Reviews of professor Allan Hendrickson

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He's very philosophical about math and gets lost in his own thoughts. for 112 you get 3 midterms and one final which will only help you. If you go to class they will help you kinda, you take what you need and tune out the rest. he's willing to work with you during office hours and provide resources if you need help. Webwork sucks and that is used.

I really enjoyed Allan's class! I think he explained things well, did not give an overwhelming amount of work and was not a super tough grader. He really wants everyone to succeed and I think he did well at keeping things interesting.

I survived because I love calculus, but he was the worst. Spent the whole lecture trying to look smart rather than teaching, (Khan Academy 5/5, would highly recommend). He was pretty unreasonable a lot of the time and extremely condescending. If you need this class for your major and Alan is the only option, WAIT and take it later. Not worth it.

Actually math 281, but it wont let me choose that
He's very good at explaining concepts in multiple ways to make sure everyone can understand. Sometimes gets off topic in lectures, but never enough to make the class fall behind

Ignore the bad reviews, Allan is a great GE and a solid choice to take a calculus class with. His lectures tend to ramble, but he is a very generous grader and assigned our midterms as open note, take-home tests, which was really nice. Pretty normal homework load, if you do the problem sets and go to class you'll be fine for the exams.

Allan could be a rollercoaster at times during his lectures. Tended to ramble and go fast when explaining things. But overall a very nice guy who really cares about his students and will take the time outside of class to help anyone. Hes also a very generous grader when it comes to tests, but be ready to be confused during lectures.

Alan Hendrickson sucks... At the start of the term, I thought he was cool, though this thought quickly dropped. I'll give him a little credit because he didn't has a grader, but he still sucks. He never responded to one of my emails and didn't release the day of the FINAL until finals week... DO NOT HAVE HIM AS A TEACHER!!!!

Terrible at explaining during lectures and I struggled understanding during the whole term, and I have taken calculus before.
