Comment:
Lectures were partially useless. If you read the books and do the essays its a pass. He is a really tough grader and takes marks off for even smallest things that he doesn't like. Although the assignments and the exams were very fair!

Comment:
Harb is a very caring professor who genuinely cares about the success of his students. Is happy to provide one-on-one support in class although, criteria sheets for assignments are often vague and confusing. Final is worth 25% of final mark and must pass it to pass the class. If you miss 9 classes in total you will fail the class.

Comment:
Harb is very caring and reacts very well to participation. Will make time to see you outside of class if needed, and loves conversation. He does go on tangents, but they are (mostly) relevant and interesting. You can tell he's passionate about what he does. Fair marker, and if you prep well it'll pay off.

Comment:
He's a really up beat guy, and encourages discussion in class and it feels like he genuinely cares about your work but a lot of the time he's just talking in circles and going off on tangents. I feel like I would've gotten the same grade if I didn't go to most of lectures. And doesn't really give feedback on your papers unless u go to office hours

Sweetest prof, cares so much for his students and does a good job of making sure you know he is there to help you. Although it was a mandatory class and not something I chose to take, his lectures were passionate and peaked my attention. If you miss 9 classed you cant take the final. Grade is based on 2 papers, 2 in class write ups, & final.

Great discussions in class. Very passionate. Engaging. Could cover "how to write" a little bit more instead of just discussing topics / analyzing readings.

Harb is a thoughtful & caring prof. If you go to his office hours he will notice, he also really cares for his students. He was very very accommodating to me this semester. His grading is clear and going to him for help is always an option.

Great prof. He was clear with instruction and always made sure that everyone understood the material. Typically, required ENGL courses are quite dry, but he was able to keep the class engaged and easy to endure. A lot of the lectures/assignments help in developing better working habits and enhancing our skills.

Harb is a really great professor, I never did super well in english during high school so I wasn't expecting to enjoy this class or do well in it at all. Harb gave clear instructions for all assignments and gave lots of time to complete the assignments making the class really easy, he also marked and handed assignments back quickly.

First assignment, I got a B. Second assignment, B again. I wanted to improve I went to office hours. There, Harb told me EXACTLY what he looked for when marking and the mistakes a lot of students make. After that, I started getting A's. Also, the final was super easy as long as you went to classes and took notes.

Very interesting and easy to listen to. His voice was never mundane and I was never bored. Class time was used efficiently and went by quickly. His easygoing, funny, and professional attitude made for a very friendly atmosphere where everyone's opinions were respected. At first I was intimidated but he ended up being my favourite prof. Great guy!

He was aways ready to lend a hand. Although sometimes he tends to repeat the same information over and over again, he is thoughtful and fair.

Comment:
Sanghara was nice and always very animated. If you asked for help he was there. However, he did not really teach anything. He tended to repeat the same obscure point many times and never actually taught anything about how to write a good paper or summaries. His grading was alright, but his classes were tedious and useless. Avoid him if possible

I thought his lectures were extremely boring.. he would say the same (useless) things over and over. He was helpful if you went to see him during office hours, definitely makes a difference in your papers if you do.
