Reviews of professor Dennis Halcoussis

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
3 Tests & 1 Short paper. Book is not required but is nice for reinforcing material. He covers everything in his lectures, So go to class. Very nice and helpful. Do the practice test that he posts on Canvas as there are a lot of those questions in the actual exams. Definitely would take his class again.

He gave the most generous curve I've ever seen on one of the tests, an 80% or higher was an A. People said his tests were hard, but honestly, many of the questions were taken directly from weekly practice quizzes he gives you. Not a hard class at all, solid professor & standard number of assignments (2 tests, a short writing assignment, and final).

Prof Halcoussis is always available, ready to help you, and truly cares about students. While there are a good amount of assignments, he realizes that students have a life outside of class. He is funny, gives great feedback and is helpful and responsive to any questions you might have.

Overall a good professor with good lectures and gives practice quizzes to which half of them are on the exams hint hint. I took the 3 hour class and even though its once a week it got extremely boring after an hour and taking it at night only made it worse. Biggest drawback of this professor is that he doesnt record lectures so be prepared

The professor is a great guy, very likable and nice... but.. the tests are HARD! Def could be teaching the material better, less chit chatting. You only get one paper, two tests and a final. Not easy. I barely passed and I studied.
