Reviews of professor Steven Hayle

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He seems to care a lot about the course content and getting people to participate. I would participate just because I felt bad about the low attendance. He marks hard. He is definitely open to discussion, but there is a base knowledge missed where you don't even know what to ask. Unclear, contradictory twelve page rubrics. Will lower my GPA.

I found the layout of this course confusing, but overall Dr. Hayle is a good prof. He provides excellent feedback & guidance on how to improve, very flexible with due dates, cares about his students, & replies promptly to emails. This course did not have many assignments, but the assignments you do have are heavy

This professor I had for Criminal gangs and Social justice/Criminal justice, Steven Hayle is the most unorganized professor I have ever had. He does not communicate with his TAs nor does he follow up when you have questions or concerns. I do not recommend him.

Entire mark hinges upon 2 assignments, online lectures are a waste of time, I don't like how unclear his marking criteria is for those 2 assignments. I didn't have problems with his email response time but I knew a lot of people did so that sucks

I don't even know what to say about this dude. Just don't take the class if you can. Graded by only 3 things so if you mess up one you will mess your whole grade up. He is a tough grader and be ready to write a lot.

the final paper was 12 pages long when it could have been 5 pages, his lectures are not well organized and he is a pretty harsh grader. do not take him if you do not need too.

The absolute worst prof I've ever had. I've had four classes with him and they were all a terrible experience. Every single one of his courses is the exact same with a proposal, term paper and huge final. Just three assignments for the whole course grade and absolutely no room for improvement. Avoid taking any courses with him.

Please do not take any classes by this professor!! He rarely replies to emails; if he does, it's very vague. Speaking of vague, this professor provides minimal instruction for any of his assignments, which are worth 25%+ of your grade, and the feedback you receive is not specific or helpful.

He was a very nice professor and would give extra credit when he believed students need it, such as extra mini assignments. He also allowed us to have a clear view of what to expect on the exam which was helpful, go into this course with an open mind. Hayle was a great professor who cared for his students and wanted them to be successful.
