I took Professor Elean for Math 31. it was a great experience, I totally recommend it. You have to study hard, and attend all lectures. Homework are important. most of exam questions come for the HW.

Halaka truly cares about your understanding of the material. Her lectures are meticulously organized and she teaches abstract mathematical concepts in easy to understand ways. Best of all, she is accessible and more than happy to go over difficult material beyond class hours. She is tiny, sweet, and brilliant - a true gem indeed.

I just want to give Professor Halaka a big hug! She is the sweetest woman albeit maybe not the *best* teacher. Tended to rush through problems while talking at the board. Went over homework questions and quick, easy tests. She doesn't deduct points if you get a problem wrong she tries to give points wherever she can which saved my grade! Love her

Great class if math is not your strong; she does her best to make you understand in a way that seems easier, definitely would take her again, wish she did more higher math classes. Overall reccomend just do the homework she assigns and try your best and youll be fine!

She's honestly the sweetest little lady. Expect the hw. Its not much you'll have to do from chapter sections, but it does add up throughout the week, so just do the few probs she assigns the day of what was covered. It makes understanding math easier anyway. If you do have questions speak w her after class/office hours and she'll gladly help.

Halaka was awesome! I took her during winter so everything was a lil fast paced with exams every week. She does have an accent, but nothing that will hinder your learning. She's very nice & willing to ask if you help. If you can, DEF take her!

Halaka is sweet and approachable, she wants all her students to pass ^.^ She has a middle eastern accent, so be ready to listen carefully. Light on HW and only checks it weekly for credit. Drops the lowest test score. Doesn't care much about attendance or participation. Do the HW and you'll pass the exams (I didn't study much but still got an A) (:

Professor Halaka is amazing! I will say she does have a pretty heavy accent and it's hard to understand sometimes, but she always goes over the work on the board and is easy to follow. She actually cares about her students and will help you with any questions you have. She gives a reasonable amount of work and her test are super easy. Def recommend

Prof Halaka is a caring and efficient Math teacher. I have not been in a math class for about 8 years, so this was like starting all over again. Prof Halaka will always go over work, answer all your questions, and her tests/quizzes are not at all difficult. Her accent is a little thick but she is always willing to repeat so have fun and get an A!

Professor Halaka is GREAT! I've failed every math class I've ever taken & I got an A in her class. The tests are very very easy, easier than the homework given out & the homework preps you for the test. Very generous and easy grader. Not confusing at all. She has an accent and speaks very softly so prepare to listen & ask her to repeat.

Really nice and looks out for students. If you don't understand she will go above and beyond just to show you where you went wrong. Has an a cent so listen closely. Gives extra credit and tests are like the homework, she will tell you she is not trying to trick you what she teaches is what she tests.

Halaka is an EXCELLENT math professor! I avoided math for many years and literally detested not only the subject but the teachers who FAILED to teach it clearly, step by step. If you want: not to be confused, someone explain step by step, patient, repeats again until you "get"it- take Halaka! Halaka gives 110%! U will finally understand math!
