Comment:

One of the most engaging professors and classes offered at the U of S. I didn't receive the grade I would have liked, however I found him and the class so fascinating I have zero regrets taking it. He frequently tells very interesting and provocative stories of his world travels to keep the class engaging and grounded.

Lots of quizzes and assignments but they are straightforward and quite doable if you attend class. Prof. Harris has a very dry sense of humour but he's hilarious as long as you're not a delicate flower. He's very knowledgeable about his subject, and Fun With Old English was actually fun. I'll never forget!

How regrettable would it be to go through university without taking a class with Mr. Harris! Everyone should take Old English with him. He makes university a brighter place.

One of the best Proffs here. A truly brilliant man - he is quite eccentric which must be remembered (his love of Pink clothing is a clear warning) but he will definitely do a fine job keeping you engaged and he knows his subject amazingly well. His parties are a real treat too!

Comment:

He picks on students, and loves to waste time. But when a student "wastes" time if they stand up to run to the washroom, he snobbishly declares that while you're away, he won't continue lecture. Then he'll sit and stare at everyone until you return. His exam will not be possible to study for. Read the 9 books or risk failing the quizzes & the exam.

He was inspirational. There were a lot more readings and papers compared to other introductory English classes, but it was worth the work. I learned how to write properly and think more critically in his class. Bonus: he tells lots of stories about his adventures around the world.

Mr. Harris is love, Mr. Harris is life! One of the best prof I have so far. If you are serious with your works then he will give you a great grade. There are a lot of reading but that's what English class for. Amazing dresser, I absolutely love his pink suit! I can't wait to the end of the class to leave some feedbacks, I must do it now! Love him

Comment:

I went into this class (Old English) having previously taken Old Icelandic from him. An extremely intellectual man, humourous, expects lots of easy work, and is a snappy dresser. Expect to read and reread the readings for midterm and final (never forget). Plus, if you get on his good side, you get to party at his house in Heorot!

Harris is a great prof! I do not like english and just had to take the course for an eng credit but he made it interesting. Plus he is very humorous! Heavy course load, multiple essays and a lot of books to read. If you don't have a full course load or enjoy english, you should definitely take his english class!!!

Comment:

Mr. Harris' lectures are hilarious and engaging. He is easily the most witty and interesting man I have ever met! Understands that the modern student finds some of his content dry and does his best to make it interesting. Will give you a very high mark (90+) if you work for it! TAKE HIS CLASSES.

Absolutely loved Mr. Harris! Not only did he manage to make old Icelandic stories bearable, but he is also absolutely hilarious! His inappropriate jokes really lightened the mood! By far my favorite prof at university! Very sharp dresser as well!

Comment:

This prof is likely not going to fail you for anything unless you are cheating - but don't expect a good mark without putting in a lot of effort. You can't just breeze through his classes and get an 80+. I so recommend his classes still, because he's got a very different and exciting set of interests that he shares with his students.
