Comment:

Here's the deal. He doesn't teach from the slideshows, only verbal lectures, illegible handwriting, and does tai chi for the first 3 minutes of class. He's a lenient group project grader but his exams were hard.

Comment:

Professor Haselkorn never writes anything on the board, never goes over power points and never give out handouts. However, he is a pretty lenient grader for the group project. He doesn't really do a good job at explaining and his humor can be sometimes kind of rough and not funny at all. He always does taichi at the beginning of the class.

Comment:

Probably the easiest grader for 112 or 212 especially for the group project. This course is the same regardless of professor for exams and homework. He knows his stuff and if you follow along in class and do your assignments, you will do fine. Highly recommed, but beware he is extremely sarcastic and some people may not like him because of this.

Comment:

I am really happy with Profesor Haselkorn. He made a clearer and better understanding of basic accounting for me. Lots of people complain about him, but I think, if you crunch some study time before and after class, you will be great. I like his style, hilarious, straight to the point. Accounting usually boring, but with him, is not the case.

Great professor. His classes are a bit boring but he is very lenient with his grading. I would definitely take him again if i could!

Comment:

such a great professor. has such a bad reputation because of how he teaches but honestly all you have to do is get used to his teaching. doesn't use powerpoints, gives examples instead (which helps you more once you take the tests). absolutely hilarious if you're able to take sarcasm

Pretty bad teacher. No power points, hard to understand, second grader handwriting. Really sarcastic so if you like that kind of humor then he's a pretty funny guy. This class will consist of mostly self learning from the book. Try not to take this class

Comment:

Starts every class with tai chi, which is pointless. Doesn't use powerpoints, doesn't use blackboard, has terrible handwriting and will give the class an example then walk around the class for 20 minutes to ask everyone if they have the answer. It was nice to be given so many examples, but he explains very poorly how the answer was calculated.

Comment:

received a 4.0 in his cost class at Bentley 10 years ago. was the hardest class of any class in the 5 year program (that includes the MSA program). being in his class is a little bit scary because he calls on people randomly, so you have to stay on your toes the whole time. You also MUST prepare each week and read every chapter and not fall behind

Comment:

If you are taking a class at Harvard do NOT expect to be coddled. Had several classmates upset because no one explained the online class to them, its Harvard not community college. MH is sarcastic so if you don't like that kind of humor don't take his class. He spends lectures going over hw problems. Class is average of 2 tests total.

Comment:

Professor Haselkorn was very condescending during class, while also not teaching us at all. For an intro class, he acts as though you should already know accounting. The class consisted of illegible practice problems on the board. The exams seemed very easy but he nit-picked every little thing. He is an AWFUL TEACHER. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!

Comment:

HORRIBLE. 1 page syllabus is horrible, lectures are terrible. This professor reads straight from the textbook; I may as well be teaching myself. $2550 wasted at Harvard Extension School. Accounting is boring enough, but this professor takes it to a new low level. This professor should've retired since he's clearly on vacation during lectures.

Comment:

You start class with Tai Chi, surprisingly, I liked it. You read the chapter and do hw before class, and then he teaches and sees what questions you have. Sometimes, he goes over problems quickly and doesn't write it down, so ASK HIM TO DO IT! Exams: If you can figure out the practice exam, read the chapters and do the hw, you will do fine.

Professor Haselkorn has a strong personality so a lot of people don't like him. I enjoyed his personality and humor. Yes he forces everyone to be called on but you know it's coming and everyone is wrong at some point. He gives you the midterm and final beforehand with different numbers. Just be aware of the due dates for the online assignments!

Comment:

All the people complaining about Haselkorn just didn't take the time to study. Prof. Haselkorn is the man, has a good sense of humor, goes over the problems in detail, and even gives you an exam in advance to study for the midterm and final. He really doesn't expect much and teaches you a lot. Anyone complaining just wants to be coddled.
