O'Halloran is the man to take for this specific course
No Comments
he is the best.
"YOU WILL NEVER GET AS GOOD AS THIS IN YOUR LIFE!" He definitely breaks it down to the "nitty gritty".
WOW I HAVE NEVER FOUND SUCH A EASY PROFESSOR AS PROF. O'HALLORAN! HE REALLY BREAKS DOWN THE PROBLEMS FOR YOU! DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE FINAL EXAM BECAUSE YOU WILL FIND OUT THAT THE FINAL EXAM IS THE SAME AS THE HW!!! YOU WILL NEVER GET IT AS GOOD AS THIS!!! NO-BRAINER A IN THIS CLASS!
he is the greatest prof. that i had in college so far. the review for the exam is the exam itself. he doesn't give HM. so is the greatest.
he is the best prof. i have ever had before. you should follow his class you will do good. very nice.
Prof.O'Halloran is the best teach I had meet, the class is so easy.we didn't use the text book, but we can fully understand what the book talk about because prof.O'Halloran will explain all the inportant note to us. most of students got good grade in this class. me too.
Friendly
Be honest! He is not so good for teaching account, but you can get a good grade for the class. Why? Because he will tell you everything on the exam. Of course, you can get a good grade. Anyway, you just learn his methods that you pass! If you want to be a real ACCOUNTING in HOSPITALITY,you cannot learn a lot from his class. Enjoy!!! Have fun!
Excellent professor, professional, very helpful and knows the industry from top to bottom. You will learn a great deal.
Excellent knowledge of the industry. Everything he says is indicative to the working world. You would have to be a real idiot to fail his class. He gives you the answers to the questions on the quiz. There is no reason to fail his class.
You do not need the book, but you must attend every class and be on time. You would be an idiot to fail this class, he gives all the exam answers on the review. No brain work needed to get an "A".
He is simply the best!! Very practical approach to issues in class and very "cut and dry".If you want to do well in his class...be there EARLY!!! (his pet peeve)
He is the absolute BEST professor in the department! He is there for advice if you need him and he is as real as it gets..hes like a fave uncle instead of a professor. Take him for any class he offers you wont regret it!
omg thie guy is absouletly amazing to have as a professor. sooo funny easy and hes such a sweet heart. has very funny jokes and he gives you the answers for all his tests youll have to be a really dumby not to get an A just dont be late or absent hes a really pain about those but besides that hes amazinggggggg!!!!!
Good Professor, but i didn't really like his way of teaching. yes he is very easy and gives you all the answers for the test so there is no way you should fail him. The only way you could fail is being constantly late or absent. Easy A.
he is a great professor, a very easy A. He's always cracking jokes and making people laugh. he's a very straight to point person.
There is no doubt that he is easy and all. He is very strict with attendance and you can't be late for one second. ANDDD you can't talk in class not even ask your classmate ANYTHING even if it regards this class. He will be like ,"ohhh? you asking him/her for number huhh?" As if you have a thing going on. He puts people on the spot!
he's the cute irish man with the blue eyes lol. he's an excellent teach and is very helpful, when you ask him for help. and trust me it's best if you do! he has favorites and at times you will feel like he doesn't care about others when he only talks about students who get perfect grades. his exams are super easy! and make sure you do what he asks
I took him for Lodging & Legal Environment & I love him OMG!! He's a very straight forward person, do what he asks and you WILL get an "A", no textbooks so you can save your money, he tells jokes and he'll put you on the spot if your late or if your talking or texting in class, but he's real cool and he's always willing to help you. I LOVE THAT GUY
It's an easy class but you still have to do the work or you will fail. He's a cool guy & has no problem helping you at anytime. He's clear he doesn't add extra and goes over every quiz and exam. He doesn't like tardiness and if you're going to be late or absent send him an email...he appreciates that.
You are not going to learn much from this class. He is very disrespectful and puts you on the spot.
He is very straightforward and clear with his teachings. He gives easy tests and assignments are generally easy to do, just make sure you do everything the way he likes it. He likes to overly compliment certain students. Make sure you are never late for his class and that you always show you are paying attention.
This is one of the easiest professors you will encounter in this department. His exams are very easy as long as you do your HW. His teaching though may not be the best. A lot of times I had to figure out myself what he was trying to say, but if you ask questions hell do his best to answer them. Want an easy A, take him.
TWO WORDS: TAKE HIM!!!
Professor O'Halloran is a respected educator whom has earned his reputation as a great person, mentor and instructor. He encourages you to think outside the box!! As an instructor, he is clear, concise, to-the-point--and encourages you to be the same!
Easy grader if you show respect. Just do your work, show up on time or at least try to and he'll pass you with an easy A!
Very helpful, Great Prof!!! Super Easy A
One of the best professors I've ever had. Cares a lot about his students and wants to see them do well. Always willing to give advice to his students about the industry. Just be on time and do your work and you'll do great!
The most considerate and decent professor I know. He has the best intentions for all his students and he doesn't overwhelm you with unnecessary work load that is not beneficial to the class or industry. Just do your bit and you are guaranteed an 'A'

Good professor overall. I recommend to take his lodging operation class. Took this class 2 semester ago. Just make sure to always be on time and participate in the class. Don't forget to practice, practice on the Front Office Management Simulation student package CD.
he's strict on attendance. Other than that he's great. take him. you won't regret!!
One of the greatest professors i had in my life. EASY A! It is almost impossible to NOT get an A in his class. You would really have to go out of your way to not get one. He really tries to help and if you miss a class.. he will allow to make it up. Extremely understanding and helpful.
Awesome Professor! crystal clear, veryyy smart! This guy really knows his subject. Like he says: "don't let the accent fool you!" Take him, you wont regret it!
The best professor in the department, he really shows that he cares about the students. Take his class you will learn a lot he knows what he is talking about. I wish there was other professors like him in the department. Just show up to class don't be late and you will get an A in his class.
The class is easy to pass, but he is VERY sarcastic that it comes off as disrespectful. If you answer back to him in any way, he will try to fail you even though there is very little work to do in the class besides the assimilation. He also takes lateness and absence very serious, but will allow you to attend another class to make up.
if you need to keep up your GPA; then any classes he is teaching, just go ahead and take it. all he ask of your is to be respectful, take part in his class, and don't be late for his class either, then you getting an A.
We need more Professors like Professor O’Halloran. Make sure to take one of his courses. He is not only an excellent professor but also a mentor who is passionate about his career and goes above and beyond to help his students even after they graduate. That is my definition of an excellent Professor!
Professor O'Halloran is a truly fine instructor. Through his depth of knowledge and enthusiasm, he made a subject interesting and fun. That's very hard to do! He has superior teaching techniques which allow his students to grasp complex information by performing exercises that are fun and practical. I appreciated his boundless patience and encouragement. Professor O genuinely cares about his students and I am personally looking forward to having him as my professor in my future semester.
This professor is the best! You will not regret taking him always willing to help you out. strict on attendance.
One of the best Professors, if not the best, I've ever had.
if you are considering applying to graduate school, speak to him. He holds two master's degrees and is an active member of three advisory boards here in NYC colleges. Unlike other faculty members he knows what he is talking about when it comes to choosing a program that will work for YOU.
One of my personal favorite characteristics with regard to Professor O'Halloran is that he is constantly writing grants and seeking opportunities for students. I feel like he is ALWAYS looking out for students. He is so passionate about what he teaches and the change that he is making in a student's life.
Professor O'Halloran is the very best professor in the hospitality major. He has years of industry experience and he really gives us an insight on what to expect in the industry. He's always there for his students and genuinely cares for us. He always tries his best to help us. If you want to really learn take his class.

Professor O' Halloran is an amazing professor. He truly cares about his students. I've learned so much about the hotel industry. He gets right to the point. The material in class covers everything you need to know in a hotel. Class was always interesting!
He knows a lot of people in the industry and is well respected by all of them. Not many professors in the program have worked in the industry. Many of them are just book smart. Professor O’Halloran, on the hand, is a combination of both. He worked for many many years in the industry and went to school as well.
He is one of the very few professors in the program that doesn't support unpaid internships. Professor O'Halloran always wants what is best for the students. He understands that as college students we have bills and other responsibilities. He won't ask you to quit your job in order to pursue an unpaid internship,like many members of the faculty do.
Love Him! Hated accounting but now it's not so scary taking him for accounting 2 and law!
Take him, take him, take him. You will not regret. He is the best professor NYCCT has in HMGT department. If other professors took a page out of his book, they would be more respected just like Professor "O".
Professor O'Halloran one of the best. I will take him again in a heart beat. Easy A if you just do his work, participate and be on time. He is very very understanding.
One of the best and most helpful professors i've ever had. Easy A and you end up learning more than in most classes
take him take him, he is very interesting . very helpful and will give you all the tips you need regarding this industry , he will get your foot in the door. he knows a lot of people and is very respected.
He is my favorite. He has a fantastic personality and I learn a lot in his classes. I've taken accounting I and Hospitality Law with him. I recommend him!
I've had him for multiple classes. He's the absolute BEST! Tells it like it is and you know what to expect. No surprises. I love his way of teaching. If there were any other classes that I needed and he taught I'd definitely take. One of the best professors out there. Get ya life and take Prof. O!
one of the best professors ever. really made my 1st semester back at city tech a wonderful one. I wish I can take him for all my classes. he is helpful, tells you like it is and is willing to get you to that next level. not too many professors like that, he is the best. hope to have the pleasure of taking another class with him
best professor in citytech, if you do what he requested, show respect to him and do your work. keep it going professor
Doesnt make the work really hard for you, just be in class and you will get an A
Professor O'Halloran is phenomenal. He has so much experience in the hospitality industry and it really shows. He knows what he's talking about. Always looking out for the students' best interest. Always has engaging lectures. I respect Professor O'Halloran greatly.
Here is what you need to do in 3 easy steps. 1. Take his class 2. Take his class 3. Thumps up on this. 4. Don't Fall Asleep in his class. You can always look forward to his class. Trust me and just read this comment alone to let you decide. Bobby told me to write this.
Any classes he is teaching just take him, best professor in this department! he know lots of contacts in this field as well.
Best professor you can have, I would recommend this professor to any student. Always be on time, do your work, study and you will pass the class. Professor O'Halloran is very experienced in the hospitality industry, it's a great opportunity to have him as your professor. Would definitely have him as a professor again.
Excellent teacher, knows how to teach and has a very pleasant disposition.
Best Professor! Always willing to help you and guide, very nice, understanding, and interesting. Highly recommend!
Professor O'Halloran is all about coming to class and showing up in terms of participation. If your shy and a wallflower then this isn't the class for you. As for the exams they are not hard if you study. If you don't then good luck with that.
This is the kind of professor you wished you met earlier in your school progress (he's that good!). Go to class (be on time), participate, do the work and you will be just fine.
Professor Patrick O'Halloran is a no non-sense Professor with years of experience and the educational credibility to back it up. Simply put, show up on time and be ready to work, he truly cares about his students, so your input is highly valued. His teaching style is based on incorporating real life scenarios and practice which will be beneficial.
Professor O'Halloran is the best teach you will have in Hosptiality Management 1105, He provides reviews and answers. He goes over all the material. encourages students to ask questions. He responds back to emails quickly and is always willing to talk to students after class. Be on time, do the work and participate you will pass with an A.
Prof O'Halloran is an amazing professor. Not only is he a great professor ,but he actually CARES he helps you in any way that he can with internships, finding jobs after you graduate and he never stops until you get to where you want to be. I am so grateful to have had him , and i will forever be grateful for the opportunities he gave me.
Patrick Ohalloran; is a professor of all professor'S;who puts his students first. I didnt have class with him at the time; only heard good,great things about him and introduced myself & became a student; he became not only a mentor but a lifelong from friend even after graduating.I recommend him to any student and if your willing to do the work.
Professor OHalloran is one of the best for sure. His respected by students and admired. He is willing to work with you and gives you great feedback! He wants you to succeed in the industry! A GREAT PERSON! my only criticism is I hope he would make the class more challenging for students. I found it tooooo easy. I would definitely take him again.
He's truly a wonderful Professor and clearly cares about his students. However, if you cross him, come in late, or are absent often you are doomed. BE ON TIME. This professor treats his classes like a real job and he expects you to be professional. He only recommends those who he sees potential in the best internships and jobs available in industry
Awesome professor, he will do anything in his power to help you pass. Because of him, I've received great opportunities to work for the industry. He also gives excellent lectures and reviews for the test. Do not skip class or YOU WILL NOT PASS! and also, participation is a must!
Best professor I've had this semester! He actually cares and is respectful to all his students. If you're falling behind and ask him for help, he helps you get back on track. There's no reason why you shouldn't pass his class. Just don't come in late!
Mr. Halloran is a very straight forward and very helpful professor! If you need help dont be hesitant to ask because he will help you without a problem! I loved his class because of the online interactive learning we had a hands on class which I worked well with. Thanks to him I learned the insides of the way a hotel works.
HMGT 4998 was a great class! It made me really think seriously about the way I behaved when drinking and helped me to take a more responsible role when around others drinking. Lives could be saved if more students knew how important their drinking choices really were. And it couldn't have been taught by a better Professor! The best!
Very easy class, You do what you have to do and you pass.
Do what the professor tells you to do and you will pass. Before missing class you must email him why you will be out.
O'Halloran is one of those professors you will never forget about once you take him and get to know him. He really goes out of his way to be helpful. I really want to state the importance of the responsible beverage service class- I recently went on an interview for a F&B position at a hotel and they really liked that I had TIPS. Keep it at NYCCT!
To start off this is the best teacher anyone can ask for. But I am here to let students know that the department might remove HMGT 1105 and simulation/certification for hotel and lodging. The certificate that you would obtain is AH&LEI. This certificate is giving you a step up in the hotel industry and the stimulation is a wonderful way to lear
Professor O'Halloran is a well versed professor in every subject he teaches. He brings in real world problems into the classroom to help the students better understand the criteria. This is his last semester here, and I am happy I had the chance to take his classes before he left.
Prof O'Halloran. I must say he made the class very interactive as to help the class move along well. It was never boring or dull & I looked forward to coming in. I heard great things & wish I had taken all the classes he had to offer sooner. I left this class w/a better understanding. It will be very sad to see him leave as he has much to offer A+
This is the best professor ever. The others should take a page out of his book when it comes to working with their students . He knows a lot about the industry. He will be missed. He makes the class interesting. He is also very funny. I had 3 classes with him and wished I could have all with him.
Professor O'Halloran is hands-down the best professor/mentor I have had while attending City Tech. Not only is he practical and down-to-earth but he shares his life experience and incorporates it into the lesson plans which makes his lectures priceless for students that have no experience in the industry. He is always ready and willing to help his
Prof. O'Halloran's class was amongst the easiest classes that I have ever taken in college. It is not a bad thing that I get to have an easy, stress free A. But, after a little while I realized that I did not learn anything from those classes and was just waste of money. I currently struggle because I lack the knowledge that I was supposed to gain.
