Would take again

Professor Harris is a good teacher for those that want to learn. His homework was not that hard if you took the time to do the reading assigned. He is political, which is fine. I would take him again if I needed to, at least I learned something new about politics and was challenged to think. Gave excellent feedback on all papers turned it.

This professor does not explain anything well at all. Hes not specific in anything he gives out. You ask for advice and hed give you a vague answer. He grades his papers very hard. Would never take his class again.

This professor asks a lot from students. At one point during my semester I was writing multiple papers at once along with two discussion posts a week. This was a frustrating class and professor to take with being a full time worker and having other class as well.

Many quizzes that have nothing to do with the content learned. More of a politics class than English. Very unhelpful when asking questions. Gives you advice to fix your work and even when you do what he advises still gives you a bad grade.

Literally the worst teacher I've had so far. I'm not even 2 months into this class and he's been harsh on my assignments and super rude. Even got help on work from someone who excelled in English and still got like a C on a paper. Hes rude and gives useless feedback. Never taking him again. He should be fired.

He grades extremely hard there is almost no such thing as a good paper to him. Past that he does give you a good amount of your grade for just being there, which was nice. A lot of reading in the class you read two books during the semester with discussion posts due every week.

This professor inspired me to take more from reading than I ever have. Though the book selections made me balk at first, I found myself wound up in them, which without Mr. Harris' guidance, I do not believe I would have. I will certainly be taking his World Lit course.

From day one he wants you to know that he is smarter than you. You're to read a piece of work (short story or poem) then analyze the piece. I am someone who has never struggled with lit, but nothing was ever right when it came to what he was looking for. You absolutely cannot get a perfect grade with this man. Really disheartening.

The worst professor I have ever had. The amount of work is crazy! It is genuinely impossible to juggle other classes when you take his class. I struggled in multiple classes because at one point we were working on two different papers AND two discussion posts. He is rude and unbelievably political so if that is not for you, don't take this class.

Prof. Harris isn't the absolute worst but you NEED to stay on top of dates when you take his class. I missed one reply to a discussion board and my grade dropped significantly. He refuses to give a perfect grade on any assignment, no matter how good it is. Other than that, if you ask him questions he is pretty helpful.

I am taking an online class so it may be different. I didnt think his class was as hard as previous people have said. Its mostly discussion boards & papers. Follow instructions & do the work it wont be hard. The only reason I wouldnt take him again is because he pushed his political opinion far too much. It was irrelevant to what we were learning.

All essays I had to write were political or analytical. He doesn't really explain what you actually have to write about or go in to detail like at all. Not many assignments which was nice. I've never had a problem with an English class until this one. Very harsh on grading and you cannot get a perfect score no matter how hard you try.

Glenn Harris was hired by Mott to help students overcome sleeping disorders. Just one visit to his class and even the most troubled insomniac is cured. Years ago, he fainted in his own class, and many believed that he had literally bored himself into a coma. Truly a legend of boredom. . .

Do not take this class. It is straight up politics, the book that we had to buy was a democracy book. We've only wrote 2 papers so far and we're over halfway through this semester. All the discussions have been revolving around democracy and things that shouldn't be taught in and English class.

Extremely political. Basically, you need to figure out his political point of view and just write about topics that align with that. There was ONE rhetorical essay, everything since then (discussion posts and essays) have all been about politics. I've clocked out of this class and am counting down the days. Want a polisci test run? Take this class.

You get one week of an actual English class, then it turns into Polisci101. The textbook is just about the constitution and then you have an essay about the book and an essay about creating an amendment. This class made me not care about politics anymore because how absolutely forced it is. Zero actual feedback regarding grammar or how to improve.

The class might as well be a political science class, with only one way of thinking. The professor force feeds you his narrative, completely ruining the course for the students. I will never advise someone to take this professor. If you don't agree with his politics, you're wrong. Stay away.

Professor Harris gives constructive feedback on writing submissions. He occasionally comes off a little harsh and condescending which I didn't appreciate at first but it has definitely made me reevaluate my writing and I have improved since.
