Bias and not very well organized. Very liberal to a fault. Wants to please instead of teach.
Very sweet teacher. Understanding and gives all the info needed for tests. Good lecturer to listen to.
Really liked this teacher. Though liberal, her conversational-style class was better than having someone lecture for 80 mins. Would recommend her!
If you can take detailed notes from a straight lecture setting, when I say lecture I mean no visual aides at all. She makes it as interesting as she can, but I found it difficult to get detailed enough notes with her fast pace
really enjoyed both classes. took them over the summer. very easy to understand, and very helpful. great professor.
Down to earth, talks to you almost like a peer. very nice!
Dr. Hallock rocks! I've loved all 3 classes I've had with her and I'm taking another one in the spring. Everyone should have the experience of her classroom. Her lectures zre amazing and she really knows whal she is talking about. GREAT PROFESSOR!!
Dr. Hallock told history just like a story. I had her for 101 in the fall and 102 in the spring and she started just where she left off. History was made interesting to me for the first time I can remember. I would recommend her to anyone
Excellent teacher! Definitely made history interesting, would have taken West Civ II w/ her, but it didn't fit my schedule. It was easy to take notes based on her lectures. She is super nice and down-to-earth. One of the best teachers are Harford.
Her tests were very easy, and she gave us a study guide for it the class before. I took notes, but I realized the most important information was what she wrote on the board. The text has all the information you need to know as well. Great teacher, enjoyed her class.
Probably one of the best teachers I have ever had. Great teacher, very helpful. She's funny and nice as anything.
I loved her, she was such a sweetie! I definitely recomend her to anyone! Very willing to help and explain, plus she has an awesome sence of humor!!!
gives the essay questions out ahead of time and if you aren't a total retard is not a hard class. lectures are pretty interesting too
she is a very good teacher, as long as you go and take good notes and take all her quizzes you will do just fine.
fantastic teacher, always explains details very well. tests aren't hard, but not easy... you must read the text to pass!! i highly reccomend her!
awesome teacher, im taking summer class just so i can take hist 102 with her...she makes history soo much fun
dr hallock is wonderful. the best teacher i have ever had on any level. she prepares you well for all work, and goes out of her way to make sure you succeed

she was great! she helped get us through all the material and made class time as fun as could be
I love this class... my friend told me to take one of her and I did and will deff do it again... shes an awesome teacher... explains everything and it makes the time go by so fast!!! AWESOME TEACHER!!! TAKE TAKE TAKE!!!
Awesome teacher. Helpful beyond belief, VERY intense and creative methods of teaching.
Good teacher, kinda pushed information down but gives good study guides and is not too hard.
shes a good teacher. goes kind of fast. but overall covers all information and is very informative! great teacher. knows her info
Really nice teacher, and very understanding. I slacked off big time, but she took the time to help me, and made sure i got the grade i needed, even though i probably didnt deserve it. Did lots of group work though, which i hate. Gives good study guides for tests, tells you exactly what you need to know. Pay attention and its easy to do well.
Awesome teacher! This was just a filler class for me as it does not relate to my major. So glad I took it! Gives great study guides and helps fill any info that you may need 4 it. If you fail this class I am at a loss for words!
One of the most understanding and understandable teachers I've ever had. Great lectures.. very interesting
I took 4 classes with her and she is the best history professor I have ever had. She was fun during class and made the information easy to understand. She seems very into the history and makes you want to learn. Her tests are on the lecture and book. She gives you a paper.

very good, innterested in what she does
Amazing teacher, more than just something nice to look at. Makes class enjoyable and is very clear on what she teaches and what is going to be on a test.
hallock is an amazing teacher i hate history but she is so passionate about what she does that it makes it interesting. pay attention and take good notes and youre fine
i took american national gov and comp politics with her, not sure of the course numbers, but she was an excellent teacher all around! very helpful!
Hallock is an engaging professor and one of the best at Harford.She talks to students in a manner that few professors can. She isn't condescending. Test are fairly easy as long as you study. Also, she gives a review sheet before every test and puts her powerpoints online. Hallock's classes are always interesting and she likes participation.
Absolutely awesome teacher! History is not my thing but I actually look forward going to her class. She is very enthusiastic and passionate about her work. Plus, she doesn't make you memorize dates! =) I don't need any more classes for my major but I would definitely take another class with her!
Dr. Hallock is such a wonderful teacher. She's very knowledgeable and always willing you to help you out with the class. She makes history quite interesting and her tests aren't too bad if you take the time to study. I'd definitely take another class with her teaching.
Great teacher, is really enthusiastic about subject. Took the 3 hr class, 95% of time you'll be there the whole time. 3 tests (not so hard), writing portfolio (3 papers 4-6 pages each) and some class activity make up grade. I would definitely recommend this teacher!
Dr. Hallock is the best teacher I've had since kindergarten. She is engaging and goes out of her way to make sure that you understand the material. She will go over it with you in her spare time if you are having trouble and never tries to make you feel stupid or less than for not understanding. I would recommend her to anyone.
She is awesome. Has a great sense of humor and is extremely engaging. She breaks history into a more palatable subject.
Excellent Teacher!!! She is passionate about what she teaches, and she is a very effective teacher!!! You will enjoy her classes she makes them VERY interesting!!
Truly the one thing I miss about Harford Community College. Dr. Hallock was the best professors I've ever had. Even at the college I am at now, no professor I have encountered seems to have the commitment that Dr. Hallock possesses. I took 3 classes with her during my 2 years at Harford and loved every minute of it. She truly made an impact on me.
intelligent, articulate, and oh so sexy... pay attention because exams arent supereasy
You will not find a better professor anywhere. Ever. Dr. Hallock is genius. Clear, coherent, engaging, completely kick-ass and everything a professor should be. Oh and she's a total fox.
She was my favorite professor, very passionate about what she teaches. I would highly reccomend taking one of her courses. She'll grab your attention and actually teach you something valuble
Such an amazing teacher! She makes politics interesting and tries to keep the class involved. and She is hilarious.
You are doing yourself a disservice if you do not take one of Dr. Hallock's classes. I switched my major because of her and have been disappointed since I left because no other teacher comes close to her passion, intelligence, and desire to help students learn. She's the best teacher ever and couldn't encourage you to take one of her classes more.
very enthusiastic and very helpful
You will never find another professor as good as Dr. Hallock in your entire academic career! I promise you!
Dr.Hallock is the best teacher she's so nice&makes history interesting because she teaches like shes telling a story&make you want to know more. She is very understanding&lenient. If I need to take another history class I would def take it with her again!
An amazing professor. She will get you interested politics right from the start. If you dont enjoy listening to class discussions/debates then this class isnt for you. She has a way of starring up political emotions and making everyone speak up. The tests are 1/2 take home essay and the other 1/2 scantron. Pay attention in class
Very good teacher. She is enthusiastic, she inspires people to participate, and really makes people care about politics for better or worse. She is fair, but not hard. I am glad to have taken her class.
IF YOU ARE AT HCC YOU NEED TO BE TAUGHT BY THIS AMAZING WOMAN! She is the best professor I have ever had. She will go out of her way to help you. She personally helped me transfer to a 4 year school. Her classes are lecture with powerpoint,you MUST study for exams,review key terms,especially. Essay part is take home. I took 4 classes with her.
She's the best teacher ever. Makes sure everyone understands. Exam portions on tests are take home and the study guide helps tremendously. Gives out homework occasionally for extra points. Let's the class debate. Best teacher ever.
I LOVE Dr. Hallock, she is so helpful and shes passionate about what she teaches,not biased at all. Love her!! youve got to take her if your at HCC
Awesome professor. Dr Hallock is the best professor at HCC, if you have the chance to take a class with her, do it. She will make you question your own opinions, but she will keep her opinions out of the lecture.
She is what teaching is all about. You can't leave HCC without treating yourself to one of her classes!
I've had Dr. Hallock twice now, and wow she is an amazing prof! The most inspiring teacher I've ever had. I would take any class she taught. I cannot say enough about her. Do yourself a favor a take one of her classes!!
Amazing. Government is not necessarily easy, but it is with her. Took her during the election which made the class even better. If you take a political class with someone else, you will miss out.
One of the best most inspiring professors I have ever had. She got into the guts of the 20th century history and made no attempt to gloss things over so they are pretty and packaged. Made you do some real thinking about history and it's players. Phenomenal teacher! Very caring and willing to work with you when you have questions. Simply awesome.
I really like Mrs. Hallock's class! I know typically, we think of history as being boring, but trust me, when you take her class you will NOT be bored. She's so enthusiastic about the material, plus she's very helpful. I highly recommend her, she's an awesome history teacher!
Really enthusiastic about the material and really helpful.

Although she is very passionate about what she teaches, she is a bit to LOUD. I found myself having to take Tylenol before her class. When I didn't, I had religion right after so having a headache wasn't the best.If she were to tone it down a bit, I would love her class. I would advise to take her class if you don't mind yelling.
Awesome teacher! She is very passionate about government. She doesn't yell at all either. Go to class and study and the class will not be too hard. Definitely recommend her.
For a fun class, take Dr. Hallock. You will walk away with a fresh perspective on History!
Class time was very informative. Relayed a lot of information in an interesting way. Instructor was very passionate on the topic.
I had an interest in history prior to this course, you did not learn much besides listen to her speak for 70 minutes. You go thru about 3 slides a class. Most boring class Ive ever taken.
She is hands down the best teacher at this school and one of the best, if not THE best, teacher I've ever had. I would recommend her for every HCC student who needs to take a general social science class. She makes the subject matter easy to understand and infuses her lectures with humor. She gets all the students excited about politics.
I had her for American government and she was amazing! Totally enthusiastic about the subject and a genuine down to earth person. She made a 9:25am class a lot of fun. Her assignments were not super complicated and she's not a tough grader. I would recommend her to anyone.
It is a tough online class to take. The work load was very large so if you are going to take this be able to do two assignments a day and a quiz with exams on the weekends. Tough class with a lot of info
Prof. Hallock is the most enthusiastic teacher I've had in all of my years of school... not even exaggerating. She makes government so interesting and fun. Her tests are short essays and are mostly opinion, so they're easy to pass. Her lectures are extremely clear and interesting. Does give a decent amount of assignments, but they're easy.
There were many online assignments to complete outside of class. I also did not find class time used well. Instead of spending time teaching us about the import terms she planned to quiz us on, she spent the tie ranting about Donald Trump and foreign affairs. Therefore, I did not feel prepared for quizzes. Would not recommend this instructor!
Class is so cool. Work is tough but manageable
I took her for 20th century world history and she was great! She really knew what she was talking about and was super enthusiastic about the subject. However her class was pretty difficult. The book is an absolute must to read, considering she wrote it. If you study hard and do all your work you'll do fine.
Hands down the best professor I have ever had. She is extremely knowledgeable about the material and cares about all of her students and answering questions they may have. She is a fabulous mentor as well and is great to talk to about current affairs.
Your main grades are "Thematic Journals" due twice in the semester (one at midterms and one at finals). These take up a decent amount of time, so when she says space them out over the course, she means it-- it will really help. Her lectures are always beyond informative... she knows what she's talking about; she wrote the book!

It may just be because I love history, but I was so enthralled by her lectures. She's also so gorgeous and intelligent that I am thoroughly intimidated by her. In a good way. She says to space out the journals and its not a joke. Don't spend 8 hours doing it last minute. I did that twice.
Dr. Hallock is easily the best professor I've had at HCC. She's very inspirational and always is ready to tackle some interesting/difficult subjects. Her opinion may be a bit to the left, but if you have a differing view SHE LOVES TO TALK ABOUT IT.
Sorry English not best, Ive only been in America for short distance. Very helpful with assignments, easy grader. She is much beautiful, I love her outfits. I love her eyes. She smell so good.
Very good teacher. Definitely knows what she's talking about. VERY IMPORTANT: you must be up to date on current events. I personally don't like politics so I suffered a little because of that. She made me appreciate politics more. There is a code you need for online. DO NOT BUY THE CODE IN THE BOOK STORE. It's cheaper to go straight to the website
Dr. Hallock is easily one of the best professors at HCC. She really cares about the students and is willing to go the extra mile to assist them in anyway possible. If you are someone who doesn't like political topics, take her! She will make it enjoyable for you!
I love professor hallock. she is so nice and makes class interesting and fun to come to and her tests and quizzes werent too hard
I struggled with this class because i am not a huge fan of politics- so i was not educated on many topics. However, she was an amazing professor and was always so bubbly and eager to talk about current events and debates. She made class easier for those who were not into politics.
My favorite professor. She can be tough on the grading front but it's always to make you a better student. Easy to access outside of class, where she is very helpful, especially if you're a polisci major.
Love Prof Hallock! Being passionate about poli sci def helps for this class, but even if you go in knowing nothing about politics she will inspire you. The tests were reasonable and all the other assignments are easy points if you try. I wish I could take her again :(
I liked Professor Hallock a lot! She's super sweet and very passionate about what she teaches. For my class she accommodated a lot but she wasn't the easiest grader. She helped me become more into politics. Also, when "debating" no matter what side, she wanted sources which I love.
I took 20th-century world history. This was by far the most time-consuming and difficult class I've experienced. It was online like all my other courses but took up the time of 2 classes, it has an insane amount of homework, extensive projects and the quizzes were hard because the wording never made sense. Be prepared if you want to take this class
She's not the worst but personally I wouldn't take her class again. The course is organized very poorly and exams are tricky not because of the material but because of the wording. If you are taking this class make sure you have a light semester.
I thought I was taking an easy elective but this class demanded more work than all of my other classes. She takes herself way too seriously and seemed picky and unnecessary when grading.
I don't recommend taking class with prof. Hallock. She is very arrogant and unempathetic, the actual material is easy she makes it harder than it needs to be and she doesn't really help you if you have issues. She acts like she teaches at a university, but she wouldn't last long there with the people who actually know what they are talking about.
I did not like this class at all. The quizzes are so much harder than they need to be, the wording is confusing and it doesn't help we only have 20 mins to take it. It takes me forever just to do a quiz and an assignment because of all the reading and extensive online lectures we have to watch. She definitely takes herself too seriously, so beware.
Hated every second of this class during the semester. Quizzes were so hard for no reason, wording made no sense and was confusing, everything was made more difficult than it needed to be. Do not waste your money on this class or professor.
I would not recommend this course if you do not have an interest in history/international relations. There are multiple pre-recorded lectures a week, but I found them interesting and informative so it was not a struggle for me. Yes, the quizzes can be a bit hard but read the chapter and watch the lectures and they are passable.
Dr. Hallock is one of the best professors I had at HCC. She is intelligent and knows the course material like the back of her hand. In addition, she has no shame in discussing current events after class. If you want to develop a broader understanding of politics or international relations, take one of her classes!
Dr. Hallock is a great professor! She is incredibly well educated, and serves a role on the Council on Foreign Relations. Her lectures are entertaining and an environment is fostered for all political views to coexist without judgement. PS205 uses a game called statecraft, adding a fun element to the curriculum. She's also very understanding.
Professor Hallock is knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter. Her classes are engaging, and she's willing to help students succeed. The workload is manageable, and using tools like Unstuck AI can make studying more efficient.
I took 3 classes with Professor Hallock, and Urban Government and Politics was thought-provoking. The course is primarily graded on papers and journals, but the instructor provided excellent feedback on each assignment. Yet, I do not recommend taking this class if you are not interested in urban politics because it has a lot of reading material.
I love her lectures!! The fact that she knows what shes talking about and incase you didn't understand she will help you to understand it and she gives time and space for the home works! I recommend taking her class!
