difficult tests, cares more about dancing then teaching
Very sweet man...some material is irrelevant, but the tests aren't difficult.
study ur notes-very easy tests
make sure you go to class
The tests are easy if you study the notes; don't really need the book.
his voice is retarded, trails from high to low, but material is not that hard
He felt the need to teach us a life lesson every class. not fun
Anyone who doesn't like this man didn't get to know him-awesome professor!!!
He tests RIGHT from his notes...a little hard to understand his points sometimes
Tells you exactly what will be on the test and how many questions.

I couldn't stay awake, but didn't matter cuz he says EXACTLY what's on exams
the sweetest man ever, truly cares about his students!
incredibly positive attitude toward life and relationships with students and people in general. Don't even by the text, just go to his class everyday and be ready to be inspired by his lecture!! His tests are straight from the notes.
tests straight from notes, no need to buy the text, very boring, speaks too softly!
Tests from Class notes, but sometimes not clear about certain things. I'd still reccomend him though.
Easy class if you go. Tests straight from notes. He has very positive attitude and likes to teach you about life too.
Absolutely amazing professor. He is very positive and energetic. Test come directly from notes. He is very helpful and clear about you need to know. If you go to class and study what he tells you to, You will do very well!

Great guy, take this class with him!
study guide for tests, easy, but a bore on some days.
Tests are straight from the book and notes. Very energetic and keeps class involved. Pretty funny, overall good teacher.
great teacher, kinda boring, but cares about the class and most of the time has interesting topics. tests are directly from the notes, just memorize the notes and youll get an A
This is such a great class! Test come directly from the notes, and he is very helpful!
Tests are easy if you study the notes, he's very willing to help. The only thing that was annoying was that he takes forever to answer a question and goes off on tangents sometimes.
best teacher ever, plus no attendance, no hmwk, easy projects, tests are right from the notes
he's a cool professor~ used to ballroom dance so he has interesting stories to tell. you really don't need the book. lectures are sometimes boring though.
the guy is an idiot. He makes no sense and goes off on tangents don't take this class take Gpsych 101
Great teacher!! Love him to death. Class is a breeze as long as you take notes. He tells you excatly what is going to be on the test and if you study that, you are assured an A! Don't even really need your book. Take him if you can!!
this guy knows alot, but he is really confusing with his notes...try to take good notes though b/c that is all thats on the test...papers are graded easily, key is notes and turning those easy mini-papers in on time
He's a good teacher but the notes are kind of confusing. Do not read the book because it will not help at all-the tests are exactly from the notes!!!
Basically just go to class and take good notes. His tests are right from the notes, so its not a good idea to miss class. Easy class.
Very nice, definately weird, but the class is pretty easy. At first it seems hard to take notes. But seriously, its SO easy. Its my only high grade. The tests are straight from the notes. Just do the papers and study for the tests and you're set!
Dr. Harris is one awesome character that will enlighten you and make every class fun. Anyways, take good notes aka: copy everything from the slides. Also he gives a study guide that tells exactly what to study for the test. GREAT CLASS!!!
eaaaaaaaasy- study your notes
Harris is the nicest guy ever! DON'T BUY THE BOOK, waste of money. Test are straight from notes on slides copy word for word and memorize and you got a A. 3 group papers and 1 individual paper but EASY! I had my highest grade in his class! TAKE HIM!!!
DO NOT BUY THE TEXT BOOK FOR THIS CLASS, YOU WONT NEED IT! The tests are easy, straight from the class notes. No attendance policy, but again the tests are straight from the class notes. As the course went on I liked him more and more. I got an A.
Easy class and really nice guy. Can be boring and funny. Talks a lot about dancing but tests are easy and straight from your notes. Take or get notes and you will do fine. Don't buy the book- not needed at all! Take this guy!
He's a sweet old cute man. He's nice, and his tests are straight from the lecture notes. The book is hardly needed. There is no attendence policy so you can go to class whenever. Just study the notes and you'll get an A.
Realllly nice guy, and really easy tests! Lectures are boring but you need to go and take notes bc the tests are straight from them. Don't need to read the textbook.
AMAZING TEACHER! He's so great. Pretty easy, tells you exactly what is on every test.
Very nice and funny man, gets completely off topic a lot, however still a very boring class. Don't get the book, take good notes and study them and you will do fine.
Nice guy, semi-confusing lectures, decent tests right from the notes.
Lectures were totally confusing. He went on tangents and tried to compare psychology to dancing (his personal hobby) way too much. As a result it was hard to study. Textbook was a waste of money, he never uses it. Avoid if possible...
Dr. Harris is such a nice guy, and while his class can be boring, it's easy. You don't have to study hard to get an A, but just study enough so you know what's going on. His dancing analogies do help contradictory to what some people say...
Dr. Harris is incredible. Always willing to help. A lot of assignments, but they help your grade, not hurt it. DO NOT BUY the Book, all the tests are based on his lectures, tells you exactly what's on the test on a study guide. Very insightful and kind
Who ever says take notes and you'll do fine must be lying. I have not missed a single class and I still have no clue whats going on. Tests are hard, even if they are from the notes, since taking notes in this class has been one of the hardest things ever!
Tests come from notes, don't buy the book. Class is really boring but some of the information from the test doesn't come from the book so you need to go to class. Group papers and individual papers.
Great professor, very easy. Tests come from notes in class. Don't need the book at all. Gives topical guides for each tests.
his lectures are pretty near impossible to follow. none of the information was in the book, which made teaching the material to myself even harder. take a different teacher.
Now this guy is a good professor. Tried and true, he taught my dad when he went here in the eighties,he talked about the same things. Be prepared for him to dress all in black and talk about ballroom dancing, but it's a good informational class good prof.
one word: BORING!
I loved Dr. Harris. He is such a funny and nice guy. Tests are from the notes/lectures and I hardly ever used the book. You can tell he loves his job and makes class interesting. No homework and assignments are easy. Take his class if at all possible!!
He is a good prof. He knows what he is talking about. He is a little confusing at times and gets very excited about what he is talking about. Not a bad class, would recomend taking him
Very sweet man, loves his job. take notes during the lecture dont worry about reading the book too much. easy A if you pay attention, can be boring. take this class it was worth it and very easy!!
class is sometimes boring, but he gives you a study guide for the test that shows exactly what will be on it, gave half the test as open book, part of your grade comes from really easy group assignments that take no time at all, easy class to get an A or B in with minimal effort, gives extra credit
Lecture is sooo boring and random, but the class is such an easy A. He gives you a study guide for every test that tells you exactly what to know and he gives everyone full credit for the group papers and the tests are half open book.
not boring. I really didn't want to take this class, but it ended up being really good. he's very organized, and provides a lot of good general information about life. i say do it man.
Absolutely amazing man. Has so many insightful comments to share. Teaches about life as well as psych. Tests are straightforward and lectures are a definite help. Would recommend him to anyone especially someone looking for guidance with life.
He is so sweet and very helpful. He really tries to teach you about life. Lectures aren't really from the book but hes very specific about what is on the test. Great guy.
Harris is odd, funny, and easy as hell. This cat e-mails you any update in the class and even sends a freakin study guide of exactly whats gonna be on the test, question for question, NO JOKE! he is money in the bank my friends....and a good guy!
My favorite class at JMU so far. Dr. Harris loves to teach about life and seems to really care. As long as you know EVERYTHING that he gives you on the study guides for tests they're easy As. TAKE HIM!
Fun, straight forward lectures. Even though I was in a big class, he makes you feel like it's one-on-one. Few short easy papers B-S ing about yourself. He'll tell you what to study for the tests (all mulitple choice). DON'T READ THE BOOK!
HATE PSYCOLOGY, but he made it somewhat interesting. A few lectures I zoned out but for the most part he keeps your attention. Really into what he is teaching and if you can stand him wearing black everyday and listening about ballroom dancing I'd tak him
Dr. Harris is the nicest person I have ever met. He is very approachable and very helpful! The class is pretty easy. Write down everything he puts on the overheads. The tests come straight from the overhead notes. He really cares about his students and tries to make the lectures interesting. DEFINITELY TAKE THIS CLASS!
So some people say his lectures are boring, but if you listen, you will get a lot of good life advice and information. Besides that his energy and positivity will seep into your body. It's absolutly lovely.
pretty easy class and he is a really really nice guy. He accomodates well...he acceptted a late portfolio, and let me take a test on a different day when i got sick during one. His lectures are a little boring. He will sometimes do video lectures instead of going to class. overall, good class, easy/awesome teacher..little homework
i luv this man!he is the cutest thing!he reminds me of piglet from winnie the pooh.sweet old man!as long as you pay attention in class(which isnt hard most of the time-he is really fun)and follow the study giudes for tests, its not hard at all
His class is very easy, just write down the notes straight off the screens. He's very clear, tells you exactly what you need to study for the tests, and the portfolio entries are easy. He does go off on odd tangents every once in a while, but you don't really mind. Great Gen Ed to take.
Dr. Harris is a pretty easy tester. He gives a complete study guide for the test and if you know everything on it you will be fully prepared to get an A on the test. There is pretty much no outside work except a few journal entries, no outside reading is needed. Take this class if you can.
Dr. Harris is by far one of my favorite teachers of all time. He is a ladies man, and loves to talk about his wife and his ballroom dancing. He gives you Outlines of how many questions will be on the test and what section. Lectures can drag sometimes, but if you go with an open mind you will learn so much. AMAZING teacher and great person!TAKE THIS
Dr.Harris is a very good professor! He picks out the really interesting stuff to lecture about. Tests are for the most part based on lectures, so go to class and take detailed notes. Gives outlines of tests. Don't buy the $100 book, you won't even use it. Just copy the few pages you need from someone elses book. No final, just 4 tests. Easy A!
Very nice man, very easy A, just take notes in class and study his study guide. I wouldn't recommend buying the book, you don't use it at all
You will get as much out of this class as you are willing to put into it. The subject matter is all pretty easy and requires minimal studying, but Dr. Harris has a terrific outlook on life and is extremely intelligent. Go to his class and just listen to his lectures, he puts things in perspective. Don't be suprised if you end up dancing in class.
He's so sweet! Little old man but knows his stuff. He made coming to class fun for me cuz he makes psych fun and has interesting tidbits about life. Easy A too.
Dr. Harris is so nice!His class is not difficult at all and he always makes it fun and interesting.Take notes in class and you'll do fine on the tests.No final.Rarely use the book; mostly all about his lectures;Come to class, he does take attendance.There are 5 short papers (portfolio), but are really easy.Don't be surprised if you end up dancing!
Dr. Harris has got to be the sweetest old man I have ever met! The tests are easy, the class is interesting, and the man is hilarious. Take him if you get the chance!!
Most of the things being said are true. Very nice, fun class, work load is not bad at all. I have to dispute easiness though. Not an easy A by any means in my opinion, and I wouldn't consider the tests easy. Maybe he has changed the tests since the last posts. Still a great class. Take it.
Dr. Harris is a brilliant man, but his lectures might put you to sleep. Read the chapter before class, and you'll feel very on top of things! Not an easy A... but definetely an easy C for you slackers out there. Make sure you learn which famous dead white guy said what- names are stressed on his exams!
Awesome study guides, Pointless textbook, Boring lectures, Easy A
Professor Harris is the best teacher that i have had at jmu. He is very easy. All you have to do is go to class and copy notes off the screen. Test some strait from the study guides. No final! Makes class interesting. Cancels class a couple times a year.
SUPER NICE and very very sweet! exams come straight from his study guide...know it and you'll do awesome...no homework ever, only 3 exams and a few easy easy porfolio entries...TAKE HIM!!!! :)
Dr. Harris was amazing. His class was so awesome and I learned so much. Really funny, and is always involving the class for examples. His tests come literally straight from the study guides. Such a good professor and really helpful. You will definitely dance in his class; he is obsessed with Dancing with the Stars. Such a good time, DEF TAKE!
The guy is hilarious, and definitely makes the class interesting. Depending on the subject, the lectures CAN be boring, but make sure to take good notes. The tests can be pretty challenging, even with the study guides he posts. The portfolios are extremely easy, but the tests are the main grades.
I liked this class at first but it got painfully boring towards the end of the semester, but the unfortunate attendance policy kept me coming to class. Gives you a study guide for every multiple choice test which makes them incredibly easy. He's a kind and caring teacher who means well.
haha a lot of dance classes...be prepared to talk about dancing everyday...he usually makes it fun though and asks for volunteers, its funny. the tests are exactly whats on the study guides. you need to come to class to get the lecture notes though. :)
He is a pretty funny guy. No homework. Posts study guides online (exactly what is on the test). You don't have to read the book all the test material is from class notes so attendance is important. Relates everything to dance which is funny. Really interested in what he teaches. 5 writing assignments but they are really easy. An easy B.
I really didnt like this class at first but by the end of the semester i really appreciated everything Harris taught. He tries to teach lessons that really apply to your life and begins the semester with learning about birth and ends it with death. By the end I felt he really got me to think deeper about things in my everyday life which is great
Not a huge psychology fan, but this class was fun...he's entertaining and teaches not just Psyc but a little bit of dance too. The tests could be hard, def. need to study. The last class was on death, bit depressing. Overall, decent class.
This class is astonishingly easy, but it is painfully boring. Harris is a really nice guy, but rambles on about personal vendettas for the majority of the class. For a class that is over an hour long, I find it interesting that I can watch one of his video lectures in 7 minutes and get all the same notes.
I loved Prof. Harris! He's very, very nice and pretty entertaining. He's very clear on his messages and teaches this class for life lessons, and not facts. He gives a study guide for the tests, but you should still give an extra effort for the test. Great professor...fun class.
I LOVED Professor Harris! He really related the subject matter to life so you walk away from the class learning something. 4 tests (1 is the final), 5 blackboard entrys. USE THE STUDY GUIDES for the tests and you will do fine. they seriously tell you exactly what is on the tests... no suprises. TAKE HIM!!! AWESOME GUY!
Dr. Harris... where do I begin, there are rocks with more personality than this guy, I took his half online half lecture class and found it challenging... his tests are straight off the study guide but he also has "critical thinking" questions which means you have to think beyond the study guide making his tests a little tough...
He wants to help you do well in the class, he's not the most interesting, and his voice does nothing to help that, but overall a good guy. He tells you exactly what's on the test in the study guides and as long as you take good notes and study the study guides you'll do fine on the tests.
Unbelievably boring class. I have calculus at 8am 4 days a week and I look forward to that more than going to listen to professor harris' class once a week at noon. Class is very scattered and pointless. He gives study guides but tests on the most random little details of them. Spends most of class talking about unrelated subjects.
Spare yourself! Thought the class would be interesting but he spends more time lecturing about how to run your life instead of actual developmental psychology. Tests are rediculous.
This class is mostly in the form of the online lecture because during the actual class he barely talks about anything exam relevant TIP: DO ALL THE ONLINE LECTURES THE DAYBEFORETHEEXAM cuz you wont think to take notes on tiny details, There not that long and you will have no problem w/ some of the harder test questions if theyre fresh in your mind
Professor Harris' tests are as easy as college level tests can get: Simple identifications/definitions and some comprehensive questions (match examples to definition). So I don't know why anyone can get below a B in this class, ever. Study guide is your best friend, only study topics prescribed on the guides, and you'll get an A with little effort
He is an adorable, bumbling man. Fairly dry personality, but he is clearly passionate about life and developmental psychology. Very easy tests, give you study guides with everything on it. Didn't read the book once. I took the hybrid. Make sure you keep up with online lectures and you'll do fine. TAKE HIM!
the cutest man ever. i took his hybrid course so i only had to go to class once a week. study guides for tests tell you EXACTLY what to study. and you don't even need to read the book all the test questions come from his lectures! AND gives extra credit assignments! TAKE HIM!
I had his class on Thursdays only, which meant that I had to listen to his boring online lectures. But it really isn't bad because he clearly loves to teach, and loves what he does. His tests are fairly easy if you follow the study guides (which are crystal clear) and spend a fair amount of time studying. Lectures are boring but it's a good class!
I love this man! He is so adorable and his tests are extremely easy. He tells you EXACTLY what to study, so it's really easy to get an A. He is passionate about teaching, and makes tests less stressful than other classes. PLEASE TAKE HIM, you will not regret it!
SUCH A CUTE PROFESSOR! Love this man.. class is decent but his personality definitely keeps you up. Tests are identical to the study guide but isn't cake.. You'll get what you study for. Hybrid course is awesome, suggest Harris for sure!
im currently in his class right now and he's an awesome professor!! definitely take him you won't regret it at all!! 3 tests that come straight from the studyguides, if you study you will do amazing! LOVE this man! he is so adorable!! def take him for the hybrid course!
Awesome teacher, so cute, so passionate about life and psyc. He always plays music, and has inspirational advice for the class. He breaks the material down into an easy format. Test = exactly like study guide. you can miss 3 classes w/o penalty. He even gives extra credit. i barely even touched the book the whole semester. Def. take hybrid class
He is a huge bore in class and online lectures. If you get through the lectures its not too bad. He gives study guides for tests, there are three, and as long as you study those you should be fine.
I love his class! It's my favorite. He makes the lecture endurable and more interesting than it would be with anyone else. He is always trying to help and supports his students. I highly recommend his class.
The last person didn't know what they were talking about! He is really easy to understand because of the way he formats the material. He tries to be really inspirational and approachable. Study guides=exactly like the test. TAKE HIM if you need to take this class! (hybrid class was awesome)
Dr. Harris is a good professor. His lectures can be a bit boring because he goes pretty in depth and his voice is very low and soothing (makes you want to sleep). Barely used our textbook. Lots of online lectures, class grade is 3 tests and a pretty easy portfolio. Overall an enjoyable easy class, just study the study guides & you'll do well.
I loved this class! I just finished it and am going to miss it. He is the sweetest man ever and really makes class more interesting than it has to be. Definitely take him if you can !! He also tells you exactly what to study and gives opportunity for extra credit. Best class this semester =)
TAKE HIM. ONE CLASS A WEEK. ONLINE LECTURES. NICEST OLD MAN. classes are boring but go to them. all you have to do is study the study guide and everything on it is on the exam. 2 exams and a final, and a portfolio which takes about 30 minutes. AWESOME CLASS. I WILL MISS IT! EASY A.
cutest little man, you can't help but adore him. class is easy so long as you pay attention to the lectures and read what's on the study guide. tests are EXACT replicas of the study guide. he gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit, and his class is a hybrid- one class a week and an online lecture you can watch whenever. PERFECT. easy A.
NOT an easy A! I was so excited to take this class but I will never take another psyc class because of him. I had food poisioning, missed turning in an assignment and now I cant transfer schools because that grade made my GPA drop and I told him that and he didnt care! PLEASE do not take him!!
Please do not take this class or this man! I worked my ass off, was bored, learned nothing and got a C. He told lame, uncomfortable jokes and over all made me decide to change majors. DO NOT take him please!!
Seriously, people aren't lying about that study guide. Do it, and you get an A. So easy
Harris is probably the smartest man I know. I leave every one of his classes feeling revived, more mature, and with more wisdom than I had coming in. He's an exceptional teacher and get's everyone to think. If you pay attention, watch the online lectures, and go over exactly what the study guide tells you to, you'll do well.
Professor Harris is such a sweet heart and he makes psychology super easy. I took his hybrid class and he posted online lectures and powerpoints. His study guide would tell you EXACTLY what to study. Ex: "study slides 9-12 on lecture #2". If you do the study guide and attend class, you'll get a good grade. Take him!
Class is extremely easy. Do the assignments and use the Study guide and the tests are a piece of cake. Easiest A ever. Dr. Harris is a great guy and genuinely knows his stuff. Easy class, take it.
PROF HARRIS IS THE BEST!!! he is my all time favorite teacher i've had so far. He's the nicest, sweetest man and literally wants you to love psychology and makes the class fun and interesting. He offers lots of extra credit opportunities that get added on a test. he tells you EXACTLY what to study for the exams with a study guide. easy A- plus he's
Easy class, but sometimes its a little boring. Dr. Harris is very helpful and tries to keep things interesting. If you just take notes and watch the online lectures (for hybrid class) then you should be fine. He gives a study guide that breaks the test down and makes it pretty easy to study for.
Hands down, a great professor! Take his hybrid class if you can, but watch the lectures. His study guide is to the point and the test is the exact same. If you know the stuff on the study guide you'll do fine on the exams.
As an older teacher with a background in the Marines, Dr. Harris comes off a bit smug and patronizing. He is teaching 2nd year general students, which is indeed taxing to any teacher. However, he tends to have a whiney tone in class. His points are very good, but he tends to get tangential while insisting he's on point.
This man is amazing!!!! Take his class for an easy A, there is no way you could fail his class, he give kick ass study guides that tells you everything that will be on tests, if you fail this class than reconsider college!
Boring. I thought it would be somewhat scientific but no. He is boring and looks like a koala bear. obsessed with "yin yang". open book quizes, easy tests, easy A
This class was so easy! He is VERY nice and an adorable old man. His classes are boring, but just bring a magazine or something. Only met once a week. Study guides are basically his test. No Final. There are so many grades its easy to get an A. Definitely take him!!!!!
Easy class, All quizzes are open book, take this class. Only meets once a week, recommend him to anyone!
this class is an easy A. he's so adorable and talks about his personal life all the time. he gives out study guides that basically give away the answers. the information is interesting & is easy to learn. the hybrid style of class was definitely awesome and i highly recommend taking his class.
Emails study guides before every test and quiz, which makes for an easy A. He's incredibly friendly and loves talking about his personal life and using his students in examples. He can be very tricky in wording his questions and answers, so watch out. Other than that, I enjoyed the class!
Awesome guy. He's really nice and adorable! Just memorize the study guides- don't just think you can read over the material. Not hard and the stuff you learn is pretty interesting. Take this class.
Nice guy, class can be pretty boring. The portfolio assignment is nothing more than busy work. At times he comes across as pompous. Decent class.
I could never figure out this guy. I was not sure if he was senile or just weird. His study guides are not accurate. He tries to make you go to lectures about how to learn. The portfolio was stupid. He makes open book quizes so people can fall on their faces. The class is boring.
What a boorish class. If attendance wasn't mandatory I promise no one would go. He gives extremely comprehensive study guides to all quizzes and tests. Quizzes are even open notes. If you want an easy A, take it. His "portfolio" is silly, it's codeword for hours of unnecessary busy work.
Not the easiest class. The study guides cover mostly what's on the test but not all. The quizzes are tricky but if you do all the extra credit and just write a lot for the portfolio you'll get an A.
I would take him again, the amount of information needed to be learned compared to that required in other profs classes is minimal. The portfolio is a bit tedious but easy A. He gives study guides to cover the test and quizes, but just dont memorize it because the tests are somewhat conceptually based. Quizzes are open notes.
Wow. This guy is really boring. Monotone voice and tries to be funny. Tests are easy but if you want to bore yourself to sleep every class, go ahead. I would rather watch paint dry then listen to another lecture by Harris. Easy but boring. Take him.
would deff recommend this class, only meets once a week and an easy a if you study everything on the study guides.
Really good teacher who knows what hes talking about. His information is irrelevant sometimes and hes awfully boring at points, but the class is very easy he curves everything and the portfolio entries are cake! Take this class!
Honestly, awesome class. His in class lectures are more about life coaching than going over material. I actually felt like I gained something from this class, plus it's easy. Tells you EXACTLY what's on the tests, profolio's are easy, no cumulative final exam and plus it's a hybrid course, so class is once a week. Can't lose; take the class.
I'd take him. The first test is hard, but once you see his format, it gets easy. He tells you exactly what to study for the tests. The lectures are interesting and dont actally relate to most of the test material. He's kinda crazy and talks about ballroom dancing and his wife alot, but he's very nice.
Good class. The tests are easy once you figure out the format cuz all of them are the same. He tells you exactly what is on the test including how many questions about each topic. Class is usually more life coaching than actually covering the material. Only like one or two classes per test discuss material. I'd suggest taking him. Plus its hybrid.
Such a sweet guy! I bombed the first quiz, but the study guides tell you EXACTLY what will be on the tests so the only real hassle is reading the chapters. I really did read the textbook. I don't know if that's necessary, but it got me the A so I was happy.
I loved Psychology before I took his class. He is a sweet guy and I appreciated the life lessons he gave in class, but I remembered learning more about Psychology in my high school class, so I was disappointed with not learning as much as I wanted to. Easy, partner quizzes, his study guides cover exactly what is on the test.
the most precious man i've ever met. loves his life and cares so much about his students. great teacher!! gives detailed study guides for tests. quizzes are open note and partner. He's so sweet and the cutest old man ever!! TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!! o and no final =)
soooo boring.. BUT easy. He will give you a review guide for the exams- use it like its your life support! if you read it you will notice that it has however many questions per topic so you can predict fairly accuratly what the exact question will be.
gives the best outlines for tests, if you study exactly what is on it, you will do very well. barley used the book. He mumbles ALOT and doesn't make any sense half of the time but it's kinda funny. Tries to relate EVERYTHING to dance, he chachaed for 10 mintues last class
Professor Harris was awesome! I loved the hybrid class so much. He gave you guidelines that told you exactly what was on the test, and as long as you studied you were set for an A. He's a great professor, definitely a must take!
He is so precious and would make jokes every once in a while. He rambled about things that weren't that important, but I LOVED his study guides -- they set you up for the test perfectly. All I can suggest is to NOT PROCRASTINATE on online work assignments and to complete/review the study guides in advanced; workload in that class easily builds up
Charles Harris is probably one of my favorite teachers. His study guides make the tests and quizzes extremely easy as long as you prepare for them. He is extremely sweet & helpful as well. I would recommend this course for anybody looking for an easy A. Plus his class meets only once a week. Excellent choice.
TAKE THIS CLASS! It is so easy. He gives you everything you need to know for the test and quizzes. Attendance is mandatory and class is pointless to go to but just force yourself to go. You need to study for everything if you dont then you wont get good grades
the most boring and easy class you will ever take. you will not regret doing the hybrid. having it once a week i almost forget i'm even in the class. there is hardly any work besides 15 min online lectures. haven't cracked open my book once and have maintained a very high B all semester!! TAKE THIS CLASS.
He was an amazing teacher! He cares about his students and is a great teacher! The class is extremely easy! I had him for the hybrid class and it was fantastic! Make sure to take him
Take this teacher! He is the nicest and cutest old man. He is really passionate for what he teaches and class was only once per week and did not really have to watch online lectures. On the study guide he tells you EXACTLY what will be on the test. Little effort for an A and great GPA booster.
His study guides are the key to getting an A on the tests and quizes. This was also a pretty interesting class and Harris has a pretty good sense of humor for a 70+ year old.
If you study, and basically memorize, exactly what is on the study guides you will do well on the tests. He believes in actually learning the material for your own knowledge and doesn't want to mess with your grade. Very sweet man. An easy A class.
I look this class online over the summer. It was seriously do easy but I learned a lot. His lectures and easy to navigate and the tests come directly from them and the book. If you do basic work you can get an A and still get a lot out of the class.
His class is easy, however horribly disorganized. Assignments routinely appear with no warning. You are held responsible for anything posted in any remote part of blackboard. Mind you he has little 15 different tabs on his blackboard page, any of which could contain an assignment. I would not take his class if I had known how it would be run.
Having this class as a hybrid class was horrible. Although it is nice to only meet once a week, the online lectures are boring and hard to stay focused on. Super sweet guy and he cares about what he is teaching, but there will be little details in class that will be on the tests, so pay attention. Not too hard to get an A, but takes preparation
Took it as a hybrid course which means you have it once a week. You are supposed to view the online lectures but you can get away without it. His study guides are EXTREMELY helpful. Like mentioned, he does have some assignments that pop up out of nowhere. Easy class just pay attention and take good notes.
This is a difficult class if you have no experience with psychology prior to taking it. Professor Harris says that he wants you to know concepts and not to memorize, but his exams are basically all vocabulary. If you memorize his study guides, you will do fine. Study hard for the final, it is much more difficult than his other exams.
Mr. Harris gives great examples in class to understand material. He tells you exactly what you will be tested on, which really helps when studying, because you know you won't be wasting your time studying information you don't need to know for tests. It's easy to get an A or high B. He's funny and makes the class interesting & worth going to.
Nice guy, easy exams, easy material, boring class
Lectures tend to become unorganized and off topic. In-class lectures seem like a waste at some times. Test material is directly off the reviews he provides. However, tests do include information that is not covered in class, such as religions. Two short papers are required as well as several short surveys. Class meets once a week.
This class is the easiest gen-ed. Half of it is "online" through web lectures and the other 1/2 is once a week in class. He tells you exactly what will be on the quizzes and tests and his 3 mini projects are easy way to gain points in the class. The online web lectures you do not even have to watch unless they are on the study guides. Take him!
Class is mostly pointless and boring but attendance is mandatory. Gives study guides so you know exactly what will be on the quizzes and tests. 2 papers, 2 surveys, and you have to earn 3 points through participation in research projects. Gives extra credit opportunities. Easy B but terribly boring classes
Easiest class ever. Got 100 on the final. He literally tells you what will be on the tests. Meets once a week and everything is online, which can be confusing, but it's worth it. He takes attendance, but you can honestly leave right after he does. He's kinda weird, but the easy grade is worth it.
Don't take this class. It's extremely boring which makes it that much harder to retain the information.
I really enjoyed this class overall, mainly because it was online. sometimes going seemed a little pointless but the professor truly cares and is passionate about the subject. I would highly recommend! very sweet man & not a ton of work!
Professor Harris is honestly the best teacher ever. I got into his class the day before because there was an opening and am so glad I did. He is really passionate and interested about bettering his students. His study guides tell you exactly what will be on the exam or quizzes. You have the freedom to do the online portion whenever you want. TAKE
This class was a hybrid course for me (met once a week, most of everything else was online). Great professor and great class. Definitely take him if you can!
If you guys get anything lower than a B+ you guys are pretty dumb... This is the easiest class I've taken at JMU.
This class was SO BORING and not easy. His tests are extremely straight forward so if you don't study the right information, you won't do well.
EASY class! Attended class once a week. Gave study guides. Study guides is the EXACT information on the exams/quizzes. 3 exams, 4 quizzes. Offers 10 extra credit points! 2 mini projects that are really EASY! over all EASY class! TAKE CHARLES HARRIS!!!!!!
Easiest class at JMU by far.Only 4 tests and 3 quizzes and he tells you EXACTLY what will be on it! Although the lectures are boring you only need to meet once a week which makes it bearable to sit through. TAKE THIS CLASS!
His class will help you in LIFE. Would take him every semester if i could.
Has to be the best class I have. Would take him again in a heartbeat!! He tells you exactly what will be on the tests and quizzes. Only meet once a week and the online stuff is not hard. Have to write a few papers which is not bad. Passed his class with flying colors. Would recommend him to anyone.
His lectures are borrrinnggg..... but the class is super easy, he gives an test replica review sheet for every test, study those and it's an easy A!
His lectures can be really boring, but since it's a hybrid class it's tolerable and you should still go. He gives you study guides for every quiz and test so it's easy to do well. There are 4 tests total including the final, if you show up and follow the study guides you can get an A.
Despite the off topic, terrible lectures, the in class portion of the hybrid course was tolerable with snapchat's help. The tests and quizzes are word for word from the study guide so learn that and you'll pass the class easy.
Only takes attendance once the whole semester. Must go to class for quizzes and tests. Some assignments like concept maps, online surveys and quick papers. Easy class and he makes everything very interesting! Take this class.
He is a nice guy who takes the time to really engage those who want to learn. He gives some great advice and really takes the time to make the material relateable to you. You would need to be one BAD student not to be able to get at least a C, and even so a C is flat out laziness. His tests can be hard but in no way impossible.
The class is pretty straight forward. He lays out everything you need to do for the whole semester and everything that will be on each test. This is great and I wish more teachers were like this. Unfortunately, teacher's aren't like this because students abuse this. If you take this class, be respectful or he will stop this teaching style!!!!
He tells you exactly what to do for every test, quiz, and project. Not a hard grader, but if you slack your grade will reflect it. Prepare for the assignments and tests and you'll do well. Very nice man, kind of acts like a preacher.
I took his hybrid course and got an easy A. Harris is a sweet, old man who won't hesitate to help you. Did I mention he dances? Most of his lectures consist of him going off on tangents--they're meaningful but not necessarily on quizzes and tests. PAY ATTENTION to his online lectures and make sure to take notes since that's what's on the tests.
I had his class once a week and even some classes were canceled for some online assignment that's due. I never paid attention to his lectures but he seems like a really sweet old man. He tells you exactly what's going to be on quizzes and tests via Canvas so just study that and you'll get an A. Does take attendance for participation.
Harris is SO sweet. I took it as a hybrid class so I learned almost everything from the online lectures. His actual classroom lectures weren't really about the material, just him going off on certain "life" lessons but takes attendance for points. Really nice and understanding, easy A.
Hybrid class, you meet once a week So easy Gives study guides that include everything on the tests
Professor Harris is such a kind guy. He really focuses on wanting his students to get something out of his class rather than just doing the minimum. He is really inspirational and motivating. I liked him a lot. Very clear about what he expects grade-wise. Tells you EXACTLY what's on the tests. Hybrid course - we meet once a week. Loved him. So easy
The hybrid GPSYCH 160 was an easy A. He gives study guides for each test and quiz outlining exactly what you need to know. I basically only showed up to class to take the quizzes and tests and got an A easily. Lots of extra credit opportunities.
Charles Harris is a really awesome professor. He's super passionate about his class and really wants you to get something out of it. You can miss a few classes without suffering lots. He tells you exactly what's going to be on each quiz and test. THIS DOESN'T MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE TO STUDY. DO STUDY. You'll get an A no problem
This man give your study guides for every single quiz and test. I only had two classes the whole year that didn't have a quiz but when I tell you he gives you study guides, he literally tells you everything that will be on it. If you don't get an A then you didn't look at the study guides.
PSYC 160 with Harris is hybrid so we only met every Monday and most lectures were online. Usually had a 15 question quiz each class but he posts study guides that are pretty straight forward of what you need to know. Not really any homework besides watching the lectures and studying aside from a 4 page paper that was easy and worth minimal points.
He is a very nice guy. He puts out quiz and test review guides that tell you exactly what you have to study and they are incredibly helpful.
Dr. Harris is a very cute old man. His lectures in class tend to wander off topic, but be sure to keep up with the online lectures that he posts. Quizzes and exams are pretty straight forward, he supplies a detailed study guide. Be sure to use this study guide, it helps a ton!! Studying is necessary but the quizzes and exams aren't too difficult.
He is very sweet and loves what he does. You should take this class.
Most adorable little man ever and soo nice! Easiest class ever-always posts exactly what's on the quizzes/tests and don't really need to do hw (besides the study guides) to pass. Offers easy extra credit but you prob won't need it. DEFINITELY TAKE HIM-soo understanding and nice. I always enjoy his class and all his students LOVE him.
Harris loves teaching this class, and it shows! He's a sweet old man who is mostly concerned with what you take away from his class (and ballroom dancing), not how much info you can regurgitate on an exam. He only tests on what he thinks is beneficial outside of the classroom and gives clear cut study guides and online lectures.
Very easy class. I was in the hybrid course so we only met once a week. There are quizzes just about every week so it's important to attend class but he posts EXACTLY what is going to be on each quiz. 5 quizzes, a midterm, a short paper, and a final are the only grades. He wants everyone to do well! I would highly recommend taking him.
Very easy class! If you're in the hybrid class you only meet once a week. There are usually quizzes every meeting time but he gives you an outline of exactly what is on the quiz! There is very minimal outside work other than studying, but if you take notes in class and pay attention to his lectures than you should get an easy A! Take his class!
Funny guy, great teacher. Took his hybrid class so only had one lecture a week in person. He took attendance maybe twice all semester, and lets you make up quizzes you missed. He posts study guides online that tell you exactly what's going to be on the quizzes/exams so if you don't get at least a B I have no sympathy for you. TAKE HIM!
Take him!! I wish I could've had him again, his lectures are great and easy to follow because he relates actual matters and sometimes with his own life stories to the subject. I went to class because I enjoyed it.
Took the hybrid class and honestly have to say it was the easiest class I've taken. All you have to do is watch the web lectures and use the study guides before any quiz or midterm/final. Saved my ass on those. Only once a week which is nice. He's pretty funny, and very very old. Lectures can get boring. Take notes (whatever is written on board)
Charles Harris is darling. He is such a lovable man. Hybrid class and I loved it; only met once a week. Lectures didn't really match up with readings. His lectures were more inspirational/life talks. Study guides were pretty much verbatim to the quizzes and final. Very passable class.
Such an easy class with interesting material and a great and experienced professor. I learned so much all while making new friends and getting a good grade. Such a nice guy who really cares about his students and the subject. 10/10 would recommend, anyone who says otherwise either didn't show up to class, or rated the wrong professor.
he was extremely nice and each lecture was basically just life lessons. i took the hybrid class and it was very easy. he gives extra credit and tells you exactly which questions will be on the tests and quizzes. i would take this class again.
Dr. Harris is a super sweet man! I was super worried about taking a hybrid class but it worked out really well! His lectures seem sort of tangential at first but at the end you realize that he's worked the material into a life lesson. He lays out all the assessments in great detail and gives good E.C. opportunities. Since class is only 1x/week, go!
I found this class to be very interesting. The workload isn't bad. If you follow his review guides and study, you will do very well. Show up to every class, because he will randomly throw in extra credit.
Professor Harris is such a great professor and he wants you to do well in his class. Definitely take the hybrid class!
Harris is a really really nice guy But his lectures can be a bit boring, and he can be a bit hard to understand He knows a lot about psychology and has some pretty strong opinions Class is well structured and he tells you what he expects from you Gives extra credit
I took the hybrid class which was half online and half in class. It was a really easy class and if you take good notes you will do extremely well. I got a 102% because of so much extra credit.
Professor Harris is a really great guy! I took him for an online class and he communicates well with his students. His test are word for word from his test review, text book, and slide shows. As long as you take notes on the test review you should get an A on all of his test. He doesnt waste your time and make you do useless assignments.
Professor Harris is the cutest old man I have ever met. He is really sweet and makes class really enjoyable. I took the hybrid version of his class and we only met once a week, so we had a test or quiz almost every class. However, he gives quiz/test review guides that really help you get good grades. There's also one paper, but nothing that bad.
Go to class, he gives a quiz almost every week, but they are very easy if you prepare! This was the best class I've ever taken. Don't let "hybrid" scare you, it is very easy as long as you watch the web lectures and attend class. Prof Harris is so nice and really cares. listen to what he says, he really has wise words.
such a cute old man. super easy class if you just study exactly what he gives you on the study guide. i forgot i was even in this class sometimes. got an A on almost every test. do the study guides and youll get an A
Professor Harris is super adorable. His class is super easy, I honestly don't know how you could get lower than a B. There are quizzes every week but the study guides he posts online have all the questions. Same with the tests, just study and you will get an A. The class is hybrid but there is honestly no work outside class except to study.
Easiest class ever. Took the hybrid version and you read a few tables or pages in textbook and listen to his web lecture before class once a week and take a quiz or test. He gives very detailed study guides so it's impossible to fail. Recommend going to class when there isn't quizzes (most skip) bc he is so funny and adorable.
Dr. Harris is a great man. He is very calm and caring about everything and everyone around him. He gives you study guides for all of the tests and quizzes, along with outlines for the few reports. He just wants to see everyone succeed. Just beware of terms; most of the tests and quizzes are very specific so study and read the tests carefully
Charles Harris is a good teacher. The class was hybrid, half online. He gives quiz study guides and the information on the quizzes is exactly what was on the study guide. You will need to use the textbook. His lectures are dry and the tests are very difficult. Definitely study for this course.
People take this class and expect to do no work and get an A. No college class is like that, you do have to put in some work. Harris puts up a study guide for every quiz and test that literally tells you exactly what is going to be on his exams. People who don't do well just don't try or put in the effort. He also offers extra credit opportunities!
He taught me how to study efficiently and now I pass tests in all my classes
Harris's hybrid course is really really simplistic and meets once a week, which is great to clear up busy schedules. Clear study guides and online lectures do well to prepare you for tests. Just stick to the study guides, and if your grade needs a little extra help, extra credit is provided
Dr. Harris is a very sweet old man. One time he gave everybody 10 extra points for no reason on a test just because genuinely wants everybody to do well in his class. Gives a couple quizzes before each test and the questions are the same. His study guides and quizzes are his tests and only assigns one paper.
Based on reviews on this site, I went into this class thinking it was an easy A. This class is easy in the sense that he gives study guides for quizzes and tests and gives extra credit, but his tests are HARD. You really need to study efficiently for his tests to get a good grade. Sweet man who cares about his students & loves to give life lessons.
This class is an easy A if you utilize the resources provided. For every quiz/test there is a study guide that tells you exactly what you need to know and where to find the information. Lectures are incredibly dry though, he's a soft speaker and often repeats what we already did online. I really struggled to pay attention! Still, would recommend.
This was a pretty easy class. I studied the day of for most tests and wound up with an A. He offers extra credit, but most of the time you need to be in class to get it. He gives study guides for everything so just do that(really unnecessary to do anything else). I found the class to be extremely boring but that's just me. Would recommend him tho
He is the best teacher ever. Really cares about his students, and lays out exactly what he expects from you. As long as you do the study guides you will get an A. Also offers extra credit. Must take, best Gen Ed ever!!
He is a great professor but his lectures really do not help with the tests. He gives a lot of quizzes so you need to go to basically every class for those. His tests are hard but he gives a study guide and if you actually take time to study you can get an A. It's important to watch the lectures he posts online too
Dr. Harris was awesome! His classes were very entertaining and he clearly laid out what would be on each test and quiz. Highly recommend taking this class!
Class is a little bit harder then people have made it out to be, easy, but still easy work. Go on quizlet to find quiz material study guides. Also, the classes you don't have a quiz or test will most likely there will be extra credit given. Highly recommend for an easy gened. Didn't have to work too hard for an A.
This class is extremely easy. He gives a study guide for every quiz and test that tells you exactly what you need to know and that is all your grade is. He also gives a lot of extra credit that he will add at the end of the semester. Easy A if you put in the minimal amount of work.
Dr. Harris is amazing. This class is an easy A if you put it minimal effort. There are study guides for each test and you can basically predict the actual questions he will ask. He gives so much extra credit so go to class even when there isn't a quiz. He's so cute and sweet! I ended with a 102% in the class, definitely recommend him!
Sweet man, clear lectures. Its a hybrid class so it only met once a week which was awesome. If you're good at straight memorization this will be easy for you, he tells you EXACTLY what you need to know on the test. There is a 4 page paper, don't be caught off guard and give yourself enough time because it's SINGLE SPACED.
his voice will literally put you to sleep, only meet once a week so its easy to forget about the class. despite being easy i wouldn't take it again because it is so unbelievably hard to pay attention because of his monotone voice.
meet once a week so its super nice. every week there is a quiz, then 3rd week is a test. review guides are straight forward. use quizlet every time.
This class was very straightforward. Every quiz or test had a study guide and I knew what was to be expected. We only met once a week, which was really nice. This class should be an easy A if you actually look at the study guides and prepare. Professor Harris is a very sweet man and I would definitely take him again if I could!
Professor Harris is very straightforward with his study guides for tests and quizzes. This class was a hybrid course and only met once a week, but I'd definitely recommend it. It is an easy A as long as you study. Class can be boring and painful to get through at times, but overall he is a very nice and caring man!
We meet once a week and he puts study guides to all the exams and quizzes online so you know exactly what will be on the exam. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you show up to certain classes he will give extra credit for showing up which will really boost your grade. I would def take this course again!
His lectures a pretty boring, but he literally gives you a review guide for every quiz and test so as long as you review and study a bit you will be fine. He dropped our lowest test grade and gives extra credit towards the end if you come to class and go to the psych research programs
Harris is a great professor! he posts study guides for every quiz/test USE THEM!! he puts exactly what he wants you to know on them and it makes them very clear. He also offers extra credit that is super simple and helps your grade out a ton definitely do them as early as you can! Would definitely recommend him for this gen ed
Class only once a week with tests or quizzes almost every class. Posts study guides with exactly what will be on the tests and quizzes and you can find most of those answers on Quizlet. Days with no test or quiz will sometimes involve extra credit. Also gives other extra credit options to make sure you perform well in the class.
I loved only having class once a week. He gives out so much easy extra credit so even if you do bad on tests, you can still end with a good grade. He also gives you the study guides which are almost the exact test questions. I wouldn't have wanted to take any other professor but him, so for real, TAKE HIM.
Hes a nice man, very kind and caring, but tends to get off subject rather quickly. Attendance is not necessary to pass, if you're taking the hybrid class, everything is online, plus quizlet will help you.
TAKE THIS CLASS. Super easy only one day a week. must study his study guides because it is a lot of material. Gives extra credit on days you don't have a test or quiz so GO TO CLASS!! FINAL WAS EASY. TAKE HIM!!
Very easy class. He makes study guides that are very specific about what you need to know for the tests. Definitely would take him again. Very nice guy who clearly loves what he does and wants you to also.
Dr. Harris was the absolute sweetest. He is 82 (adorable) and truly wants his students to do well. He provides detailed study guides, so if you know those, you are all set for the quizzes and tests. None of the quizzes/tests were too difficult, and he also allows for extra credit.
Dr. Harris is an absolutely wonderful professor. He gives you all the tools you need to get a good grade in his class. He is willing to curve grades when the class doesnt do well. He posts clear study guides for the tests. Quizzes are online and are easy if you look at the study guide. I HIGHLY recommend.
Professor Harris set his class up for you to succeed. His study guides are to the dot what is on the tests and quizzes and the answer options are word for word what he tells you to study. If by chance you do poorly on something he lets you retake it and even helps you do better. The online formate is tests and quizzes only. 100% recommend.
Professor Harris is the absolute sweetest and wants all of his students to succeed. Everything is online and exams/quizzes are super easy if you go over the study guides (which Dr. Harris has created and outlines EXACTLY what is going to be on them). There is also an opportunity for extra credit! Take him if you have the chance!!!!
I took this class online, hes very helpful when its comes to quizzes and exams. He literally tells you the things you need to study for quizzes and exams, very straightforward study guides and the readings arent long at all you can knock em out within 30min. I definitely recommend this class especially if you do have a busy schedule.
Such a great professor!! He has study guides that tell you everything you need to know for the quizzes and exams in this class. Gives out extra credit as well. 10/10 recommend taking his class and he cares about us succeeding in the class.
Prof Harris is amazing!! He tells you exactly what is going to be on tests and quizzes, there is a good amount of grades so failing one thing doesn't mean failing the whole course. His lectures can be very dry, but he loves the information. TAKE HIM ANY CHANCE YOU GET!!
Gives you a clear outline on what questions will be on each quiz, and gives you where to find them in the textbook. Super easy class if you have the textbook and prepare a note sheet following his guidelines. sweetest man.
He is a good professor. He gives great study guides that are very helpful. Class is mostly quizzes and tests. Lectures are very helpful. It is a pretty easy class, especially online.
The best part of the class is the exam and quiz guides because he literally tells you where to find the info for each set of questions. His lectures are a little dry, but almost everything comes from them. The textbook is not used a whole lot with a quiz/test, but still helpful in finding the right answer. Highly recommend!
Lectures are him talking very generally and have no structure. Don't really line up with the textbook content. Does outline what will be on the test fairly specifically, but that information is not taught. Barely any concepts in textbook are on the exam, it is a waste of money to buy it.
I had Harris for an online asynchronous class and it was the easiest class I've ever taken. He's really passionate about the material. He makes preparation guides for the quizzes and exams - basically telling you everything you need to know. Totally recommend.
I recommend this class if you want an easy 'A' for psyc 160. Harris lectures are dry and boring; it takes me two days to watch a less than 30 mins lecture. He tells you exactly what's on the tests and quizzes ( which are crazy easy, TBH). BUY TEXTBOOK. Stay organized and memory the definitions(Quizlet). 6(quiz) and 3(test) are not cumulative.
Definitely the easiest A I have gotten at JMU. You are graded on several quizzes and tests, but the study guides tell you exactly what page on the textbook will contain the questions and answers verbatim. There are lecture videos you can watch, or you just pause on the slides with relevant information and use that as a reference for the quizzes.
Literally the easiest class I've ever taken. Harris is so nice and answers questions very quickly. There are no assignments other than quizzes and tests which are online and open note, he tells you what to study beforehand and it's pretty much word for word what's on the test. Would highly recommend
Super easy, honestly its probably the easiest psyc class you can take here. Don't buy the textbook, its a waste of money you do not need it.
Great organized teacher, I took this class asynchronously and it was honestly so easy. Only 1 quiz a week and 1 test every 5ish weeks. If you read the textbook the quizzes and tests come straight from the book. I recommend this prof bc he's so reachable for help, and he is good at teaching.
Easiest gened ever and his class is so straightforward and organized. Tells you what you need to study for each quiz/test, couple quizzes then 3 tests. Highly recommend this class for a GPA boost.
Definitely take this class in the asynchronous format. Homework consisted of weekly textbook readings and video lectures. He provided a suggested schedule, but we were allowed to submit most assignments late by a certain date. He provides exam/quiz guides which tell you exactly what you need to know and where to find it for the assessments.
Dr Harris really cares about his students and wants them to do well. I did not apply myself like I should have and my grade reflected that.
Professor Charles only teaches asynchronously, but the class isn't bad really. He gave several options to retake exams and quizzes for a better grade. Reading and videos are 100% necessary for quizzes and exams. If you need this as a Gen Ed please take it with him, but if you're a psych major do not take this course, you won't get what you need.
Professor Harris' asynchronous online psych class was super easy as long as you keep up with you work. He lets you know basically exactly what's on each test and quiz in the preps. His video lecture are boring asf.
Even though there weren't many assignments, just do the one hour a week of reading the textbook and taking notes that he says to do, and you will get an A on every test and quiz. Super nice, lets you redo your lowest quiz grades, sometimes the tests too, to get them higher nearly no matter what, just email and ask him and he says yes. online async.
Dr. Harris could not have made this asynchronous course any easier! There is about an hour of reading and notes each week which is followed by a quiz. ALL information for tests and quizzes can be found in the textbook or online lectures. Dr. Harris provides a large amount of resources through Canvas, and even creates test/quiz prep guides!
Very interesting course I took as a gen-ed. Dr. Harris outlines everything you need on Canvas, including outlines for tests & quizzes. You're only graded on tests and quizzes, so studying and reviewing is important. I took AP Psych so this was a nice life-span psych review for me. Would not recommend for those who cannot self-pace themselves.
Very easy and chill class. Only assignments were quizzes and a few tests and he lets you know what resources literally have the answers.
TAKE! So easy for a async course/gened. Literally just graded on quizzes and exams which are NOT hard at all. You get to move at your own pace as long as you do the quizzez and exams by due date, I def recommend.
Overall a decent class; you can tell Prof. Harris wants students to do well. For a gen ed, the course load is kind of a lot. You also have to do a participant pool, or you will not earn 3 credits; it consists of either participating in an experiment or writing a 3-page essay. Overall good Prof and class but maybe not the best choice for a gen ed.
super easy A, gives study guides for each quiz and test. do those and use them during tests & quizzes, you will end with an A.
Super easy Gend Ed and kind of interesting for phsyc. Everything was all online asynchronous tests and exams and so where the answers...
He is an awesome professor who is taking his online course. If you do your test prep, then you should be fine taking his test. It's an open-book test, but some questions are tricky. He will help you with extra credit on the evaluations, and his test is not browser-locked. I thought I would not like psychology, but his course kept my interest.
Professor Harris makes this online psych class a breeze. His detailed test/quiz preps, along with unstuckstudy ai for extra study help, ensure you'll do well if you stay on top of the weekly readings. An engaging course, even for those new to psychology.
Professor Harris was a good professor. He had a very understandable syllabus and he was easy to reach out to. I took this class virtually and it was one of my easiest classes.
Great professor and very easy class. Take it!
Easiest class I have taken at JMU, but still very interesting. Online textbook and canvas materials to use for the class. Follow the exam/test study guides and you will pass with an A. Love him!
Easy peasy. Do it. Sweet emails and not super time-consuming. Would definitely recommend.
I literally never interacted with this teacher once. Easiest online course I've taken.
The easiest professor I've ever taken in my life. Tests are straight from the lectures, and other information, he provides a study guide for the questions. Love this guy!
Super sweet professor! Easy class, it was online asynchronous. I got a not so great score and simply asked him about my options, and he reopened the test for me! Just talk to him, he's super understanding.
Fully asynchronous course and everything was fairly self explanatory in the modules, fun silly videos
Fully asynchronous course that is only graded on tests and quizzes, super easy as long as your read and watch the videos. Super nice guy that cares about your success.
Take him. Minimum you're getting is a B and thats prob if you forget to take a quiz.
So easy, just take it for the credit if you need it, literally all the answers are online...
