Professor Harshman was a great techer. I had not taken a class in twenty years . He was patient and loves writing. He is the ideal teacher for a new student or a student returning back to school.
Great teacher. He makes the class fun and interesting. He is very helpful and allows you to continuely revise your papers till you get an A+.
Professor Harshman is a wonderful teacher. He keeps things interesting and is very helpful when needed. He's a super down-to-earth guy and makes learning enjoyable.
Participate and have fun.
I really appreciate professor Harshman for teaching me English 101. He made me love English more than before.
Mr. Harshman is an amazing teacher and I highly recommend him for anyone!
I absolutely loved taking his class. He's such a nice teacher.
Exciting and extremely helpful!
best teacher i have ever had!!!
best teacher and has really good human sense
This professor takes his job seriously. He expects a lot, but is EXTREMELY helpful to all who are in need. He expects his students to be responsible for their work and showing up to class. He never criticizes, but listens and takes all questions seriously. An EXCELLENT teacher. ALWAYS on time and stays late if necessary.
I dreaded taking english and having to write papers, but Mr. Harshman didn't just give me a "C" or a "B" for my papers. He would edit them and help us through creating a great paper which in turn helped me learn what a great paper really looked like and how to create it. I highly recommend his class for the process of creating a great paper!
Professor Harshman is an outstanding teacher. 30 years have passed since I have been in school and with Professor Harshman's encouragement and knowledge of English, I received an A. Every paper is awarded 100 points if you do your paper and edits. Hope that STLCC-Meramec sees what an outstanding professor they have with Professor Harshman.
Professor Harshman was a wonderful teacher who led each and everyone student to success if they were willing to put the work in. He was awesome!!
Professor Harshman is an excellent professor. He's very understanding and goes out of his way to make sure his students fully grasp the course material.
Prof. Harshman was an amazing professor. He understands that life happens and will work around your schedule. He makes sure that you understand the material. Turning in things late (which isn't advised) he is pretty flexible about.
Harshman is one of the greatest professors. He is very patient and understanding when it comes to his students. He is always there to help his students whenever they need him. He is very passionate about his work and pushes for his students to do better.
Prof. Harshman saved my grade by accepting a late paper he had every right to refuse. That one paper saved my grade and ultimately helped further my career!
Choose him. You will not be disappointed.
I absolutely loved this class. The lectures made my day and the conversation flow is hilarious and constructive. There were no tests but there was a bit of homework and three essays. Nothing to be alarmed about. Harshman is really nice, helpful, and made class interesting. I highly recommend this class.
He cares about English. He cares about teaching at the college level. He's extremely intelligent. He wants his students to succeed. The only way you will fail is if you don't make an effort. If you participate, he'll help you until you get an A.
All around great guy.
He's my favorite instructor at Meramec and one of the best teachers I've ever had. He does a fantastic job of keeping everyone in the class interested and engaged, and is an all-around great guy. I don't know about the other professors teaching ENG102 at Meramec, but I can promise you that you won't be disappointed if you take Harshman's class.
Nothing very ok class enjoyed the group work.
I really enjoyed the class.!
Professor Harshman is amazing at what he does! He really makes it easy for a person to learn!
Professor Harshman is great!!!! I highly recommend him!
Amazing professor that taught me well! Would defiantly take a class with him again.
Prof. Harshman is great and I highly recommend him ! He is an excellent teacher.
Great teacher, probably the best English teacher I ever had!
I would definitely take another course with Professor Harshman.
I was home schooled and Prof. Harshman was sincere and made sure everyone in the class understood what was going on and what was expected of them. He is respectful towards his students and truly loves English. I received a D in the class and it was just due to me not applying myself as much as I should have. He wont make you feel stupid.
Professor Harshman is my absolute favorite professor I've ever had. He is genuine about his work and does anything and everything he can to help you. English is by far my worst subject but he has made it so much easier for me to get a general grasp on what I'm supposed to do. I'm about to reach my character limit but i could go on. take his class!!
Professor Harshman gives every student personal attention and criticism. His class presentations are amusing and informative. He teaches in a way that makes you comfortable in class. I instantly liked him. He helped get all my papers up to their maximum grade and even brainstormed topics with me. He goes above and beyond as a professor. He's rad.
Very interesting lectures and quick grading. Would like to have this professor again.
Mr. Harshmann was great! The outside of class HW was simple reading & answering questions- just don't get behind! The essays: He gave great feedback and as long as our first rough draft met the due date, we had the chance to turn in revisions as many times as we needed until we got a 100%. NO tests! His dark/witty sense of humor was a plus too!!
Dr. Harshman was by far one of the best English professors Ive had. I am not gonna say English 101 is an easy class, no English class is an easy A especially a composition class. I made sure to do all my essays and turn them in, he is great because he revises what needs to be fixed and you turn it in. Just be sure to do your essays and revisions.
Great teacher. Actually cares about his students.
Best English professor I have had. He made everything very easy to understand and you can easily be successful if you do the work. Class discussions are really fun and participation is worthwhile. You will look forward to attending class everyday. Grading is very simple and is easy to contact about anything.
This was the first writing class I didn't absolutely dread going to. Prof. Harshman really connects with the students, making him very easy to connect with and talk to. Very helpful and I feel like I'm coming out of his class a better writer.
Was one of the best professors here at stlcc meramec. Always had cool stories, kept the class entertained, even had an awesome Halloween party. Very open minded and supportive guy. Course load was perfect. He also only looked for improvement in writing and had extremely good feedback. No tedious busy work. Always available during office hours.
Mr. Harshman has tons of stories that weirdly at times lines up with the specific topic we have during that day of class. He's always there when you need assistance and is always willing to help. Which made the course less of a struggle.
Best professor I have ever had. Loved every second and day spent. I will never forget him ever due the impact he honestly left.
Effort is the most important part of the class. As long as you do the homework, show up for class, and put effort into your papers you will do fine. He does not expect anything to perfect because you are learning to be a great writer. He wants to help you achieve that goal.
I just finished professor harshmans English 101 class and it was amazing. The class is easy, and he is willing to help you. He gives great feedback and replies to emails fast. If I could take his class again I most definitely would!
Prof. Harshman was extremely helpful, understanding, and accommodating for me as I navigated through my first semester of college after being recently diagnosed with a disability. He even gave me helpful information about the access office on campus so that I could get accommodations with my other courses. Highly recommend taking his class.
Throughout high school and my early college careers, no professor has taken more time to coach and help students become stronger writers. Most slap a grade on the top and don't clarify why you got that grade. He will be more than happy to sit one on one with you and review and coach you on your papers.
Starting college I felt like the odd one out. Professor Harshman changed that when I took this in the fall of 2023. Being able to sit down with them during final portfolios really let me show them what I am capable of. I have never had an English teacher like that. I am glad to be able to have them again for the spring semester in ENG 102 as well.
He is a very good professor! He is lenient as he has a two week grace period for papers. He also is interested and getting to know you and laid back!
Professor Harshman was one of the coolest professors I have ever had! Returning back to school after taking a gap year, I was nervous but glad to have him as my ENG 102 professor! He is understanding and super nice! He has a great sense of humor!! I would definitely take one of his classes again if I had the opportunity to.
Professor Harshmann, was a great teacher he helped me to improve my understanding and skills thank you so much.
Great professor for long gap returning students and students fresh out of high school. Very knowledgeable and is upfront about deadlines. Don't let them slip by. The syllabus is packed with info. Read through it and make notes for later or post it notes. If you have a question ask sooner than later. Professor Harshman is an asset to the community.
I enjoyed my ENG 101 class with Professor Harshman so much that I waited nearly two years to have him again in ENG 102. I do not regret it. He is engaging, his lectures are insightful, and he is very lenient about grading and receiving late work SO LONG as you communicate with him any situation outside of class you might be facing.
Professer Harshman is very outgoing and one exceptinoal teacher due to how easy he is to connect with. This makes his classroom a more lovable place. Not only has he been an awsome teacher social wise but a amazing teacher in an academic way. Professer Harshman will walk with you as you are doing your work to ensure that you learn and improve.
I loved taking Professor Harshman's class. It was a very exciting and intriguing class and it was always something new every day.
If you take this class I guarantee you won't be disappointed from the lectures to the deep conversations you will feel honored to participate in such an amazing class.
An amazing professor and would happily take him again
Prof. Harshman is an amazing teacher. He gave us four essays over a school year and he helped us edit them into even better essays than the stuff we had written before. Prof. Harshman gives good lectures and he is very interactive with the students if they're interactive with him. If you put in the work and ask for help, he will help you get an A.
Dude this guy is so sigma. The way he teaches is so skibidi and he's the first teacher I've felt like helped me retain useful information. Pretty flipping epic sauce man. Would edge again
Overall he's a great professor he just has a lot of corny jokes.
Very caring, extremely patient, an amazing professor.
Very enjoyable to be around, has a good attitude and cares about his students. Praise whoever god(s) you worship if you're able to have him as a teacher.
Mr. Harshmann is hands down one of the best teachers I've ever had. At the start of every class, he does a wellness check and ensures we are all good. After that, we can share stories about our weekend or week before starting the lesson. He is a very passionate and understanding teacher.
Mr.Harshman is a very fair and clear professor. He makes his boundaries known while also creating an easy environment to work in.
HarshMoney is the best! Always caring about how you feel and never fails to give you help. So grateful to have him.
Mr. Harshman has made things fun and challenging throughout the year. I really appreciate him and am lucky to have been in his class this year.
He's very understanding and is great when it comes down to assignments and papers.
Mr. Harshman is one of the best English teachers I've ever had, and is an overall great person!
he's one of the best professor in the world.
What I want other students to know about Prof Harshman is he is very resourceful in and outside of class. He does leave a few jokes here and there and his feedback is really important and has helped me throughout the year.
Very understanding when it comes to assignments and papers.
I've had Harshman for more than one course, and every time the material was easy to understand, learn, and progress with. Harshman gives lots of time to accurately complete the papers required, making sure that above all you understand the material for future classes. I'm glad I took his class over others.
Very nice teaching
Absolutely amazing and nothing flawed. Just that guy.
Very amazing teacher took two classes with Mr.Harshman. Never regreted the decision on taking English with this teacher. He made sure that his students were doing okay. Having great life lessons and great assignment instructions. 10/10 would be in class again.
Harshman is a very good professor. He cares in and outside of the classroom. If he's ever hard on you it's for a reason and it's only to help you. Who doesn't love Har$hmoney?
I'd recommend Mr.Harshman to intelligent students with good self-discipline, and looking for a fun authentic, and hilarious professor. He is smart and his morbid interests add to his charismatic aura. #Supercoolteacher! #Defreccomend #Ifyoudon'tchoosehimyou'remissingout #wouldtakeagain #theclassisfye #thebobisfye.
Professor Harshman is an amazing teacher. He helped me with a lot of difficult problems I had outside of school. He is inspirational and my favorite teacher by far. I am going to have him again for my senior year and I cannot wait.
Phenomenal teacher!
Mr. Harshman is one of the best teachers I've ever had, and quite possibly the best English teacher you could hope to have. I have enjoyed the year in his classroom, and there were many mind-opening discussions, which established more of my drive to learn. Caution: The review that uses the words "skibidi" and "sigma" may induce despair.
He was very helpful and very understanding!
Be ready for one of your favorite class.
It is very easy to pass the class if you do the work.
He was amazing
He is a great professor. Very understandable and would definitely recommend.
Trying to find a professor that cares and puts an effort into helping students succeed. Then professor Harshman is one who will exceed expectations.
Professor Harshman made everything feel easy. He gives you all the tools necessary for writing your papers. If you do not pass his class, it is simply because you did nothing. He will make sure you pass as long as you are doing the work. I would take any class he teaches.
Professor Harshman genuinely cares about his students success. There's few professors that go the extra mile. The Eng102 class is incredibly simple, you do three papers and he helps you with revision, what you're missing and how to overcome your errors. If you want to learn how to write like a professional, take his class.
He is absolutely amazing.
i picked this class because it was a once a week class but this class was actually one of my favorite classes so far this semester. i would tend to forget to join because it was once a week but i didnt feel lik ei was behind because he explained the work well and it as someone who likes to write it was a great class
Prof. Harshman makes class fun and interactive; you can skip participating if you want, but class is much more fulfilling if you don't. He is passionate, funny, and clearly cares about both his subject and his students. The class is simple and requires 3 papers with revisions, no final exam, and no tests at all. Do the work, and you can't fail.
Prof. Harshman is the best professor ever. His classes are super easy, and he makes the assignments fun. He is caring, respectful, and a wonderful person. I would most definitely recommend him for any class. 100000/100000
Mr. Harshman is a great teacher! He actually cares about his students and loves what he does.
please be respectful to Mr Harshman and he will give you that same respect. he will even go out of his way to do certain things for you if he is able to. overall, very respectful and a helpful teacher.
Amazing teacher honestly.
Professor Harsh$MONEYYYY hands down one of my best AP English teachers is one of the most understanding and fun teachers I've ever had. He's a fair grader and is super cool; the workload isn't too bad, and I would gladly have this teacher again.
Professor Harshman is an amazing teacher! He is very funny yet inspiring. He makes connections with all of his students and tries his hardest to bring nothing but the best out of them. His class is honestly my favorite and one of the biggest highlights of my day!
Cool guy, but will hold you to standards
He is a smart and passionate teacher that does everything in his power to help you pass his class. All you have to do is do the assignments and you will have a great time in his class.
Great teacher, has a lot to teach you whether roots on writing or on life.
He very clear about his work and helps so much with work or papers you don't understand
Prof. Harshman's one of the best instructors I've had. He's a witty man who's willing to help.He gives good feedback & is willing to help when it's not even related to his class if he has time. He is also great to just chat with & is never hard on a student when they're struggling.I would take another one of his classes in the future if able.
Professor Harshman is a wonderful teacher! The criteria for the work are clear, and you have plenty of time to complete assignments. There are three essays to complete for the whole semester and a few homework assignments, but they're quite easy to complete. He gives great feedback, making it easy to fix your mistakes. So if you fail, it's on you.
Professor Harshman gives great feedback and made College Comp II a breeze. Final drafts of all 3 essays were due at the end of the semester so there was plenty of time for revision. Classes started with debates which was fun. He's passionate, engaging, and it's clear he cares about his students/his work. I enjoyed his course so much!
I want other students to know that Professor Harshman is truly engaged with his students. He listens, values everyone's input, and genuinely cares about our success. I felt completely comfortable in his class, and he has been incredibly supportive.
Whenever Professor Harshman gives anyone an essay, he will do it himself to show what the expectation is. He is very good at explaining and helping if you don't understand something. Harshman is such a great teacher.
Professor Harshman is a hardworking teacher that actually cares about you passing his class. He is very helpful in many ways.
Professor Harshman is an amazing professor. He makes sure he takes the extra step to help his students.
Professor Harshman was a great teacher and super easy to work with! He gave great feedback.
This professor is very caring and kind to all students. He supports us in anything we do and talks to us about how we are feeling. He is more than a professor to us, he treats his students like family.
He a coo person
Professor Hashman is very helpful while writing essays, he gives good feedback and suggestions to help make them better. While he is teaching a lesson, it is always very engaging. Overall, he is a great professor.
MR.HARSHMAN IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!!
Professor Harshman is an amazing professor. Harshman takes time to give clear feedback, which can help you improve your grade. He takes time to build relationships with his students.
He's super respectful and tries to work with you and your needs regardless of written accommodations or not. He's a down to earth guy and loves talking about movies (specifically horror movies). He is very sarcastic but in an amusing way.
Clear and Concise with his words Likes to have his students engage, but respects their shyness Very passionate about his class and very respectful A great teacher/mento,r and is very generous. Willingly to Give
This teacher is very clear about his instructions, easy to understand assignements. Always here for his students, great teacher.
Professor Harshman allows for an essay to be regraded anytime throughout the semester if it is turned in on its expressed due date. He is kindly spoken and always makes sure his students know that they can succeed.
Prof. Harshman is by far the best teacher I have ever had. Without any bias he seriously is an awesome teacher. He is very intelligent and great at making class more fun and interactive and makes people want to come to the class more. If I could go back in time and take this class all over again I would do it.
He is talkative but cool.
Amazing Professor! Listens, gives great feedback and is a phenomenal resource.
Mr. Harsman is the best teacher I have ever had in a long time. If you ever need help, he's always there to help and will help you even in years from now with essays or any assignments you need. He's funny and loves to take care of his students and make sure that we are okay and have everything we need. Love Mr. Harshman
Professor Harshman is an awesome professor. He provides great support and excellent resources to his students. His assignments and expectations are clear and easy to follow. Professor Harshman is very knowledgeable and passionate about his subject. Thank you for a great semester.
Be real and be open, communicate
Genuinely one of the greatest professors I've ever had the pleasure of having, I was always excited to walk into his classroom, very understanding about late work, easily reached, brought back the joy in English classes! It's almost impossible to have a bad grade In his class! I would absolutely take one of his classes again.
Great professor, opened my mind to a lot of things I kind of already knew, but I just needed to be asked the right questions, and he gives great feedback.
ENG 102 with Professor Harshman is a great class. Participation is key but it does not matter what you contribute during class as long as you are open and communicate. The class is engaging, he teaches clearly, is flexible with deadlines, and very accessible. There are few assignments and paper length is not strictly enforced. Highly recommended.
Great teacher !
Mr. Harshman is a very good professor he is one of the most generous teachers you would ever meet at STLCC Meramec. Although he is funny and cracks a good joke here and there he gives very good feedback on becoming a better writer and he is truly inspirational and a good role model.
Really enjoyed this class. Professor Harshman was easy-going and flexible, especially when I had some circumstances that other professors might not have been as helpful with. Class discussions were fun and thought provoking. Papers were clearly defined with plenty of time to do them. Additionally, feedback was helpful and constructive.
Genuinely too good for this earth and society. If you don't take his class, you will literally be missing out on a heaven on earth. The class is so pellucid and unambiguous, it is impossible to fail. Easiest class ever - even easier than MS and HS courses (IMOH), no heavy workload, if any workload at all. And - he has jarringly brilliant writing.
A supportive professor. I took him for both English 101 and English 102, and he was always willing to help and explain things clearly. He gives really helpful feedback on essays and actually takes the time to let you know what you did right and what you can improve. He cares about his students learning, not just about grades.

Awesome professor, take his course you wont regret it!
Great Professor, funny, creative, and engaging!! Amazing feedback - I have learned so much from this class. As other reviews have mentioned, he loves horror and all that has to do with it, and will bring it up - so if you are into that, you will love this class. Such a fun class....love Mr. Harshman!!
