Cool guy, easy class, but you still learn. Confined himself to the book a little too much, but was a very respectable teacher.
He's a good prof and presents da material very good & easy 2 understand but the tests are impossible 2 ace unless u are a good memorizer and his tests are based on real-life situation questions, not jus definition style so u wud have 2 understand da topic
Harris is a wonderful teacher.
A Very wonderful teacher. knows what he is talking about and is very smart. I enjoy the real life situations and the tests are just the right amount of easy and hard, the way they should be.
He was a good teacher he is very fair and takes the students concerns into account such as on tests. His tests are not that difficult if you read what he gives you will be ok.
great teacher. he is very helpful and has no problem repeating any of the material. his only focus is that we, the students, understand the course material. i reccomend him to anyone. his test arent hard if you study a little bit.
Great!!!
This is an awesome teacher. He actually relates modern events to what he is teaching. He doesn't mind staying after to help you and is always trying to get you to improve your grade.
His General Physchology class isn't too difficult and he's a great guy. I would definately recommend him to people.
this teacher is wonderful. it's a very structured class, so you always know what is going on and what is going to be on every test. there are never any suprises. he keeps the class very interested and finds exciting things for the class to do. i enjoy his classes very much!
Prof Harris is an OUTSTANDING professor. Not only does he demonstrate a clear knowledge of the subject he teaches, he also has a sincere desire to help his students. He expends alot of time helping students to relate to the information both in and out of the classroom enviroment. A MAGNIFICANT GUY!!
Prof Harris is an awesome instructor. A great asset to Polk Community College. If you have a chance to take him DO IT!!!!!
GREAT!!!!!!
Very knowledgable teacher. Willing to explain to his students and eager to help us learn. I would recommend him highly.
Prof. Harris is wonderful, His tests aren't easy, but if you actually pay attention in class and study off his study guide you'll do fine. His class isnt boring you'll actually learn something in his class.TAKE HIM
Great teacher, very helpful. Take good notes, never even bought a book for his class and got a B.Tests are a little hard...not too bad
class is o.k. you EARN your grade, which is fine. take good notes in his class and study off the study guide and computer disk. you'll be fine.
No Comments
he was absolutely awesome, i did not do terribly hot in his class, but he was a great instructor. He was very well educated and made the class very interested in what he was teaching us. I will always recommend him and miss him dearly!
AWESOME
I LOVE PROF. HARRIS HE IS THE BEST. I REALLY ADORE HIM, WHEN I FIRST CAME I WAS SCARED BECAUSE I DID NOT THINK THAT I WOULD EVER PASS BUT I FINALLY DID, HE EVEN INFORMED ME THAT I HAD THE HIGHEST GRADE ON HIS FINAL. WHEN HE TEACHES HE DOES NOT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE LESS THEM HIM, AND MAKE YOU AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS. HE IS THE BOMB
the best professor ever! He is willing to help every one and makes sure you understand. Gives great powerpoints for classes and you have a test on the powerpoint !
taking his abnormal psych class right now and am loving it completely. this guy really knows how to explain things and gets on my level with the anecdotes that he uses. Harris is definately an awesome psych professor
It is a hard class. You write about four papers, which sucked - but if you write extra you get extra credit. Study the notes he presents in class and the test is easy. If you don't study the notes, you are screwed big time. He is an awsome guy and very smart.
Professor Harris is an extremely intelligent man! He really knows his stuff about psychology, if you have a problem and need counseling he will try to help you or direct you to a different professional that can help. His class is hard but if you listen, take notes and study as he directs you shouldn't have a problem. He is by-far one of the best p
I took an on-line Gen. Psychology course with Professor Harris and he was awesome! He is the only teacher so far to actually interact with his students during discussions. His tests will make you think and you have to read every chapter and study to do well. You will have a couple of essays but it was a fantastic class! Bravo Professor Harris!!
Internet Class. I took Gen. Psych and Prof. Harris was very interactive during the course. We did have 4 papers which stunk and he was bad about giving grades out. But, study hard for the tests, get involved in the discussions, and you'll get an "A" in the class. So far he's the most interactive instructor I've had. Overall, Bravo Prof. Harris!
EASY A!!!
Not the best on-line experience Ive had. I managed to get an A though. Heavy reading load. As long as you keep up with your work, you should come out with a good grade. Very direct and a little closed minded, doesn't seem to have the passion for teaching online. He is not regularly online. I feel he may be a better in-class prof.
anyone can pass his class, all the have to do is study the book. easy "A"
Took classroom based Gen. Psychology with Prof. Harris. Loved the class, easy assignments so long as you READ THE MATERIAL! My favorite college prof. so far.
Wouldn't take any other teacher for psychology. He's hard but good. Study study study and you'll do ok. Unlike ALOT of PCC professors... he cares about his students and their grades...

He is so easy...very nice teacher and helpful....
Wonderful professor. Very helpful. Proud of his accomplishments but who wouldn't be. His class made me change my major to psychology.
AWESOME!! All that needs to be said!!!!
Took online course for abnormal psych. Great book. Not much to do online. Tests were available online, which is wonderful! He was always quick to respond to any questions I had. Great class!
Took Harris for general psychology honors and abnormal psychology honors and I absolutely love him. He is a wonderful professor and really knows and enjoys what he's talking about. I would take all my classes with him if I could lol
Took Prof. Harris for several classes and made A's in all of them. His writing assignments are different each semester. If you want to do well come to class take notes, and read the book. DON'T FORGET TO DO THE ASSIGNMENTS! One writing assignment will be worth 30 percent of your grade
I took Professor Harris online. Although he doesn't interact much, his class was quite interesting. You are basically on your own when it comes to assignments. He states what he expects out of his students and as long as you complete everything he assigns, you should get an A. I'm not saying it's easy but it's nothing anyone can't handle!
I took Human growth and developement with professor Harris this semester, and can only say he is amazing. It was a pleasure being in his class and I would definately recommend his class for any one interested in any psychology class !
Online- Class was easy,1 Paper,5 Test and 4 Dissucion Post. Only thing that botherd me was he was behind on grading. He waited until the week of to put grades up.
He wasn't clear on what he wanted for his papers.Never provided feedback and he posted grades the same day he posted final grade.His extra credit rating is confusing.Went to see him because I didn't agree with grade.When I came back home he had changed my grades from 90's to 70's.He was very unprofessional.Also you learn on your own.DON'T TAKE HIM.
Professor Harris is one of the greatest professors at PSC. In this class, you're actually being taught by a psychologist who is still conducting research today. His lectures are very interesting and are even better when the class gets involved. You will leave the class looking at the world a little differently.MAKE SURE YOU KEEP UP WITH ONLINE WORK
Best professor I've ever taken. Very interested in his students and makes the class very entertaining. I'm taking him for a third time this semester. Highly recommend!
Easy easy easy class. All tests are open book, and there is only 1 paper. I took this class online, and while I hear good things about this teacher on campus, he was completely uninvolved with the online class and always seemed annoyed when forced to interact. Avoid if you require teacher interaction during online classes.
TOOK THIS CLASS ONLINE. THE CLASS IS PRETTY EASY. THE PROFESSOR TELLS YOU FROM THE GET GO WHAT WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAD WAS HE DOESNT POST ANY GRADES AND YOU JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE SEMESTER TO SEE HOW YOU DID. OTHER THAN THAT NO OTHER PROBLEMS. IF YOU CALL OR EMAIL HE DOES RESPOND IN A TIMELY MANNER.
He is the best! Do your work and you will pass.
Took class online & would not recommend. Does not contact you, ever. Or post grades. My grades were not posted until three days before the class ended! I passed with an A, but felt like the class was just a burden on him. Did not feel like he cared about his online students. Had anxiety all semester because I never knew any of my grades!
Really Great Professor, I have taken him more than once, he is one of the best!
Good professor. Do the work and get the A grade. Nothing else to say.
Took him for General Psychology honors. No tests, just papers, which he never gave a rubric for and never gave any feedback on. Didn't post any grades till end of semester. Not all information he taught was accurate, and class was very slow moving. Somehow managed to get an A in the course, but would not recommend.
Does not read emails and is off topic
I took this class online & received a good grade. It was a pretty easy class. I have taken several Psychology classes already so I am pretty familiar with it. We had quite a few papers, but the requirements weren't too bad.
Im currently taking this professor online and the work is reasonable I guess but the thing that kills me is the papers we have to write. He's not very specific of what he wants.
I have taken every Psych class PSC offers and they have all been with Professor Harris. He is intelligent, professional, understanding, and has a great passion for teaching. He was always there when I needed help. He makes you work for your grade, but that's the way you learn! Most definitely would take another class if I could.
This professor was able to explain everything in the course really well, and he seemed passionate about his job. I learned a lot but overall the course was a pretty easy A. As long as you went to class, read the book, and participated in the lectures. The tests weren't bad, as long as you studied beforehand.
I am really interested in psychology, but this class was a bit of a let down. The textbook was interesting, and the class itself was easy. There was no student teacher interaction at all, no powerpoints, lectures or videos. The format was 4 quizzes on each chapter and one test over those 4 chapters, textbook use is nessesary. Do not expect feedback
Very easy to look up answers you don't know during test. Does not answer ANY emails so good luck trying. No communication at all, puts up the syllabus, but if you follow it, its not too tough.
good professor, although he does not answer her emails so it is difficult to get in contact with him. I took his online class and receive an 'A' . I took his online class and it was very easy, There was a few issues with the online site but other than that this class his class is real easy
You get what you put into this class, you will be clueless during his lectures if you don't read beforehand and will most certainly do pretty bad on his tests too, and the oral presentation and research paper are definitely something you can't do in one night. Even so, he's a good professor and is willing to work with you if you ask him to.
DO NOT TAKE HARRIS'S CLASS. It was pointless, and the homework and tests were ridiculous. All homework and tests were taken through Wileyplus, and it sucked. All questions came directly from the chapter, so read the book. Harris's lectures had almost nothing to do with what we were tested on. The entire class was a joke.
Overall, a good professor. He utilizes class time for the lecture so any info on syllabus or about papers you are going to have to read on your own, usually posted on PAL. If you take notes in class and read the the textbook you will pass. Tough grader on presentations, try to present in most professional way possible. Not for unorganized...
I took him for gen. psychology last semester online and never got any feedback on anything.. no emails answered and I could not find out what my grade was until the very end when I looked at my transcript. I guess I did well in the class.. I just wished he would've engaged more online. I spent a lot of time on the research paper and no feedback.
I've taken a couple classes with professor Harris, and each one was a breeze. He's extremely lenient, & an easy grader (honestly, as long as you turn something solid in ON TIME, every assignment in the class in a given grade.) He allows more than enough time to turn them in, so if you get poor grades, you most likely didn't take advantage of that.
I highly recommend Professor Harris for psychology. His lectures were boring at times, but when he lectured about interesting topics, I learned so much from him. He gives a test for each chapter but the answers are all in the book so it's not hard. He is a very nice professor and he definitely knows a lot when it comes down to psychology.
Syllabus was a little bit confusing but overall not too bad of a class.
The class itself is pretty easy, but I really don't like the textbook (which the tests are based off of). It's boring, has no page numbers, and really small text. Lectures are better, and there are only a few written assignments. The written assignments weren't graded until the end of the semester, and the research paper is 30% of your grade.
I would take this class again! Professor Harris is excellent!
I very much enjoyed having Professor Harris for Human Sexuality online. At the time we used PAL and McGraw-Hill as our online textbook. I took it as a 12week course. Everything you need to pass is right there in the text and tests are easy. Just make sure you do the research paper and log on to do the discussions and you'll do great. Loved it!
I had Prof Harris for online Honors Abnormal Psychology and really enjoyed the class. There was a lot of reading, quizzes, and tests but that didnt really bother me. He was very respondent to emails and understanding of any concerns I had.
His class is a little boring since his voice is slightly monotone at times and if the class is dead silent after he asks a question he will say "don't all speak up at one" (he did it like 10 times in one class). But aside from that his class is easy to pass as long as you pay attention and do the reading. Also don't procrastinate the research paper
This is a great class to take! This being an online class, yes there is a lot of work because for each chapter you have a 100+ questions for homework and then a quiz, but it's all mainly busy work. The quizzes you could just click the check my work button and it corrects you. You also truly learn a lot abut the development of humans.
Professor Harris is the kind of professor that is only working for a paycheck. If you do not want to learn anything and get an A then you should take his class. He's one heartless, inconsiderate human being, and he's the reason why so many hardworking, struggling day to day students give up and drop out of college.
He has a passion for psychology, lectures are fun. Overall a good professor
My friend recommended professor Harris to me and I'll have to say this class was rather easy and all of the answers can be found in the book, you don't necessarily have to read because the questions will direct you to the page in the book where the answer is
Very accessible and provides very clear instructions for everything. It is an easy A if you complete every assignment accordingly. I would take his class again in a heartbeat. Most assignments are graded through Macmillan LearningPad so it makes it much more accessible, it even has the textbook e-text.
I enjoyed this class! Professor Harris grades easy if you follow the instructions. Very monotone and I would not recommend taking this class at 7:30 in the morning. The textbook is online and you NEED to do the homeworks and exams online! His feedback is very helpful. Pay attention in class and participate because he will randomly call on you!
AMAZING professor. Gives great and interesting lectures. All assignments, quizzes and test are online and super easy if you read the material or use quizlet. One research paper and two discussion boards and grades them very easily. Class is an easy A if you do the assignments. You can tell he is really passionate about his job.
I found the lectures very boring, probably because my class was quiet. It is easy to pass this class, as long as you pass the chapter tests. There is a research paper and two discussion posts but as long as you do them correctly, its an easy A.
It's a very easy class and can be easily passed, however, my final exam was opened by accident after I studied really hard for it to pass. My test never had any questions answered, so the entire exam gave me a 0 and I politely asked if I could just retake it once for all my hard work not to go to waste only to have him answer me 24 hours later no.
Super unreasonable grading. Rarely replies to emails or calls if you try reaching out to his office number. Doesn't upload grades quickly. Will give poor grades on principle if you write something that he doesn't agree with, despite assignments being creative in nature or based on our academic opinions as students.
The professor was not involved much, and if you did email him, his responses are brief. Took the class online, and all the answers to tests are in the book, or you can look in Quizlet. Do not take notes, that was my mistake. The only writing assignments are two discussion posts (responses to peers are not really needed) and an autobiography.
This was one of my easier courses but i really wished that it was an in-person class. The professor does not bug you and you are on your own with the class work, it's done on McGraw hill and its really easy. Theres only one assignment that is a research paper and was not hard.Overall I wouldn't take the class again based on the lack of teaching.
Took Family Psychology this semester and found it very interesting. Read and complete the chapter and section tests. One APA paper and 2 Discussions, pretty simple. Just wish that the professor was more engaged with the class and didn't put in grades until the very last day. Luckily, I ended with a A+, but beware of his lack of involvement...
Ended with a 97. Loved family psychology. Wish the professor was more involved within the online course, but nonetheless, enjoyed my time within the course. :)
