Comment:

I have taken 2 classes with Haley and both were good! His tests contains multiple choice, true/false, and shot answer! It is important to attend every class so you don't miss anything for the exams. I didn't use the textbook much, but it is helpful to understand the material better. I would recommend taking a class with him!

Awesome guy and knows what he's talking about! Print his notes, show up to class, and write down any important information he says. Had him for a summer section, and even though it went by super quick, with a test every week, the tests were understandable if you show up for class.

He gives good examples in class, explains the material well and helps you if you have questions. Tests are hard but if you study for them they are not too bad. Would recommend for all the insurance classes!

Comment:

Haley is by far the best available teacher for the Insurance classes from 375 on. Makes everything relatable in class, gives examples to make sure it makes sense with everyone, and is willing to work with you when you need it. I've taken several with him and some with others, DO NOT GO THROUGH ANYONE ELSE. Fair grading, and tests that make sense.

Great professor. class is well structured. Very clear when covering the material. Tests are fairly easy. Look over his notes a day or two before the test and you will be fine. Highly recommend him.

Comment:

Strongly recommend him for any class available. The tests only cover what he covers in class, and the class problems/examples are harder then the test questions so if you pay attention and follow along pretty easy A. He is very easy going and approachable, subject matter is pretty dry so might as well take it with someone good.

His notes are posted online and by just studying those and completing my short presentation I think I will be getting a B in both of the classes I have him for. Somethimes points are given for attendance, but it is only extra credit.

Great guy. Probably the most boring class ever. The essay part of his tests are tricky. You need to know everything in his notes to do well on the tests. Got a B in the class and only went probably 8 or 9 times.

He is a great professor. He really knows how to convey information to students, and the notes he provides are clear and well laid out. Tests are difficult (a LOT of detail) with no curving, but if you study you will do fine.

Haley is a GREAT teacher! I mean come on, insurance is not exactly exciting but he made class more than bearable and gave extra credit somtimes to students that attended. He is super nice and if you go into his office he will explain/help/talk just about always!
