Comment:

All around good guy but can be a stickler. He takes his job probably more serious than others but you will learn. He will break stuff down for you but you may get annoyed by his teaching style. Don't miss a lot of classes, pay attention, do your homework, and you will be successful.

Comment:

He is a tough teacher, but he will help you when you need it. There are chances for extra credit which are very useful. You CAN'T be absent more than 3 times, if you are you will be dropped at the end of the semester, he didn't tell our class until the week before finals. Even if you were an A student, but missed 4 classes, you were dropped. he is

Mr. Harrington is an excellent teacher. He has a genuine interest in teaching students. I would recommend him as a math teacher, in fact I have, to anyone that is interested in taking a math course at the college. I loved both classes that I took with him!

good guy. loves to teach and tries to get everyone involved in the class over the semester. gives extra credit so if you mess up on a test you have points to redeem yourself. I agree, does like to pound on the desk scares the crap out of me when he does it. made stats easy to understand.

Dr. Harrington is an amazing teacher. Not only does he take the time to help his students where they need it individually but he also goes above and beyond as faculty. He is brilliant and wants his students to be also. Don't forget to read Martha and Brenda!

Comment:

Professor Harrington may come off as annoying and hard, but he truly is a great teacher at ACC. Although don't fall asleep or look bored he does like to clap and pound desk, and prepare yourself to be called on every so often. Luckily there is extra credit, quizzes, and well don't forget to do your homework. Pretty easy if you do your work.

Comment:

One of the best professors at ACC. Yes, he can come across rude to some people, but those are people who need to grow up! He teaches very straight-forward and uses repetition to "pound the concept into your head"!

Great instructor for students who take their education seriously. Be prepared for class and stay awake...or he will wake you. Is very enthusiastic about his job and has a great sense of humor. Expects the most from his students. Will give extra credit, just make sure you are proactive and get it. Highly recommended!

Extremely tough grader. Make sure that you do the homework. Has no respect for highschool/elementary teachers, so check your highschool methods of learning at the door! If I had to take one of the courses he teaches, I would try to find another teacher

He is very clear and the class was pretty good - especially since it was a summer class. He doesn't want to deal with childish attitudes so come prepared to learn not whine.

Great at explaining. Does a lot of preparing for class using his own handouts to supplement text.Very available for help. Not for students with high school attitudes.

Comment:

This class is not hard but you have to go to his class and put up with his attitude. Mr. Harrington is lazy as a teacher, he is rude to his students, and has no considerations for other people. This teacher is not the only one on campus or this world!
