Professor Harvey is very passionate and knowledgable about Geology. He is always accessible to students, and ready to answer any questions if needed. He'll greet you in the morning with a smile, and really makes you feel welcome in class. Professor Harvey was one of the best I've had at NCWC
Lots of take home quizzes. He teaches for the entire class period so dont think youre leaving early. Each of his powerpoints have 40+ slides so taking notes seems almost impossible. But GOODLUCK!!
great teacher overall
Great teacher easy class if you take notes and go to class
I really enjoyed Mr. Harveys Geology class. He has a passion for the material and helping to make sure you understand it.
Very great teacher very rare he really love his job and is good at it makes class fun it was a tough class for me but very great teacher
Enthusiastic
This semester Prof. Harvey reawakened my love of science and learning how the earth works. His lectures kept me interested and the allowed me to truly understand the material. Prof. Harvey has a passion for geology and it comes through in each and every one of his lectures. TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR. I promise you wont regret it.
Gave excellent teaching of material. Also was really eager to help students who didnt understand.
Mr. Harvey is a great teacher. He will be the only teacher I will take for Geology. Every class, he made sure that he was ready to teach with spirit, good energy, and came up with helpful scenarios to make sure we understood exactly what he was talking about.
I HATE science with a passion but Mr. Harvey makes science fun! He is overly energetic and is willing to help. Mr. Harvey really cares about his students success, not only in the class room, but outside the classroom as well. Last but certainly not least, he is HILARIOUS!!!!
honestly, i have never been interested in geology. but professor Harvey really made it so easy to want to be in class. this was my first class of the day on Tuesdays and i never had a problem waking up for his class. i highly suggest if anyone needs to take geology, to take professor Harvey.
I took Mr. Harvey's class during my last semester at NC Wesleyan, and I can only say that I wish I'd taken his class sooner! Mr. Harvey is a phenomenal professor and genuinely cares about his students. When COVID-19 caused the college to close campus, Mr. Harvey was great with communication via emails and posting on the course website. Great guy!
I needed one more class to take in my last semester at NC Wesleyan. I teammate told me I should take geology with Harvey. I did just that and I'm so thankful that I did. Not only does Prof. Harvey care about his students, he also makes class enjoyable. He has a passion for geology and always makes sure you understand the material. Great guy!
Mr. Harvey is an amazing professor. His passion for geology is strong and it shows in his enthusiasm when teaching the class. I have never been bored in his class and he always engages the class. There's plenty of opportunities for extra credit, mainly through participation. I would 10/10 take his class again
If you dont like earth talk then this isnt the class for you (lab is included btw) but having a professor that is so excited about such a topic will keep you interested and understand what is being caught even if you dont really care for the subject.
Professor Harvey is an amazing professor. He explains every concept in such a way that is very easy for anyone to understand, even for someone who has never heard anything about geology in the entire life. He is very enthusiastic and engaging with every lecture, and clearly wants students to understand the material. He offers a lot of extra credit.
Mr. Harvey is an amazing professor!! He always wants the best for his students- inside and outside of the classroom. I would definitely take his class again and again... if only he taught other courses!!!
Mr. Harvey is one of the most dynamic lecturers I've ever had. His enthusiasm and energy are contagious. He literally opens the whole world through his class. I've learned more tangible, real-world, useful things in this class than a host of others combined. It's a shame the ratings only go to five, because Mr. Harvey is 11 out of 10 all day.
Harvey is one of the best teachers I have ever had in school. He is fun and hilarious and makes sure to connect to every student during his lectures. He is very entertaining throughout the whole lecture. Before every lecture you will have a quiz that is due but they are not hard and great for studying. I 100% recommend Mr. Harvey as a teacher.
Mr. Harvey was great. A load back professor who cares about his students and their grades.
Mr. Harvey is just one of the most down to earth teachers there is. He also is very interactive with all of his students even if that mean by just calling on his students and making sure they're alert.
He is a great professor at making classes entertaining for the material. Highly recommend making it to every class since it is lecture heavy.
is a great professor and if you study a lot this is a class for you.
He knows a lot about each chapter and makes the lectures very easy to understand.
Long lectures every class. The quiz questions are misleading even though they are online. I have spoken with other students and they agree with me that the questions are so broad there could be multiple correct answers. Tests aren't bad if you study. Mr. Harvey is very fun in lecture but you really do have to be there and take notes.
Mr. Harvey transmits his passion for geology in a incredible way. Despite of being a course that may not like to everyone, he teaches in a manner that makes the class interesting and entertaining. He is very cooperative if you need something. Or if you have any doubt, he will solve it without problem.
Mr. Harvey teaches the class and relates the topics from ERS 141 and ERS 142. This is helpful to understand both classes in a better and easy way. He is always there to help you and explain everything that is not understood. I recommend this class.
Dr. Harvey is a great guy. Easy to talk to, understands that we have personal lives/athletics to attend to. To keep it real, if you don't pay attention you are not going to do good. He sends out the PowerPoints, but it's best to hear him explain the stuff. If you are going to skip class only do it the next class after a test, it's review.
Mr. Harvey is an amazing professor; he promoted a positive learning environment for everyone. He is very interactive during lectures. He doesn't just read off the slides; he also gives a visual representation. He makes lectures entertaining and easy to understand. Communicating with him is fairly easy, and he is easy to access outside of class.
Professor Harvey actually cares for your learning as well as learning experience, and will do everything in his power to help you if needed of any. Will take time out of his schedule after class no matter the situation.
The lectures and quizzes are very important because those both come into play when it comes to taking the lecture tests. The tests are heavily graded and there is only 4. The lectures can be confusing because you have to take notes really on the discussion and not just the presentation that is benign shown.
Mr. Harvey is a really easy-going and charismatic instructor who not only does well with teaching the information of each lecture, but also makes it enjoyable.
Class is interesting and engaging from day one till the last day of class
Professor Harvey actually cares for your learning as well as learning experience throughout the course. He'll do anything in his power to help you if needed, no matter the task at hand. Also, he takes his time out after class if you have any questions or just need him at the moment.
This professor is a good teacher. His lectures are very interesting so pay attention.
Dr.Harvey is a cool dude. Explains things in a detailed way but test are tough.

Great professor. Cares about the success of his students. Definitely recommend him for anyone even if you don't like science.

You have to be paying attention the whole time because he goes over a lot but gets right to the point

He's a good teacher who's passionate about geology and you will learn a lot but the lecture tests are difficult. He's more than willing to help you out if you're struggling.
He is very good explaining the topics of the class.
Very enthusiastic professor.
He demonstrates flexibility and adaptability in response to student needs and feedback.
He is a very cool guy easy to get along with. Be ready to have a quiz every week and four big lecture test. All easy if you really take time to study and review his feedback.
He was clear and the examples are amazing, the lab class is interesting and Mr. Harvey is a passionate teacher.

Professor Harvey was very caring, loving and a great all around teacher
Looks for specific words on lab sheets so be specific and use the key words he wants you to use. Easier than lecture but still challenging. Great professor.
Pay attention and find joy in the class even if geology isn't your major
I would like for them to know that Dr. Harvey expects the best out of his students. It will take hard work and dedication in order to pass this course. Dr. Harvey is always cares about his students and here to help assist you throughout the semester.

Amazing. I had to put in the study time to get a good grade. Lecture are fully explained and opportunities for points by answering questions.
Mr. Harvey is amazing, you can clearly see the passion he has for what he teaches in his lectures which makes the class interesting and fun. The class is not very easy, but he's always willing to help and you're gonna pass if you study. You can see that he cares about his students and that he wants everyone to do well.

Very energetic and passionate about Geology. I wish I liked geology more to enjoy his class better. Recommended
Amazing professor! The workload is fairly average, but the class is quite a bit harder than the lab. Just make sure to study and take good notes.
Pretty down to earth guy, made the class a lot more fun and enjoyable
Professor is good. Lab is a little more work but it's able to get done. Teaching style is good though so you are able to understand it. Geology definitely a cool class to take especially with Dr. Harvey !!
Good class overall, keep up with the work and you will be fine. Good professor, very passionate about what he teaches
this professor is caring and his teaching style is interacting with the class and showing examples
Mr.Harvey cares about his students and goes over the course information in a very understandable way.
Professor Harvey has been one of the most passionate professors I have ever had. I have never been a geology guy until I got into his class, his passion and comedy blends perfectly to keep me entertained while learning something new. I enjoy it because I can relate the things I learn in the classroom to life outside of school.
Great proffessor, study quiz answers heavy for lecture test.
Mr.Harveys class was always entertaining, I never got bored in his class and learned a lot about geology
Great professor
A great professor, you must pay attention to understand
The class is fairly simple if you do what needs to be done and show up!
Literally one of the best professors I've ever worked with. The work is very straightforward and so are the tests. Would definitely take more classes from him if I had the chance!
