropping quizzes/assignments). However it takes him a long time to respond to his inbox and he rarely checks email

Prof Allen is really great and made this class so enjoyable for me. His grading criteria (especially for position statements) is SO clear, if you just do what he asks, you'll get a good grade. Not too much work or reading, and the quizzes are average. Definitely recommend him. Put in the work and it's an easy B+ or A.

He makes this class hard for no reason. Like the material is super easy to grasp. but his instructions make it so hard.(this is artificially a way by Rutgers to weed people out.) Like a lot of people got a 0 because we didn't use the right article. He is a chill person and great to talk to and get advice. Just be alert and you will be fine.

Anyone that complains do not know how to follow directions. If you follow instructions, you will get an A. If you somehow forget how to read instructions, then you'll get a 0. You should not be getting 0s. Just follow instructions and you pass the class. He is very knowledgeable and is very accessible outside the class for advice on anything.

Professor Allen was a great professor and this was the perfect class to get introduced into the ITI Major. Just the only problem was contacting him took forever so it would just be best if you went to see him before or after lectures

Took Intro to ITI over the summer. Even though the class was asynchronous, I found the structure of the course to be smooth and enjoyable! I really liked Professor Allen's style of teaching & his excitement for the subject really reflects in the way the class operates. Looking forward to taking more classes with Professor Allen in the future!

Professor Allen seems to get a bad rep but he's actually really nice and the class is overall really easy. There are only a few assignments but they're so clear that if u just follow the directions, you'll get a 100.

He actually made me interested in IT, which I thought was not possible. Funny teacher and nice demonstrations. However, his lectures can be pretty disorganized in how some lessons are cancelled suddenly. Content is pretty straightforward and all the tests are online. No final as well. The tests are hard though and limited time to do them.

He is a good professor, def take him! I tried to be very honest about this review, so many ones that are bad are just dishonest or over exaggerated. He does give readings but they are not too bad. You should be interested or willing to put in work, in fact for any class u take.

If u want answers for quizzes, readings, or anything w this course let me know on discord add me and text me: Asia

Allen is a great professor for heading the ITI department and his lectures were pretty interesting. The coursework was pretty light, with only a few small assignments due per week. He wasn't the best at responding to emails or entering grades right away, but I enjoyed the class overall.

I share the sentiment of the prior ratings but must say that he DID listen to feedback and essentially made 2 of our 4 exams easier to perform well on (as well as a slight curve for the 2nd). Everything else is easy to do well on (half asynch, online vids), and overall the course is informative for those who care. Overall on the harder end but good

Work listed in a to-do format (with study tips) in modules, rare to need 2+ hours of attention. A tad "eccentric", making for slightly wordy lectures but it's still usually relevant. Few due dates but they're strict, occasionally bends the rules, just not as much as most would like. Has test review office hours. An average class, not a free class.

As someone who is not planning on being an ITI major and knows next to nothing about computers, the class was very manageable. The LinkedIn learning could sometimes take a long time, but it wasn't that bad. The tests were not as hard as some people thought.

Professor Allen is unconventional with his lectures, but they kept me engaged. Every week a module is posted clearly outlining material, readings, and video lectures in lieu of the cancelled second lecture. The class covers fundamental IT concepts in a very theoretical and abstract way. It's not the easiest class, but it's also not the hardest.

Very enthusiastic professor. He was clear about expectations, and the class was very easy if you did the readings.

Really cool guy, was accessible out of class, and gave interesting lectures on relevant subjects. Topics were interesting but some of the required readings were super long and confusing, usually clarified in lectures though. Definitely more a harsh grader.

Decent prof but hard class. Readings are important but it's not a lot to read, and his exams are hard.

Interesting class but its not really about how to do IT work. Professor is super helpful in office hours and he made the class hybrid this year (he didn't cancel any classes that I am aware of) so a lot of his lecture was an like an online video quiz. I liked it.

Not the best or worst professor ever but yeah his exams are hard specially if you don't do the readings. Super helpful one-on-one and makes meetings with you on zoom if you need help.

Good guy and really accessible out of class even though he's director of the major and is really busy. His lectures are interesting but definitely need to do the readings. If you go to office hours he's super helpful.

Completemnt his dog and you'll get an A.

I've had a positive experience in this class. It's challenging and requires commitment to reading. But if you attend regularly and stay engaged you'll learn a lot.

Liked the final project in Professor Allen's class. He provided great guidance and made it really engaging. Perfect for applying what we've learned. Just make sure you keep up with the readings.

Professor Allen is great if you're into IT. He's pretty strict about attendance and reading, but honestly, it helps keep you on track. Definitely a useful class for IT newbies.

Prof. Allen is honestly one of the best. He's nice but doesn't let you slack off. You've gotta attend and do the readings, but you learn so much. Really prepares you well.

Professor Allen is stict about deadlines and things but fair. You need to keep up with the readings and show up. Super useful if you're starting in IT.

Lectures were interesting but the exams were hard. Do the readings and go to his office hours and he's okay.

Good overall. Try to attend office-hour meetings as much as you can! I was unsure of my major, but with the professor's help, I got to decide my goal. You will get to ask as many questions as well if you attend office hours.

Good overall. Try to attend office-hour meetings as much as you can! I was unsure of my major, but with the professor's help, I got to decide my goal. Make sure to attend lectures. It is truly helpful, especially because it is an in-person lecture. Study with flashcards before the exams! Good luck!

Took his summer class online so I dont know if this applies in the inperson classes. But he's good although pretty strict about deadlines. As others have said his office hours are really helpful especially if you're new to python like me.

took his hybrid course, had captivating lectures but lots of busy work online, exam heavy and really means that all assigned material is fair game

Professor is alright and class is challenging but not like CS tough. Exam is major part of grade so study hard. I'm not into programming so this was a good fit.

His lectures are somewhat hard to follow and his slides have few words. However, he's very organized and lays out all weekly tasks and assignments very clearly on Canvas. Make sure to take good notes on the weekly readings to do well on the cumulative exam. Also, don't stress over the Python labs, as that information was hardly on the exam.

If you go to class and pay attention you will pass this class with flying colors. He does go over a lot of information that will help you with exams during lectures so try to take notes. He is a great professor and is always accessible out of class if you have an issue. If you are new to IT, this is a great class for you!

Professor Warren did a great job teaching us Python codings. However, the exams were hard, and I studied a lot. The course must be really helpful for my ITI major.

Tests - Hard, Lectures - Important, Details - VERY important, Readings - ULTRA important, Studying - DO IT. Homework - eh, some Overall as a guy though? Great, great fun, really fun, get to know him and he's funny! Would recommend, just give it your all, it's integral to your IT career (if you're going for it)

Very inspirational and gives good advice. The class has one cumulative exam, no questions during it. His slides are absolutely useless. The class is structured in such a way that only what he says in lecture, the readings, and the labs matter. You are also graded on participation by a forum, engage a lot for a good grade. Final project is easy. GL!

I really liked Allen and appreciated his teaching style. but, the class moved very fast and the material was challenging, making it hard to pass. Despite the difficulty, I learned a lot and would recommend him to students who are willing to put in the work.

Idk what everyone is talking about in the recent ratings but Dr. Allen is a good professor. He is always available n gives good feedback. The class is lecture heavy but they aren't boring. Dr. Allen make them interesting enough to listen to. The assignments and final project are easy. The exam isn't that hard if you pay attention in lecture.

Exams are hard and you have to write code on paper so you can't just chatgpt your way through the class. Probably too dificult if you just want it as a core class. Skip if youre not doing ITI or CS.

Professor Allen is nice and clearly is a good speaker. He succeeds in making his lectures understandable but they felt hollow and irrelevant to the exams. The exams are difficult and weigh too heavily due to the few assignments in the class. Most things are learned from assignments. It was an enjoyable class but overall the grading is too harsh.

Super cool guy. Love the style of his lectures, he always made them interesting. They weren't too useful for the exams, which are difficult. Lots of readings, lots of labs which are a must do for the exams as they help a lot. I've never coded in my life and this class was more than OK. Easy final project to end it off. I enjoyed this class!

People complaining about having to study hard should not take tech courses. Stick to basketweaving.

Hard exams. Fun final project. Do the reading and practice python and you'll be okay. Not as hard as CS courses but you need to put in the work. Huge Tottenham Spurs fan lol.

Visitting his "student support sessions" was super helpful and sometimes you get to meet his robot dog. Tough class if you're new to IT or computers. But study hard and you'll be fine.

Grade based on 2 exams and a final project. Attend his lectures and read the textbook to do well, keep practicing Python because it's in both exams. Do the Python labs, they will help with studying! Tough class to be in if you're an Arsenal fan. He is a huge Spurs fan :( Passed the class with a high A out of spite from being an Arsenal fan.

Attending class wasn't so bad and the professor is pretty cool. Exams were hard, but if you study enough you should be fine.
