Mr. Harman is an AWESOME professor. He genuinely enjoys teaching the subject material, actually cares about his students, and makes lab and lecture enjoyable. I would definitely recommend choosing this professor. However, this class requires a fair amount of studying but nevertheless, I would certainly take again.

I am so sad this class is over! I absolutely loved it. The lab tests are harder than the lecture but challenges are fun. He LOVES questions. Ask a lot of them. There was a lot of material to be covered-a lot of reading to be done. But he will make it fun. Maybe it's just me, but he really sounds like a cowboy! He's a teacher who wants to be there.

He works to help you in whatever way he can and is easily accessible through email and in class. His lecture and lab tests are just like the reviews, so do them.

This Professor is AWESOME! Dr. Harmon is by far the best professor I have had my entire college education (and I've been in college since 1999 with three degrees, so that's saying a lot!) He is very honest and if he doesn't know something, he does the research and finds the answers. He made learning truly enjoyable. I'm actualy sad it's over.

Professor Harman is by far one of the best professors I have ever taken. If you take the time to talk to him after class, he will very clearly lay out his expectations for you and how to succeed. His tests are not easy whatsoever, but if you study the material required and ask for feedback and ACTUALLY put in effort you will succeed.

He is a very easy going professor. He isnt picky when grading and will most likely give you partial credit before giving you no credit! His lectures are really disorganized and not detailed. However, you have a lot of resources that will help you. His test quizzes and worksheets are super easy. There is no reason why you would get below a A

I think the last student must be talking specifically about the lab portion of the class (which is designed and controlled by the Department) and not a good reflection of his lectures, which don't have partial credit, quizzes, or worksheets. Regardless, I think his lectures are organized, very clear, and a huge help with this difficult material.

Harman is fantastic at gradually ramping up the difficultyof each topic until you get the whole picture. Listen carefully, take good notes, and understand the images that he spends time on; I never used the textbook once and aced every test by doing that. When classes went online, he did a really good job teaching and accommodating the class.

Such a great teacher! When teaching complex concepts, he spent his time explaining it and drawing it out on whiteboard to make sure the concept was grasped.

There are no reviews but he gets his questions from his lecture slides so make sure to study those and lecture quizzes too. The best advice I can give is to get your lab grade as high as possible.

You will have a quiz every week in class his quizzes are exactly like the exams (all quizzes an exams will be practical's). Make sure to study outside of class due to memorizing parts and functions. I highly recommend professor Harman for lab. I came out with a 92 for the overall class grade.

Dr. Harmon is excellent at interpreting concepts in a digestible manner to make sure ALL students understand the necessary material. He's a very fair grader and he really does look out for and care for his students. He's very approachable as well, often promoting students to ask questions and uses irl analogies in class to teach. Would recommend!

LOVED taking his class! A&P is heavy but he's very passionate and always willing to learn from his students as well. Dr. Harman provides great feedback, esp during office hours. He's very kind and wants his students to succeed. One of the many things I learned from Dr. Harman; biologists DON'T know how to name things :P gonna miss his class!!

Prof Harman tries to make this class simple to understand. A&P 2 is hard but he tries to explain and answer all your questions as best he can. He offers office hours and answers emails pretty quickly. His grading criteria is very simple as well and he follows the syllabus to the dot basically if anything changes he does let you know :)

he made a hard class not difficult, everything he says in the lectures are on the exams, he grades fairly and wont take off points if he realizes he didn't really go over that specific question, he is great at teaching, he draws a lot of visuals for better understanding, very passionate and a great professor.

What a fantastic professor! He is always available through office hours or email if you need to discuss material. He looks out for his students and wants you to succeed, as long as you're putting in the effort and work. Super kind, intelligent and passionate about what he teaches.

Professor Harman is amazing, but this class is not easy. I took A&P1 as a 10-week course and if you don't study at least 4-8 hrs a week, you probably won't pass. There are no reviews, but he explains things well and you can tell he really cares about his students. If you really want to learn and understand A&P, I highly suggest this class.

Professor Harman is pretty cool and funny. AP2 is a hard class but as long as you attend class and put in the work to study you will do well. He is also very caring and he genuinely cares about his students succeeding in his class. No study guides here, this class prepares you for entrance exams so he is not a fan of study guides. Take his class.

Mr Harman is an absolutely amazing professor. He is super good at explaining complex topics in Anatomy and Physiology and makes them easy to understand! I would highly recommend Mr Harman for A&P. This course can be a bit difficult and you definitely need to study outside of class a lot if you want to get a good grade, but totally worth it.

Dr. Harman is one of the best professors I have ever had. He's so caring about his students and makes sure that they understand everything. I took him for both A&P I and II, but if you want to keep your grades higher, make sure to get as good grades as possible in lab exams and lecture exams.

he is the best teacher, he really cares. his lectures are the best and are very interesting. He always responds to emails and it's very clear what you need to study and do outside of class.The only negative is, it is a hard class in general so don't expect an easy A, but he doesn't make it any harder than it needs to be.

I took Dr. Harman for A&P1 and he was awesome! He made lectures super enjoyable and made a lot of sense. Expectations were set clearly up front on the first day of class and he didn't change those expectations throughout the semester. A&P is a hard class so you do have to work hard but Dr. Harman was supportive throughout the class.

He's a great teacher, and is very good at explaining the material in a way that makes sense. You definitely have to put in work outside of class (as with any content-heavy course) but his lectures are very helpful and interesting. He's always willing to answer questions and help you understand anything that may be confusing you.

One of the best teachers I've had. His lectures are enjoyable, he always gives out fun facts while lecturing and answers your questions if you have any. He has a quirk of always being late for both lecture and lab but if you need extension or reopen an assignments, he always gives it. His tests are very easy if you study the Powerpoints.

I suggest taking him for A&P because he absolutely loves teaching the subject. He cares for the students well being and he will do his best to be available to his students. With that being said, his labs were very straight forward and his lectures could sometimes be heavy. Some lectures of his you may find very dull like the respiratory system.

Doctor Harman is super chill and honestly one of the nicest instructors I've had. The best thing is, he doesn't take off points for spelling mistakes. Some of the exam questions are a bit tricky, but if you study well, you'll be fine. I highly recommend taking his class!
