Comment:

He always has a story to tell. He is picky. 6-10 SENTENCES ARE A PARAGRAPH. Make sure your sentences are clear & direct. SHOW THAT YOU WANT TO PASS. I bought this 80 book & used it once. He was just checking to see if you brought the book everyday. IT CAME WITH A ACCESS CODE FOR LAUCHPAD. The launchpads aren't hard LISTEN AND TAKE LUCKY GUESSES.

Comment:

He does not deserve any praise. He expects a lot, but does not help the students reach the next step. He is just a goal keeper and tells the students whether they have done well or not. He does NOT TEACH how to improve one's writing and critical thinking. He is practically worthless as an instructor or professor.

Comment:

Dr. Haule has published widely and has a very impressive vita. He expects his students to work hard and to turn in high quality work. His classroom lectures are entertaining, his reading lists are somewhat demanding, and his assignments and the feedback he provides is very useful! All of the students who complain about him are being juvenile!

Comment:

Dr. Haule is one of the best professors at UTPA! His courses are rigorous and entertaining. He expects students to turn in high quality work because he knows that this will benefit students in the long run. All of the students who have posted complaints about Dr. Haule are either lazy or unwilling to work hard! He deserves endless praise!

Comment:

Bad professor. Nobody knows what he wants. Questions are always vague and if you ask he will make you feel like an idiot. Essays are routine but he is never pleased. He gives them back to rewrite but gives you the same grade. Out of a class of 28 two thirds dropped halfway. The rest like me have a C or lower. Don't take him. Please don't.

Comment:

James Haule is a very hard person to please. Essays and tests are never done to he's satisfactions. Believe me our class tried. Don?t buy the book. As a matter of fact take him if you must but be warned it is not easy. In fact you will hate writing the same paper just because it wasn?t to his liking. Stick to Prof. w/ good reviews and avoid Haule.

Comment:

This was the worst teacher/professor i have ever had. I have always gotten A's in all my classes but not in his class. He does not teach at all, all he does is make jokes and talk about life. I highly reccomend you avoid this teacher at all cost and drop it if you have too. I would not even consider him a "teacher"

Comment:

He is a horrible professor! When he's not demeaning women or different races, he's reading aloud papers & heavily criticizing them - & not constructively. He constantly tells the class how dumb we are & constantly talks about his dog & how great dogs are. I know, random! He's not clear w/ assignments or what he's talking about. Worked HARD got a D

Comment:

He's very difficult. He's clearly smart, and likes to talk about how everyone is an idiot (including you - you'll see when he returns your essays). He grades everything terribly no matter how good it is. He will make you believe you are stupid and can't write. He gets off subject a lot, I mean A LOT, but he's funny. Pointless, hard, don't take him.

Comment:

This professor is rude, inconsiderate and has no backbone, nor heart. He should'nt be teaching. He is beyond one of the worst professors I've ever encountered. I got nothing out of this class. I poured everything into it and he barely passed me. DO NOT TAKE HIM!! SERIOUSLY, there is no use. HE SHOULD BE FIRED!

Comment:

THIS PROFESSOR IS RUDE AND CRUEL TO STUDENTS, WHILE HE DOES HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR AND CAN BE ENTERTAINING AT TIMES, IT USUALLY COMES AT THE EXPENSE OF STUDENTS. I MADE A 'B' IN HIS CLASS AND I WORKED VERY HARD FOR IT. HE FAILED HALF THE CLASS AND PROBABLY ONLY GAVE AN 'A' TO ONE OF THE FEMALE STUDENTS. I BELIEVE THAT I DESERVED AN 'A'
