MATH 141 Freshman Grade Earned: N/A Required (Support) 8:41 am, Feb 26, 2013 Report Evaluation |
His voice is extremely monotone. If you have difficulty staying awake in math lectures, AVOID THIS CLASS THE MOST. Especially when it's offered in 2 hour blocks for 2 days. I get drowsy 10 minutes into lecture. :( It's really bad. One homework assignment due at the end of each week before a weekly quiz. Not hard if you spend time on the homework, and read the textbook for further understanding. He predigests the information before regurgitating it to you in class. Literally, predigests. His notes are eh... cool, but not very helpful to stay awake in class. He's an okay teacher. And he's a hunk. He coaches football in Paso Robles. Yeah. Imagine a jock with a deep monotone voice teaching math, putting you to sleep. | |

I ended up dropping the class, not because Professor Hahlbeck was a bad teacher but because he did expect you to have learned and remember all your previous math classes' material, and I hadn't done math for a year and didn't remember at all. A little review would have been helpful. He was very nice though and stopped to answer all questions. His voice is a little monotone in class, make sure not to doze off. Notes are his handwritten copies that he distributes, which I didn't particularly care for, but they were relatively helpful. | |

STAT 312 Sophomore Grade Earned: A Required (Support) 11:34 pm, Dec 13, 2011 Report Evaluation |
I thought Hahlbeck was pretty good; at least not as bad as some of these ratings indicate. His expectations are really clear, and it's just the right amount of work (though it can get a little frantic because you have three midterms). He tended to derive and prove a lot of stuff in class, rather than just give the formula you need, and sometimes I felt it got a little convoluted and confusing. If you bring it to his attention though, he'll make a good effort to try to clarify a point. He does a lot of helpful examples too. If you take good notes in lecture and do the homework (and do it right), you'll be fine in the class. Also, some others have mentioned the extra attention paid to girls. He tended to call on them more for answers. It didn't bother me, and I don't think the girls were bothered by it. To be fair, it is easy to quickly learn the names of the few girls in class as opposed to the large number of guys. | |

STAT 312 this Fall semester with Hahlbeck was great. For the first half of class, he would lecture using his own handouts (which you could print online and bring to class). For lecture, he went over a variety of examples on the board and on MINITAB that were sometimes pretty entertaining to listen to. There were three midterms, each of which was on the easier side if you understood the concepts, reviewed all the example problems from his lecture, and did the assigned homework. The Final wasn't much harder either, and was worth just as much as a midterm (20%!). Overall, a very good teacher for STAT 312. I felt like I used a lot of useful tools I could use in the real world involving statistics, and this was my first Stat class! | |

STAT 251 Sophomore Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 2:13 pm, Nov 21, 2011 Report Evaluation |
I really enjoyed taking Hahlbeck for Stats. He really is a good teacher. If you have trouble learning math, he goes a good pace so you can understand everything. He really cares about his students and it shows. He is helpful in office hours (yes, somtimes there are flirty girls that get annoying, but what are you gonna do?) and if you don't understand something during lecture, ask and he doesn't mind clarifying during class. The midterms are fair (just study the notes and you should be fine). I think what I most liked about him is that he teaches with exaples. His lectures are exaples that he creates that coincide with the homework. There are three midterms (one every two weeks) and a final, Homework is due weekly (usually assigned monday and due the following monday), and there is a weekly quiz at the end of the week. Overall, I would recomend this class. | |

I had Mr. Halbeck his first quarter at Cal Poly for business calculus. Not only did he not relate it to business whatsoever, but he was just a bad teacher. Despite going to class every day I (I am also a dean's list student) I could not learn the material and got an F. When I did go to his office hours for help, he was flirting with a bunch of girls who seemed to have gone in just to hang out with him. Do not take him if you want to get your moneys worth! | |

STAT 312 Sophomore Grade Earned: B Required (Support) 1:07 pm, Jun 27, 2011 Report Evaluation |
This was his first quarter teaching the engineering version of stats so he was getting used to the pace and the level of questions from the students. He always took his time to answer everyone's questions and did a good job at it too. He gave lots of examples, and worked minitab on the screen for everyone to see. Minitab is amazing and will help you if you learn it. He does have favorites though so if you don't like being pointed out in class in every example don' sit in the front/talk to him too much other than about class. Quizzes almost every week, if you know your stuff you should be fine, lowest one dropped. Homework every week, lowest one dropped. Midterms and final same just know your stuff and review the quizzes. Overall not too bad of a class, I just got mixed up during quizzes. | |

STAT 221 Sophomore Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 9:04 pm, Jun 14, 2011 Report Evaluation |
He isn't that bad. Now if you go to class and try really hard there is no reason you shouldnt earn a B. The mid terms are hard. kinda scary when you get a D... but I did and got and a C+ on the second. Do well on the quizzes ( he drops the lowest quiz and hw) and well on the hw. Spend actual time. and cram your ass off for the final.. its cumulative but still you get a full sheet of notes and its not as hard as the first two. Hes an alright guy and he will help you if you go to office hours. | |

He is an odd teacher. I really enjoyed his hair style and the same fleece with jeans outfit everyday. He did take role a couple of times to keep track of who was attending or not. I would get A's on the homework after spending countless hours on it, and get a C/D on the midterms. I ended up with a B-, but it was difficult to pull of because he grades weird. Anyways, he was a so-so teacher who I didn't really like most of the quarter and was thankful to not get a C, so I am not grading him too hard. | |

STAT 252 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Support) 9:38 pm, Mar 24, 2011 Report Evaluation |
Pretty bad teacher... it was his first time teaching Stats 252, but he was so unorganized, and didn't give a crap about the students. Half the time he wouldn't post the lecture notes online the night before, so you can't follow along and you'd just get super confused. It was hard to pay attention because he never knew what he was talking about, and if you asked a question, he would go into some long and elaborate explanation that never even answered your initial question. Quizzes every single Friday which sucked, and homework due every once in a while that were very hard to get 100%s on. You have to have MINItab (only can use on PC) so make friends in the class so you can do it together. | |

STAT 221 Sophomore Grade Earned: B Required (Support) 4:55 pm, Mar 21, 2011 Report Evaluation |
He is the worst stats teacher there is out there. I recommend not taking him if you are easily confused. His homework grader is ridiculous making it almost impossible to get a good grade on homework even if you spent a long time working on it making it quality work. He seems to spend way to much time teaching simple concepts and then realized he is behind and then crams several complex concepts into a short time period. If there is a different teacher you can get I would strongly recommend switching. | |

The only reason I received a B in STAT221 was because I had previously taken a STATs course with an amazing teacher (and saved all the notes). Hahlbeck does not teach, all he does are examples and expects you to know when to apply them. His quizzes and tests are reasonable but he is WAY too knit picky with his grading...he'll mark you down for the SLIGHTEST mistake. There are definitely much better STAT professors at Poly. | |

Hahlbeck is seriously the best math teacher ever! I was so nervous coming to college and especially taking stats as i failed miserably in high school trying to understand it. I had hahlbeck for stat 251 and 252 and do not regret it one bit! He is very passionate about math and wants his students to be just as interested. He really wants his students to succeed. He does not expect more then what is reasonable out of his students and there are no surprises or trick questions on tests and quizzes its very straight forward. He is seriously the best math teacher I have ever had! I was super bummed he was not teaching a bus calc class because I would have loved having him another quarter! TAKE HIS CLASS! | |

Best teacher I've had at so far. He is extremely organized and accommodating. All of the notes are online and he clearly goes over all them in class and will break down any problem for you until you have grasped every detail. The class is 5 days a week, but surprisingly refreshing. quizes every friday, homework due every monday. he is amazing. that is really all there is to it. one time we complained about the frequency of quizes and the next week he gave us a group quiz, credit/no credit. he's funny and engaging and uses very good examples to help you grasp the concepts of stats. i haven't finished the quarter yet so i can't provide a grade. but i needed to put this out there. TAKE STATS WITH HAHLBECK!!!!NO ONE ELSE!!! seriously. if you rearrange your schedule just to have him as a teacher it is well worth it. just make sure you go to class. haha. that's all | |

Hahlbeck is an excellent professor. Reasonable HW due once a week, Relatively easy quizzes every Friday. He is just very good at explaining concepts so that students can understand. I found the midterms and final to be quite easy, look at your quiz results to see what you need to work on, they accurately indicate what will be on the midterms and final. He also explains what concepts will be tested, so if you know those concepts, you will be fine. Very helpful in office hours. | |

Hahlbeck is hands down one of the best math teachers I\'ve ever had. Class was a little dull because his voice is deep and a little monotone, and even though he gives you life lessons and poems and stuff (which are all really inspirational and interesting), he still gets through all the stuff very nicely. He\'s not afraid to fall behind a day to make sure everyone understands what\'s going on, and he\'s extremely helpful during office hours. He tells you exactly what\'s on his two midterms and the final and the quizzes you\'ll have every Friday. Homework is collected every Monday, and he drops your lowest quiz and homework score. I was disappointed to find out he wasn\'t teaching 143. Take him whenever you can for math or statistics classes. | |

I thought Mr. Hahlbeck was an excellent teacher! I had not taken the course before but he taught step by step and as long as you pay attention and DO the homework, he makes the class content very understandable. Whenever I had a question I would go to office hours, and he would give me just the explanation I needed in order to understand. He is very happy to help you. He understands how to teach and he does it well. He is also good at giving real-world and life examples. | |

Professor Hahlbeck is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He has a clear system in the classroom and assures that you are fully prepared for exams/quizzes. He teaches through examples rather than complete lecture which helps with the overall understanding. His assigned homework problems and in class notes correlate well with the tests; there are no surprises. Throughout my 10 weeks with Professor Hahlbeck, I have visited him in office hours constantly. He definitely cares for his students and will go out of his way to help them succeed. Take him if you have the opportunity! He will not allow you to fall behind. | |

People giving him bad reviews probably hate him because they didn\'t get A\'s. All his tests and quizzes were straightforward, no tricks. He goes over problems most of lecture and gives you most of the information you need to know. He also explains the derivations of formulas very well, so you actually understand the math behind it. He\'s also young and chill, which makes the class a lot more relaxing. I liked him, I would definitely take his class again | |

STAT 217 Junior Grade Earned: N/A Required (Support) 4:50 pm, Nov 9, 2010 Report Evaluation |
The only people who are giving him a bad review are people who had him for math 119 and under, and if you are in one of those math classes, I would venture to say that you have some preexisting issues with math unrelated to who ever your teacher may be. That being said, I (not totally horrible at math/analytical thinking, but not great either) think he does a pretty good job explaining and teaching the material. He even does reviews (during class time) before midterms and goes through everything you need to know. I haven\'t had an instructor do that since hs. Pretty fair grader (perhaps a tiny bit nit-picky). Really helpful in office hours. Overall pretty good teacher. | |

Hahlbeck is a great teacher. Young guy who can relate to students and will go the extra mile to help you understand the material. If you don\'t speak up when you need help you\'ll fail, just like with every other teacher at Poly but if you speak up he will do anything and everything to help you understand. Homework is collected and quizzes/midterms are not too difficult. | |

I took his class for Math 112, which we all know is the best GE for all us liberal arts majors because it\'s supposed to be easier than precalc or stats....well NOT if you have this guy!!! good god he does NOT understand people like us. aka people who have trouble thinking analytically, and are artistic rather than logical. He often gave up explaining simply saying \"just do it this way, that\'s how it\'s done\" well i don\'t know about you, but that is not very helpful. the VERY first day of class he said something about not being used to \"teaching people like us\"....well if you\'re a math major, or just good at math then i\'m sure he\'s fine. but for liberal arts majors....DO NOT TAKE HIM!!! he also gives NO partial credit, which sucks. if you make a simple calculation error but have the entire procedure of the problem correct as well as several other almost identical problems correct, still no partial credit. which is BS. LIBERAL ARTS MAJORS BE WARNED. | |

MATH 118 Freshman Grade Earned: F General Ed 9:41 pm, Jan 29, 2010 Report Evaluation |
The worst math teacher I\'ve ever had, worse than a lot of my high school teachers. He gets through hardly any material in his CONVOLUTED lectures, and he seems to teach how to solve solutions one-way, which is really inefficient when it comes to math because theres often much easier and faster ways to get solutions to problems other than his methods... and he needs to take that into consideration. This is not the case all the time, but a lot of the time it is. And it doesn\'t help that his office is usually crammed with a whole bunch of students during his office hours because nobody understands the shit he is trying to get across to us. Sort of disappointing because I actually like math and was looking forward to taking his class. I am retaking MATH118 with a much better professor who explains things a lot more clearly and swiftly, and guess what my grade is astronomically better because i\'m not stuck listening to this guys crappy lectures/in his crappy class. | |

I loved this class. Hahlbeck is a really neat guy and an excellent Math teacher. He explains every step of what he does for the examples he gives in class and writes down everything important that he says on the board. This makes it a breeze to take notes, and a lot of the examples he gives in class show up on the 2 midterms and the final *Wink wink* He also gives weekly quizzes that are not too difficult if you just study your notes for the week the night before, and they only count for 20% of your grade. Also, he assigns homework problems from the book but doesn\'t collect them. So, if you need a teacher that makes you turn the HW in because you aren\'t disciplined enough to do it yourself then that is the only reason I\'d suggest another teacher, otherwise take Hahlbeck because he will prepare you well for Calc 3. I\'d would absolutely take him again if I had the chance, and this is coming from the guy (me) who got a C- in his class. I just didn\'t study hard enough for the midterms because math was so easy in high school. Take Hahlbeck! | |

Hahlbeck is a really laid back guy, but he should be teaching football- not calc. His lectures were extremely boring and most of the time we wouldn't get through all of the material in time. It's hard to tell where you are in the class and what your grade is all quarter because he doesn't use Blackboard or let you know what your grade is until the end. His tests were not that difficult, but he marked off a ton of points and didn't write what had been done wrong. If you're good at calc, you'll be fine with Hahlbeck. But if you need solid explanations, then take a different professor. | |

Hahlbeck is a really great teacher. He's really young and that helps him relate to his students. I had him at 7:00 am, and he was fairly sympathetic with our plight, though he never once cancelled class. The class is very straight forward. He lectures the entire 50 minutes and gives you suggested problems at the beginning of the quarter and a homework quiz every Friday. If you do all the suggested problems and do all the quizzes, you should be fine. | |

Really nice guy. I had a 7 am class so I fell asleep on him often. Overall pretty average teacher. It was his first time teaching and I had to teach myself most of the stuff. He loves deriving equations in class and doesn't do too many examples. But he is great in office hours. He's pretty young so he understands the difficulty. And he's really excited to be teaching. I'm sure there are more experienced teachers out there, but with time he will be pretty good. If you're good at math, take him. If you don't want to put out an effort, you might want to take someone else. | |

This guy is great!! I was so freaking scared of this class, I had a horrible time in 141, and wow... looking back at it, i was scared for nothing. Clint does an AMAZING job explaining the material, and his tests were more than fair. Do the assigned homework and make sure not to skip the problems you get confused about (those were the ones he chose to put on the exam). Instead of collecting homework Clint hands out homework quizes on fridays, two of the questions often came from or were very similar to those in the HW/book and one on the overall concept. He tended to ask all students to ask any homework questions in his office hours, which I thought was better because he was able to focus on covering the material better.... If you want a great professor, and to actually understand what is going on, take Hahlbeck! Thanks Clint! | |

MATH 119 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 4:09 pm, Apr 5, 2008 Report Evaluation |
Clint is a funny guy and is easy to pay attention to. He wants class participation so if there is at least one kid in class who is willing to raise their hand and say the wrong answer all the time (that was me) then the rest just have to pay attention. If you have questions he stops the lecture and answers them thoroughly. He lectures slowly and writes his notes in a way that is easy to follow even without the lecture (which is great for studying). He assigns homework but it is not due, however, I strongly recommend that you do the problems. I did them on scratch paper and only did the odd ones that don't repeat concepts. I didn't take nearly as long as real homework and I would say that it was very helpful. The take home quizzes are nice and really help if you study them for the midterms and final. He gets excited sometimes about some things that he teaches which is pretty amusing. Overall he is a great guy and a fantastic teacher. He made trigonometry easy and rewarding. | |

From what I do remember, he explains problems thoroughly and slowly and will stop and explain whenever someone needs help understanding something he is teaching. There is daily assigned homework but he does not require you to turn it in. Every weekend he would put a 3 question homework quiz for you to turn in on Monday. The midterms and final are each 10 questions, with each question being weighted differently. For example, more difficult problems and problems that required more work were worth more points. Good math teacher overall. I would have gotten a better grade if it were not at this time. | |

He was a good teacher. I had a 7am class with him and i was always tired. So i dont blame him for my lousy grade. He did a good job explaining the material i just didnt do the recommended hw. He is pretty chill and layed back. He gave us take home quizes every friday. The midterms werent too bad and the final was a bit hard. He was always available to help in office hours. I would recomend him if you were interesetd in a chill teacher. I know that i can not take him again cuz i need someone who will push me harder and be more strict. | |

MATH 142 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Support) 4:59 pm, Dec 11, 2007 Report Evaluation |
hes pretty cool. he graduated from cal poly spring '07 so hes very young. he assigns homework, but its not due. its just a recomendation to help on the tests. almost every friday he gave us a "quiz": 3 questions from the stuff we had learned that week, 30 points total. you got to take it home and use any notes you had. he just asked that we worked on it alone. we had 2 midterms and a final. if the final was better then one of the midterms then he counted it twice in place of the lower midterm. the last day of class before thanksgiving, since people dont normally show up, he gave us an extra credit oppurtunity and gave us a fatherly talk about being thankful. the only thing that kind of bugged me about him was in lectures he didnt really specify what was important, like key equations. he did a lot of proofs and not many examples. other then that hes rad. his mannerism's and voice are kind of like a young rocky balboa that went to school instead of getting his brain matter mingled by Apollo | |
