Class very easy, don't buy the text. Take good notes b/c tests are generated from them. I had one 5 page paper to do, it was easy. Very nice, jokes a lot in class, can be boring at times, but overall I enjoyed his class.

Excellent teacher, highly recommend to take Human development class, you will learn a lot about yourself.
this dude is awesome, doesnt care if u miss class-just keep up with work. interesting class, EASY grader, and tests. take him hes awesome
Abnormal psyc from a guy who understands it, seems that he has met a million people, great lecturer with unfunny jokes, very dry humor. One 5 page paper that is easy, tests are multiple choice and 4-5 short answer, take him to learn about life
TAKE HIM!!!! I LOVE THIS MAN!!! HIS CLASS IS WHAT A GENED SHOULD BE LIKE...SOME OTHER PROFESSORS NEED TO LEARN FROM HIM!!!! HE IS AWESOME
boring teacher but gets the job done. hard to stay awake. easy C
He is a great teacher. I had to miss a test of his and he was very kind and let me post pone the makeup until a week later. Very nice guy and the tests are fair. If you study and take notes, it's an easy A
one of the better teachers in Towson... FUnny as all hell, go to class to understand everything...tests are easy if u study TAKE HIM FOR PSYCHOLOGY!!!
Funny and easy class, Don't need book, just study for your notes, easy B, and a easy extra credit is very helpful, Optional final, the final only help not hurt you. TAKE HIM.
easy grader. great teacher only wants you to pass also offers extra credit for your final grade.
so easy, i love him, he is awesome. great teacher
Take this class. It's easy, there's only 4 tests including the final. Offers extra credit and is willing to help you out any way that he can. He's a really nice guy.
Amazingly interesting professor/man. Tons of interesting anecdotes to correspond with the curriculum. Buying the textbook is unnecessary (I didn't crack it open once). Just show up, take notes, and study before exams. Great class!
Great teacher!! he is very clear what is going to be on the test and teaches the material very well. if u have the chance, take this class
Great teacher, Great class. Very funny. I went to every class mainly for the humor. Was also very clear in what you needed to know for tests. Didn't need the books either.
Whoever said "easy C" must be brain dead. Great teacher, funny guy, easy going, and an easy A. Makes class fun and interesting and gives clear expectations. Awesome teacher!
awesome teacher, keeps you interested through out entire course, usually done in an hour
Great, awesome, terrific! This guy makes learning fun. He is funny and animated. He jokes with you and keeps your attention. If you participate regularly he can be your biggest assest when final grades come around. Lowest possible grade: B! I got an A!
Easy class, barely used the textbook if ever. Gives you extra credit. Funny guy who seemes to have quite a bit of experience in his field based on the stories he tells in class.
Wierd, nice guy, thorough prof. Test are ALL lecture- DON'T BUY TEXT! adds alot of real-life exp., keeps class interesting
he is such an amazing teacher. you need to take him for human development to get the whole experience. he welcomes questions and comments and gives so many real life examples that you can't help but understand what he is talking about.
A great teacher. His field experience stories are amazing. Very helpful if you don't understand the material. This professor deeply desires you to succeed in his course and will help you reach that goal. An overall great teacher.
Great Prof! Tells lots of stories relating to topics. Don't need to buy book, tests strait from lecture. Talks softly, sometimes difficult to hear, try to sit close to front.
Good professor, but I just couldn't do well in his class. Maybe I need to be his patient instead. I got a C and I really studied. I think I spent at least 45 minutes studying for the midterm and I only got a B. Maybe I needed an hour. Sigh.
i love dr. harris. hes one of the best professors ive had. his class is fun, hes very witty, and the tests are easy. doesnt write much on the board, so take good notes. i never opened my book though, and got As on all of the test.
i thought mr harris was an awesome teacher because he was really funny and he had unlimited stories from his years working with patients that made the class more enjoyable. he almost always let us out early and his tests were easy as long as u came to class.
he's real cool, study you will get A's. interesting class and he's a funny guy. repeats his jokes sometimes but i like them anyway. take this class
Human development and abnormal psyc were made very easy because of him. All the tests are based solely on his lectures. Don't buy the book! There are papers in both classes but he tends to grade fairly easy.
NICEST GUY EVER!!! EASY CLASSES. WANTS YOU TO DO WELL. YOU WOULD HAVE TO TRY TO FAIL. A'S IN BOTH CLASSES TAKEN!
awesome professor.. always has alot of stories to tell about experiences with patients, makes it really interesting. I have the friday 3 hour class and we're never there the full 3 hours. Tests are not hard at all if you just look over the notes you take in class. Don't bother buying the book
Best professor I've ever had. Made the material interesting, was surprisingly funny and the tests were not hard. Got a B without trying. Don't buy the book, I wasted $100 on it. Teaches straight from lectures. Gives opportunities for extra credit when possible. My favorite class that I've taken at Towson by far.
really good class. prof is clear, and tests are not bad at all. dont need to read the book - tests are from lectures. he gives lots of good examples and tells funny stories. i'd take this prof again.
Super cool professor. Lots of entertaining stories about past clients. Nice guy!
Makes abnormal a fascinating class! Keeps your attention with amusing stories and exams are straight from his lectures- no book required
Dr. Harris is the best teacher I've had at Towson...he's part of the reason I am a Psychology major. This is the second class I've taken with him. He has great stories about his clients and the class itself is not particularly hard You don't really have to buy the book, just come to class and take notes on everything he says. Tests are MC and essay
Very easy class. Hes a cool teacher and he makes the subject pretty intersting. He makes funny little jokes about sex and divorce. I reccomend him.
Great teacher! he's really funny and makes the class interesting. Class is pretty easy, you just have to show up, listen, take notes and do some studying. Test are straight forward, multiple choice and 4 short answers. I would HIGHLY recommend taking him.
Best teacher I've had at Towson. No need to buy the book. Just go to class and take notes and you'll be fine. I found that I didn't even have to study much because he made paying attention so easy. Has great stories about personal experiences. Tests MC and 4 short answer. DEFINITELY take this class with him. If you don't you're missing out.
Great teachers!! Don't buy the book, some info in class contradicts what's written in the book. Very nice, knowledgeable professor. Very lenient with grading, and gave 2 really easy extra credit assignments. Take this course with him!!
4 exams based on class notes, not an attendance taker, didn't even bother to buy a book.Just study his notes then u will do at least a B on exams. Good Luck!
He is a clear teacher and kind of easy. I got the book and a lot of material is actually from it, so... Anyway he cancelled class a lot and gave two extra credits, which is amazing. His big thing is coming on time to class. overall good man, good class, good teacher
Boring class. Sat for an hour and 15 minutes staring at the clock. He's a nice guy and gives extra credit, but is sooo boring. He tries to get you involved, but my class was kind of stubborn. He tells a lot of stories about his experiences as a psychologist which are interesting (strays off topic) but for the most part he's alright.
GREAT teacher! He is very clear when he explains things, and he won't move on until everyone gets it. His tests are fairly easy, but you should still study! He's very funny, I had him on a friday afternoon class, and he'll keep you entertained! He's an easy B!
He's a great teacher and a great guy in my opinion. He really WANTS you to understand the material. Tests are easy, just study the notes. I barely used the book. Pay attention, show up, and you'll do fine.
This is my 3rd class with prof. Harris and he is by far my favorite prof. at Towson. All you need to do is show up (don't be late) and take notes, you don't even need the book. The best part is, on top of being easy you actually learn something. I've had him for intro, developmental, and abnormal psyc and he's awesome in every class.
dr harris is a good guy and wants you to learn the material. you dont have to buy the text book just go to the first class and give him your email and he emails you the notes for all his tests. tests r pretty easy and are from the notes...easy psych 101 teacher
good guy and easy teacher... lectures can drag on at times but a lot of the material is pretty interesting and applicable...don't buy the text book, he doesn't test out of it.... sends all the notes to you through e-mail, just study those for the test and you will be set with an easy A
LOVE this teacher, he is so easy, never used the book once and got A's on the tests. He emails his notes out and tests come strictly from those notes. hes amazing <3
Dr Harris is awesome - def dont have to show up for class, but his style is interesting - sometimes he kinda wanders of in his brain - but he is a trip. study guides given out, dont need the book @all. enjoy!
Dr. Harris is a very dedicated professor and goes the extra mile to help his students. I received an A in the course, however, I didn't think the tests were as easy as others have said. He includes a good bit of biology in his lectures and it would be beneficial to enroll in other courses that he teaches prior to taking this course. Good luck!
One of my favorite teachers. He makes the subject interesting and really wants you to learn. He lectures a lot but they're always very clear. Take good notes because all the test material comes from his lectures. He's a very sweet guy! Take the class!
not mandatory to go to class but you miss a lot if you do. he is quiet and funny when you dont expect it. he gives you all your notes before each section and goes over key points for exam.very straight forward but you do have to study. i havent really looked at the book and ive done fine. its pretty expensive anyway so you dont really need it. grea
BEST TEACHER EVER!!! I took him for two semesters and was never bored in class. He uses examples to explain everything. You will learn so much without even realizing it. I found myself relating his class to my life in many ways. You should take him if possible!
Wonderful to say the least. He has monotone way about him so do not go to his class sleepy, but other than that he is great. He will help you with anything. He teaches what he test on. He is a great teacher i learned alot, he kept it interesting. It's an easy C but for B or A you must give it your full attention.
great class...fun and interesting! easy, dont buy textbook! great professor and gives extra credit paper!
Pretty good class. He is a funny old man, who trys to crack jokes all the time! He gives you a compelte transcript of his lecture for the semester on the first day. Most of the test material comes from that and his actual lecture. I never cracked the book. 4 exams and extra credit! Take him!
Love this guy, he's too cute. Makes tons of jokes. Just has a great disposition. Tests aren't too hard at all (there are 4 of them, mult choice & short answer). Def. take him for abnormal psych. Always injects a good story or two into his lectures. Good man! Think very highly of him!
Awesome teacher, he relates things to real life and is funny. Very nice old man. Definitly take him!!
great teacher, easy A, always availabe for help(not that u will need it) makes jokes about the subject, dont buy the book, everything u need he gives on the first day of class, take it
I enjoyed this class and would highly recommend Dr Harris to anyone, psych major, or not.
Nicest person! I loved going to his class. If you can take him, do it!
Nicest man you will ever meet..cracks jokes...4 tests that are fairly easy if you study..he gives you a study guide for the whole course on the first day..Do NOT buy textbook..We never used it at all...take this class
The greatest teacher ever, you don't really need a book, everything is on a study guide. Very helpful. Just a wonderful person. I recommend taking his class.
Very nice teacher! Jokes around a lot (even though some of his jokes aren't that funny...but at least he tries)! Very helpful....always willing to help his students. Only 3 tests (not too hard)....and attendance isn't mandatory. Overall, a very interesting class
BEST TEACHER EVER! if i can take him again for another class i definitely will!! 4 tests, very straightforward, pay attention in class and youre fine. a few mini essays on each test which he tells you almost exactly what they will be on the day before the test. AWESOME TEACHER, TAKE HIM!
He is a great professor. Very knowledgeable about the subject and very helpful. Tells jokes that no one really understands but he tries to make class fun. Tests are easy and come from the study guide. No textbook needed and attendance not mandatory but the study guide makes more sense if your in class as he goes over it.
Awesome professor..definitely take his class!
Prof. Harris is the best teacher in the psych department. He gives detailed study guides which the tests are based off of. Don't buy the textbook because you will never neeed it. Take him if you can
He was such a pleasant man to be around. He told you about 75% of what was going to be on each Exam. There are 4 exams with no final. He gives you optional extra credit to do. I got an A- PLEASE TAKE HIM
Great Professor! Such an easy class. Tells you exactly what will be on the exam the day before. Detailed study guide of everything that he will lecture on throughout the course. Very chill class. A little boring but he tries to make it funny. Very helpful if your confused. Never use the textbook, so don't buy it. 4 easy exams and no final. Easy A.
Really great teacher. He really knows what he is talking about and he is very nice. I didn't even buy the book but it was almost entertaining to go to class (but it's recommended for the tests). There is always a review and he wants you to pass. Take this class!
He's a very nice guy with a really cheesy sense of humor. The entire class is him sitting in front of the class talking quietly, so it's hard to pay attention at times. While he does give a study guide, I would still recommend taking notes to help stay focused in class. 4 easy-ish MC tests and an optional extra credit paper. I'd recommend him.
Take this class!! He is the easiest teacher,. He gives out a study guide at the beginning of the year that are his lectures verbatim. Tests are just multiple choice straight form study guide. Do not buy the textbook I did not even open mine, Hes a nice guy. Definitely take this class, easy A.
Great Professor! Easy class. Study guide given. Lets you know what will be on exam. Take him!!!!
Very easy going. Pretty good teacher, good sense of humor. Great study guides. Class lecture almost word for word off study guide. I came to class maybe once a week and still got an A-
Love this professor so much. He is so loveable and makes the material really easy to memorize with the study guide, take him for any psych class.
Harris is the man. He's so funny and knows his stuff. He gives you a study guide at the beginning of the year and all the questions on the test come from that. He just sits all class and talks.. no powerpoints or anything like that. Tests are alright if you study. Dont buy textbook!! It's useless.
He is a funny goofy professor. Provide study guides for each exam & allow 1 extra credit. Must take him!!
Dr. Harris is the best professor that I have had all of college. He is clear, interesting, can answer almost any question you have with a story from personal experience, and will make you want to come to class. Attendance is not technically mandatory but you should go to build a connection with him, and learn somethings, it will be worth it.
He can be described in one word AMAZING!! He is fair and honest with you about the field, i recommend everyone should take a class with him!
He was very nice, very funny and the class was easy but will take points if missed a few classes. Gives study guides which the tests are primarily but read the book for random questions on the tests. Also gives Extra credit.
Really awesome. class was easy and very cool guy. highly reccommend.
He sits on a chair and talks- the end. Okay...he gives you a packet that outlines what he talks about & what will be on the exams. There are 4 exams- that is the only place your grade comes from but he gives you a chance for extra credit. I took this 300 level class having never taken any psyc in my life & got a B. It's a breeze for psyc majors.
Awsome. The best teacher I have had. easy A. He hands out all the notes and the tests come straight from that. No midterm or final. 4 tests. Don't even have to go to class, but I didn't mind going because he made it interesting.
BEST OF BEST!!!cool is the word to describe him. you will learn and enjoy learning at the same time. i've never met any professor made learning so fun. pay attention in class and study the study guide and you'll do just fine. i would like to take him again for another class if i need. Best professor ever..
Dr. Harris is an INCREDIBLE teacher. You are lucky if you get to have him in your college career. He is so sweet and makes you laugh every day. You have a study guide that is literally the lecture notes word for word..it is miraculous how he memorized the study guide word for word for when he lectures! He will tell you what is on the test!
He is the BEST teacher. You will definatley learn and have a good time doing it. Gives a study guide for the exams and the lectures are based on the study guide. I didnt need the book. He has 4 exams (multiple choice/some short answer). Great class & Great tecaher, TAKE HIM!
Professor Harris is absolutely amazing. I had him by chance when I was placed into his Psychology 101. I then chose him for Psych 203 and next semester I will have him for Psyc 361. His lectures are really interesting and he tells many personal stories. His tests are fair, and the study guide he provides is very useful. He's the best!
easy class, take him! gives you study guide & tells you exactly what is on the test. don't need book, don't waste your money. doesn't check attendance, really only need to go the class before exam and the exam itself. don't pass on him!
Hello, I will definitely recommend this professor. He is the reason why I went into psychology and criminal justice. He is amazing. His exams are based on lectures, he makes it extremely interesting and easy to learn on the examples from his practice. He is funny and just purely in love with teaching and psychology. Take him! Trust me!
Take this class! It's great, exams are easy and he tells you what is going to be on the essay portion before you take the exam. He is so sweet and funny. Highly reccomended!
His class is cake. He gives you the notes the first day of class and it is seriously all that you need. Don't go to class it is a waste of time. Half of the time all we do is watch movies anyway. Once I didn't go to class for two weeks straight. It makes no difference. Take him!
LOVED HIM!! Class was really interesting and fun. Gives you study guide at the beginning of the semester that covers all of the test material. He really knows his stuff and tells great stories.Wish I could take him again!
Best.Teacher.Ever. LOVED him! He's so nice, and even though he just sits and lectures, he's extremely interesting. Always ties in his own personal experiences. Really funny and corny. We watched two movies. 4 exams. Study guide at the beginning of the semester. I would take him for every psych class if i could. TAKE HIM.
He is the best prof I've ever had. I've taken him for 203 and 361 now. Very easy class, gives a study guide at the start of the sem and it is all you need. I used my book for background tho. Attend class though, because he notices and will help you more/ bump your grade if he knows you've been attending.
Just took for psyc 203 and he is by far the best professor I have ever had. He gives you a study guide the first week of class and all his exams are based off of it. There is no final(cumulative). He only has 4 very easy exams. He sits and lectures, but they are very interesting and funny at times. He knows how to really teach a class well. Easy A.
As you can tell from other comments, he is seriously the best. Such an interesting man, plenty of great stories. Optional final if you're doing well. Great personality, great teaching style. Learned so much and loved going to class. Wasn't that hard. DEFINITELY take him if you can!
Dr. Harris was a great professor, he gives a study guide out at the beginning of the semester and all the tests (4) are directly from that! If you have higher than 90 in the class right before the 4th test, taking the test is optional. He also provides extra credit points for psych research(EASY) or a 2 page paper about a movie
Dr. Harris is THE best/sweetest professor i've had at towson! if you don't take him, you'll regret it! I would also recommend skimming the study guides before class so you can add little notes during lecture - bc he does tell you things that are not in the sg (which you may need to know for the exdam)! TAKE HIM!
Everyone else hit the nail on the head here. Harris was amazing, you dont need to read the textbook at all. He gives you a study guide at the beginning that has everything you need to know. 3 very easy tests that he tells you whats on it and a optional 4th test to replace your lowest score. I spent 2 hours studying for each test and got all A's.
He's a really sweet and caring man. He was one of the only professors that I really felt sad leaving. He's always willing to talk to you more if you need help, and he's not difficult at all.
Very sweet. tends to go off topic and makes a lot of jokes. Most of the material is on the study guide. Shows movies in class and has been known to pass out cough drops in the winter. Never made any effort to remember anybody's name. Most of the males became "Guy." But he really is very knowledgeable. Good if you are planning on working with kids.
Dr. Harris is the best professor I've ever had since my 4 years of university! He cares about all his students and is willing to stay and talk you about any issue you may have. Sweetest professor ever! I used to feel bad when I skipped class. Excellent Professor!!!
Professor Harrison is an awesome guy. He gives you study guides in the beginning of the semester; the test is based off all the study guides, so study the guide. I bought the book, some parts on the study guide wasn't clear. Don't come in late he secretly hates it. Do extra credit, totally worth your grade. Easy A-
Dr. Harris is hands down one of the best professors I've had at Towson! He's very knowledgeable, passionate about psychology, and so funny! There are 4 tests and everything you need to know is given to you on a study guide. Attendance is taken a few times but class is so interesting you'll want to go. Absolutely take him if you can!
Honestly, as you can see by the comments below, Dr harris is an absolutely wonderful teacher. Students in my class weren't very enthusiastic but he still talks about how much he loves teaching all of us. such a wonderful guy. would most definitely recommend his classes to a friend.
Very funny, always happy, obvious he loves what he does! Grading consists of 3 exam grades with an optional final to replace one test grade. Pay attention in class and attend the review days (he goes over EVERYTHING youll need to study for each test) He also gives a handout of the notes already typed! Definitely recommend taking any class with him!
Dr. Harris is the best professor that I have had in my college career. He gives you a study guide for the entire semester on the first day. Attendance is mandatory, he takes attendance on random days. He is very passionate about the topics covered in class. He makes it easy to understand. Take him!
Harris is awesome, very, very nice guy. All there is is 4 tests that are pretty easy, he gives you a study guide with everything you need to know on it and the questions on the test come right from that. He does kind of just sit at the front talking about the material the whole time, can get a little boring, but still a great, nice professor. Easy.
switched from the psych major but so happy I took this class! he is so funny and gives you a study guide so it's hard to fail this class. enjoyed going to class!
This teacher was the most unhelpful teacher I have ever taken. All he does is tell stories with very little connection to the class. I was so excited to take this class and it was awful. You have to teach yourself everything. He also makes very inappropriate jokes on a regular basis. Awful teacher, rude person.
Just an alright professor. His tests were fairly easy. Take notes and study right off the study guide he gives you at the beginning of the semester. He tends to ramble on a lot but if you ask a question he will clarify it. He's funny but sometimes makes uncomfortable jokes. I recommend him. He was easy and the class is an easy A.
4 exams. He gives you a large studyguide at the beginning of the year which has all the information on it. Just study that and listen to his lectures and the exams are so easy. No textbook use. Also an extra credit assignment but you shouldn't need it. So enjoyable and lots of stories from Professor Harris!
Harris is very dedicated to his students and you can tell how much he enjoys his job. 4 tests, 50 multiple choice each. Very easy tests that require minimal studying because he constantly reiterates the information so that you learn it.
Dr. Harris is one of the best professors at Towson. He has a quirky sense of humor which is entertaining. This class is very insightful and the trick to acing it is to thoroughly read the study guide he hands out at the beginning of the semester, which is just 4 pages divided for 4 tests. No separate final and easy extra credit. Highly Recommend!!
Dr. Harris is awesome! He is so funny and makes lectures interesting by relating the topics to stories from when he used to be a counselor. He gives you his notes to study from (in outline form). He genuinely cares about his students. Also, gives extra credit! I would take him again in a heartbeat.
I don't do this but great prof ever if I could I would take him for every class
Very easy class compared to my other classes. He has a hearing problem so you have to speak loudly for him to hear you. Overall easy class with a clear cut study guide and the lectures follow the guide he gives you. Take his class he was worth it! You do not need the book for his class! 4 tests 1 extra credit opportunity
He might be my favorite professor! He is the nicest man and he is super funny (even if it is the same jokes over and over). A little inappropriate but in a good natured way. 4 tests which if you use the study guide he gives you then they should be no problem. No papers unless you do the extra credit. If you can take him for a class then you should!
One of the best professors I have had in my college career. Harris CARES about his students unlike some professors I have come across with. Funny and makes you want to get up early and go to his class. Also very helpful. This is what teaching should be about.
No textbook needed, just go to class and pay somewhat attention to what he is saying. Can be nit picky for little details on exam questions, but other than that he tells you everything you need to know on pretty simple exams.
Harris is great. All you need to pass is read the study guide. His tests are super easy multiple choice and short answer questions.
Dr. Harris is an extremely helpful professor. It's rare to have a professor that makes it so easy for his students. He provides a study guide that covers ALL of the course information. It is essential that you attend class as he does cover some small information (trivia) that will show up on the test.
Wish he could be my dad. Absolutely love him. The amount I've learned in his class is amazing
Dr. Harris is a great professor and really cares about his students. I was very late two times to two tests and he still let me take them. His lectures are great, funny, and he only goes over the study guide that he gives you at the beginning of the semester, but his sense of humor and passion for psych make you want to go to class.
Professor Harris gave us a packet of about 4 pages which included information we were responsible for. No need to buy the textbook. Make sure to take notes on facts he says in class because they may show up as test questions. No homework, quizzes, or projects, only 4 tests with 2 extra credit opportunities.
Professor Harris is pretty good. He gives a syllabus at the beginning of the semester with almost all the information you'll need to study for the class. He tends to repeat himself and the same jokes often. He knows what he's talking about and gives examples but can be a little blunt. Four exams, no homework, no final. Don't buy the textbook.
Such a sweet heart, Dr. Harris. Took my last class with him and honestly, it's a total breeze. Four simple, straight forward exams. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Easy material. No book required. Excellent study guide with detailed answers which is basically all you need to get an A. Fun in-class movies. I genuinely admire Dr. Harris.
Hilarious but unappreciated! Really take the chance to listen to his opinions and info, he's a wealth of knowledge! Professor that understands that a class doesn't need to be hard for a student to learn - he hands out a full course study guide before the semester even starts. The book is unnecessary and he seems to know. Tests are easy. Great man!
Dr. Harris is the most kind, funny, and is a great professor. He made me want to discuss everything I learned to people outside of class- I learned so much. TAKE HIM!!
love him!! calls everyone "kiddo" u don't have to come to class but sometimes u have to sign in to show attendance and good attendance can boost ur grade @ the end. all multiple tests(4) w 2 short answers n he tells u what their questions r. he tells very important stuff in class that he doesn't put in the study guide and that will be on the tests
He's so funny!! Tests are easy and almost 100% off the study guide. Extra credit: connecting a movie you watched with class material. He makes class enjoyable and easy to understand. He's also super flexible and takes off Qs from the test if most miss it. We also watch movies in class. Pretty chill yet you learn a good amount as well.
Amazing teacher super easy, one of the easiest professors I have had so far at Towson. Highly recommend him.
Really nice guy and a great professor. He really knows a lot about abnormal psych, and he always gives a lot of examples to help you understand the material. He is also really funny. Only four tests, and a study guide is given. I would definitely recommend this class!
Dr. Harris is quite funny, at least I thought he was. His lectures are quite interesting! Your grade is only based on 4 tests, which are fairly easy. He also offers extra credit. I plan on taking another class with him. Enjoy Human Development with him!
He's a great guy. His tests were straight off of the study guide he gives out the first day of class. You don't have to show up to class, but he sometimes takes attendance plus he tells stories and jokes that are sometimes funny. He is willing to do letters of recommendation if you ask. Take him before he retires!!!
Professor Harris is a awesome teacher. Super nice and tells some funny jokes. Shows some pretty interesting movies. 4 tests & 2 extra credit movie reviews. Take good notes, follow study guide & you're good. Tests aren't hard, just study and you'll do great. Let's you out of class early. Great guy to talk to after class. Take him b4 he retires!!
Dr. Harris is a great professor. Much of his class is spent by him rambling and telling stories. He's not very funny but he tries to be; if you laugh along the class is very enjoyable. 4 tests with multiple choice and 2 SHORT answer questions. Take notes in class, review days tell you exact topics on tests and short answers.
He is a really good professor. he will give a study guide the first day that all the tests/lectures are based off of. 5 tests, no papers or other work. hes very understanding of missing class for legitimate reasons and will help you make up what you missed. basically he just wants you to listen to the material and pass. (laugh at his jokes)
Dr. Harris is a kind and knowledgeable professor. The study guide given at the beginning of class is necessary to do well, so study everything on there. Also, pay attention to the lectures as additional information is only verbal. Show up to class and be respectful. Multiple choice tests with a few short answer questions.
Attendance not mandatory but if you want an A show up. Easy A + some studying. 4 exams, 3 have 2 short answers but he literally tells you what to expect for them. He gives a huge study guide, but everything on the exams isn't on it. If you just pay attention in class you'll be fine. His grading scale is a huge blessing. quick grader.
So Mr. Harris is pretty cool guy. Tell stories a lot and bad jokes (laugh anyways). He just talks, no powerpoint. He has a study guide for the whole semester which is like exactly the tests he will give you. He plays movies a lot & leaves the room for you to watch. Has an extra credit paper on your fav book/movie. Hes a pretty good teacher!
Dr. Harris is the coolest professor I've had. He really cares about his students and gives you all the information you need to study/review for his exams. There's only 4 exams and the final isn't cumulative. There's extra credit which is so convenient for extra points. He tells very corny jokes but it really makes his day if you laugh.
A lot of people didn't like him because of his weird humor, but honestly just be nice and go with it and you'll have a fine time. The exams are easy, especially if you've already taken PSYC101. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he does have a sign in sheet.
A good professor, tries to be funny; just laugh at his jokes. 4 exams; 1/4 do not have essay questions, there are only two (not really essay questionsa couple of sentences @ most.) Does tell you what is going to be on the test, no hw, and there is an optional extra credit. Does not use Blackboard!
Dr. Harris is really nice and the class is insanely easy - just read the study guide he provides you day 1 and you'll be set. Minimal studying is needed if you take PSYC101 beforehand. Showing up to class is not necessary nor is it graded.
Graded on four exams based of the review guide Attendance is taken on random basis Review study guide and you will receive an A Text is not required You will not be in class the whole time Do not stress about his exams they are easy but each is worth 25% of your final grade Extra Credit is available as well
Take him, his class is so easy and interesting. His tests are pretty easy as well and lets you out of class often. Watch movies a lot. He gives you a study guide for all tests.
Professor Harris was amazing!
