You do not use a book. He is a good teacher no doubt however the course I took used ALEKS. Starting out the objectives in the pie, there are maybe 6 sections. The sections vary anywhere between 20 to 70 questions. If you get 1 question wrong, you automatically get 3 more. I can't stare at a computer all day. You could spend hours on ALEKS.

He's a great professor the only thing is he teaches very slowly and eventually you'll fall asleep. he doesn't grade HW he only grades test, quizzes, and ALEKS his extra credit is only worth 5 points if he sees you struggling he'll curve your grade at the end of the semester that's only if he see you making a effort

Harley is an angel. The man genuinely cares about his students and HATES DELL COMPUTERS! He is the best math professor I've ever had in my 4 years at Broward College. Due to Corona my 12:30-145 T-THUR class moved to online. We, as a class, missed seeing and hearing him. I wish we had a proper goodbye as this class was so enjoyable. Very easy class.

I highly recommend taking Professor Harley. He makes Discrete math simple and clear. His lectures are engaging and fun. You will enjoy his class. Work load is light. One of the best professors Broward Collage has to offer. 100% recommended!

Had Prof Harley at the beginning of this semester for the 8-week math course and it was the best math class I've ever taken. Lectures were almost 3 hours long twice a week but so worth it. I am so incredibly bad at math but he made the class so clear and have many attempts on the homework and tests. There is a lot of hw but soo worth it best teach

Lots of homework

I wish a NON-EXISTENT tag was available. Professor was of zero help for anything. Have a question about the work? His response, "Get a tutor." Have a question as to why you aren't getting feedback? His response, "I don't know." He was basically a warm body that had to input grades. And even that took him forever to do.

Probably the worst. He gives homework all day. In the beginning of the course he had no mic so he would write on the white board with no explanation behind it. He can also be a little rude. I truly learned NOTHING. Mathway was my bestfriend. Now I have to take this course again.

Where do I even start? I did not like this professor, I am not sure why his ratings were so high. He doesnt really care about you. Everytime I will email him, his responses were always "its in the syllabus". I cried about 5 times because of his tests. His lectures are dry. The only reason I passed was because of the tutoring offered at ASC.

was my first fully online course, so not sure what to expect. However the course material was very well organized, we used ALEKS (don't know if this is standard) and found it very useful to fill gaps. No extra credit, no make-up opportunities. You are mostly on your own but again the material is pretty much well organized

As someone who is terrible at math. Prof. Harley was great!!! If you're nervous about taking this class or thinking about any other Prof, don't be and just take this class. I promise it's the EASIEST yet most informative math class I have taken in a while. So just take it and get that A. Just make sure you show up and take notes.

One of the very best! This course is one that has similar content to a high school class that I absolutely failed. Professor Harley does an amazing job of making this content digestible, paying attention in class will most likely award you an A. He gives extra credit on all tests (being some extra questions) enabling me to get 100% on every exam.

Took this class a dual enrollment student I had about 2 class at bc and 5 at school.This class did not interupt my schedule at all. All the homework and labs are due on tuesday, they are fast to do. Email him, if you need something from him, he'll understand.

One of the Easiest Prof you'll take for Discrete Math. He's supper chillax. He drops the lowest 2 quiz. there are also 3 tests and a final, and he'll drop the lowest. Since I already got an A without taking the finals, i didn't take it. And I got an A. Super fair guy. TAKE HIM!!!!!

i was so frightened taking college algebra as someone who's HORRIBLE at math. professor harley was so grey, he doesn't make u feel stupid, and his exams are easy if you study the little practice he does with you. also do your ALEKS and you're set. hilarious kinda guy. he's just a chill guy fr fr.

Professor Harley is a great professor! His communication is effective. There is nothing within academic means that you could ask for that he would not help you in. Extra credit is offered. PARTICIPATE in the extra credit. I am so grateful that I selected this professor, I loved the MyMathLabs because it helps you practice to better perform.

Before Professor Harley I had such a difficult time with math. I was DREADING college math. It turned out to be my favorite class yet. Professor Harley had great lectures and his organization really helped me understand the material. We did mostly group work. He was always helping you out. Also take notes!! All in all a great teacher.

I loved his class! He makes plenty of joke and explains if u need but u do have to speak up. He is very straight to the point and in he words "You'll become a algerbrasit" (You can joke around with him and still learn I actually banned him from using that word cause he said it so much, and it became a joke in our class) HE DOES MOVE FAST, SO FOCUS!

Math is not my strong suit but professor Dean Harley made the course easy to understand as long as you participate. In the beginning of class you will choose a group of your own liking make sure it's with people who shows up and participate because they determine your grade as a group when it comes to projects. 10/10 recommend.
