Such a nice professor! Understands that his course is only one part of a student's life and will give extensions if you need one! Posts all of the notes AND readings online so you don't need to buy a book. Easy to get in contact with as well!

Such a great prof. Always answers emails, gives good critiques and genuinely helps you do well. I'm doing his CRW Telling Stories course online and am doing well.

He's an incredible professor. He posts very detailed writing materials to help you tune your writing skills. The questions he posts for the readings helps you read texts critically. I'm very taken aback by my sheer luck of having such a great professor to take English with at MUN!

Definitely my favorite professor! I wish I had taken the course in-class instead of online because I'm sure his lectures would have been amazing! But, the online course was awesome and Dr. Hallett was very clear on his expectations for assignments and activities. Really great course, really great professor!

This was a pretty easy course with good reading choices. There were 3 essays, weekly discussions and the final. Good course overall and he was pretty laid back when it came to deadlines.

David Hallett is a very relaxed prof when it comes to deadlines and he understands that his class isn't the only one you're taking. I would recommend taking his first year english classes.

David Hallett has been one of my favourite profs by far. I took his 1080 course online, and it was really easy. He give you a lot of choice in your writing, which made the course interesting and quite frankly, fun. He is a fair grader, and leaves you with great feedback which is always helpful to see where you may have went wrong. Highly recommend!

Comment:

Hallett is an overall good professor. He has clear grading criteria and, as long as your try, you should be able to get an easy A. However, having taken him online, I found his "lectures" were rambly and sometimes unnecessary and makes you lose focus on the main idea. This is the only negative comment I have about Dr. Hallett.

David Hallett is an excellent professor! Throughout high school, I was lucky to get a 65 in English but the first grade I got from Hallett on a rough draft was 80%, 4/5! I would literally take another class with him just because of how wonderful he is. He is genuinely interested getting to know his students as well.

The two who gave bad feedback to him probably never came to class. This Professor should be given an award "Professor of the Year" every 365 days. Like seriously, he is "David the greatest"!

Most personable prof in Mun, made my year a lot happier... I had him for 1080 and passed but I was sick the next time i had him, he completely understood and was gracious with assignment due dates.. even though I basically dropped all but one of my courses with a doctor's note he was always understanding. Wouldn't have any other prof for enlgish!

Makes every class interesting, does funny accents and always wonders about things out loud before class. He also always asks before continuing on to a different subject if anyone has any questions. He is a very compassionate professor and is not strict on deadlines. Would definitely recommend.

Best prof I've ever had. English is not my strongest course but I came out of his class with my highest mark from MUN yet. So nice and easy to get a hold of. Really caring and gives a lot of feedback. I took this course online and it was really great. He schedules things out nicely and picks interesting novels. Highly recommend!

David is one of the best profs I've had at MUN. He was very clear about what he expected from us, he taught the material with a nice twist (adding anecdotes where he could), and he totally agreed that exams were dumb and pointless but he still gave them because he had to haha. I would definitely take a course with him again!
