This guy is very easy he can come off as being mean on the first day! However his quizes come straight from the learning objectives!
VERY VERY EASY. Just go to class and he basically tells you what you need to know on the ppt slides. The test are fill in the blank, but they do not cover much material, plus you know exactly what to know. He offers Salvation for 50 raw points!! Take him!
best teacher ever. really easy. you have an A even if you don't want to
Take him if you can... so easy. Tests are all short answer, but he pretty much tells you which ones will be on the test. He's loud and a little intimidating, but its hard to screw up this class.
loud and may seem scary the first day, but he keeps your attention with open discussion type class. he will call you out but his tests are a breeze. also, speech projects take up a lot of the class days.
One of the most engaging teachers I have ever had. Easily accessible and very knowledgable for students graduating. All professors need to take a tip from him
Hands down the BEST Prof I've had in college. This guy is great in the classroom as well as outside of it. He is there to help and has provided a great deal of assistance in my job search from referals to general guidance. The class was always interesting and its an easy A. I learned more from this class than any of my other MGMT classes.
Great teacher! The book for this class only cost $20! He's very helpful and he doesn't take attendance! Best teacher at USC!
By far the BEST professor I have ever had at USC. He's a little intimidating but it builds character people!! You will learn so much from the course material and guest speakers. Take him! You're crazy if you don't. The assignments you do will help you for the future so it's worth it.
Pat is a really cool guy. if you're intimidated by this guy, barney must have given you night mares. really easy to get along with and can be an excellent instructor once you get used to his quirkiness
He yells a lot. Big deal... Hanly is a great guy and his class is a lot of fun. One quiz, which isn't hard, and everything else is pretty much pass/fail. Go to class and do the few assignments and you'll be sure to get an A. I would highly recommend this class.
Hands down, without a doubt, my favorite class and professor I took in all 4 years of school. If Hanly intimidates you then you aren't ready for the real world anyway. He will help you any way he can as far as jobs and references. GREAT guy, MUST take
Low maintenance class. $20 textbook/materials. One 5 minute presentation, one quiz, some light other work, 10 page final paper. Class time is useful and you can actually learn something here. Excellent course and instructor on leadership. I recommend this instructor/class. Kinda loud, though.
Mr. Hanly TRULY cares about his students. Class is not at all demanding and you actually learn a lot about leadership. DEFINITELY take Mr. Hanly if you have the chance!
Hanly's class is great. It forces you to step back and evaluate yourself in an unbiased manner so that you can strive towards potentially becoming an effective leader. Yes he is loud and seems like he is out to get you, but he does it to everyone. If you can't handle Hanly, then you won't survive in the real world. Awesome guy definitely recommend.
One of the most memorable professors of my career at USC. I HIGHLY suggest taking him because you will be a better person/leader after having his class. Yes, he likes to yell, but at the end of the day, he is one of the best and most helpful professors I have ever had.
He was very loud but very funny I loved this class but it is not one for poeple who are shy. He always calls on people to talk in front of the whole class. But I learned some things that are actually helpful and had a great time! Great Professor!
Honestly THE best professor here at USC. I learned so much from him and this course! No tests in the class but you will learn so much that will help you with your future career goals. Great guy, great class, if you don't take Hanly you are missing out on one of the best opportunities here at USC!
Great professor! Seems intimidating at first because he can get loud. But definitely the best class--learn things you will actually use in your career. Very interested in his students and gets to know each individually. TAKE HANLY!
Best teacher ever. Easy presentation, takes care of you. Extra credit really helps. Take him no matter what! Plus no book or attendance
GREAT TEACHERRR!!!! intimidating at times, but by far the funniest and easiest teacher I have ever had! TAKE HIM!
The best professor I have ever had!
Loud speaker but keeps you paying attention...only one test/quiz, resume, one presentation on a book, and one 10 page paper due at the end. no final! Great class...if your looking for an upper ba class take this def. useful in life!
Awesome professor! Class was always stimulating. Pat's pretty chill so you get out of class pretty often, but watch out for the triple nickel presentations! Also, you can't be afraid to speak in this class - he'll call you out!
By far, my favorite class in college! Hanly is such a great teacher and invests in his students. His whole goal is for his students to be successful, and he does a great job preparing you for leadership! You can't be afraid to speak in class, but the presentations are helpful. The 10 page paper is so easy to write! TAKE HIM you won't regret it!!
Prof. Hanly is by far my favorite teacher during college. He makes class fun and interesting. He is extremely understanding, and he makes the class worth coming to. As far as grades, the class isn't hard as long as you put somewhat of an effort in it.
Really easy, you have to go to class and participate but thats about it. one homework assignment all semester. 2 really easy tests.
Definitely one of my favorite teachers so far. Really encouraging and wants you to do well! Class and participation is a must but it's honestly not bad at all. super loud, bring ear plugs.
If you don't take him you're dumb!! Class is interesting and holds your attention the whole time. Almost everyone gets an A.
by far the best teacher I have ever had hands down. Work is easy and fun he is not teaching you something for you to memorize he teaches things that you need to learn. Grades are up to you and how much you put in your work. Extremely helpful take him.
Hanly is awsome!!! He is the funniest professor ever! He always keeps your attention, and teaches you about real life. There are 2 test and a presentation. TAKE HIM! HE'S AMAZING!!!
Mr. Hanly is the best professor at USC!!!! He is helpful during the class and after you take it. He keeps the class entertaining and fun and never boring! Definitely take him if you have to take MGMT 371 and/or MGMT 403!!!
I took Hanly for 371 and 402 he is my favorite professor at USC! You have to be able to speak up and not be afraid to be called out in class, but classes are entertaining and you learn a lot! definitely take him if you have to take mgmt 371 or 402!!!!
Hanly is one of the best teachers in the business school! The course is fairly easy as long as you do the work! The book is necessary but it's inexpensive and you can probably share with a friend! Every class is entertaining and you feel comfortable. He is very funny and has a lot of energy! I would recommend him and take him again if I could
Hanly is the one of the best professors at USC. You can tell that he is energetic about the subject and wants us to feel the same way. He does secretly take attendance so make sure you attend class, which you will want to because the test questions come directly from class lecture.
Professor Hanly is the best Professor I have had at USC so far! You can tell he is very passionate about the information he teaches in class and he wants you to do well and wants to help you succeed in life! A very easy but helpful and interesting class! Make sure you go to class because he does take note-you'll want to go, he's that good!
He is an amazing teacher! I learned a lot of useful information. He is always willing to help if you just ask. Take him!!!!
Professor Hanly is by far one of the best professors at the university.He cares about his students and wants the best for them. He's not worried about making sure you remember certain numbers, but instead things that will actually help you out in life. I have learned so much from his class and the presentation will definitly help.
One of the best professors I have ever had. Great guy who is fun to be around and makes you laugh in class. He went to west point so he likes to yell at students but he really does it in an almost loving way. He gives almost everyone an A.
Hanly was an outstanding teacher. Really cares about his students- he will poke fun but it builds character. Gives great feedback on presentations and really prepares you for the workforce. A professor I wouldn't hesitate to stay in touch with after graduation. Definitely take him!
Hands down, the best professor I've had in the Moore School of Business.
Mr. Hanly is an amazing person & professor! His leadership class will help you grow personally & professionally! The guest speakers really prepare you for the real world! This class is life changing. TAKE THIS CLASS & MR. HANLY!!!! HE'S THE BEST!!!!
Professor Hanly is a great teacher. His class is quite the "experience". He can be very sarcastic and confrontational, but take it in stride and you will have a great time. I would take as many classes as I possibly could with him. He applies management to real situations. Also there is not a textbook and almost no homework.
Had Hanly for 403 and 371 - by far the best teacher I've had in all of the classes I've taken at USC. Actually cares about the students and takes the time to get to know them. Wants to help each student academically and professionally. If you don't take Hanly while at USC, you're missing out.
If you don't take Hanly you have missed out. Learn a ton without realizing it. Not only an amazing professor, but an awesome guy. Highly recommended is an understatement. Don't be intimidated by his booming voice.
Professor Hanly is a wonderful individual. I don't know if I have taken a class at USC where the professor honestly cares so much about his students. He learned everyone's name in a class of over 50. I took him for leadership mgmt 403 & really enjoyed his class. Not alot of work but 10 page paper & 5 minute presentation at the end of the class.
If you take MGMT 371 with anyone else, you're crazy!!! Hanly not only is a hilarious & amazing professor, but he genuinely cares about every student. He has an incredible memory and will call you out if you missed class, but who would want to miss one of his classes!!? He constantly made us laugh and still I learned so much. TAKE HIM!!
BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! took him for 403 after 371 because he was my favorite teacher I have ever had! Learned so much and he makes class interesting! I actually wanted to go to class TAKE HIM!!!
By far the best class i have taken at USC. Hanly is intimidating at first but once you get over that he is hilarious and really knows his stuff. The only class i can honestly say i looked forward to. Only work is a 5 minute presentation and a 10 page paper that is way easier then it sounds. If you can take this class, its well worth it.
Amazing teacher! Learned information that is actually applicable post-college. He's honest, loud, funny, and easy. Take him!
This class was more than "Alright". Professor Hanly really cares about all his students. Each class is informative, funny, and unique. It is very easy to earn an A and each student looked forward to going to a class, even at 6 pm. TAKE HIM
Hanly is great! I loved everyday of his class. He is so helpful and loves what he does. He wants all of his students to do well. Definitely take him if you can!!
Awesome guy. Cares about students and willing to help you out with ANYTHING. Speech you give is intimidating but he is that way toward everyone. Awesome.
Don't let the first day of class scare you off. Hanly seems intimidating but he's actually hilarious & loves his students. Makes an effort to get to know everyone. Tests are easy, final presentation isn't that bad. By the time you do it, you're used to Hanly & comfortable with him ribbing you a little.
Professor Hanly is awesome! This was my second class I have taken with him. He likes to call people out in class but even if you are shy you need to take his class. Overall the class was easy but interesting. I highly recommend him!
He can seem loud and scary at first, but he's definitely a class act. After taking two classes with him, I can't bear to sit through class presentations now because I hear his voice critiquing everything they are doing wrong. You will learn a lot though, and he's a great guy. Highly recommend.
Hanly's great. He wants to get to know you (faults included so he can poke fun at you but all in good humor.... He's a piece of work) and knows all of his students by name at the end of the semester. Will pull you out of your comfort zone but will also probably give you a reference. Easy A for sure if you do the work (not much). Cheap textbook too.
The guy is a trip, amazing professor! Makes the class very interesting and really knows his stuff. Take Hanly as many times as you can and you won't be disappointed. You WILL actually LEARN a thing or two...
Hanley is an amazing professor. He is entertaining and makes class relevant to everyday life. Leadership was one of the easiest, and most helpful classes I've taken at Carolina. His whole goal is to "make you comfortable with being uncomfortable" so he calls people out but it helps you in the long run. If you have to chance to take 403 DO IT!!!
If you don't take Hanly, you're doing yourself a disservice. He is easily my favorite professor at USC. It's clear that he really cares about his students, and he wants them to do well. Class material is applicable to the real world, and his feedback is helpful.
I would recommend Hanly to anyone. He is hands down my favorite professor at the Moore School. Don't be intimidated by him on the first day because of his bluntness and extremely loud voice. He really cares about his students and I thoroughly enjoyed taking his class, not to mention it's super easy.
Great professor. Makes class enjoyable and interactive. As long as you participate (and that's not hard to do) you should be fine. Minimal assignments. MUST attend class. Definitely buy the notes he copies for you. It's $3.75 and has all the powerpoints with room for notes and read that for the test.
Professor Hanly is one of the best professors I've ever had. He gives great (HARSH) feedback to help you grow as a leader. His loud voice and humor keep you interested during class so it's not boring. If you try, you'll get an A. Great professor! I would take him for every management class if I could!
Hanly is an awesome professor. I took his class at 8:30 Am and was able to stay awake and pay attention because his lectures were so interesting. He will help you out if you're having trouble. I would definitely take a course from him again!
I was scared to death of him after our first class, but stick with him and don't let that scare you away. He's absolutely hilarious. Doesn't take attendance, but you'll want to go, I had him @ 8:30am and wanted to go. He'll randomly call people out during class. Tests aren't bad at all as long as you pay attention in class. Get the powerpoint book.
Best professor at USC hands down. I have never been a fan of 8 am classes but would take his class again in a heartbeat. Hanly is a very funny guy who makes class very interesting. Doesn't take attendance but will definitely call you out for missing class. Be prepared to talk in class. Course material not easy but Hanly makes it seem that way.
Hanley is hilarious, easy, and helpful. NO BOOK.. NO TOUGH TESTS.. NO POP QUIZZES.
I had Hanly for an 8 AM, and it was so worth it. I know that no one wants an 8 am, but do it. There are two very easy and straightforward tests, and one presentation. I learned a lot and Hanly really cares about all of his students.
Very good professor, loud but keeps your attention. Helpful overall in real world matters like public speaking, etc. Loved the class
He is hands down the best professor I have ever had.
I had this class at 8 in the morning, I'm NOT a morning person, but I looked forward to going to his class every week! His lectures were clear and he is hilarious! If you get easily offended, avoid him because he picks fun at everyone, including himself. One of my favorite professors at USC!
Professor Hanly is the man. He is loud and can come across as scary the first class, but once you get used to him, you learn a lot! I had him for MGMT 403 and did several independent studies for him. Such a great guy to work with and learn from. If you are a management major, take him, take him, take him!!!!
Hanly is by far the best professor I have ever had at USC. I had him for an 8:05 and I honestly look forward to his class every morning. He is engaging, loud, and keeps you on your toes. His lectures are interesting and practical and he will always relate everything he teaches you to real life examples. There is no better teacher to take!!!
If it isn't already abundantly clear, take Professor Hanly's class. There are two exams and they are insanely easy if you look over the notes an hour before. He genuinely likes the students. Will definitely be trying to take his Leadership course.
By far the best professor I've ever had! He's pretty loud, especially for an 8:05 class, but he's super engaging. I never skipped a class his lectures were so good. He really cares about his students! Participation, 2 tests that are easy and a 5 min presentation make up your grade. Super easy and practically gives you an A. TAKE HIM!
Pat is a great teacher and a great mentor. I'm so glad I got to know him during my four years at USC.
Best professor I have had. On the first day he will be very intimidating but his class truly helped me with becoming a better speaker. I want to have him again! The "textbook" is a print out of his powerpoint slides but it can be useful (it was $3 to buy)
He's honestly the best professor I have ever had! I plan to take him again for his leadership class too. He's loud and blunt, it's amazing. You'll learn so much from him both for school and life. I just took this class as an extra 3 credits to keep my scholarships. But I'm glad I did. If you have the chance to take him DO IT!!
Honestly the only class I've ever had at Carolina that I'm sad is over. If he offered another class I could take, even for no credit, I would. Despite the level of difficulty being low, I learned more in this class and about leadership than any other class. If you're not taking him but taking 371 or 403, switch immediately.
I concur with the ratings here. The best and easiest, and you learn a lot about leadership. Test book is not required. Very interesting class.
Prof. Hanly is a true asset to DMSB. He can be a little intimidating on Day 1, but stick with him! He frequently interacts with the class during lectures and gives great examples and feedback. The assignments are fair and you also get opportunities to know other students, even in larger sections. He will challenge you to be your best. Take him!
This guy is probably one of the most awesome professors I've had at USC. His classes are early and he speaks VERY loud, so those of you that aren't morning people will wake up REAL QUICK! His tests are super easy if you study several days in advance, or a day or two before, and he encourages participation. You SHOULD NOT skip class! Recommend!
Hanly is by far the best professor in the DMSB! I have never had a professor that was more engaged & genuinely interested in students. He pushes you out of your comfort zone and makes you an overall better student. Consider yourself fortunate to have him as a professor & a mentor with your best interest always at heart. Good luck & wear ear plugs!
Pat Hanly is the BEST teacher at USC. If this not obvious, TAKE THE CLASS.
Professor Hanly is a very good teacher. Although his style may come across as loud, he genuinely cares about his students and how well they do in the class. He gives extra credit on tests if you don't do well, and there is an end of the semester presentation you have to give. Overall good class!
I graduated, but had to come back to this to say how great this guy is. His lessons are actually applied in the real world, he toughens you up, and teaches you to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations. Genuinely cares about his students and wants them to do well. My favorite teacher at USC without a doubt.
Getting up for an 8:05 isn't easy for me, but going to his class made it so much easier. He is loud and funny and uses real life examples for everything. The man knows a lot about management and leadership. He keeps the class engaged, and makes learning fun. 10/10 would recommend taking him for any class.
The best professor! Very engaging and caring. Tests are based on your own understanding and opinion! I like this because I'm not a good test taker. Reading and writing assgn are not difficult You will apply what you learn in his class in your other classes as well. 100% TAKE HIM! and be fast when registering because everyone wants his class!
Hanly makes class so fun and you'll learn without even realizing it. He can be a little loud and seem overwhelming at first but he really wants his students to succeed. 2 tests and a final presentation. 100% recommend
Pat Hanly is the best professor in the business school. If you get the chance to take him, 100% do it. He talks very loud and can be intimidating at times but you will learn more from his classes than you have in any other class. He gets to know you and will write you an excellent letter of recommendation if you need it.
One of the best professors in the Business School. Has a lot of experience that is relative to the class. I had this class at 6pm and honestly looked forward to going. Attendance isn't mandatory but you won't want to miss. He's a smart and understanding guy and really wants you to succeed. TAKE HIM!
Mr. Hanly is honestly the best professor I've ever had. He pushes you out of your comfort zone. I don't enjoy 8ams but his class made me want to wake up. It was the only class I wouldn't skip. I HIGHLY recommend taking him. He's funny and sarcastic. The class is 2 tests and a final presentation. Def worth waking up early.
One of the funniest professors I have ever had. He has a VERY loud voice, which will definitely wake you up in the early morning classes. Lectures are heavily participation based, with students reading slides and giving examples that relate to them. Presentation at the end of the semester, but as long as you follow the rubric he grades generously.
TAKE HIS CLASS! Prof Hanly is one of the best professors I have had at the business school. Do yourself a favor and take his class! You won't regret it.
Pat Hanly is the most incredible professor at USC. He teaches with so much passion that you can't walk out of class and not feel inspired to be a leader and to succeed. He is more than willing to help students succeed in any way. I always looked forward to going to his class because he had a passion for the material. Uses personal experiences.
if you want to take a professor that actually cares about you and doesn't treat you like a robot who is suppose to take notes and just retain info and pass tests, then take Hanly. He is by far one of the best professors in DMSB. There is one "Quiz Midterm" super easy and a final paper thats easy. His class isn't about passing tests. take him.
Attendance is mandatory but he is very funny in class, assignments are clear and beyond easy. If you go to class and do the work, it is an easy A. He is willing to help if you miss class and to work with students; very understanding and a fair grader. The book is a $5 print out and information is very straight forward. Truly wants students to excel
GO TO CLASS! Only two exams and they are completely based on lectures. No textbook needed because he has a printed book with all the lecture notes in it that you can buy for $5. Gives extra credit if you didn't do well on an exam and gives you a week to complete. Presentation as final, read a book and just give a review on it basically. Easy A.
Hanly is the man. He makes class so easy and actually enjoyable. I had class until 5:40 at night, but I didnt mind going that late. He is anything but the traditional professor and you are only graded by a Quiz midterm and a presentation.
Literally best professor I have ever had in Darla. I have my 8:30am with him and I actually do not mind going at all. He is funny and I actually walk out of that class feeling like I have learned something every day. If you have the opportunity to take him please do.
Professor Hanly cares a ton about his students and always puts us first (even when he had incredibly difficult things going on at home). He is passionate about the subject & wants to make sure you succeed. There are three tests and those make up your course grade so take them seriously.
This man. He's the best professor I have ever had. I would take him for every class if I could. He is so kind and caring to every student, and will go out of his way to talk to you even outside of class. Just a couple papers, a presentation and a mid term quiz for the grade.
Professor Hanly is awesome!! His exams are not hard. Attendance is worth 25% of your grade, but he does not take attendance. His lectures are kind of interesting and he expects the class to participate. All PowerPoints are posted to blackboard. You should definitely take his class if you have the chance.
Professor Hanly was one of the best teachers I have ever taken. He is loud and funny and keeps the class interesting. He is nice and always willing to help when you go and talk to him. Attendance is 25% of your grade but he never took attendance so a lot of people did not go. I would definitely go to class since the class discussions are helpful.
If given the chance, TAKE THIS CLASS. Hanly just started teaching a larger lecture hall, but makes it just as engaging as a normal 30-student class. He is engaging and funny, and finds fun and unique ways of teaching management. There were only 3 exams, all of which were very logical. He also gives extra credit opportunities. TAKE THIS CLASS.
Overall an easy A graded by only 2 tests and a final presentation. I liked the class and the way he got everyone to participate, and I think he means well. However, on the last day of class a student presented a powerpoint and he was brutally mean to the student. Will say it changed my view of him, and honestly I expect more from my teachers.
Graded by attendance (which he doesn't take) and 3 exams that are for the most part common sense. Hardly ever lectured for the full time and makes the lecture LOUD and more interesting. Easy A.
The best professor at USC. Loves to try and scare people off with his big bold personality (dont let him) and really cares about you being prepared for the real world. Ill never forget this guy, truly one of a kind. Highly recommend.
Super easy teacher who is actually pretty interesting. One easy exam, 1 paper, and like 1 presentation make up most of grade. Deff take him if you need an Easy A.
Hanly is a great guy who really cares about preparing his students for the real world. The only thing I didn't like about him was how during our presentations at the end of the semester he would humiliate some people in front of the entire class - definitely not necessary. Otherwise, nice guy and easy A.
Hanly is by far my favorite professor at USC. He made me actually want to go to an 8:30 lecture. This class is beyond easy, and you'll enjoy it.
Hanly is the best professor at Darla Moore. He teaches so much more than information in a book. I can apply everything I learned from him to every aspect of my life, in and out of the workforce. He has a big and engaging personality that makes class anything but boring. You will not regret taking him.
Professor Hanly is an absolute gem. He is so energetic every day of class and it forces you to pay attention and care for the class. His sole purpose for the class is to prepare you for the real world. Be prepared to get comfortable being uncomfortable, he will bust your chops throughout the semester. One of the most impactful professors I had.
Professor Hanly is hands down one of the best professors in the Darla Moore School. He makes his "textbook" out of his own powerpoint slides and it costs $3 at the printing center in Russell. His exams answer themselves as you go through it. He is always calling on people and making class so fun and totally worth the 8am, and lets out early often.
The best. A professor who left a lasting impact on me & I took twice. He teaches you the "bigger picture" which is applicable to real life. Don't be intimidated by his aggressive teaching style as he only does it to teach and help you. Talk to him, cool guy, w/ awesome stories. He's one of those professors you'll tell your kids about one day!
Take this professor 100%.
Take Hanly for as many business classes as you can at USC. He is truly the best and his classes I feel like I'm truly LEARNING, even online in a pandemic. He is so funny and truly cares so much about his students. His leadership class has helped me immensely to learn and plan for my future as a post-grad.
100% take this professor, best Ive had at USC. Always responds to emails and makes the lectures interesting! Take him for mgmt 371!
Don't make it to senior year without taking Hanly's class! Take him for mgmt250 and 371. He truly cares about his students, what they're involved in, and where they are going. He's done a lot of things in his life and has a lot of stories to tell. Stories that you're going to tell around your own kitchen table one day.
The best professor I have ever had at South Carolina. I would take all of his classes if I could. IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO TAKE A CLASS WITH HANLY DO IT , YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!
Hanly is one of the best professors I've ever had! I took him for both MGMT 371 and MGMT 403, and he made every class so enjoyable. He keeps everyone in class engaged and really cares about his students. His classes are super easy but I also feel like I really get a lot out of them. Everyone should take a class with him if they can!
He is simply the best professor I have ever had. His sense of humor is incredible and you can tell how much he genuinely cares about his students. I honestly think he is one of the most optimistic people I have ever met, and I always leave class in a great mood. I've gotten a lot from the material but I've also learned so much from him as a person.
Hanly was literally the best professor that I have had at the university so far! Even though exams and attendance are your only grades, he made tests in blackboard and his tests are the exact same as his powerpoints that he also puts on black board. Easiest 100 please take him!
He is the best MGMT 371 professor! Exams are straight from the powerpoints. Attendance is mandatory, but there is no homework. Would definitely recommend.
Prof. Hanly is AMAZING to say the least. Cares about all his students, mine was on zoom so he would kind of popcorn read the lectures throughout the students. If I could have him for every class I would. Great guy!
The best professor Ive ever had. I would never sign up for an 830 but I did because of his reviews and didnt regret it. Almost all of our classes were less than 30 minutes. Our grade consisted of attendance which at the end of the semester he said it didnt matter and three exams which were not locked down and straight from his pots. Nicest man!
Not even kidding, Hanly is one of my favorite people ever. As a professor, he makes the class as easy as possible, while still teaching the material to ensure students are learning, but are still able to be extremely successful. He's so kind and will do whatever it takes to help you. Early classes suck, but if it is your only option with him, do it
I love this man. The reviews are 100% right. Hanly cares so much. My only complaint is I wish I had him in person! Easy A. With this past year, we all need a prof like Hanly. Take him!!!
If you can take this class with Hanly DO IT! He is so easy. I took this class online so the tests were open note and the answers to the multiple choice exams were straight from the notes. If you go to class and take notes you will undoubtedly succeed in this class. His lectures were sometimes as short as 7 minutes long and no homework. recommended!
Very caring and understanding. Grading is very easy and straight forward. One of the best professors I've had at the business school. Gives real life experiences and examples. Enthusiastic & calls on different student during lecture to read a slide. This keeps the class interested. But if you miss lecture, it isn't the end of the world. Take him!!!
Best professor I have had at USC. By far a great person and just makes class enjoyable. Normally I never leave reviews on here, but he deserves one. Great professor!!!
Had Hanly for MGMT 403 and he is hands down the best professor i've ever had. Makes class enjoyable. He cold calls but he isn't too serious about it. Very few graded items. The class is all about learning how you can be an effective leader. One test and one presentation. If you ever have the chance to take one of his classes I highly recommend!
Professor Hanly GOAT.
Super energetic and funny guy. If you are an introvert take someone else, because you will be called on to answer a question from the lecture. One quiz, one test, and one presentation is all the work that you do for this class. If you do bad on the test like I did, he allows you to get extra credit with a few assignments which was awesome.
This class was really easy with Professor Hanly. I went pretty much every class and all he does is read from his powerpoints (which you don't even need to take notes on). He calls on everyone to participate but easy stuff. He can be loud sometimes and only grades on 3 things, but easy A if you study and show up. He let us out early a lot too.
Take Professor Hanly at all costs. Easily the funniest and most laid-back professor I've had. The class is basically just lectures, a couple of very easy open-note exams, and a project. Very easy class. Take Hanly.
Professor Hanly is hilarious. Grades are determined by 2 open-note take home exams, an easy presentation, and attendance. Believe me, you won't want to miss class because Hanly makes every day enjoyable and really socializes with each of his students even if you are in a class of 80. TAKE ANY CLASS YOU CAN WITH HANLY
This is the best professor.
Professor Hanly is an amazing professor. He has engaging relative stories to tie into lectures and keeps the class environment fun. Everyone should take him, you will learn so much including life lessons beyond school material! Go to class, take the open note exam, do your presentation and write your paper you'll get an A.
Professor Hanly is hands down the most hilarious professor in Darla. At first I was a bit demotivated to go class cuz it was an 8:30 am class, but he made the lecture so entertaining and informational as well that made me doesn't wanna miss a single lecture. The class is so easy, no weekly assignments,2 take home exams & 1 really easy presentation.
Prof. Hanly is one of my favorite professors. He asks questions frequently in class in order to make sure that you're engaged, so pay attention. All the notes on blackboard. Tests are easy. Total grade is mainly made up of 2 exams and a book presentation. I missed quite a few days with no penalties. Take him, you won't regret it!
Very loud but he knows this. Nice guy
This is the best professor I have ever taken at USC. He is the sweetest man, and cares about his students so much. I loved every minute of his class!!!!
Hanly is very loud but hilarious. Be ready to participate because he's very interactive, class is very entertaining. He really cares about his students. Graded on 2 take home exams and a presentation on a book.
Prof Hanly is the best. His class is so easy but effective. He does not make anything harder than it has to be. I learned so much. Class gets out early most of time. He is loud so taking him in AM is not an issue lol. He will randomly call on people in class but it's not scary at all. One group project, 3 open note exams. No homework.
Take any class you can with Hanly. He is hands down the best professor I have had so far at USC. He does not take attendance but believe me when I say that his class is so interesting and fun that he will get you up for an 8:30 everyday. I really enjoyed my time in Hanly's class and am jealous of anyone that takes a class of his in the future.
Funny dude that is unlike any other teacher you will have at Darla. He hands out As for everything. Basically, if you can read slides and do a 5-minute presentation you will get your A. Exams are sent to you via email and are multiple choice. The easiest class you will ever take. He is also very funny.
take him! love his class so much, hands down one of the best professors at DMSB, we need more professors like him at USC, so many could learn from him.
Hanly is one of my favorite professors. There are 2 exams and 1 presentation on a book of your choice, those are the only grades. Attendance is not mandatory, but the lectures and fun and he knows his stuff. No textbook and no homework. Great class, I want to take him again.
This man made me want to wake up at 8:30 to go to Darla. He is absolutely hilarious and has life stories to talk about forever. You will get randomly picked on to read slides but honestly, this is not a challenging course. My best professor at USC by far.
Hilarious and super caring guy. He's REALLY loud though at 9:40 in the morning, but his lectures are worth it. Super easy and fun class with him. About 2 exams and a final project. Easy class, but great professor that I would easily take again. If you are a Business admin minor and you are worried about this class, take it with Dr. Hanly.
hanly is super loud and sometimes says out of pocket things but overall he is a good professor and a very easy grader. The only things he grades on are attendance, two exams, and an easy presentation at the end of the semester.
Hanly is amazing. Very high energy guy that has a unique style of walking around the room and calling on people to answer. Keeps you very engaged. Obviously cares about each student. Brought in a few different speakers in class. Exams aren't worth much and class is complete a month beforehand before you listen to a 5 min presentation by everyone.
Classes were never not entertaining, Prof Hanly is ex-Army and definitely has some good stories about leadership. Class is super easy but demand participation. Definitely recommend
Awesome! Favorite Professor I have ever had. Take him if you have the opportunity to. He can be loud but that is just how he is. Best Teacher ever
Take him if you can for MGMT 371 he is honestly the best professor to take for this course and even though I had him at 8:30 in the morning there was no homework and only 2 exams that were sent to your email so overall I say it was a pretty good class.
He is an amazing professor! Very knowledgeable and keeps the class interesting. He is extremely engaging and keeps everyone participating in the class. I will definitely take another class with this professor in the future and would recommend him to all students.
Professor Hanly does an amazing job of getting to know each person in a large lecture hall and never fails to make the class laugh. He can be a little intimidating at first, but each class just consists of him walking through each row of the classroom and asking individual questions relating to his Powerpoint lecture. Highly recommend taking him.
He's a good guy but he clearly was just going through the motions. The eulogy assignment the first week of class was really cool but after that it was all lectures. He gets everyone to talk in class which is nice but his instructions for assignments are disorganized. If you want an easy A take.
Pat Hanly is the GOAT. Take this man for MGMT 370. I took him last fall, but I decided that he is so good, he deserves me to come back and leave him a great review. Easy class, open note exams, a presentation and attendance make up your grade. The only bad part was the fact I had to take it at 8:30, but he was a great way to start my morning.
Easy class with 2 group projects but they are super easy. He wants you to talk at least one time each class but it is usually something simple.
Best professor ever!
A couple of tests(open note) and a couple of presentations, that's it. He makes a point to get everyone to talk at least once per class that is the only slightly negative thing about this course. Talk to him before class about sports or the army! He is amazing!
the goat. take him at all costs. hilarious man and an encouraging person. wonderful life advice and understands the value of management and leadership. class is ridiculously easy as a bonus
Just so freaking loud- he's from the army so his voice BOOMS at 8am. His voice never lowers which makes it hard to listen- I had to cover my ears. He's nice but also ruthless but in a joking manner? He'll rip you apart and cold call on you but then laugh? Be prepared to answer. Participation wasn't mandatory and there were barely any assignments.
One of the best professors I have had a Carolina. He is so engaging and passionate about this class. He gets everyone involved in every lecture. Provides PowerPoints for every lecture, if you take notes on those PowerPoints you will have everything you need to get an A in this class. There is a project its super simple. Hanly is the greatest!
Perfect for a quick summer class. Not much work and graded easily. 10/10 would recommend. He is just as awesome in person as well.
Professor Hanly's class is a must-take. He's passionate and engaging, with a teaching style that keeps you on your toes. The workload is manageable, and Unstuck AI was a great study tool alongside the provided PowerPoints. Highly recommend this class!
He was extremely inappropriate and rude to this kid in my class. Constantly berated them and gave them extra negative, unfair attention compared to other students. Behavior is completely absurd for a professor. Beware of him! I truly am confused by all the positive reviews. Do not take this class unless you want to be bullied.
Worth getting up early for. Just take him.
On the first day of class, this professor asked students to raise their hand if they had testing accommodations. While his class is framed as "preparing students for an interview setting," there were other privacy violations like this throughout the semester. The class was fairly easy, but he was far too personal with students.
The negative reviews are just people who are soft. You will learn a lot from him because he's just about seen it all (ex military). If you can't handle a little bit of devils advocate then you would probably be better off taking a different, harder professor. Amazing guy who treats you as if you were an employee of his.
Super nice prof! Engaging and interesting during class. Weirdly disorganized so you have to stay on top of your work. He won't remind you about due dates so follow the syllabus. Hard to reach over email, but you probably won't need to email him much. Assignments are easy, once you give your final presentation you don't have to go to class anymore.
Pat is one of the absolute best management professors there is! He comes off as scary and loud your first class but he is truly a sweetheart. He treats this class like the real world and prepares you to become an adult. If anyone is offended by what he says, you will not make it in the business world. One of my favorite class I've ever taken at USC
He is truly the best and the class is what you make of it. He is so so funny and tells awesome stories about his time in the army. Such a respected funny individual.
The BEST professor I've ever had at USC. People are truly so soft in other reviews, he cracks a lot of jokes, but overall cares so much for his students. He sets you up for success, and wants only what's best for you. He's also so fun to talk too! He is so funny and make it worth going to class 3 days a week. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!
overall a really good professor. He just is really bad at communication. it happened a lot where he never showed up to class and wouldn't send a message, which was frustrating for my 8:30 class time. He is bad at also reminding about due dates, so you have to be very up to date with the syllabus. But he really tries to get everyone to participate.
His personality and teaching style werent for me. His class is easy but he is extremely unorganized and nothing is in the grade book. He missed class for a week and a half straight with no announcement to students. I wouldve appreciated sleeping in instead of hoping he shows up; the class was very worried too. probably the easiest mgmt prof though
This class was easy. I expect to receive an a. This semester there were 2 weeks where he missed class and did not let the class know at all. In addition, he takes forever to grade things and gives little to no feedback. Currently, I have only received one grade this entire semester and am still waiting to receive my final grade...
Great guy with lots of great stories
His reviews speak for themselves. He is AMAZING. such a funny guy. All exams are open notes. He does call on people but that's the most work you will do in this class. He does a very good job at explaining the material. absolutely take him if you can it was the best decision I made this semester.
Goat. No other way to put it
Prof Hanly is a great, funny guy and is very lenient towards his students. There are 2 take-home exams, which are really easy, and there is one project you have to do, which is the only thing u really have to try. Other than that I enjoyed my time with Hanly.
Could not recommend a better professor. Hanly made coming to the 8:30 worth my time, and I felt like I got a lot out of his class. This class is only graded on two exams, a group presentation, and participation/attendance, but the exams are take-home and very low stress. No homework outside of class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU CAN. The best class I have taken at South Carolina. The best professor and cares about his students. He is very loud and will call on you, which usually stresses me out, but in this class it helped me so much. Attendance is not mandatory and there is no class except for a 5 min presentation in the second half of the semester.
The Goat. Best way to get 371 done. No homework, just show up to class. There are two projects and two take-home exams, but not bad at all. The only thing is that he won't post any grades on Blackboard. I just looked at self-service during finals week and saw I had an A, so I guess that works lol. Great guy, you won't regret taking his class!
He is such a great professor! His class is a little unorganized in structure and doesn't upload grades. However he loves to get to know his students and would go above and beyond for them. Loved his lectures they were super engaging and would get people to speak.
Hanly may be my favorite professor I have ever had. He is hilarious and makes class fun and I actually looked forward to going. You are graded on two take-home exams and one class presentation. Attendance is taken and part of your grade. One con is he doesn't put grades in, so I didn't know my grade until final grades. I Highly recommend him.
He's horrible and incredibly sexist. Unclear expectations and assignments. He humiliated me in front of the class. I still don't know any of my grades yet, and it's December. I took the class with the hopes that it would be fun and would help me become a better leader, and I have to say, I didn't learn much except that I would not recommend.
Prof. Hanly is the man! He's intimidating at first, but once you get to know him, he's super hilarious. You need to be ready to be randomly called on to read off the slides and answer questions. Our class was graded on 2 exams, attendance, and a presentation. Prof. Hanly isn't afraid to say anything—you just can't take anything he says personally.
