Good teacher. Explains the material very well.
he is a very good teacher and a very friendly person. i wouldn't have been happy with any other professor. he makes things very easy on students, and he has a great personality.
You just can't get much better than this. I've taken him for two semesters and will sign up for him again if possible.
Good online teacher. Pretty simple class.
Very good teacher...makes the class a lot of fun with his silly sound affects...tests are fair and do your homework...it will pay off in the end.
Awesome teacher. Very easy. Gives reviews for test that is identical to the test with different numbers. Tests are multiple choice. I missed the final accidently and he let me make it up. Got an A in the class.
Awesome awesome teacher! Makes you understand material very well! I can't say enough great things about him. Very helpful & usually lets students use 1 notecard on tests, etc. Awesome class; learned a ton!
tests are no longer multiple-guess. but he will give practice tests that are close to the same thing as the actual test. things in class are hurried through but if you ask him a question he will slowdown and answer it.Willing to his time for extra studyin
pretty easy but very fast especially in the summer,so i would not encourage anyone to take him for the summer class if you are not that good with math.
Wonderful class. What you learn in class is what you will see on the test. Do your homeowrk and get extra credit on the test. Wonderful teacher and person. HIGHLEY RECOMMENDED!
Not helpful at all I hate this class
I will not say his class is easy. He teaches pretty fast, and I had to get some outside help with some stuff, but other than that... he has a great personality and cares about what the class thinks as a whole. He is always FAIR, a big plus.
Mr. Hall is for the most part a decent person. He's pretty lively and funny. He can be rather inconsiderate though, especially to students he doesn't like. He has a tendency to play favorites. His tests are relatively easy and he gives good review
Mr. Hall is a great prof and is extremely fair. He gives you all the chance in the world to make an A and he's great at teaching.
i remember thinking great not another math class..but wow mr. hall is the best math teacher..he understands and his test are the best..there is now way person should make lower than a C on any of his test...hes such a sweet guy. if maths not ur subject then take him for sure...
This guy is so unhelpful and he is a perfect example of a monotonic speaker..i fell asleep everyday. He doesn't care about any of his guy students. You'll prolly notice that anyone who rates him well is a female, wow how cool is that.
I think that Mr.Hall is a great teacher I had him in high school and he helps you when you don't understand. If you more of a visial person than you will like this class, he goes over everything
Mr. Hall Is awesome and a very helpful teacher.
Ask him for help if you need it. He is very willing to help you. This course is very hard for me, because it is not a "concrete" math. He is a good teacher. Just do your work, stay focused and ask for help.
good teacher well to stay after class to help stundent who dont understand. He is fair with the grading. I would take hem again.
he is a good teacher. he is welling to help stundent before and after class.
Mr. Hall is the best teacher I have ever had. I am considered a dumb blonde when it comes to math and he has helped me understand it! :) I recommend him to everyone!! He is very helpful and will go the extra mile to help his students!
he's a good teacher, certianly better than the one i had last semester, i actually passed his tests and he made a lot more sense than my math teachers in the past, i'd definitely recommend him. he's great.
He is very interested in golf, but not his students. If you want a teacher that lets you out of class very early, moves at a rapid pace and does not care about his students, then he is for you. I passed in spite of him.
This is one cool teacher. HE ACTUALLY CARES! i love him to death. hes AWESOME! he makes math fun and interesting!
Mr. Hall cares about his students and goes way beyond the normal teacher. He helped me understand math, not just pass the class, he gives lots of reviews and even helps with the compass. Take him..!!!!!!!!!!!
i loved mr.hall..he really cares about his students...his teaching was a little rough sometimes b/c he doesnt give the best notes...but he will always explain something if you dont understand...he gives awesome reviews that are practically the exact test...would recommend him
He is a GREAT teacher. Cares about his students, is fair, and gives reasonable homework. His tests are pretty easy, too. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
So ok..he likes girls more than guys...big deal...You should take him if u want an EASY Going teacher. Test are exactly SAME as the review. He's not a math guy but knows his stuff. TAKE him if you want an A and A EASY CLASS. If you like to be challenged then dont.
good teacher! bad jokes! <-- (j/k)
MR.HALL, IS A GREAT PROFESSOR! HE KNOW'S HIS STUFF. I DON'T CARE FOR MATH AND HE MADE IT INTERESTING! HE'S EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND WILL TAKE AS MUCH TIME NEEDED TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE INFO.
Super nice, funny, patient. He gives you the opportunity to help your grade with extra credit tid-bits, if your willing to put out the effort to do the work. Difficulty of his tests range from fairly easy to fairly hard. He will end up being one of the better math teachers you will have throughout your college days. I highly recommend him.

Mr.HAll is so awesome. I highly recommend this math teacher. He helps you in every way possible, and makes math fun. However he has bad jokes. His tests range from easy to hard.
Mr Hall is a really cool teacher! He is soooo nice!
Mr. Hall is such a great teacher. He is very helpful. However, his quizzes are harder than the tests are. He drops the lowest quiz grade and if you do good on the final then he will replace your lowest test grade with the final grade. You should definitely take his class if you can!!
I love Mr Hall James he is a very nice professor, he has taught me alot. Now i can call myself a professor in Maths. Thanks to Mr Hall James.God bless you
very good teacher, i am taking math with him next semester, makes homework extra credit and is very helpfull
Mr.Hall is one of the best teacher I come across, while at GPC. His teaching style is great, since he unique ways to solve certain things. He made learning math very interesting. He is very caring, and helps students who are struggling get better at math. Overall, I highly recommend taking this, because if you don't you'll regret it.
Mr. Hall was very helpful, funny, and the quizzes and tests were easy if you studied and did the practice tests.
He is a great professor, explains very well and is always willing to help.
very cool and calm.
Mr. Hall is a great Prof. He is funny and makes class a blast. I recommend him. He doesnt try to make math out to be more than it is, like most math prof do!
Mr. Hall is very helpful when it comes to math. He is a great teacher! He loves golf!
Jim is a very laid back teacher and is genuinly concerned for his students. He will go to any lengths to help you succeed. I thought his teaching style was somewhat unclear and I had to go through the book to understand but I still got an A. He is a very nice and funny man. Quizes are open note and most tests are multiple choice
Great teacher!! He spends a lot of time on a section and won't go onto the next until everyone is caught up. Do your homework because you get 5 points on your test. Quizzes are a little hard, but the test are easy. I ended up with an A in the class and I am taking him for math 1111.
Great teacher! Makes math fun and easy! Learned lots from this class! Homework is not mandatory, but is Extra Credit! all tests are multiple choice and gives great review study tests to take home a week before each test! 4 test total and an easy final. Just study the review he gives you and you'll make an A. Take this class!
Mr. Hall is a great professor, very easy and laidback. However, I was disappointed that we didn't get to the last three chapters of the course, which I know I will suffer for in the remainder of my college career as those were the most important chapters.
No Comments
Mr. Hall is a great teacher!! Most importantly, he cares about his students.
Great Teacher! Give practice test before the test. Homework is extra credit. He makes learning math easy.
GREAT TEACHER. OB QUIZZES, HE GIVES PRACTICE TESTS. AWESOME TEACHER! VERY HELPFUL. I WOULD TAKE HIM AGAIN. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT HE REALLY CARES ABOUT STUDENTS. NICE!
best math teacher i've ever had! he explains everything and is extremely helpful!! he gives practice tests which are the tests!!!! i'm taking him again
I hate to say this because he seems like such a nice teacher but nice isn't everything! To me, he goes way too fast and doesn't go over what is on the test! when he actually gives a practice test most of it u have to learn at home alone!He keeps going even when u don't understand it. Sometimes I feel like crying in this class bc he doesnt seem to c
Mr Hall is the best math teacher. He gives extra credit on homework, open book quizzes, and practice test. I took him for 98, 1111, and got an A. I am taking him for Stats because he is a great teacher and always willing to help.
HE IS THE BEST!! IF YOU PUT SOME EFFORT IN THIS CLASS, YOU WILL MAKE AN "A". HE IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP..I ALSO TOKK HIM FOR 98 AND WILL TAKE HIM AGAIN IN STATS.
Great Instructor! He is the best math teacher I've ever had in college. Nice and willing to help you out and explains the material well. I really want him for MATH 1111!
Mr. Hall is very nice, but wasnt too clear in teaching. i used to book and basically taught myself every chapter; the book is great by the way! He has open note/book quizzes and pretty easy tests, if you study! i made an A+ in his class. go me!
Awesome Teacher! The best math teacher I have ever had. He explains things where everyone can understand. Do your homework because you get credit for it. I would recommend him to anyone. Very Helpful!!!!!
Mr. Hall is an awesome teacher! He teaches from powerpoints, gives open note quizzes, and his tests are rather easy. He gives extra points on tests if you do the homework problems. He is willing to help with any questions. He teaches from powerpoints. There is also a project at the end of the semester, just a powerpoint presentation.
Mr. Hall is the best math teacher. I took him for Math 98, 1111,1431, and I got all A's. Do the homework because you get 5 points on your tests. He will help you if you need help. Great teacher! I will take him for math 1113.
HE'S THE BEST!!!
Hall's teaching is not all that good, but his quiz and test are very easy even if you don't understand what his teaching. All you have to do is attend class and study every pratice quiz or exam, you can't fail.
Mr. Hall makes learning math easy and fun. He test are easy. You can make an easy A if you come to class, and do your homework. He is a Great teacher.
His quizzes are VERY hard. The tests aren't so bad. The stuff he teaches is easy, but it was a very difficult class. I was kind of confused as what to study for, but he doesn't make you do the homework. Not a lot of extra credit opportunities. Oh and he reads these.
His class was ok!!! I would still recommend him though because he is a great teacher!!! What is hould ahve done was work harder but I did not!! His quizzes are take home and fairly hard but still it is a take home!!! His tests were ok and he is very helpful!!!
He is a very good teacher! Always helpful, and knows what he is teaching! I recommend students to take this class if you're bad in math. He will help you understand! I'm going to take him again for Math 98.
definately recommend this class..homework is extra credit, all quizzes are open book, tests are not that bad, and one very easy powerpoint project for his stat class...i made an A and i never stressed about this class throughout the semester
Great Professor, completely straight forward with all assignments,funny which makes class more interesting. Quizzes are open notes and tests are a lot like quizzes as far as format. I would highly recommend!!
Precal is some hard math, but if you try in his class, you will get a passing grade. He will make it as easy as he can for the class at times. I passed with a B.
Sorry to say but this teacher was koo first day. And then out of no where i felt as if he has a major attitude with me. and calls me out in class. I think is the blondes chicks his only nice with. Wish i could have dropped him seriusly bcz he is so rude.
Mr. Hall is the best math teacher that I have ever had. every class that I took with him I pass.(I took him for math 97,98 and math 1111. if you need to pass one of these classes take him and you will pass too.
I'm not sure why this guy is still teaching. I had to teach myself the entire course because nothing he taught made sense. You can tell he wants class over with as soon as possible, and that he does not really care. He is usually not prepared, and always late to class. Do not take him if you are bad at math. Horrible teacher.
Mr. Hall was great! He's a nice guy but you can tell that he's even nicer to the preppy girls! That didn't stop me from getting an A. His quizzes are take-home or open-note and his tests are the same as the study guides, just different numbers. On test days, he gives extra credit for HW. He'll take time to explain the material. Take his class!!!
dont take him if you are not good with math. he doesn't care abt. his students absolute noooooooooo intrest in his student. will not tk him for sny other math class
At first, he seems like a good teacher; however, he is actually pretty poor. He does not really know how to teach (i basically tought myself). Also, he is so unprofessonal. One day he came out of a class he was teaching to say something rude and offensive to me as i was walking in the hallway. He is pretty easy, but as a person is terrible!!!
Mr. Hall is an ok teacher he is pretty laid back and his interaction with you depends on who and what you are( blond white chick) but who can blame him he is older and needs a fantasy. He is good with his teaching and wont go on untill everyone says ok. Homework is worth 5 xtra points on test.Not bad I was looking to take him for 98.
I have an A in his class, and I hope to keep it. However, I have to teach myself a lot of the material because he'll speed through it at times. He'll rarely do examples, and he's just now crunched an entire unit--3 chapters--into 4 days. He's not too hard, but I get the impression he's mismanaged his time. I get frustrated at times because of it.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND DON'T TAKE HIM! you have to study and figure out every thing by yourself, and he is so rude. He is not gonna help you unless you have a blond hair, and you are one of his favorit.
dont worry you can cheat and he will pretend he doesn't know what is going on. he is actually the only teacher i know who encourages his students to drop his class.
He lets you use your notes and book for most quizzes, and did many take home quizzes too. Also one test is takehome, and half the final is take home. Project counts as a test grade. Nice and fair teacher!
This is the 4th time I've had him. He's great! This class is a little different from his others. If you try, you will pass and he will help you if you need it. He will do what he can to help his students pass.
Mr Hall is very understanding and sympathetic. Stay on top of the instruction and do your homework and even if you bomb tests, you should be able to pass. He will assist you as much as possible and has very reasonable expectations. We even did open book and take home tests. If you struggle with math, he is one of the best teachers out there
It is very easy to pass his class. I go an "A". He is always there when you need him and he does open book quiz and gives easy tests. If you want an easy "A", then take Mr. Hall. By the way I am writing this a little late. I took him last semester.
his a good teacher but he is lazy..clear with explanations and preety helpful..some quizzes and tests are take home and part of the final is take home..one project
Great Professor. I took him for three different math classes. Even if you fail a test and pass the quizzes & do the homework you can still get an A in the class. Math can be difficult but He like to see his students do well, so he will help you if you need it. Some take home quizzes & test & maybe a open book quiz. Must take his class u will enjoy!
As long as you do your homework and respond to the postings each week I think this class will be ok. Mr. Hall is willing to help only if you ask.
He's nice.. and helpful. Makes math easy because he explains it in a lot of different ways.. and brings doughnuts to class on test days.. pretty cool dude. :)
I didn't particularly like Algebra prior to taking this class. He's a great teacher. Do assigned homework get 5 points added to your test grade. He sets you up for success.
Mr. Hall is a GREAT teacher. I never used the book the whole semester and passed with a B.He explins all problems and gives the easiest way to solve them. He shows how all the probs will be expressed & the different ways problems will be worded, so nothing is tricky.test and quizzes are easy if you have taken the notes.I WILL TAKE HIM NEXT SEMESTER
Great teacher. As long as you show up to class you should be able to pass the class.
This class is good to take online if you have a busy schedule. I got really behind and still had time to catch up before the semester ended. I dont like math of any kind but the homework provided lots of help and so does Mr Hall when you ask for it.
I took this Hall's class online. It was pretty easy except you have to take the final in person.. at the Clarkston campus. Take him if you are willing to keep up with the work.
I took this class online and it was fairly easy. If you do the work and the assignments you will pass the class. There is a final exam at the end of the semester that you go on campus to take. Mr. Hall is very helpful and prompt with response.
The first day of class I was nervous because the syllabus looked very imposing. He encouraged me to stay and worke with me when I was stuck. Icommend his teaching style and his ability to find many ways to approach the problen to find the solution. I recommend attending class, doing homework, asking questions:)...you will do well and learn alot.
I took this class online. Math has always been hard for me, but Mr. Hall was extremely helpful. He met me a few times in person to go over problems I was having. Email him and he will set up a time to meet with you! I highly recommend Mr. Hall! He was great!!
As much as I do not like Math, he made it clear for us all. He gives us a chance to do homework so we could make extra points for the tests. Very helpful with notes and questions. One of the best Math teachers I have had.
Mr. Hall is a great teacher. If you show up to class and do your homework then there is no reason you shouldn't get an A. He explains everything really well. His quiz and test are easy when you study even just a little bit.
great teacher!
His stat class is quite easy in that if you do the homework then you should get a high A (homework is optional but 5 bonus points are added onto each test grade upon successful completion). One can expect 3 tests, 10 quizzes (in class/ online), 1 project and a final. I'd recommend taking this class online rather than in class because its that easy.
GREAT!!! ..Passes you in the class as LONG AS YOU TRY. Online quizes & testes. Wants to see you succeed.
great
He's a nice guy, gives extra points for homework to go towards test grade... I hate math and still got an A he gives you opportunities to get easy A's lke with the project he has you do...A lot of times he's not very clear though - requires a lot of studying on your part - if you have a hard time in his class don't rely on him - get a tutor!!!
He is a really good math teacher, you can understanding his teaching better than other teachers...
I took this class online its alot of work the math problems can be really long, but he will help if you ask him I made a B but I worked extremely hard to earn that.The work is not that hard but it just takes alot of time.
Online summer,stats is 95% self taught by mathlab-book,you want instructor clear with schedule, assignments, homework, due dates,uses iCollege technology so you can learn. J. Hall VERY STRONG in these areas-you present project in WIMBA online classroom,get your computer compatible with it right away!J. Hall gives you tools, do homework-practice!!!
Took him online for Satistics- Fair teacher- Independent Learner (teach yourself everything)Once you learn how to work using calculator-be fine. Would recommend him!***Best teacher for online is still Jo Thomas
I would not recommend taking this class online, especially during the summer. There are close to 50 problems on most 80% of the homework assignments. Very time consuming if you are taking a load of other classes, working or just simply have a life other than math.
DO NOT TAKE Online, have never had a Professor that used PowerPoints from years past (no longer used for test), gave same amount of homework for half semester that full semester used. (120 questions and quiz or test every 6 days- while learning 3 to 4 sections each week)
