You can tell he is really knowledgable and interested in biology because is very enthusiastic when he teaches. He gets his students involved in his lectures, instead of just standing in front of the class feeding you information in a monotonous voice. He is extremely helpful and tries to help as much as he can. Altough, he is a bit of a hard marker

Extremely knowledgeable, understands this all too well. Organized, although he often gets repetitive and wordy, extending classes and missing topics. Offers help during his office hours but is condescending during lab evaluations which is a put off. Ridiculously difficult marker who has his own definition for the word "distinguish".

He's a really hard marker but he does it to make you work harder.

He is a really nice guy, and very willing to help, however he is the hardest marker I have ever had, it was almost ridiculous, even if you know your stuff you cannot be sure you will do well. He is a good guy, but settles only for perfection.

Harris is a very hard marker, and isn't always clear on what he wants to see on tests. However, if you ask him for help he'll be happy to give it to you.

a very hard marker!

Greg is very helpful in class time. He's willing to ask the class how they want to be taught and what is helpful in his teaching. Yes, he asks for specifics but he does go through what he wants prior to quizzes.

Good guy, good teacher, but, to quote another rater... he expects students to READ HIS MIND. From a one sentence question, he expects EXACTLY a certain answer... very precise. That being said, his brutal marking has forced me to improve. At least I like to think it has.

Really nice guy, really hard marker. Pay attention to his handouts and to how he wants the questions answered, and you will do well. His answer formats seem to have a formula so get a hang of it and things will be ok. If you need help/clarification; ASK, and he's more than willing to sit down with you.

Greg is SUCH A HARD MARKER!! I enjoyed the material, but he was so specific and never gave any breaks on his marking. Do not take him.

He is a good teacher actaully. If you pay attention in class and study for tests you will be fine. The comments before are wrong to me. I found him to be very helpful, yeah he does have a way he likes to mark, but you 'll get it. =)

it was impossible to get anythingg in full marks in his class, if your looking for a bio course that will get you easy marks, then dont take him!!!!!! hee willl torture you when it comes to define/describe questions, and you havee no idea what he wants for answers! do yerself a favour and dont botherr takingg bio1110 if your not goin to work at itt

Mr Gregg Harris is a nice man, but his marking scheme is extremely difficult. Unless you've memorized the textbook, you're not going to get full marks. Slight spelling errors could give you an entire question wrong. I would be his friend as he is not a mean person, but I would not like to be a student.

Excellent always willing to help. Is a strict marker but tells you what he is looking for. Classes all have a quizz.

BEST INSTRUCTOR IN KWANTLEN!!! Extremely nice and helpful. If you're looking for easy marks then he is probably not the instructor for you, but if you like interactive interesting lectures then his are the best! He is a hard marker but if you are there to do the work and attend the lectures he tells you exactly what he is looking for.

Greg is an awesome teacher, he marks really hard but as long as you study and do your lab work you will do fine. He really helps if you see him in office hours he will take the time to explain anything to you. Overall an amazing teacher that i will definately take again in the future.

Very tough marker, a C in his class would probably be a B or higher in any other biology class.

Excellent Prof. ONLY for serious Biology students. If you really want to know about Biology, take his class. If you are just taking this course as an elective, DO NOT take this course because he is extremely HARD MARKER. NOTE, this course will bring your GPA down. got A+ on most of other science courses but got B- on this course. Hardest prof ever.

Excellent teacher, just need to ease up on how he words his questions. Very picky.

Course covers extremely time consuming labs,more material than time we have. Answers in tests have extremely high expectations of the quality of answers to get decent marks. Very different style required to answer a question. Should definitely practice answering questions before any quiz.

Very tough test marker, very hard to get an A. He's a bit too reluctant to give full marks on test questions, therefore: Get him to explain how he wants certain questions answered; Make sure you look over your answers thoroughly to be sure he didn't miss anything; Go in after tests and make your case for marks and you will likely get a couple.

It's funny to see all the comments whining about how hard his classes are.Welcome to the real world kiddies.You have to earn it. If you actually care about learning properly take Greg's class. He's passionate about the subject and very clear about how he wants specific questions answered and if you can do that and put in the effort you'll do fine.

professor harris is one of the best He was a very tough marker and he was tough in the labs. I did what he wanted and learned a lot of valuable lessons that are needed in the healthcare field such as how to deal with tough boss, detail oriented, following instructions. I just kept a positive outlook and realized early that he was helping me alot

Greg is an amazing teacher. He is very passionate about the subject and it's contagious. If you follow his formula for answering questions it's easy to get a good mark. You have to try hard in this class but this is University after all. You should be trying hard anyways. I am already planning to have him for Biol 1210!

Classes don't always finish on time ! Talks a lot ! Willing to help always

Cares about teaching and finding new ways to get ppl interestedlearning. Hard marker but if you follow his question-answering format, you'll survive his course. He picks on everyone to answer but it's okay to say you don't know the answer. Clear, straight forward, long lectures. If you want a strong base in bio, take him.. not for elective!

greg's a nice guy but is very tough in his marking. lectures always feel rushed. he takes his time through the beginning then rushes through the last 15 slides in 20 minutes explaining things in minimal detail. and leaving no time for notes. USe the textbook though along with you notes and you should pass the class. available during office hours

Hard marker, especially at the 1000 Level. Once you get past that it gets way easier, and you can tell he is passionate about what he teaches (Ecology, Conservation)

For biol 2322 and Biol3XXX, Greg is a really nice teacher who teaches at a good pace, he uses lots of examples so you understand the concept. He is very particular on tests, which in itself aren't too hard, but he marks quite strictly.

While Greg is a tough marker, he makes it very clear as to what he expects from you. Biology is a difficult course but he makes it enjoyable with the passion he shows for the subject matter. He's always happy to help and clarify concepts. As someone who loves Biology, i highly recommend him! He knows what he teaches!!

Greg is a super sweet guy and genuinely cares about his students, both their learning and well-being. His tests aren't as sweet as he is unfortunately. The quizzes are not bad if you study the weekly material but the tests are doom for your mark. There is not enough time to write excellent answers to the copious amount of material on the tests.

He does expect a lot from you but he's willing to help you in any way that he can. He spends his office hours in the library and will go over any tests or concepts that aren't fully understood. If you put in the work, the results will show. Would highly recommend !

Very good professor but is a tough marker

Greg's passion for biology & his enthusiasm enhance the course content. To those pursuing medicine/biology/environment: this class will shape you into an excellent student, but be prepared. He's a difficult marker for those who do not follow his strict answer requirements, but he continuously reminds students of his expectations; pay attention!

Greg is one of the best Biology professors at Kwantlen. Hes a tough grader, but youd thank him for being hard on you. Fun lectures, knows what hes doing. Enjoyed the class

He is a tough grader, but he has good reason for it and he makes sure the class knows EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS. So really, there isn't really an excuse to call him a bad prof for his tough grading. He is extremely passionate about biology, he's a charming Aussie, and he offers tons of office hours to come see him and talk about any of the tests done.

Greg is a tough marker. Textbook for this course was unnecessary to purchase everything tested except 2 questions out of all quizzes were reading objectives. Pretty much only need lecture notes. He does NOT post lectures online so you will need to schedule a time to pick up what was handed out in class. Barely any chance to boost your grade.

I took him despite of the bad review. his quizzes are not that bad as long as you review the course content for each week and do your reading objectives. his midterm is really hard. He does not just read the slides, he explains it thoroughly and knows what he is doing.

Greg's a tough marker, but he's got a solid pattern that he expects followed for the questions. If you stick to it, there's really no going wrong. He does expect a scientific writing style, and tends to mark more harshly if you stray towards more of an English essay feel. Excellent prof that definitely prepared me for later bio classes!

Through the first month you may perceive Professor Harris as a bad professor, however as you progress through his class, he turns out to be quite the opposite. Prof Harris always responds to emails, he does his absolute best to help you understand material, and he wants you to succeed. He is a fantastic Biology prof if you are willing to work hard.

HE IS ATOUGH GRADER BUT A VERY GOOD PROFESSOR

He is a good prof. But focuses more on your English rather than your knowledge.He grades super tough
