Reviews of professor Trevor Hale

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
He is a really cool guy that makes the syllabus short/sweet/to the point. There is no guessing or interpreting, everything is spelt out. Nothing is proctored and the lectures are posted online, so no attendance required. Easy class, but also easy to forget about. You can make an A easily, I forgot an exam (it was over Spring Break), so I got a B.

There are 12 homework's and 13 quizzes that make up your grade. The online textbook is absolutely terrible and is filled with mistakes. All this professor does during class is read from a PowerPoint and calls it a lecture. The quiz questions are rarely similar to what is in the textbook or the assigned homework's. Can't look at past quizzes either.

Dr. Hale is a great guy personally, but when it comes to teaching I don't think he is the best. Quiz every Thursday with no tests, so these quizzes are what makes up the entire grade along with HWs every week. The course is really easy, so the class is an easy A, but if you're trying to actually learn, then he may not be the option for you

The quizzes and homework do not go together. He spends most of class time teaching you how to solve problems with excel or different online platforms, but then you are not allowed to use those resources on the quiz. You're allowed to bring a cheat sheet for the quizzes but after the first 6 ish quizzes its not even helpful.

Absolutely the worst professor at Mays, if not A&M. Any "teaching" done is from a powerpoint where he either briefly covers material or completely diverts and rambles incomprehensibly. Practice problems he does or recommends in the textbook are simple applications of the powerpoint formulas. While quizzes are many levels of difficulty above that.

The worst class and professor I have ever had. Hale does not know how to teach, or what he is teaching at all. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! Take it online in the summer!! I have had to drop his class twice, and he is not helpful at all. His class is a joke, and I seriously dont know how he still has a job at A&M.

Prepare to learn by yourself. Weekly quizzes comes from textbook and are exactly what he mentions on lecture days. Take picture of homework because you can't see it after submitting. He won't ask new or super difficult things in the quizzes, so homework and textbooks are enough for A. Quizzes may tricky with words so be careful!!!!

Impossible to learn in class. Hard to know what to expect on the quizzes. Never completely sure on the correct way to solve a problem. He is a nice and funny guy but don't know what I'm ever doing in this class.
