This professor is very unprofessional. I reported him to the department chair for unethical behavior and for being very hostile towards the students. Not a good learning environment for any student.

I loved his class! If you're lazy, don't take Mr. Haile! If you want to learn he will teach what you need to know and give some life lessons along the way.

Mr. Haile is just about the most interesting professor. He pushes students to engage and think outside the box. Time and time again I left the classroom and was left with something to think about. I recommend taking his courses.

Comment:

Haile was probably one of the best teachers I've ever had, you can tell that he loves his job. He gives a lot of lectures and talks most of the class, but he makes it entertaining to listen to him. I took him for English 1301 and yeah there was a lot of essays but it wasn't anything that I found uninteresting to write about! Be on his good side!

Has a great sense of humor. Really knows his stuff. Took him for summer course english 1302. English is easy for me so wasnt hard but did assign a lot of papers and reading. If you can handle the work load he is a great professor and should enjoy his class. Truly cares about his students.

Comment:

Incredible professor with a great sense of humor. If you show up to class, do the readings and writings, and communicate with him you should be okay. He's a great pick for English 1301 especially if you're an older student. I'm taking him for my English 1302. Register for his class and you won't be disappointed.

Comment:

Mr. Haile can be very rude and disrespectful, he curses at the students, embarrasses the students, yells at the students and can make a student feel uneasy. His assignments are based on what he likes in a movie, he is a movie buff and watches the book made into a movie in class. He can be tough on certain people but not on others. So beware!!

Comment:

He was the best professor for English at SAC that I ever had. I took three courses with him. People thought I was a masochist for going back. He is the best at running his class though. You will have to work. But every minute is worth it. I loved each one of his classes. Tension and all. You rock Mr. Haile. S Durda

Comment:

I took his summer class. He assigns a lot of readings and quite a few papers. His lectures are interesting but an acquired taste. If you want to learn, this is a great class but could be tough for people just trying to get by. I would recommend this class for a full semester, the amount of work for a summer class made it rough.

Comment:

Professor Haile is probably my most favorite professor. He's not afraid to call you out or speak his opinion. There is never a dull moment in class and you'll learn something new all the time. The work he assigns is a good kind of challenging and you'll see your writing ability improve. Overall he's a great professor who will help you if you ask.

Comment:

Is a man that likes to put his feelings and opinions out there and wants to be "edgy." Participation is what he enjoys most and has a goal is getting people to see his opinions("expanding their minds.") Honestly a bit over the top in my opinion but still easy class and easy to figure out what he wants.

Comment:

This class was probably one of the best classes after not being in college for seven years. He is amazing, but he is tough. You have to come into this class with an open mind, you need to make sure you do the homework, read the materials he gives you and show up for class. He's a great teacher, just a little tough. I loved this class.

Be prepared to be mentally stimulated and challenged. He cussed like a sailor because he was so passionate, so you will never be bored in his lectures. He had a tendency to go off off topic about political issues that had no relevance to the course. Never used a book. He gave out handouts for reading assignments. Overall good professor.

His lectures were interesting, but he never returned anything and never gave feedback. If you need a professor that you will get feedback from in order to improve so that you can keep your average up I wouldn't recommend taking him for anything other than a composition course.

Comment:

Not gonna lie, he came out strong but is seriously a dam good teacher. not much for a comp person or reading but he was worth it. Hes real easy on the grading, hes more for participation and when you have an assignment or homework just at least turn in something. that something matters even when its not the best or perfect.
