Comment:

Amazing professor. He has so much passion for the subject and his stories are very interesting! Looking forward to his 9am classes on Saturday says a lot about his teaching. Very lenient with grading and supportive of questions. You only have one big paper and an easy presentation. Easy A.

Comment:

This guy is honestly so rude. He straight up told us he does not give A's. Class is super boring. He's extremely unclear in the material, and basically talks about his uneventful life and messes with the compute 90% of the time. Highly recommend NOT taking any of his classes.

Do not take his class. This guy expects you to write like a book publisher and no less. He gives "F" on papers and screws up your GPA. A good teacher wouldn't do that. He must be lacking in self-confidence.

Prof. Harris is the shiznit!!! His approach to teaching is so cool and he makes a pretty boring topic bearable. Uses personal stories to relate things he is trying to teach. Take good notes and the midterm and final are a breeze. the papers arent bad either.class part def helps ur grade.Would take again if I could.I wish he taught more classes.

Comment:

Aweful. Im a great writer and i had a tough time in his class. If you write something that he disagrees with, D. Final was unclear. Grading policy was unclear, attendance is a MUST. He sucks. He's dry and boring. DONT RISK YOUR GPA OVER THIS GUY CAUSE HE'LL RUIN IT! (Take MacPartland instead, easy A)!

Comment:

This class was tough. I enjoyed the discussions. Some of my best essays were written in this class. If you don't know how to write properly......you will learn by the end of the semester, taking this class. The teacher was interactive....sometimes boring.....but overall cool.

25 years ago as a Freshman trying to get a headstart I enrolled in Summer session prior to the normal September entry. The schmuck gave me a D and set me on a terrible downhill path. Screw him.

Comment:

Lectures have little to nothing to do w/ the papers & tests, & he is an extremely hard grader. No point in going to class bc you never learn anything, he spends the whole time bs-ing. No one ever reads, & he rarely talks about the material anyway.

Very intelligent, really nice guy. Understanding, not too much work. Makes a somewhat dull subject interesting. Over-all, he's a great teacher to have.

He so extremely helpful. I took him at night, and he seemed to be able to keep the whole class interested even though we were all exhausted by that time.

Really knows the subject, takes time to explain, never insulting. Tests and papers not easy, but fair. A nice, funny guy.
