accent kind of hard to understand

this is a very easy teacher, she is willing to help you when u have questions. She is a bit hard to understand, but you'll get used to her.

She is very easy. Her tests are not scantron, you show your work and get credit for a problem even if the answer is wrong. Very nice, you will get an A.

Although her English is broken, overall I recommend her to anyone who is not a math master, and she is very helpful if you participate, and do your homework, and you actually get extra credit, she's here to help, just ask...

She is ultra cool for school. She let me do some exams that i missed even though i wasnt really allowed to. woohoo. this class is easy

shes so easy! easy grader! curves! and genuinely nice person...answers questions when asked...homework everyday but easy, tests are easy!

Takes the time to explain anything you didn't understand.

She's a cool teacher. her accent a little hard to undertand but overall she's very nice and helpful. She even explains the most simples details if you ask her to. She takes time to explain each problem which is good for a math class.

She is a very easy teacher and nice. Her accent is a bit hart to understand, but once yu get used to it it's an easy A class. She explains well and grades yur exams well. She's an adorable woman : )

Very easy, yet a little too easy. If you want somebody harder...get Ms. Brownie. Anywho, nice teacher. easy tests and easy final. Like the way she teaches. Yes, her accent is rough.But, you will get use to it over time. She explaings everything clear and takes her time to explain it. Over all, nice.

OMG! this tescher is so good! you will learn so much... this teacher really knows how to explain math!!! although she has a thick accent, you will be able to understand her! & she's so nice! GREAT teacher!!!

This is the nicest teacher in the world. So sweet, and you will understand the material after she teaches it--even though her accent is thick.

She is the nicest teacher and really cares about people passing, I had her for math 84 and now im in her class for math 31 and i just signed up for her math 20 class she's a very fair grader and wants you to do well

AMAZING TEAcher. AMAZING. AMAZING. love her. so easy. so nice.

Great teacher super nice, super cool. Always on your side and willing to help. Does not mark you off for small mistakes. Very fair tests with good amounts of time.

GREAT TEACHER!!! TAKE HER WHENEVER YOU CAN!!!!!

She is a very nice teacher. Her accentmakes her hard to understand sometimes. Will answer all questions. If you show up and do the homework you will pass. Her tests are based on homework assignments and are not tricky. She teaches the basics of what you need to know unlike most teachers who expect their students to be math wizes

Excellent instructor. I took her for Arithmetic, Pre-Algebra, and Algebra I. I was failing math before - but when I got into her class I started understanding not only how to do something - but why I am doing it. She is a great instructor - highly recommended if you are having trouble in math, she will explain until you understand something. Good!!

she was great and very sweet.

She is GREAT! The best math teacher. I'm not denying the fact that she has an accent, but it is not hard to understand at all. Just pay attention and you will get math. Trust me! Her class is very easy though, she doesn't chck your homework, and if you study the tests are pretty easy! other than that she is very helpful and an awesome techer.

BEST MATH TEACHER EVER!! She is VERY nice and understanding. Her tests are very easy and she will give you partial credit for trying. I have taken her 3 times and I've loved her class. If you suck at math you can pass with her. Take her !!!

Oh my god!!! Halaka is the easiest teacher ever! Trust me! I hate math and I have always been bad at it, but passed Halakas Math class. She is really nice and the best!

Very nice teacher, easy tests, drop one from 3 tests. easy final, easy lecture, easy easy easssyyyy. though she may has language difficulties, but if you listen and do the homework,it will be easy. she doesnt cut your mark much if you did wrong. She even gives points for mathematical calculations.Take HER CLASS...!!!!! RECOMMENDED!!!!!!

I love this professor! easy A

okay, i had her for 3 diff. math classes and i got A's in all of them! her accent takes a little getting use to but she is the BEST math teacher @ smc! She takes all questions and is avaliable after class. no questions are dumb to her. easy tests & gives part credit. drops the lowest score! never gives alot of homework! a real sweet heart too :-)!

she is a great teacher... she really helps you learn!!! i hate math, but she makes it easy. she really knows how to teach her students so that they will learn. she may not seem like she's on point about your work and attendance, but she is. i really love her class and plan to take her again as much as i can!! i highly reccomend her

Very good professor, Helpful and will do problems until you understand them. Test are easy and she gives points if you should your work even if the answer if wrong. I highly recommend taking professor Halaka for math 81.

Professor Halaka encourages you to attend class. She goes over each section and looks at all the different problems and explains it so you can go home and do the homework. There were four tests and the final. She dropped the lowest test grade. The final is a common final so be sure to do all the homework and attend class and you should do well.

She is very easy! Her tests are extremely easy! She is very happy and nice teacher, but she has very heavy accent. But she is very nice, when you look at her she will smile at you and she will help you understand.

WOW, Ms. Halaka is a good math teacher. every time after she tells the class something (good or bad) she will stand there, and smile at the class. I just want to go up there and give her a big hug sometimes. She is a very nice women that provides all opportunity for her students to learn the materiel and pass the class.

Accent takes getting used to-very thick. 4 exams + final, drops lowest one (not inculding final) very nice lady. doesn't give a lot of hw (barely checks hw). gives partial credit on exams and is VERY VERY lenient with giving it. exams are btwn. 13-15 questions. good professor.

HALAKA IS AN AWESOME PROFESSOR! HEAVY ACCENT BUT GET USED TO IT AND YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE CLASS. SHE IS ALWAYS IN THE MATH LAB FOR EXTRA TUTORING. SHE HELPED ME EVERY WEEK AT THE LAB ONE ON ONE. REALLY CARES ABOUT STUDENTS AND IS GREAT AT TEACHING MATH! TAKE HER CLASS YOU WON'T REGRET IT! I WAS SAD WHEN HER CLASS WAS OVER

Yes she has an accent and the 1st few weeks will take some getting used to it, but she is really good. She goes over the material well and will make sure that the material she covers is on her exams, I would recommend her if she is available for Math 84 or 31.

Halka is a good math teacher. heavy accent but will get used to it. she relies completely on the book for examples and easy test questions. drops lowest test score, (4 tests). if you want an easy a take her class

Out of all my Math 31 teachers i've had (Green & Bronie) she is the best. Yes she does have an accent, but her tests are easy and she is a very easy grader too. Doesn't check HW much..just show a piece of paper with numbers and you get credit. She makes math simple by breaking down the problems and going step by step. Highly Recommended Professor!

Very nice woman, and you can certainly count on her explaining everything until everyone gets it. If math isn't your best subject, I'd recommend her. She doesn't check homework, but do it if you want to understand the material better.

halaka oh yea :) i would say the best professor in SMC! have a accent but u will use to it tho! easy class and alittle H,W! Always willing to help !! don't doubt abt her just take ittttttttttttttttttttt :_)

Her class is ok. Not hard to get an A and she rarely checks homework. Ideal for Math 84

If you fail this class, you didn't try hard enough. she is the sweetest lady you will meet. I hated math, but now I'm getting an A in this class. People may be mean about her accent, and they may say she doesn't teach well, but that's not true. She's a great teacher. I highly recommend taking her class. study, pay attention & you'll do well

This is one of the sweetest professors you'll ever have. If you fail her class then you didn't try at all. She moves slowly so you have time to take in the material & does a lot of examples to help you. Her accent is a bit thick but she makes up for it by moving slowly. If you ask her a question she will help you.

At first, I was mortified at this class b/c I couldn't understand a word she said, but after attending class and listening carefully you see that Prof. Halaka is an extremely helpful and detailed math prof. who wants to make sure you know the material. Definitely a great choice if math is tough for you and you need a helpful prof.

She is a sweet lady! She's a very kind, patient, and helpful math teacher. She moves slowly and is thorough. If you need help, just ask her and she will be more than happy to help you. She does have a thick accent, but after the first week, you will get used to it. A great math teacher! I took her for 84 and 31!

I think she is ideal for math 84, she is great at teaching you the basic concepts that you must known order to succeed on to the next math level, and does not make it complicated like other professors do. I thought she was a very sweet lady, and someone who is very approachable if you need to ask anything. Definitely a must take! Hope this helps.

She's such a sweet lady, I was never good at math but she made it really east, she will always help you when asked, do your hw and study for the test always drop your lowest score and she will review before all test

She has an accent that made it hard for me to understand at time. She is however very sweet and willing to help her students succeed. You can tell she is very passionate about math! :)

Prof. Halaka is the best prof you can ever imagine. She's very kind, caring & repeats each day's HW,& Tests on the board so students learn more. Although she is in her 50s, she has a lot of energy & patience for students. I TRULY Recommend Her to anyone, you'll Pass the class %99. Took her for 81 & 84 Got B & A, I wish she was teaching 31 & 20 too.

She is very nice and her class was super easy. I'm not sure if I was just placed in the wrong math level but I got all A's in every test and final. I missed class about 8 times, I would arrive late but as long as you know what you're doing, do the homework and do good on the tests you're fine! SUPER EASY and I hate math!

Overall I don't see people failing in her class. She is very helpful and attentive to any student who needs the assistance. She easily breaks down everything for you to understand. If you place in the effort to learn you'll do good in the class, even despite being late all the time.

Class is easy, she goes over hwk and answers all your questions. she drops your lowest test score but if you don't understand teachers with accents then I don't recommend you take her because she has a thick one

Very nice lady. Overall as long as you do your Hw, take notes in class you will pass. She drops your lowest test score, and allows you to take the test if you missed it. I recommend her

Amazing professor! Sweetest lady ever! After my English class, which was previous before Math and teacher was awful, I've been enjoying this class so much! I don't have any problems with understanding MATH, but she made it much more easier. I truly love this professor, wish she tech every my class!

She is amazing ! Math has become my favorite subject. She is very helpful. Must attend class in order to understand. Normally I would drop math but I love coming to her class .

She is very nice and will remind you of your own sweet little grandmother. She does have a thick accent but it's not to the point where you can't comprehend what she's saying. She loves to explain things just in case some people don't understand it. Awesome professor!

Great Professor! Took her for summer and i understood everything. I'm usually bad at math but she helps you understand. I recommend getting the book. She is so sweet. She will do anything possible to help you out. Don't hesitate. you won't regret taking her class. Easy. highly recommend the class with her! It's a must!

I am in her Math85 and she is very easy instructor and give few extra credit and her exams are so easy.

She's a really good teacher and easy to pass.

Amazing!

Easy class and easy A. She is very sweet but a little bit slow and her class is usually boring.

I can't express how grateful I am she is the sweetest professor ever. Easy grader, I personally suck at math but thanks to her I passed and I can go on to my next class. If you need this math class take her!!!!!!!!! I PROMISE you wont regret it.

Halaka is an EXCELLENT math professor! I avoided math for many years and literally detested not only the subject but the teachers who FAILED to teach it clearly, step by step. If you want: not to be confused, someone explain step by step, patient, repeats again until you "get"it- take Halaka! Halaka gives 110%! U will finally understand math!

She is really nice lady very helpful, her class is easy.

Really nice and looks out for students. If you don't understand she will go above and beyond just to show you where you went wrong. Has an a cent so listen closely. Gives extra credit and tests are like the homework, she will tell you she is not trying to trick you what she teaches is what she tests.

Professor Halaka is GREAT! I've failed every math class I've ever taken & I got an A in her class. The tests are very very easy, easier than the homework given out & the homework preps you for the test. Very generous and easy grader. Not confusing at all. She has an accent and speaks very softly so prepare to listen & ask her to repeat.

Prof Halaka is a caring and efficient Math teacher. I have not been in a math class for about 8 years, so this was like starting all over again. Prof Halaka will always go over work, answer all your questions, and her tests/quizzes are not at all difficult. Her accent is a little thick but she is always willing to repeat so have fun and get an A!

Professor Halaka is amazing! I will say she does have a pretty heavy accent and it's hard to understand sometimes, but she always goes over the work on the board and is easy to follow. She actually cares about her students and will help you with any questions you have. She gives a reasonable amount of work and her test are super easy. Def recommend

Halaka is sweet and approachable, she wants all her students to pass ^.^ She has a middle eastern accent, so be ready to listen carefully. Light on HW and only checks it weekly for credit. Drops the lowest test score. Doesn't care much about attendance or participation. Do the HW and you'll pass the exams (I didn't study much but still got an A) (:

Halaka was awesome! I took her during winter so everything was a lil fast paced with exams every week. She does have an accent, but nothing that will hinder your learning. She's very nice & willing to ask if you help. If you can, DEF take her!

Prof Halaka is a very caring lady. she humble and just does her job. I'd definitely take her class again

Great professor really cares about her students .

She's honestly the sweetest little lady. Expect the hw. Its not much you'll have to do from chapter sections, but it does add up throughout the week, so just do the few probs she assigns the day of what was covered. It makes understanding math easier anyway. If you do have questions speak w her after class/office hours and she'll gladly help.

Great class if math is not your strong; she does her best to make you understand in a way that seems easier, definitely would take her again, wish she did more higher math classes. Overall reccomend just do the homework she assigns and try your best and youll be fine!

She's the nicest! She's very clear about everything! Would totally take again

She was an easy teacher. Would definitely recommend her if you want to get a high grade.

I just want to give Professor Halaka a big hug! She is the sweetest woman albeit maybe not the *best* teacher. Tended to rush through problems while talking at the board. Went over homework questions and quick, easy tests. She doesn't deduct points if you get a problem wrong she tries to give points wherever she can which saved my grade! Love her

Halaka truly cares about your understanding of the material. Her lectures are meticulously organized and she teaches abstract mathematical concepts in easy to understand ways. Best of all, she is accessible and more than happy to go over difficult material beyond class hours. She is tiny, sweet, and brilliant - a true gem indeed.

she tends to misunderstand questions and sometimes forgets to write what section she's going over, but she's a very nice teacher! her class wasn't too hard, but you do have to put effort in.

I took Professor Elean for Math 31. it was a great experience, I totally recommend it. You have to study hard, and attend all lectures. Homework are important. most of exam questions come for the HW.
