Comment:

THE WORST TEACH I EVER HAD!!!! he does noy help and act as though he is teaching people who already he a Masters or something. And he brings all his stress to work. He even made my sister take an exam the same day she had surgery, because he wasn't giving going to give her a makeup.

Comment:

not sure if we are talking about the same guy. Lectures were interesting, handouts very helpful. Never a problem to talk to (esp. if I went with a specific question, not just rambling, like I heard others do). Read, study, go to class, you will do great in his classes.

This guy is a horrible professor, he should have chose another profession. His lectures are all over the place, he is rude and not approachable. Take another professor if possible!

He was totally into himself. He wasn't a good teacher, bottom line.

Good teacher. Very organized. It is easy to tell that he loves teaching. He used to have teaching assignments at the University High School as well. Too bad his name is no longer on the faculty list at Waybe State.

Comment:

I never opened the book in his class, he writes his tests from his notes. During class he even tells you some of the questions on the test. Go to lecture and just takes notes on his pre-made notes- study those and you will be fine.

Comment:

I don't like Bio at all but he taught the class well. I went to the lectures and thats what helped me out with the tests. I thought he was a pretty cool guy. He didn't seem condescending at all. If he has left, then thats pretty sad because I learned a lot.

Comment:

his notes are horrible...they are very unorganized and he often puts unnecessary information on them. exams are loosely based off of notes. lectures are very boring - u don't learn very much by going. he seems like a nice guy, but doesn't really know how to teach well.

Comment:

He is one of the worst professors to ever have , he talks way to much and makes not so funny jokes. I would never recommend him to anyone. I did alright in the class but worked by butt off, if you take him you are going to be teaching yourself. By the way I heard hes not at WSU anymore.

Comment:

Man talk about having no emotions. Harnadek was a monotonous stiff that made John Kerry look like Van Damme. He should call himself Hardaneck instead. I don't know where this guy got his degree.. probably from the inside of a cereal box... he's totally unfit for the position.

Comment:

He will not allow you to see your final exam and you will not learn biology (especially if you are interested in learning it for the MCAT). He is a complete jerk and does not treat any student w/ respect. Take another prof...or else you will regret it.

Comment:

I don't see why people don't like this guy. I thought he was a good professor, though that was about 7 years ago. He's tough, but what do you expect? It's a Bio class. You work hard, you'll get your A.

Comment:

Knowlegeable, but very unhelpful. I've had him 3 x's for 3 diff. bio courses and hated it each time. I usually like bio, but not taking it w/ him! Condescending to students. Mixes lots of chem with bio.

Comment:

Professor Harnadek is a very knowledgable professor, but he talks to much during class. he will be teaching you about certain things and then go off on these tangents that have absolutely nothing to do with the class. Overall i would say that he is OK.

Horrible Teacher. Does not expain things well. Outlines that he gives you are unlcear. Extremely boring. Exams ask very specific questions. If you want a decent grade do yourself a favor and take another professor!

Doesn't explain things very well, and throws way too much material at you. Every class he gives these notes that do an awful job of explaining the subject matter, they are so horribly unorganized. Do yourself a favor and do not take his class.

Comment:

He has a tendency to throw material at you without explaining it very clearly at all. He is also a very rude, boring lecturer. His exams lean toward asking very specific questions rather than broader, more general topics. A horrid teacher overall.
