Great teacher! Makes you laugh and enjoy the class; he also teaches so that you remember the information if you just listen.
I really like this teacher. He understands you, and helps you with all of your stuff.
He is a great instructor. More than willing to help and cares about students! He really knows his english and makes funny jokes to help you remember. I have recommend him to several students. To bad he doesn't teach CompII, maybe he will soon.
His stories about past life experiences and all the things he has done make the course desirable on their own. While it sometimes leans towards the dull side, his actual class work is not too shabby.
Mr. C. is the coolest teacher ever. I have always hated English but he made it fun. He is hilarious and even brought and played his banjo he made in class for us.
Harrell was my favorite teacher this semester. I got all A's on my paper because he made clear what he desired from are writing. He is also a very funny and well round man his story of his younger days make the class enjoyable.
He is a great teacher. Explains everything, gives you papers to help write everything. Is always happy, and willing to help.
Mr. Harrell is a great instructor, and conducts an enjoyable class. Before I took English composition 2 I just wanted to get through it now I am looking at world literature. He is one of the finest inspirations I have ever met.
just an awsome professor. he's got a lot of funny stories and he trails of on these wild ideas for five or ten minutes at a time. i would recomend anyone to take his class.
SOO Easy
He is sooo easy. You don't even have to read the stories. He reads them in class for you. No homework except 4 or 5 papers and grades them easy!!
Wow, Mr. Harrell is an awesome instructor. I recommend him to everyone!!! Great person, always upbeat and helpful. He made Comp. II interesting.
Yea Mr. Harrel is the bomb. Has to be the best professors ever. He was very helpful. He teaches the course very well. I would recomend him to everyone looking to take this course.
extremely easy
Mr. Harrell is intelligent, funny, and helpful. He is very clear as to what he expects and he makes class very enjoyable with his hilarious stories and upbeat personality. He always got my day off to a good start.
Has a vast knowledge of literature and some how takes a subject that most would consider tedious and makes it interesting and fun. Teaches class with a great personality and sense of humor while being very down to earth and real with his students. I felt like i had a real person teaching me as opposed to a distant professor. Highly recommend!
Mr. Harrell was an all a round teacher. If you needed help he was always there for any type of question. Always willing to help.
He was a great professor. Very interesting and graded fairly. He helps you understand what your writing about and is always willing to answer questions. I recommend him for sure!
Professor Harrell is a great teacher. He wants us to be successful. He cares about his students. He is funny, interesting, very intellagent. Thanks for a great summer semester, see you in the spring.
great class. lots of fun! only take if you have lots of time to read and be prepared to take notes in class, it will make your tests SO easy!
I hate to read, but Mr. Harrell made my World Lit 2 class and actually enjoyable. I highly reccomend everyone to take his class.
Curtis is the best teacher ever!!! He is very funny, he is laid back, the tests are take home, and he posts the power points online. He also gives extra credit reading quizzes which are very helpful.. so read before class and you will pass the class.
Great teacher! Fun and will teach everything you need to know.
Awesome teacher!I can't wait to take another course with Mr. Harrell. He gives you plenty of time to write papers and will help you with your rough drafts. There's no excuse to get less than an A unless you don't turn in assignments. You leave his class with a better knowledge of the writting process. Thanks Mr Harrell. A true teacher of the year!
Mr. Harrell is quite possibly one of THE COOLEST teachers ever. I would take every class he taught if I could. His classes are informative, hilarious, and interesting. Definitely worth taking
Mr Harrell is the best teacher I have had since I started college!
Take every class you can with him. Class is fun and he really teaches the material. He's the best teacher there. I never miss his class...it starts my day off great. A gauranteed A if you go to class and get help from the writting center.
Dr. Harrell is freaking awesome!! He made me look forward to coming to class!! Always happy, always willing to help!! Great personality and sense of humor!! Take him and you won't regret it!!!
this teacher ROCKS.. He helps at every corner.. had for comp1 and im waiting whole year so can have him for comp2
This class was really helpful. I enjoyed every single day on class. I learned a lot,and I would like to have the opportunity to be in your class again. I know that's not going to be possible, but you are the best teacher i've ever had. i hope to see you around! and have a great summer! (or what is left of it)
Professor Harrell is an amazing teacher, I took him for three of my classes. He does issue a lot of papers but he grades very easily and is very funny and he makes english very intersting. I highly recomend him to everyone he is awsome!!!!
I took World Literature 2 with Professor Harrell in the Fall 2008. Honeslty I find literture sort of boring but his teaching style made literature and learning it fun and instightful. It's VERY nice as a college student to find a professor who loves to teach and what they are teaching. I would recommend this Prof. to anyone taking classes at NWACC
Best professor. I would greatly suggest him, wonderful experience! I actually enjoyed comimg to class!!
Best teacher I have ever had!!! All I can say is awesomeeeeee!!! very helpful, great stories, down to earth.
Professor Harrell is the most influential teacher I have ever had. He willing to help even after school hours. Very clear about what he wants and teaches with enthusiasism. Awesome teacher!
makes learning easy and fun
Harrell is an awesome teacher!!!He makes learning fun with his funny jokes. I learned a lot in his class. He is so cool he even has a beard and tattoos he is one awesome teacher!
He is one of a kind. He makes learning so much fun.
Best teacher I've ever had for English. He has a great personality and is beyond helpful for his students. He truely makes attending class fun and very beneficial.
The Best English teacher I have ever had! English is one of my favorite classes but all my other teachers were not as interested every day. Mr Harrell loves this class and has an amazing atitude every day. He explains everything clear. And if you don't understnad he will find a way for you to
Professor Harrell should be the standard teaching at the college or above level, to present alot of information and keeping attention and interest 100% of the time. By the way the ISBN # i put in is incorrect, i didnt feel like getting it out.
Totally Awesome! He enjoys teaching. I even learned some history in his english class, hated both in HS. Taking him again next semester!
Awesome Teacher!!! He is so funny. He really loves teaching and literature, and it shows. Very fun, class is mostly powerpoints and discussion. Take home tests are a blast, the only tests I have ever enjoyed taking. Take this class, it is so worth your time.
Harrell is not only an amazing teacher, but a great guy. Some basic work is required, but he gives you every opportunity to do well. If you want a class you don't have to do any work for, then this isn't the one for you, but if you don't mind reading a bit, Harrell's the prof for you.
He is the easiest and most fun teacher I have ever had the pleasure to know. Take him, he is the best. All tests are take home. Best teacher ever!!!
Very good teacher. There is a lot of reading, but he makes the class interesting.
I love this class! He is the nicest and most entertaining teacher I have ever had for any type of English class. He makes the class interesting and is always there to help you with any assignment. I am going to defiantly take another class with him again!
Great teacher! Highly Recommend taking him if you get a chance!
Yep - I have to agree with everyone else who has taken Prof Harrell's classes. As an Honors Student however, I feel that his class could have been a little more challenging without losing too many lazy students along the way.
I wish I could take him for more of my classes. He is a great guy!
He's an amazing teacher. You should definitely take him.
Mr. Harrell is knowledgeable of all literary issues and has a great understanding of what we read. He does a fabulaous job of explaining things. He has a great sense of humor and makes class very interesting.
I would highly recommend taking prof. Harrell's class! He makes the class fun and interesting and he definitely has a great understanding of literature.
He made me enjoy & appreciate literature again. Class discussions were interesting & thought prevoking. Liked his use of pbworks Wiki pages for group research projects. Amount of group work was a bit much. It helped weaker students. He's more than fair,flexible & understanding. Highly recommend. You'll look forward to class & will learn. Great Prof
His class is easy, but it is very helpful!!
He inspires you to participate in the class discussions and makes the reading interesting! He will work with you immensely if you are having any trouble (as long as you are actually trying)
This class was really good, and fun I recommend this class because is easy to follow... He makes the class to be fun, I took interm, comp I and comp II... and will take more if need to...
Prof Harrell was great! I can't wait to take another class he teaches! I wish everyone was like him.
good teacher. strict but very educative and goes straight to the point which saves time and brain cells.
I loved this teacher! He was very attentive and made the work much easier. I had him for Comp 1 and was insecure about my writing skills, until I got through the first writing assignment and saw how helpful he was. We have a great English Dept., but take him if you can get in...you wont regret it!
With an ego as big as his heat and a mind as keen as his humor; this educator is a ten (10) without question. He makes learning not only enjoyable, but interesting too. He is cutting edge and daring us to use our noodle, but not mean spirited of crass about the way in which he challenges us. He is fair and likeable I?d definitely pick this Prof!!!
I regret my procrastination in commenting on Mr. Harrell before the fall semester's registration because students should consider this guy. Not only is he well versed in literature, but his teaching style is cutting-edge. Our introduction to the "Wiki" has posed many possibilities in other parts of my life. Take this class and learn! (Comp 2)
This teacher is AMAZING!! I would have loved taking Comp II with him again! I 100% RECOMEND him!!! GREAT!
It's Curtis Harrell, you really don't need to say anymore. He'll help your writing, you'll learn more than you thought you could, and you get to be taught by one of the most interesting men on campus. Plus, you get to listen to him play banjo if you're lucky. Put in effort and he'll give you all the help in the world.
I am waiting a semester to take English Comp I just so that I can take his course. He is an awsome teacher! Keep up the good work
Mr. Harrell is a great professor. I wish all my previous teachers were like him-- he's funny, knowledgeable, and quirky. You should take his classes if you ever have the chance.
i loved this class and my peers in there! true story
He was a great teacher and very helpful. I loved the fact that he encourages us students to grade each other people and interact with each other. I love to have him as a teacher again :)
Knows his poetry. Very good teacher that will inspire you.
I think someone described his teaching methods as cutting edge. BRAVO! I was a little apprehensive about my first year of college, but Curtis' down-to-earth and very approachable personality helped me come out of my shell and allowed me to produce some of my best work ever. And you gotta love Banjo Fridays!
Amazing professor. He teaches us through distance learning. Sometimes have trouble understanding him, but he makes the class fun and is very humorous.:)
Love Professor Harrell. I took him for Comp I and am now takiing Comp II. Very laid back guy, and an easy class. You will be guranteed an A if you do all your papers, and understand the types of writing. He plays the banjo every Friday, and has tattoo sleeves on both arms. He's very cool/
This is the best professor you will ever meet. He acctually teaches you and shows you how something is done. He doesnt just say here it is now do it.
He made the course very interesting and fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He made the course interesting and fun!!!!!!
THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!! Give you tons of chance to make a A in his class. Just do your work and you will fine.
Awesome Comp teacher, he is an extremely interesting person. You could have great conversations with the guy, and he plays the banjo every Friday to start class (he is very very good at playing by the way)! His class is pretty easy, just show you are putting forth effort and you should be fine because he is a very nice guy, despite his mean look!
Great teacher, will go the extra mile to make sure that your experience in his class is bot educational and memorable. There is NO better professor for Comp I or II.
Mister harrell is a AWWWSUM teecher. he teeched me how to write real good. lol:) just kidding!! He really is a fabulous teacher. He makes class very interesting. His lectures include class participation so the time goes by pretty fast. Highly recommended :)
Mr. Harrell is by far the most amazing teacher I've had to date. Coudn't have asked for a better learning experience. I highly recommend taking this class.
Curtis Harrell is an excellent poet and instructor. He has a passion that is evident in his teaching. Highly recommend.

Professor Harrell Is a Life Changing Professor at Northwest Arkansas Community College, in Bentonville, AR. He is more than willing to help each and every student, he truly is a gift to us as students, he is understanding and even if English is not your favorite subject, Professor Harrell hits a home run helping students
Great Teacher and vey availble in making sure you get what you need out of the class. Never a dull momemnt and lots of fun!!!
The Harrellion is a great instructor. Both interesting and interested, the Harrellion teaches poetry like Genghis Khan slaughtered ill-prepared villagers. By that, I mean he does it well. Take one of his classes or your face will fall off...
Mr. Harrell is passionate about poetry and happens to be a published poet. He was quite helpful to me in the course and spoke the language of poetry. He even played his banjo for us at the end of semester party. He is a great guy and interesting to say the least. Ask him about his hobbies. There are about a million of them.
Excellent teacher! His lectures are amazing!
Tons of reading! If you don't like reading or don't have time for it, consider other options. Curtis Harrell is an awesome professor. I was always distracted because throughout the semester I pictured him as a tattooed Santa. I'll definitely miss this prof, he's an asset to NWACC.
He is so AWESOME!!!! By far the most laied back teacher I have had at NWACC. For the final we brought food and he played his banjo. He is very helpful with the assignments and made the poetry section so clear! Wish he taught more classes. I would take him for every class I had. I would recomend this techer to everyone. Again he is AWESOME!!!!!!!
Awesome Teacher! So laid back. Not your typical English teacher!!
Im not a fan of Comp but he made it interesting. really relaxed personality.
He is very down to earth and ready to help us learn.
He is A-W-E-S-O-M-E! I did not enjoy English until I took him & I do not regret it. I would def recommend him to anyone.
Mr. Harrell is an awesome teacher! He's super nice and was always telling us interesting stories. We also had "banjo Fridays" where he would bring his banjo and play (he's good!). He's really helpful and will explain any questions. He was very lenient with late work but it's best to stick with the deadlines or you'll get behind. Take him!
Mr. Harrel is an awesome teacher, and His lecture is so interesting.
Mr. Harrell is so awesome. He is an older gentleman with a crazy long beard and tattoos coming up his hand. He is the definiton of a Bad Ass. He is extremely helpful with any questions you might have and he always emails you back immediately. He made poetry interesting and I hate poetry! I would reccommend him to any friend of mine!
Very funny! Didnt make class a bore and treated us like equals not like we were dumber than you.
very helpful
super neat. liked him a whole lot bunches, understanding and easy going....plays the banjo what what?!!
This is the best professor I've ever had... school is kinda hard for me as it is... he makes learning fun and easy... everyone should attempt to take any of his classes!! Don't forget Banjo Fridays!!!
Very helpful and wasvery easey. I took him for intermediate writing and reading and we wrote 3 short papers. I advise you to take him if you need this class or any other comp class. Also at the end of the semester we turned in are last paper and had food.
The best proffesor I had all semester.He works well with his students and is helpful.
Professor Harrold is one of the best teachers i ever had!

professor harrell rocks! hes easy going and makes class fun. I also feel like he relates well to his students. He is my favorite professor so far.
hes great and knows how to make people laugh:)
He's a boss. The best english professor i had so far. Gives you tons of time to finish your work plus he doesnt count homework late
Professor Harrell always made class fun, and I felt this class gave me a foundation for the degree I want to pursue in college
Overall he was a great professor! Sometimes he was a little unclear, but I think that was mostly due to the technology used. :) Cannot wait for next semester!
Great teacher, Funny guy, Nice Guy, makes class fun and enjoyable.
He is an awesome professor and makes learning easy and fun!
Professor Harrell is a wonderful teacher. He is willing to help you with any question you may have in the class. His knowledge expands your mind and makes to want to learn more. I highly recommend his class to anyone.
Best English Instructor ever! He has a teaching method that is easy to understand. He also understands that we have lives outside of school, like work so we can make a living. I would say this man is a very incredible person!
Really unique and articulate guy. I would take him for any English class! Take him!
He is a great teacher and very funny. Definitely recommend him!
Mr. Harrell is a wonderful teacher and always willing to help. I recommend his class to anyone who loves English and is willing to work hard. He's very laid back and understanding, and his class is easy to comprehend. I thoroughly enjoyed his classed and learned a lot.
Mr. Harrell is the best English Comp Ever. As long as you do your work and your reading journal he is there to help along the way. I did not like poetry before I took the class and he made it very interesting! I learned alot!He is very laid back and is to of fun. I highly recommend taking him. =)
He went to Bonaroo, enough said.
Prof Harrell is a great teacher, he makes the class fun, interesting to learn. I would recommend him to anyone!!!
Best professor i had this semester. Not only does he teach the content well, but he makes class enjoyable, and easy.
I enjoyed every minute of this class. Professor Harrell is the best I would tell other students to take his class.
Absolutely loved Mr. Harrell. He is the best instructor I've had this semester. I made sure that I got him for my Comp 1 instructor too.
Professor Harrell is awesome. His imaginative writing class was my favorite class all semester. He is smart and very intelligent. His poems are so well written, thought provoking, and interesting. Also, he is a huge help when it comes to work shopping the things you write. If you want a great experience in creative writing, take his class!
Best professor i have had by far. He grades fast and everything is on time. Would take again!!!
He has a glorious beard and tattoos. Very nice and walked me through everything with ease
Honestly best English teacher/professor Ive ever had! Super respectful. Always available to students 24/7. There is a lot of reading, but he's so good at talking about it later in class so you better understand. Fair grading(easier grading). Creates an enjoyable environment in the classroom and a relationship with students. TAKE THIS TEACHER!!!
He is a great teacher! There are three main essays throughout the entire semester. Before each essay he helps and gives you plenty of time to research and develop your essay. He uses a Wiki Page that is used to organizer yourself for your essay, which is an amazing tool! I definitely recommend him for any future English courses!
Professor Harrell is great. His directions are very straight forward & easy to follow. You might be overwhelmed when you look at what is due each week because it seems like a lot at first, but take a deep breath. It's not as bad as it looks! Do the work & you will get a good grade! Would HIGHLY recommend.
Everything is done online. Everything is smooth if you just follow course calendar.
awesome teacher! very fun! would recommend him to others! I have learned a lot about poetry.
Comic and intelligent. He makes poetry entertaining to read and fun to write. Lax classroom atmosphere.
I really enjoyed this class. Professor Harrell was very helpful and totally hilarious. Epic beard and tattoos. A haiku: Curtis Harrell rocks A bearded, wizard teacher He is a rad dude
I've never been one for poetry, but in this class, I found that I can write poetry. It was a unique experience.
I took Imaginative Writing I with this professor and it was a generally lax class. It was easy to follow and if you missed it was fairly simple to make up. Our poems were read aloud to the whole class and the professor and students alike gave their advice and feedback. Deadlines weren't pressing and late assignments weren't a big deal.
Professor Harrell was one of the best professors I took along with Professor Billingsley, hes a cool guy with tats, a cool beard, and wears blazers to class. He has an intersting method of teaching where he dosent fully go off the textbook but I prefer that and we wrote poems making the class more intersting,
Really enjoyed the class. A favorite class by far and fun. Also, you learn a lot about poetry.
This class was awesome! He's super helpful with critiques and the writing prompts leave a lot of room for your own voice.
I took the 8 week course and it was a lot of work but he was very reasonable with turn in time.
This was a completely online expedited 8 week class - a lot of online work, but doable. Dr. Harrell had very prompt feedback on the discussion topics, and tests, and a very positive vibe. I would take another of his classes.
He is a funny guy and really cares about the class. He doesn't make the class feel forced or super structured.
He is a funny guy and really cares about the class. He doesn't make the class feel forced or super structured. A+ professor.
Awesome and funny guy, really enjoyed his class.
Such a great teacher! Very passionate over literature, very understanding, and funny. Very cool cat. He knows what he's talking about, explains what he's talking about and is very detailed. Fair amount of homework, not much and is very laid back for the most part. H I G H L Y recommend !!!!
An absolute gem! Harrell truly on fire for this class and makes very single student feel welcome. Do yourself a favor, if you have the option to take this man, TAKE HIM!
Curtis is one the best teachers I've had here at NWACC. He gives good feedback on poetry and randomly recites poems mid-lecture which is pretty cool.
Mr. Harrell by far is the best English teacher I have encountered. In Comp. II, your only required to write 3 research papers and he gives you time in class to work on them. You will have to read and journal, not hard at all. Always willing to help and give feedback. Take his class!
When I first came to class I was really nervous, but when he walked in the room he seemed really nice. I loved his sleeve tattoos. He's funny and witty and actually cares about you as a student. You just need to show an interest as well. I will miss his class. He made poetry fun.
Class was pretty easy all in all. Be ready for a lot of small assignments. Nothing really hard just a lot of small work to keep you busy, but if you stay on track easy A. No final. Just turn in 3 poems and a short story for Imaginative writing final.
Professor Harrell is an amazing professor as great person I 100% recommend taking his English comp class
Gives great feedback and makes the literature more understandable.
Great teacher! He uses a different concept on writing a essay but he make it so much easier on writing long essay!
Professor Harell was the best. He teach and explains everything you need to get an A in class. He is funny and he is worth to take this class.
Professor Harrell is amazing, very nice, and answers any questions you have to his best ability. A few Reading Journals and 3 Research papers only. He is flexible let him know your situation and he will help.
Professor Harrel is great. A bit of busy work do here and thee, but nothing hard or difficult and as long as you show up you should be able to make this class work outside of class with a busy schedule.
Really nice tattoos, and cool looking beard. Honestly I have never had a favorite professor but this guy is great and super funny. You will enjoy this class and learn a lot. I don't think ill pass his class tho, but that was my fault. I don't blame him at all. One thing for sure, if I do not pass this semester, I'm taking his class again!
Great guy, incredibly helpful, an easy yet interesting class. Put in the effort, read a bunch, take the quizzes, write the occasional paper- easy A.
Prof Harrell was an amazing teacher. He actually showed me how to write a paper. I am not a traditional student. I have been out of school for about 15 years and this man made me feel like I haven't missed anything. I loved the stories and the poetry that we read. I would take a class with him again if I needed it for my degree.
the realest
Professor Harrell has been one of the best professors I've had at NWACC so far. Although there is a lot of reading, it's super easy. He goes over assignments the next day in class and assignments that are due after class that day. Attendance is mandatory, but it is totally worth it.
Fun class! You have to write paragraphs about the fiction, poems, and drama that we read but you get full points as long as you turn something good in. Not hard at all. Papers are five pages five sources but otherwise pretty easy. We write three papers through the semester, and the final is a P a r t y ! I enjoyed this class would recommend 100%
Truly a great professor, kind, organized, personable and easy grader. You will also know what to expect from this class as he sticks to his syllabus and does not pull surprises.
Pretty cool, clear to the point, and discussion is everything after reading Journal. Love the Wikki to help with research paper wish that I can always use the Wikki
Professor Harrell was my favorite English teacher between comp one and two. He gives you a whole week to complete your assignment for full credit if it is past due. He tells great stories and is very fun!
any day again.
I love him hes so sweet and kinde and so goffy really recomend this teacher supper nice<3
Professor Harrell Curtis is an amazing teacher and really cares about his students. He is a very talented man, and would take him again if I had to.
He gives you extra time for all your work. dont get behind and just do it, dont be slacking too much cause you can eventually stress yourself out. He is funny, understanding and talented.
At first I was nervous to take an online course because I was afraid it was going to be super hard. But thanks to Professor Harrell this class was pretty much easy just keep up with homework. I like how If I ever had a problem I could email him and he would quickly reply. If you enjoy reading then you will enjoy this course.
Fantastic teacher!! Hands Down!!! World Lit for summer school was the hardest thing I ever did. Had Mr. Harrell not work with me, I would have failed for sure. Communication and completing your assignments is key! Would take a class with him again in a heartbeat!
He is amazing, he accepts all comments, all ideas, not be exactly just one option.
Mr. Harrell is an amazing professor. I had him for Comp II and he made it so easy and he grades easy. As long as you show up you can easily get an A.
Professor Harrell is awesome! He has a really great personality and he know's what he's teaching. He gives students every opportunity to have enough time for homework and papers. He was definitely one of my favorite professors this semester.
Nice person ans professor.
great professor, you wont regret it. You do have reading assignments, but theyre super easy to keep up with since he goes over them in class. He is very clear on what he expects. Best professor ever!
I am not a fan of English. After having Prof. Harrell as an instructor. I can see myself changing to an English major. He inspired me to be a better writer and it showed in my other college courses that even instructors noticed and commented on my writings.
Proff Harrell made it easy to pass this class. Just do what he says.
Do the work and show up and you will pass. Weekly reading assignments and 3 research papers.
Professor Harrell is an amazing teacher! He explains every single assignment very well. By far one of the best teacher in NWACC!!!!!
He is a kind soul and has lots of interesting stories. He may look intimidating at first, but he is honestly the sweetest guy Ive ever had as a professor. Ask him to play some banjo for you!
Professor Harrell was amazing! He really cares about his students and wants you to pass the class. He makes the lectures interesting and Im usually someone that gets easily bored during lectures. He gives good feedback on the essays. I would take his class again.
Great teacher and writer. I highly recommend for English Composition.
I had professor harrell for composition II. semester is broken up into three sections and you have a research paper after each section. he allows late work up until a week late with full credit. class is always fun and amusing. there was no final just a potluck! 10/10 prof!
Take this class if you can!! Mr Harrell is Easy going and understanding. He wants you to pass his class and makes it hard to fail. Just do all of the journals on time and finish your essays. He has a great personality and is fun to have in class.
For the online course, all we had to do is read, answer discussion posts, and write essays. As long as you do the assigned reading and do your work, you should be just fine. He also is great at reminders and responding to emails. All the exams are essays as well- from 2/3 pages for regular exams, but the final is a bit longer.
Took his 8-week class lots of reading 3 exams and 1 final all essays and open from the beginning great teacher and easy class just lots of reading. If passed with a high B while taking 4 other classes and working 57 hours a week.
Took his 8 week World Lit class. Discussion posts and quizzes every week (straightforward stuff). Very thorough class feedback is given on the discussion posts. Professor Harrell is easy to reach and responds promptly. Also know he is very flexible with late work; accepts the time period exams up to a week late for FULL credit. Very nice prof.
He is an amazing professor, he gives a lot of feedback and cares a lot for his students. I enjoyed this class so much and I learned so much with him. I would take it again.
Amazing professor 10/10 would recommend
This professor has been the best professor I have ever had in my entire time in college. He is so interesting, like it was a true pleasure to be in his Comp 2 class.
I enjoyed this class very much. I found my real passion for writing papers once I took this class. Professor Harrell is an amazing instructor and will be there to see you at the finish.
I definitely recommend professor Harrell for English classes. He is easy to understand and will answer any questions you may have. He is very knowledgeable about literature elements and loves to go over lectures with the class.
Prof. Harrell is Great! I would definitely take him again! As long as you do the work you will pass his class. He is easy to work with and willing to help.
This professor has been the most easy going professor I have had. Easy going as in he is not up tight at all, jokes with his students, he will talk about other things as well to make the class fun and keep you engaged. He lists exactly what is needed in essays in order to get an A. Does not assign crazy amounts of homework, & allows extra time.
Professor Harrel is an awesome teacher! He's very understanding when you have trouble with deadlines and creates a very stress free environment. He's very encouraging and a real joy to have as a teacher I really loved his class.
Prof. Harrell is a gifted poet and an outstanding, inspirational teacher. He is an asset to NWACC and I wish he taught more writing classes. HIs lectures were invaluable to understanding the poems we read and to writing of our own poems.
Professor Harrell was such a delight, I had him for my Survey of World Lit class and it was such a breeze having him as my teacher. He always responded super quick with any questions you had, and was super helpful. He also was pretty lenient with late work and was understanding overall! I recommend the 8 week course (if available)!!
NWACC needs a LOT more Prof. Harrell's! What a delight school would be if all teachers were this laid back and caring. You never feel the tension of looming papers like in other classes. I don't know, he's just an inspiring, and well versed Professor. Great online class, even betting in person. 3 major papers, bunch of small reading assignments.
This professor is AMAZING! He truly loves his students and cares about them! I feel like he also cares about mental health breaks as well. We actually get a Thanksgiving break in this class! I work full time, college full time, and I have three kids! Him allowing a break so we can spend time with our families is HUGE! I would take him again!
If youre looking for a somewhat easy A his online courses for you. This online World Lit course consists of weekly discussion posts. Three very easy two page tests (double spaced). & one four page final. As long you meet the main requirements for an assignment you will ace it. EXTREMELY generous with late work, unlike any other prof Ive taken.
the best professor ever. Take his class
He was quick to respond to any questions and gave clear instructions for assignments. There was a lot of material to cover in a short amount of time, but the quizzes and exams were easy enough so long as you actually did the reading. Also, the assignments due dates were spaced a reasonable amount of time apart. Overall, i enjoyed taking his class.
Prof. Harrell is very caring and always willing to answer questions or read rough drafts. His "wikis" are intimidating at first but really aren't complicated and make your essays much easier to write. He is a fairly easy grader, as long as you meet the minimum number of secondary sources and actually try, but no extra credit. Recommend for COMP 2.
Even though I was in creative writing, probably one of the best English teachers I've had. Does not hold absenses against you and this class made me want to turn in assignments on time so we could my poem or story in class and you get to hear everyone's feedback as well as his prompts are general and give you enough creative space.
Professor Harrell's COMP2 class is a true gem. His teaching style is engaging, and the wikis, though intimidating at first, are surprisingly helpful. unstuckstudy ai and the textbook are great study tools to ace this course.
