Reviews of professor Aaron Van Allen

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He probably wont message you back if you need help but if you focus and know how to write many papers then you'll be okay.

Professor Van Allen is the best professor ever!

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Van Allen gives incredibly unclear grading guidelines with no rubric. I would receive a grade with very little knowledge as to what I did wrong and how I can improve. I also did not feel very respected by the professor, despite the hard work I put in.

Professor Van Allen is exceptional in the way he teaches. He really cares about the success of each of his students and takes the time to get to know them. His classes were very engaging, well articulated and I learned so many lessons that I will carry with me in my future endeavors.

Professor Van Allen takes the time to make sure you understand the material. He is very engaging in his lectures. If really wish more of my government classes were with him.

Professor Van Allen is a great speaker. He assigns a lot of readings, and if you don't do them you won't do well on the quizzes or exams. His lectures can feel really long and tiring, especially when it's an 8:15 (which I do not recommend), but overall it's a good class.

He will warn you to keep up with the readings but as long as you pay attention to the study guide before a test you will be just fine. My preferred way to study is flashcards. Perfect attendance will result in extra credit. His lectures contain a lot of information but he doesn't linger on a topic too long, and he wants his students to succeed.

One of my favorite professors due to his teaching style, care he showed for all his students and how he pushed us all to be the best.

Professor Van Allen is the best Government prof at Liberty. He will take the time to explain why you got the grades you did and will work with you on how to be better. Really pushes you to be your best. Would take again.

Van Allen is the absolute best professor in the Helms School of Government. His classes will challenge you but you will be a better person for it. His real world experience in Congress makes this class especially useful for government students with aspirations to serve in the government. Absolutely take him for as many classes as possible.

Prof Van Allen is a prof who teaches well and genuinely cares for the students. I appreciate his socratic teaching style. He is an incredibly generous teacher with extra credit because the course material is incredibly difficult. Never had to work so hard in a course before. Sometimes he overcommits himself and can be difficult to meet with.
