Ive never enjoyed an English class in my life but Dr Hallett made it super fun, I would definitely recommend him to anyone! He was super accessible outside class and was, in my opinion, a very fair grader. He also gave list of opportunities for easy marks, and there was options of which assignments you could chose to do. Overall, great prof!

This is my second time having Professor Hallett as a teacher, and both times have been fantastic. In light of the pandemic he understands the difficulties us students can have in adjusting to this online only distant learning environment. He's quick to answer emails and has given me great feedback throughout the course. A flexible and caring prof.

Comment:

The semester was interrupted quite a bit but Dr. Hallett did not make anything very clear. Due dates were used from past fall semesters and any attempt to clarify these dates resulted in a vague answer or no reply at all. Very easy class but very frustrating communication from the prof which made it stressful.

This was a bad semester in general with COVID-19 & Snowmageddon, but that took place a little later in the semester. With only ONE MONTH left of school, our class had received NO grades, he was late responding to important emails, and gave flakey answers. He's ok if you want it as an extra credit. If you actually want to learn, I do not recommend!

super disorganized online course, so many things were missing and confusing. nothing was straightforward more of a guessing game of what he wanted. But i will say he is very good at answering to emails as i had so many questions and a good grader and this has been a hard semester with SOE.

Dr. Hallett is a great prof. Extremely knowledgeable and presents a great set of notes and annotations about all literature analyzed in class. Lectures are interesting and enthusiastic but not mandatory. Easy grader and very forgiving if you put in an honest effort.

I have taken Dave Hallett for four of my English courses for my minor. He was fantastic both online and in class. His material is interesting, and so is he. He is super easy to talk with outside of class, and responds to emails very quickly. He is by far one of the best English professors in the faculty. If you can take his course(s), do it!

Such a nice professor! Understands that his course is only one part of a student's life and will give extensions if you need one! Posts all of the notes AND readings online so you don't need to buy a book. Easy to get in contact with as well!

He's an incredible professor. He posts very detailed writing materials to help you tune your writing skills. The questions he posts for the readings helps you read texts critically. I'm very taken aback by my sheer luck of having such a great professor to take English with at MUN!

Definitely my favorite professor! I wish I had taken the course in-class instead of online because I'm sure his lectures would have been amazing! But, the online course was awesome and Dr. Hallett was very clear on his expectations for assignments and activities. Really great course, really great professor!

This was a pretty easy course with good reading choices. There were 3 essays, weekly discussions and the final. Good course overall and he was pretty laid back when it came to deadlines.

David Hallett is a very relaxed prof when it comes to deadlines and he understands that his class isn't the only one you're taking. I would recommend taking his first year english classes.

David Hallett has been one of my favourite profs by far. I took his 1080 course online, and it was really easy. He give you a lot of choice in your writing, which made the course interesting and quite frankly, fun. He is a fair grader, and leaves you with great feedback which is always helpful to see where you may have went wrong. Highly recommend!

Hallett is an overall good professor. He has clear grading criteria and, as long as your try, you should be able to get an easy A. However, having taken him online, I found his "lectures" were rambly and sometimes unnecessary and makes you lose focus on the main idea. This is the only negative comment I have about Dr. Hallett.

David Hallett is an excellent professor! Throughout high school, I was lucky to get a 65 in English but the first grade I got from Hallett on a rough draft was 80%, 4/5! I would literally take another class with him just because of how wonderful he is. He is genuinely interested getting to know his students as well.

The two who gave bad feedback to him probably never came to class. This Professor should be given an award "Professor of the Year" every 365 days. Like seriously, he is "David the greatest"!

Most personable prof in Mun, made my year a lot happier... I had him for 1080 and passed but I was sick the next time i had him, he completely understood and was gracious with assignment due dates.. even though I basically dropped all but one of my courses with a doctor's note he was always understanding. Wouldn't have any other prof for enlgish!
