I highly recommend him.

goofy, but the class is good

great instructor, goes out of his way to help students that ask for help

I enjoyed his class, his jokes are corny but funny. He tells you the truth if you want to know if you are going to pass his class, all around great guy!

Mr. Harris was a fair and stern professor. If you do not do hour homework and keep up w/ the class, you will regret it. He is very willing to answer questions & assist you, just ask him.

Harris's class was very regimented, but overall he is quite fair and has a great explanatory teaching style. If you don't do the homework you'll be lost, but if you do, you'll find the tests to be a fair representation of what is covered in the course.

If you show up to class, pay attention, and do the work he suggests to do outside of class(which is not hard or time consuming) you can do very well in his classes. He uses plain English during his lectures, which is very helpful. A good time to ask questions is outside of class or during a break if you have them.

Mr. Harris is a stickler for students knowing what they are required to know. A bit insensitive when it comes to answering questions in class, but he won my respect. Very nice guy after passing his course.

Mr. Harris does a very good job of breaking details down and showing all of the steps to each problem. For someone who has always done poorly in math, I did a great job because he is a great teacher.

Best professor for upper-level math. He is god at explaining the material. I got a B.

If you want to pass take him as your instructor. He is funny. I like him a lot. I would take him again.

Hard class, but Mr. Harris works hard to make sure we succeeded. Do the homework and use the supplemental information he gives you and you will do fine!

Harris is the talk all class period type. So if you dont like listening, then dont take him. But he really spells things out well and helps out if you need it. He WILL keep you until the end of class everyday, except for tests. He breaks down systems really well, so if you need the step by step help, he's great.

Greatest professor at SCC and the best at math with 25 yrs teaching experience. Had it not been for Mr. Harris, I would never have passed Math. I went from being a D student to a "B" student and have finally earned my bachelors degree because of Mr. Harris. I would not take anyone else for Math. He really cares. Hope he become dept chair at SCC.

Mr. Harris is not for everyone. He gets off topic very easily and starts talking about the craziest stuff sometimes. This really annoyed me but every once in a while he will make you laugh. He does give some pop quizes and a little homework. Tests are not that hard and if you study, it's an easy A.

Very great guy. Very helpful. Stats is really hard don't think I would have passed anyone elses class. Just do the homework and go to the office hours and you should do nicely.

Nice and really funny/crazy guy. He gets to know the class. I would recomend him for 116 because the class is just hard in general and hes a good teacher.

DON'T FOR THIS CLASS: DON'T ask stupid questions, don't ask smart questions, don't attract attention to yourself, don't come to class late. He WILL REAM you a new one. However, he is good at what he does and he's crystal clear. I plan on taking him for 116. He's eccentric and gruff but is helpful after class. AFTER class.

Worth scheduling.

Mr Harris is the best Math teacher at SCC in my opinion along with Susan Harris (no relation). He's one of the few who can successfully teach older folks math who did not learn it well in middle/high sch. Because of him, I finally earned my B.S. and am in the process of testing for my CPA. He's been teaching math for nearly 30 years. Take him!

I've had him for MAT 131 and 132. He is by far the most crystal clear Math teacher I've met. He will explain at least once step by step. However don't ask stupid questions and when he says do the homework, do the homework, even though it won't be graded. Another note is he can be sort of monotone however he can be funny as well. ;)

Good teacher. Explains examples well. Very helpful outside of class. Seems genuinely interested in student's success. A little "kooky" and often funny.

Mr. Harris is very helpful but a bit hard to deal with for some. Ask a question that he thinks is a bit stupid and expect his wrath. Ask a question that he likes and you will get a detailed in depth answer. I liked him.

Has a strange sense of humor. Tends to yell when he is trying to be funny. Seems intimidating in the classroom, but very easy to talk to and willing to help in a personal setting.

Don't be intimidated by Mr. Harris - he may come across as rude but really he's just trying to keep the class moving. If you ask him questions at break or after class, he is very VERY helpful. He definitely thinks he's funnier than he really is. At first, I didn't like him, but by the end of the quarter, he'd really grown on me. I'd take him again.

Mr. Harris is an excellent Professor and will spent one on one time with you if needed. If you our willing to learn, he is willing to teach you. He spends all class time wisely(2010).

i had a disabilitity and he worked wsith me and cleared all my question of course rememeber this is a high course you should be ready to do the work yourself so if your not prepared by doing the homework don't blame him you have to put effott into it too thanks mr. harris

Mr. Harris is helpful and wants to see his students succeed.

Mr. Harriscan be very intimidating until you get used to his ways. Gives a quiz at the beginning of each class. Truly wants you to succeed and will help if you ask for help. If he sees you are really trying he will do whatever he can to help. Study groups impress him try it earns points with him.Awesome teacher.

He is just awesome. I took trig class with him and I easly go A. just show up to class and do webassign homework and you will be just fine

25% of grade was from quizzes which made up a total of 12-15 questions, with no makeups, my only complaint. He gives away a lot of easy points though, online hw with unlimited tries and a take home quiz where you calculate your grade, together that's an easy 20% Partial credit on exams was MORE than fair, which has been an issue w/ other profs.

He's very nerdy but great teacher. He's clear goes over problems over and over step by step. Boring if you already know everything but great if your learning it or refreshing your memory. Wish we had more teachers who taught and less that left it up to us to learn on our own. That's why we pay and show up.

Teaches very slow but is very effective teacher if you pay attention. Hard to pay attention as he goes at a slow pace and is very monotone but very clear.

Mr Harris comes across as stern at first, but he's really just all down to business and makes effective use of his classroom time. His expectations are crystal clear and all of his coursework ties together well and will prepare you for his tests. Great instructor, tough material, but he's all business and gives you the tools to get it done.

Mr. Harris is an interesting teacher. He is very good at teaching for people that take a long time to understand the math. However, if you are good at math avoid this class because he goes at an extremely slow pace; in a 2 hour class he would do on average 3 to 4 problems. Do the practice exams because his tests are exactly the same.

My favorite teacher by far. Note taking is imperative, as a lot of things on Mymathlab you'll never see in class or on tests. Anything you take down as notes, expect to see on the exams. Show up, as he does give quizzes that count. Explains in a very clear manner. You'll work for your grade, but he's the best math teacher I've ever taken.

I thought he was a great teacher. Dry humor so if you don't understand it then you will be offended at every little thing. He will help if you need it. Just expect him to be kind of harsh about it. Grade. Is unclear of how webassign works. He just gives you it and expects done by the end of the semester so keep up on it.

It took a while to get used to Harris' style. If you take offense easily, do not take his class! If you don't mind being the butt of a joke every once and a while, and have a good sense of humor, then you'll love his class. His lecture is indeed slow, he goes through every detail (this can be a positive for some). Tests are very manageable.

He uses dry humor so be prepared. He grades better than he sounds (If you know what I mean). Rough around the edges but I learned a lot and he was great.
