He is a nice person. Very understanding! He is willing to work. When ever you have a problem go to office and talk to him. He is extremely helpful.

His Ok..

I TOOK FOUR CHEMISTRY CLASSES FROM HAILU AND HE HAS BEEN THE BEST TEACHER I EVER HAD. HE IS VERY HELPFULL AND PREPARED.

I took four chemistry clases form Hailu. he is the best teacher I ever met. he is very helpfull and prepared. I never had low grade from him.

Best Professor EVER. I've hated science all my life...until now. It's amazing what a difference a good professor makes!

Michael Hailu is probably one of the best professors I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. I first signed up for his class only because I needed the transfer credit. Now I find myself each quarter waiting to get into a class that I know he is teaching. He has truly made me eager to learn more and push myself harder than any other prof.

Excellent professor

I have had Prof Hailu for 4 classes, and it has been a pleasure. I hope to have him in the future for further Chemistry classes. He challenges you to do your very best.

wonderfull teacher!!! I took three chemistry clases from macheal halu, he is supper professor, he can change your world of chemistry very easy.

one of the best teachers that you are going to have...explains the material very well and he is very helpfull...

Organic chemistry with NEVER be easy. If you attend class, read the handout notes, read the book, do the assigned problems every day, and go to him with any questions you have, you will do well. At times he is hard to understand but if you ask him to re-explain or repronounce something he is more than happy to do so. Take his class.

His classes are challenging, but fair. To do well, study the assigned homework material, come to lab and do the pre-lab before hand. He is very willing to help any student that needs or wants it. The turn around time for receiving grades is nearly unrivaled. I recommend his class, especially for people interested in taking distance courses.

Pro. Hailu enjoys chemistry and will do his best to instill this same passion in you! Chem171 was challenging and difficult, but he will help you to understand it.

I couldn't recommend a finer teacher. He is very passionate and well informed about the subject. Willing to work with the students to help them appreciate Chemistry and succeed!

I loved him! He presents info in a clear, simple manner. Class attendance is crucial, so is paying close attention. He moves fast though, so come to class prepared!

Attendance is not mandatory, but you should always try to go so you can stay on top of the work. He is always around to help you. It is true that some are afraid to ask Q's. But once you show that you are interested in learning he will be more than happy to help you. He is very nice. You should take him.

WONDERFUL TEACHER! Prof. Hailu made it possible for me to do well in Chem113. He made it fun, challenging and rewarding. In the future I can only hope for such an excellent instructor. He is strict on attendance and encourages class participation. His teaching and testing methods go hand in hand. He truly cares about his students and their success.

Hard to understand because of race but told us the first day if u don't understand him just ask him to repeat what he said and he did with no problem. Test were easy 50 mult. chose? and he will take a step by step approch with u

Michael was such a great teacher. He was very helpful and made sure we all understood the material. We still see him on campus and he remembers us and says hello every time.

Michael is a wonderful teacher. He is very helpful and made chem interesting and fun. He helps you outside of the class if you have problems with the material. He is one of the best insructors that we've had at columbus state. Should definatly take him for chem 113!

I like the proffesor teaching methodology.The notes he gives out is clear and precise.He illustrate hard chemistry topic by adding some good relevent example which make it easy to grasp.

Dr. Hailu is a great Professor of Chemistry. He also wrote the textbook for the Chem. 100 class. His lectures and labs are clear and he gives great examples in class to help. He has a review sheet before every test and goes over it. His understanding of Chem. helps the layperson understand all the difficult information. I highly reccommend.

Before taking Chem100 with Michael, I was dreading chemistry. I love chemistry now. Michael made learning the information easy. He is clear in his explanations and answers your questions to your satisfaction. He was available for one-to-one additional help, if it was needed. I will be taking General Chemistry classes with him in the future.

Michael is a GREAT instructor! He is very patient and makes class fun. Don't miss the lectures, study his notes and study guides and you will do well. He is great about offering help! I wish I could have Michael for all my chem classes!

I hadn't had Chemistry since high school, and he made it really fun to learn. He expects alot out of you, but he helps you learn and get what you are doing. He wrote the text book, so he really knows what he is talking about. He's really nice and I really looked forward to going to class everyday!

I had him for Chemistry 171, 172 and 173. Very knowledgeable professor who's accent can be difficult to understand at times. Great guy who will give you all of the extra help you need to grasp the material. Very funny guy with a great sense of humor. He really does want his students to succeed and it shows. Consummate professional.

He is very knowledgeable in the subject he teaches. He is very personable with the students and if you make and effort to understand then he will help you understand.

Michael is a great professor! He wants every student to pass his class and he makes an effort to help you earn an easy A. He jokes around a lot and it is funny, but you cant take it personal. He does his lectures right from the book so BUY THE BOOK! You should start a study group with people from your class..very helpful.

Professor Hailu is the best hands down! His lectures are easy to understand and he provides excellent study guides. So as long as you GO to class - you'll PASS the class. But, the best quality about Professor Hailu is that he's passionate about Chemistry and that makes his class FUN! He's a happy fellow. And I'm happy to have been his student.

Hailu is a great teacher, very intersting fellow, jokes a lot in class the best teacher i had since High school.

It's a little hard to rate the professor, as I didn't interact with him at all. It's been six years since I've taken chemistry but the class was still pretty easy. I printed out the lecture notes from each chapter and read them instead of the book. Didn't open the book once. do well on the homework and you'll do well on the tests.

Best professor Ive ever had really caring loves to teach and care so much about his students you even can come to his office hours and hell even stay hours with you after class to make sure you get the material

This man is so funny. Yes he has a very thick accent but you can understand what he is talking about, he is very straight forward. His exams are based on the power points he has up, a couple homework which have the answers and the practice exam he gives out. Super smiley and funny. Makes a lot of correlations to daily life. Take him.

He's a very easy chemistry prof. All your exams are exact problems from HW's. If chem is a class you genuinely enjoy and you're looking for a prof that will go in detail on topics, he may not be for you. As someone terrible in chem, he makes the class simple and easy to pass, and he's very laid back.

Very easy grader. Exams are very close to the practice exams. Labs are quick and easy. Micheal is a very friendly professor. He likes to crack jokes, make the class a little more entertaining than it actually is. And for someone who doesnt like chemistry at all, this class wasnt too bad at all.

Easy class. If you take online, online students that are able to teach themselves will be successful. 50% of the class dropped because of poor study habits. I took the final with 5 weeks left of class and ended up with a 94 in the class. This class is easy if you know how to study.

Greatest professor of all time

I thought he was lowkey funny and so random at times. His class is fairly not to bad, he does give the lab answer to you sometimes. HW, practice tests are just like the exam; if you do them, you'll be fine. Additionally, make sure to arrive at labs on time; he dislikes it when you arrive five minutes late.

This professor is very laid back. He wants what's best for his students. He understands that we have a life outside of school. I recommend him!!!

Professor is very laid back and understanding. He cares for his students and wants them to do well. The labs, practice exams and HWs are all easy points, just do them! Also, the practice exams and homework are very similar to the exams. Overall, I do recommend him but you will have to put in work outside of class to learn the material.

There's very few assignments, so make sure to do them all. Communicate with him, show up to every lab or lecture, and if you have to miss tell him that you'll be out and tell him why. He cares a lot, and the students who fight to pass, and fight to participate, he's very gracious towards. Be patient, ask questions, and stand your ground. He's great
