Comment:
Dr. Harmon made no sense whatsoever. If you have never been in a GIS class before don't count on him to explain anything to you. He gets very impatient with any questions and simply is a horrible teacher. I'm sure he's an expert at GIS but he's a horrible teacher. Worst professor I've ever had although he grades fairly.

Comment:
Great professor. He is tough, but I have never learned more from any other professor before. His classes are NO joke, you have to want to learn things from him, and he expects you to do the work for yourself, so he gets a little impatient when you ask him questions. Great professor it is a shame he is retiring.

Terrible. Does not care at all about the success of his students. His assignments are unclear, and he lies about what is going to be on tests. Avoid at all costs. One of the three worst teachers I've ever had.

Seriously, I don't know why everyone is complaining so much. Yes, there are recitations and group projects. This is college and you should expect to have to do work if you want to pass. He gives all the essays questions for the exam in advance and a very generous curve. Plus, he's hilarious. It was a great class.

Comment:
His classes are really boring. Notes are done by powerpoint. And you need to read the text alot. One peice of advice--Always take his practice tests on VISTA because most of his test questions are taken from there.

Recitations everyweek so expect textbook use at all times, group projects that get harder, longer, and more tideous as the semester goes on. You go from labeling a map to writing 5 to 10 page papers.His TEST ARE HARD need to know everything in the chapters and his POWERPOINTS very important. Do not take him for and 8 o'clock class you will suffer!

You must come prepared for class all of the time. If you're not ready to do a lot of work, don't take this class. The tests are hard and he gives you too much stuff to focus on for each test. 5 chapters and you have to know everything!

Easy class. Location quizzes are easy, tests are kind of hard. Don't need to go to class every day, but should show up once a week to get a general idea of what he's talking about though I knew most of the things he went over anyway. Gives easy extra credit as well. Project sucked though.

this class is basically pointless. u dont even need to come to class in order to pass. just study the maps and the multiple choice questions available online and you should be fine. he doesn't try to make the class interesting and fun and he tends to ramble on about nothing

One of the hardest/boring clases I've taken. Not clear on what he wanted and did not give good notes. Labs were terrible and pointless.

Overall an easy class. Don't bother with the overheads since none of the quizzes and tests contain content from them. Lots of small assignments but they are easy like location quizzes. Not too helpful but does know what hes talking about.

I can't say anything that anyone else hasn't already mentioned. He contradicts himself all the time, does not care about students, gives way too many quizzes, tests way too hard...he speeds through lectures. Do not take him
