Comment:
Dr. Harley is one of my best memories from college. Yes, he's eccentric. Yes, he's tough. And yes, he's downright nuts! But that's why I loved him as a professor! He taught me no matter what people perceive you to be, be who you are & you can still succeed even if you're offbeat. Best professor ever!!! Literally changed my life!!!

Dr. Harley was probably my favorite professor ever. His class was pretty tough but I always looked forward to it. You never know what's gonna happen in his class. On exam day we took roll for the first time ever, introduced ourselves, and sang the National Anthem, and Dear Mama by Tupac. Best time in a class I've ever had.

HE'S CRAZY!!! Came in on crutches, then puts them down and walks around fine. You can hardly understand him, and his writing is horrible. He starts talking about math then suddenly jumps to "so i went to see this movie and a girl had her cell phone open..." REDICULOUS!Will give him credit, it was probably the funniest hour of my life.

What the Heck!!!!!! Man I was in that class for 1 day, and I thought I was going to go crazy from listing to him. Please somebody still tell me, What kind of ARC CARD is going to help me past one of his test. Ask him about that, he'll explain it to you and then tell you to go tell your Mama about a ARC Card. DON"T DO IT!!! SAVE YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Harley is the type of professor that seems like a nut, but once you listen to him and actually take to heart what he teaches, you realize that he is really a brilliant man. He often gets off topic and throws in a lot of random trivia. Take the time to go into his office for help and it will do you a world of good.

Horrible teacher. You can't understand him and he comes off to be a little unstable. However, I failed most of the quizzes and got a B in the class so i dont know how the hell he grades this stuff

Here is MY post. I just found my grade out tonight and stand in awe of it. Yes, this course was exceptionally hard and yes, he was hard to understand many times. But I did my best and it payed off with him. Hopefully many others did the same as well.

I loved the guy but hated the course. I transfered, but my math didn't & I still didn't do good in this class. His intellligence is astounding & I enjoy going to class just to hear his references to random knowledge. I stand in aww of the teacher but I wish I had done better in the course. I once went to him about my grade and he gave me 14 points.

I'll have to give it to him. His wit is definately only for those who can understand it. However, everything else of his sucks. He is mad at the University and at the students and the world for all the things he can't control. He is sort of a revolutionary except his way of getting things accomplished doesn't work. Get over yourself Dr. Harley.

Going to class everyday is like going to a theater show. Tests are HARD and he is very unclear is his teaching style. If you are not good at math, this is not the class for you. Class is fun though if you are good at math. Does not take attendance.

anybody who is taking this class next semester: DROP IT!!! he said that anybody would be lucky to pass with a C for his spring 2006 semester because he is about to retire and he could care less - if youve already taken calculus in high school you should be fine, but otherwise get as far away from his section as you can

Horrible teacher but extremely funny. If you suck at math don't take this class because you will have a tough time. If you can learn on your own take it because he will make you laugh all class.
