He is just good man!
Brother Hales is an awesome teacher. FD ENG was so easy and I would definitely recommend taking it online.
He was awesome and very responsive every time I had questions.
Brother Hales has been sent from heaven! Best online teacher and he helped me speak English good!
Brother Hales encouraged my writing skills in a way that will positively affect my whole life.
Brother Hales is a fantastic teacher! Even though he failed me. Me fail English!? That's unpossible!
Great professor. He is willing to help of you wanna work.
Super down to earth guy. He just wants to help out his students.
Brother Hales is seriously so awesome! Like when I came into the class I was not excited at all and I was pretty worried and scared. But the way he teaches makes you very interested in the class. He also gives opportunities after you take each test to do an appeal where you can get extra credit points on the tests you take to raise your grade!!!
Brother Hales is the best! I have taken his FDENG101 and B320 class. I am sad that I have finished my required English classes because I would totally take another class from him. He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. I highly recommend going to his office hours and getting to know him! P.S. This class replaces ENG301.
Great teacher. Follow the rubric of each assignment and you'll do fine. He has a great, applicable, stories if you can convince him that he isn't wasting time.
Amazing and fun teacher that makes the work enjoyable. I would love to be able to take Brother Hales again for any class. He does whatever he can to help his students. This class taught me tons about how to be a great writer in the business world. The class is very personable and he makes it very interactive. Would Take Again!
He was great. I want to take another one of his classes. He has a lot of really useful insight and experiences that he applies to what we are learning. Definitely a 10/10. You won't do anything in his class that is meaningless it is all useful and applicable to your future.
Brother Hales is great! He mostly grades on exams and one paper. He gives lots of hints on the exam if you come to class. Business Law is not my favorite subject, but Brother Hales made it bearable.
He cares more about teaching you something that will matter in your career than teaching you something for the next test. Oh, and if he comes dressed in a suit? Just hope he doesn't call you to the front of the class to answer a question on the board if you know what I mean.
He is such a great mix of funny, inspirational professor and professional, seasoned lawyer. His tests are scary but he does all he can do to prepare you.
Brother Hales is an awesome teacher and makes this class very enjoyable! There are a lot of tests throughout this class, but don't worry they are not super hard. It was open notes and book. He did review sessions for about every test. If you pay attention in class, he gives you the exact answers. I'm generally not a good test taker but I did well.
Brother Hales is so incredible! He gives the most amazing lectures, and they always have hilarious stories that help you remember what you learned. I would love to take this class again!
Brother Hales was a really great teacher. I learned a lot of useful things that I can use in my everyday life. He is very knowledgeable and very funny!
I've had 2 classes from Br. Hales. I wish he could teach all my classes. He's pretty laid back, and at the same, he challenges you to do your best. 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. I just wish he'd have bought more of our LIT candles.
Brother Hales is the most kind hearted, but direct professor I know. He knows how to get things done the right way; that will help his students in life, rather than just in the class room. If you ever need a role model, he would be the one to look for. If you have an opportunity to take his classes do it! You will not regret your decision.
He is an incredible professor.
Great teacher. Definitely concerned with students progress and very encouraging. He's available to ask questions and very patient.
Best professor I've ever had. I took the course online and did not do well, and in his class I retook it and got an A! He's super funny, cares about your learning, and will do everything he can to make sure you succeed. Go to class, and his leprechaun hops will help you remember what is important. Great professor. Tens across the board.
He's very good at simplifying difficult or misunderstood topics. He's not one of those teachers that rehashes the same course week after week. He keeps things current and relevant. His policies are good for motivating people to find out what they did wrong on their tests afterward. I'm not good at business stuff, but I still did well in this class.
Bro. Hales is an amazing professor. He gives everyone an equal chance to do well in his class. He is easily accessible out side of class. His lectures are very well put together and are funny and memorable, yet at the same time you learn a lot from them. Take his class if you get the chance.
Brother Hales is probably one of my favorite Professors ever. Makes Class enjoyable, Makes it easy to prepare for class, cares about his students, and is hilarious. He has study sessions for each test and you should definitely go. He usually has treats and its only about 20 minutes long.
So good. I would recommend this class to anyone. He is hilarious so everyone pays attention, but he also manages to teach a lot of info very clearly. Some reading, but not a lot of homework. He is the best teacher I have ever had.
Best professor I've ever had hands down. loves what he does, makes it interesting and genuinely cares about his students. His classes are genuinely interesting and makes learning easy and real world applicable. very understanding and willing to work with and help you.
Michael Hales is the greatest professor at BYU-Idaho. He teaches so clearly and simply, and every class is entertaining, he is very funny. He makes Business Law a fascinating class.
Take this class! It's not hard- the tests are do at home, open google, open book, open notes, and you are allowed to repeal questions you got wrong to make up points on past exams. There's only three assignments and they are easy to get 100s on. BROTHER HALES IS SO FUNNY. He's this successful lawyer who teaches a class for fun. My favorite class.
His lectures are great! He might get off topic once in a while, but he stays consistent with giving you actual helpful information. Best business writing professor available on campus. There are two classes per week: 1st- lecture, 2nd- peer editing, then on Saturday your two weekly assignments are due.
Professor Hales is the hostess with the mostest. He will blow your mind with the most boring facts in the universe. If you're a big ol' NERD you should prolly take his class.
Brother Hales is the best teacher I've ever had. He wrote his own textbook that makes his material very easy to learn. The alternative was a text that required like 5x more reading. He's funny and you'll learn all kinds of things that you'll use for the rest of your life. Four tests, three papers, not really any other grades.
Brother Hales is a beautiful human being inside and out. Keeps lectures interesting which you will really appreciate since the material can actually be pretty dry. Passionate about what he teaches, personally provides audio/video study guides for every test which are very helpful. One of my favorite teachers. Solid man
Most of your work is outside of class. We mostly just had guest speakers for the class. Funny guy.
Incredible class (BUS Exploration) and Brother Hales really cares to pass on his wisdom of the business world. I had him on Zoom (#Covid19) but he made it work and always had successful business people as guest speakers. He gives great tips on how to perfect a resume. Great stepping stone class for the business world!!!
Brother Hales is very helpful and is there for the success of his students. Read the rubrics and youll pass with an A. Always keep in touch with him when something comes up and hell help you out. Very understanding.
Excellent teacher. Easy to understand the assignments. He expects well-written assignments but also gives you so many chances to improve. He cares about the students and always is available to chat. 10/10 highly recommend.
Brother Hales was an amazing teacher to start off my business education. He is hilarious and cares that you get good grades. The assignments are very easy and the classes are fun, not to mention that he releases you early most days. Best teacher.
Super awesome teacher! He makes class enjoyable and is so funny. This class is a basics course so it isn't meant to be hard but Brother Hales will help however you need in order to pass and get and A. Assignments are very doable and overall easy to get good grades on as long as you show some effort. Highly recommend taking this course with him!!
One of the best teachers I have had so far. He loves and cares about his students, He makes it clear that he is a different teacher in B100 than his other classes, so I can only speak from my experience in BUS100, but I would definitely take any other class from him. He wants you to get an A! Do the work and get to know him.
Best professor out there. Have a good time with him and ask as many questions as possible. Most fun class I have taken.
He looks like Matt Meese, sounds like Matt Meese, and would probably grade like him too if Matt Meese ever taught a class. He really wants you to succeed and does that by eliminating a lot of unnecessary busy work. Would take him again!
Brother Hales has awesome lectures and really cares about his students. His class is fun and you learn a lot. I would totally take another class from him! The exams can be hard but he offers ways to get points back.
Brother Hales is AMAZING. I cannot say it enough. His lectures are some of the best I have ever seen and as a bonus, he is absolutely hilarious. He is arguably the best professor on campus and is a real gem.
Hes an amazing professor and made my freshman year very fun and learned great things
Bro. Hales is a great professor. I took BUS100 and the class was really easy and was about exploration in business fields. There is some work to do but it is extremely easy to get an A if you simply turn stuff in.
really funny and caring guy, One of my favorite teachers.
Bro Hales is a really fun and supportive professor. BUS 100 is an easy A as long as you put forth the effort on his assignments. They aren't hard. He has guest speakers and really desires you to get a great jump start in being successful in school and getting a job. 10/10 recommend. I'd hands down take more classes from him.
Great professor. Really cares about students. Not much busy work which is rare for low credit classes. Really entertaining and lets you out of class early when there is nothing to do or when he wants you to get assignments done.
Brother Hales is amazing! He is so fun, his lectures are amazing and never boring. Students and teacher are always laughing, very personable. Attendance is part of your grade, but extra credit is available to make that up at the end of the semester. Tests are open book and internet he does his best to make you get an A in the class if you want an A
Brother Hales is unlike any other professor I have ever had. He genuinely cares deeply about his students and is hands down one of the funniest people I know. Just laugh at his jokes, show up to class, submit your assignments and you will do so well in the class. If you are debating between Bro. Hales and someone else, do Hales. Love this teacher.
Would recommend you take as many classes from Brother Hales as possible! He is so funny, helpful, and the best teacher on campus. If you want an A in the class you'll get one. The assignments are fairly easy and helpful for real world things. Brother Hales is easily accessible outside of class & accepts all late work and redoes.
I love Brother Hales. He's such an amazing professor. 100% recommend him.
Brother Hales is the best professor I have ever had. He's funny, engaging, teaches the material well, and you get helpful business skills out of his classes. He will go off on silly unrelated tangents during classes and I think it makes the experience that much better. This class was never dull. He is full of life and loves what he teaches.
Professor Hales is the best! He's very funny and cares a lot about his students. Attendance wasn't necessarily mandatory but sometimes we had peer review quizzes that you have to take in class :) However, you'll look forward to going to class. He also let us out early every class!
For someone who has accommodation, I highly recommend using office hours, advocating for yourself, asking questions for clear understanding on assignments before it gets to late in the semester if you aren't happy with your grade. He truly does care about each student he meets. Also, he knows when to add humor and invite the spirit when he taches.
I loved taking this class from Bro Hales because he had such a passion for the subject. While it was just required for my major and I wasn't all that interested, it was fun to learn from him. He tells the best stories and does a great job of being engaging. He also wants you to succeed and will do what he can to help you
I loved Bro. Hales, he wanted to see all of his students succeed and grow. He had great office hours and he was so helpful in improving work and reaching the best grade for assignments. His lectures are so fun, sometimes he gets a little off topic but in the best ways.
Great professor!
The more classes you take from Brother Hales, the more you get to know him as a professor and why he is the best. He's all about helping his students be successful by giving them the resources to do so on and off campus. Whether it be with homework or life in general, his office is always open for his students when they need help.
There is no other way to describe Professor Hales other than absolutely fantastic. He is the most engaging professor I've ever had. Every morning we were greeted with joy and stories. He kept every lesson engaging and was always available for anything we needed. I wish he could teach every class I need for my degree because he's amazing!
Awesome guy. Probably the best professor I had in all my college experience.
He is awesome! Classes are truly so fun but you still learn a lot. He shares funny stories that connect to the topic of the week. Each assignment is designed to help you succeed in the work place. Highly recommend!
He is super fun, you will always be looking forward to class. He is very thorough and intelligent, he can explain things well and he is very memorable. I wish he could teach all my classes.
This is probably my favorite professor I've ever had. I love the class and all the topics we go over. Professor Hales manages to make each class fun. He sometimes rants about medieval history and connects it to modern law. It makes the class way more fun! Professor Hales cares a lot about the topics and students, and it makes you care too
such a good teacher! take him!
Best professor. He was so much fun, and made learning the law super enjoyable. He really encourages class discussion which I appreciate, but might not be ideal for everyone. All of his tests are open book and open note so they weren't ever that stressful. He also allows you to write appeals and earn points back.
He's a quirky guy but super understanding and helpful. Class is engaging and worthwhile, and he never overdoes busy work or reading. I get practical, real-life help from this class. It is balanced well and not too overwhelming and he tries to make the last few weeks a lighter load.
He is so funny and caring! He is such a good dude!
Great professor who actively wants students to succeed and helps them to do so. His classes are interesting and fun and he's good at managing the classroom. The work load never felt too heavy and he's super understanding - I'd definitely recommend him to anyone
He is a good teacher and makes class enjoyable. I would take his class again. The course itself was fairly easy with clear expectations. He is accessible outside of class, but he is not as friendly in his office compared to when he is teaching in class. He is pretty arrogant and hard to build a connection with.
Brother Hales is a great teacher and has a really good, paced class structure that does not feel overwhelming. The midterm (white paper) is a lot of writing and takes a good amount of time to complete. Outside of that project everything else has limited word counts and is very manageable.
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.
AMAZING. Best professor I've ever had.
love bro. hales. super funny and the workload is easy except week 6 where theres a White Paper. thats the only difficult assignment all semester. if you need to take adv writing take this class w/ bro hales. if you like medieval scripts and scrolls you can bond w/ him abt it. also things don't get graded in a timely manner thats my only problem.
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
Brother Hales is an awesome professor! Super fun lectures and is always willing to help students. Just do the work on time and listen to his tips in class and you'll do great. Always check to rubric and follow it closely.
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.
The absolute best teacher on campus! Take his classes even if you don't need them.
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
Literally the best guy ever!
Wonderful professor who is engaging and available to students.
