He generally skips over the busy work and spends extra effort to make sure you know the important stuff. He's fun and makes class much less painful.

This is my second class from Brother Hales and I have thoroughly enjoyed both. Business Law is extremely insightful and needed for any career. He is also extremely caring and helped me through a very difficult situation outside of class. One of the best professors on campus, do not hesitate to take his class.

He's one of my new favorite professors! Super funny and easy-going. Brother Hales is great to learn from and is always willing to help. He's super understanding, and allows you to resubmit assignments in order to get a better grade. He usually has quite the waitlist, so make sure to get on it right away.

Bro. Hales is probably one of my favorite professors, and probably always will be. He is very energetic and engaging in class and he always keeps the lectures interesting. The hardest assignment is the White Paper mid-semester but it doesn't take more than a couple hours to complete depending on your effort. He and the TA's are always available.

Bro. Hales keeps class interesting. He wrote the textbook for the class, and rather than charging for it he gives it to his students for free. It is also much shorter than most textbooks. He makes sure the explain topics in a way that makes sense and is applicable to students, and also helps to answer questions in a way that will help later in life

I loved Bro. Hales! He has the best personality to be a professor. He truly understands his students and the importance of the assignments. He makes the assignments clear and easy to understand. He also is a joyful person overall, even at 8am on monday mornings.

Brother Hales was one of the best professors I have ever had. Although the assignments in this class seem hard at first brother Hales is amazing at giving detailed instruction and always willing to help out if needing. He is an amazing guy that keeps class very entertaining. Attendance is not strict but madatory to understand assignments.

He's funny and knowledgeable. I keep meeting him in random places. I took this class as a first block and now my semester feels cold and empty without him. In the class expect to build up your LinkedIn profile and conduct 3 informational interviews. His goal is to teach you to get an internship so you can stay out of your parents basement

Brother Hales is by far my favorite professor on campus. He is super funny and keeps his lectures very lively. He really cares about his students and is willing to work with you one on one. I never felt like I was just doing busy work, he always gives assignments that he thinks will help you find a job.

I took both BUS 100 and BUS 301 with Brother Hales, and he's a great teacher. His lectures are super helpful with real-life applications, and he shares interesting stories. He's also a really kind and caring person. You'll learn how to build a resume, prep for interviews, get internships, and so much more!

Really funny, super good person, but as a teacher wasn't my favorite. Warned us at start of semester though so it's my bad. Stories/anecdotes were interesting, but off-topic sometimes. Job search units definitely helpful, glad I learned those skills. Kinda loves to name-drop his successful business friends haha but loves his job and the students.

This prof will help you understand law as it pertains to business needs well. His TA will work with you more than he will when it comes to grading so make sure that you know the TA. This is a great class from this prof.

Brother Hales is AMAZING! I highly recommend his Business Law class, even if it's not required for your major. It's highly applicable, his lectures are funny, relevant, and engaging, and the coursework is very manageable. He's also merciful and understanding if you ever need to go to him about extenuating circumstances. Take his class!

He was one of my favorite teachers this semester. He's super funny and he's not a tough grader at all. He does get a little carried away in his lectures and having a bunch of test is a little difficult. Each exam is open note and open book though. Great guy. Would highly recommend taking him
