Comment:

This was a very hard course. He goes on about things that arent relevant to what we need to know. He does a lot of math extremely fast, leaving the class really confused. If you visit him during office hours to ask a question, hell make you feel stupid that you couldnt work out an answer. Very very hard course.

Mediocre prof. Makes you work for your marks, but if you are willing to put some work in after class you should be ok. He does work fairly fast and skips some explanations, but if you ask him questions during the lecture, he will go back and explain it again

I'm honestly glad I passed this class. Barely understood what I was doing or what was being taught in the class. In the end, I'll definitely not take the class again

Not great - messed up lots during lectures, would ask the class for help finding his mistakes. Made the final really hard and doesn't explain sequences/series well so you'll have to teach yourself. If you didn't have experience with difficult integration from AP calc or another former class, good luck. Nice guy but kinda iffy, wouldn't take again

Herman gives hard assignments but then decent midterms and final. Does require you to do practice questions outside of class for homework. Never seen a person get as excited over math as he does, but that makes the lectures a little more interesting. Definitely would take him over some of the other math profs at the U of R.

Math 111 is so hard compared to math 110 its ridiculous!! Allen seemed like a very nice guy and I really wanted to like him, he just didnt explain anything like at all! I found math 110 easy but this class was terrible, the ciriculum is so much harder and you need a prof who explains it well, so I would not recommend Allen as I was confused 24/7

Difficult and long assignments, okay midterms, and okay final. Professor cares about his students. Does review sessions before each midterm and before the final. If you have any questions about the assignments or the grading, he will gladly help you if you go to his office. Curved the first midterm, and had midterm replacement grades on the final.

Very generous when it comes to giving out marks for trying during tests, and he often reviews the content learned the previous classes. Caring guy, but wouldn't recommend taking him if math isn't your strongest subject, he expects his students to already know a lot of the content and doesn't explain everything in detail. Funny without trying though

Allen is a good guy, he wants you to pass and gives you everything you need to do so. Youll still have to spend time studying to make sure you have every ingrained in your head, but he does amazing with what he teaches. Makes classes worthwhile, this is a prof youd want. Allen is a safe bet

Comment:

Dr. Herman went through the concepts quite quickly, and his explanations/examples may be confusing at times. Be sure to do the homework, though it is non-mandatory, because it helps ALOT. I found his corny jokes hilarious, and he's a great guy, but would recommend taking this course from another prof because he wasn't the best at explaining things.

not the best at lecturing but really cares Spent 2 hours reviewing the day of our final Sets it up so your best marks count and is helpful over email Tries really hard to be funny( he isnt) I would recommend if you have a good basic math knowledge since he does skip some steps( he will go over if you ask, however)

Number Theory is rank, but he gets you through it. He always helps with assignments, and believe me, you will need help. Also, try to arrange with him ahead of time to get more time for tests, because you will need it. He said the midterm would be 6 questions but it was 12.

Comment:

Prof. Herman is a mathematician and skips over steps in his examples and just assumes the students know what he is doing. He gives marks for just trying which is probably the sole reason I passed his class, so I did appreciate that. Questions on the exams are nothing like what you will go over or practice. He is a nice teacher though overall.

Class content is not overly hard, however, the stuff he teaches and the examples he gives you to study are nothing like the questions on the midterm or the final. his tests are tough.

I honestly thought he was hilarious, even though he might not have been trying to. I feel like he is just too smart for us to comprehend and has a million things going on in his head. His jokes were beyond lame but they were incredible ad he was really entertaining.

he works fairly fast, like when he's is giving notes, and you will have to do work outside of class to understand somethings, but he is a good grader and give marks for just trying the questions.

He is a very confusing teacher. I always struggled in math in high school so i barely passing this class. While he is teaching he expects us to know what he is talking about so he skips a lot of steps.
