EASY A!! MR. HARRIS IS VERY HELPFUL, HE'S YOUNG, SO HE'S UNDERSTANDING. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS READ YOUR TEXTBOOK. COME TO CLASS, SHOW INTEREST, GURANTEED A!
EASY A! YOUNG! MAKES HISTORY SOOOO INTRESTING
PROF. HARRIS IS GREAT.! I LITERALLY FAILED ALMOST ALL THE EXAMS BECAUSE I HAVE BAD MEMORY AND THE EXAMS WERE ALL FILL IN THE BLANK. BUT I WENT TO HIS OFFICE AND TRIED MY BEST WITH MAKE-UP EXAMS. NEEDLESS TO SAY I PASSED WITH A B.! I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN.! HE ALSO HAVE STUDY GROUPS BEFORE EVERY EXAM! AND EXTRA CREDIT. =)
TAKE HIM! He makes History so interesting & he will make sure he does EVERYTHING he can to make sure you pass
Nicest professor ever. His class covers a lot of information but he is more than willing to help you. Very funny and tries to make an otherwise boring subject very interesting and relatable.GO TO CLASS!! He will take note of who attends and who doesn't. If you have a 5:30-8, you can only miss 1 class. Take note Freshman.
The tests are very hard so studying would be helpful. He offers a lot of extra credit and assigns a few written assignments. He likes to talk and tell funny stories about himself. He is also willing to help any who needs it.
He's a very helpful teacher. He drop the lowest test grade and he curves alot :-) He's easy to talk to, and a funny. LOL. He's also young so he's VERY understanding. Go talk to him and do ALL the extra credit and read. A guaranteed A :-)
Take notes, read the book before class, and attend his study session (which he gives extra points for). He gives you so many chances at making an A in his class if you fail you didn't try at all.
Take this class
This has to be the best guy for the job at famu....he knows his stuff and he is funny with what he does. He is very very...VERY helpful....there is no way to fail his class....NO WAY!!! He teaches you what is on the test!...just do your work and ASK QUESTIONS! he will show you the way. Great Professor
Take Prof. Harris! I've taken him TWICE. Both times I received a high B. And that's only because I slacked all class and then tried to rush and do everything towards the end. But he is an awesome professor and I would take him again. Will need the book. GO TO STUDY SESSIONS AND MAKE SURE HE KNOWS YOU! :)
He is the BEST TEACHER EVER... He will help you out if you come to him. Very nice and very friendly. Nothing but joy in his class. I wish alot of teachers were like him cause college would be so much happier and stress free. You do have to read and write papers, but its very essay A...Brought up my GPA : )
I don't understand how he got all of those nice comments. RUN AWAY. I've never had difficulty in any class until taking this man. He says he doesn't "do drama" yet chewed us out every class. He was also late to every class and constantly told us "I don't mind failing you" or "go ahead and withdraw." His lectures are funny but off topic most days.
Avoid taking him! He never stays on topic & hes full of drama. You'll have to teach yourself in order to pass. All test are online.
When completing assignments make sure to do them EXACTLY how he asks. Tests are tough because there is a short time limit, but most of the questions are online. Get to know him, have conversations with him, show him that you are trying and he will help you. Attendance isn't mandatory but GO. Offers extra credit.
Professor Harris seems tougher than what he is. But DO NOT DROP HIS CLASS. No matter what. Attendance is not mandatory but if he knows your name and face he will pass you. My original grade was an F, I accumulated enough extra credit to get an A. DO NOT DROP HIS CLASS
Super nice and young.
Mr. Harris is the funniest most chill teacher ever. He's always full of energy (if you'e not the kind of person to handle perky people in the morning then reconsider) but he's fair about attendance and grades so don't drop his class. He gives extra credit and once he knows your name and face you're set.
super funny. his lectures are somewhat relevant to the subject matter but it is a reading then test only class. (no study guides, homework assignments or quizzes)
Kyle Harris is by far one of the best teachers you can take at FAMU. He is truly a blessing. Attendance is not important, like he says "we're grown." He also does any and everything to help you pass. Take him for as much classes as possible.
Professor Harris is GREAT. He's very understanding and is willing to work with you. Attendance is not checked because "It's your coins." He's very knowledgeable and loves what he does! If you're not a morning person then you might want to reconsider.
If anyone says he is hard, its because they didn't try at all. He is very energetic, and very passionate about what he teaches. VERY funny, and understand. He gives SOOOO much extra credit, and he doesn't take attendance every day. But dont a student that never came to class... because then he gets reluctant to help. He's good to his students.
Kyle Harris is amazing, he is truly a blessing sent from God ! it may seem like your failing, but attend as much extra credit as you can!!!! He gives SO MUCH extra credit!!!!! I would take him for all my classes if I could. Attendance is not mandatory so you don't have to come to class. BUT make sure he knows who you are ! MAJOR KEY!
Professor Harris is the most caring professor I have ever had. He's young, understanding and brilliant. His Exams are tough, but he offers so many extra credit opportunities that it's impossible to fail unless one simply doesn't care. He even asks what you think you deserve in the class at the end of the semester.
He's really an attention grabber and keeps you engaged. I absolutely love his class.
This was my best class during my summer b term. He's very energetic and passionate about what he teaches, this class opened my eyes to the society we live in. As long as you attend class and take notes during the lectures you'll do fine. KEEP IN CONTACT WITHOUT HIM THROUGHOUT THE SEMESTER. He's very understanding to things.
Professor Harris is great. Come to class although he doesn't take attendance he will remember your face at the end. Test are hard, but read the book you will be fine do what you are suppose to. Doesn't want you to fail.
Highly recommend .
Goat
Professor Harris is by far one of the best teachers I've had so far. The book is essential to passing his class, but he gives tons of extra credit and works with you as long as you communicate. Also, his lectures are great and it makes you look at things differently (referring to black society as a whole).
Do not take him if you're not going to teach yourself. He gives you online tests with a lot of questions but not enough time so you either have to guess or get them wrong. There is no way to take notes because he goes off track in lectures. Only way to pass is extra credit, wouldn't take again.
If you have an A, B or C at the end of the semester he will bump you to an A. If you have a D he will bump you to a C. But if you have a F there's no hope for you. He lectures (he's really EXTRA), gives a few writing assignments, and provide test through blackboard. Just do your part and you'll pass.
HE IS AMAZING! A GIFT FROM GOD! I LEARNED SO MUCH AND GAINED A WIDER SENSE OF SOCIETY!
He is extra fun. This class is a joy to come to everyday this class gave me life go to his office hours. He does take attendance sometimes not everyday. The test are very long 85 questions in one hour sometimes. Read the chapters and write the essays and see him during his office hours he doesn't want you to fail or make the class extra hard.
Amazing I Had Professor Harris as an 8am. He doesn't take attendance so I Barely Went because it's an 8 am... there were 2 major papers. The book wasn't used just take notes on lectures. All Test online so you can look up the answers. I passed With a "B"
Professor Harris is overall a fairly decent professor! He makes his expectations clear and will work with you. He works to provide the necessary resources and guidance to succeed in his class. Some of the doctrine taught is questionable, and frankly I did not appreciate some of the charged comments he made. Overall, however, he's a nice professor.
I LOVE HIM ! He is very funny and straight toward! He gives plenty extra credit ! He doesn't take attendance . But he's lectures and personality make you want to go ! I laughed all the time in his class
The things this man will do for you if you just come to class. One of my favorite enlightened teachers, who holds very intriguing intellectual conversations.
This man is the most passionate professor I've ever come across. And you can tell him Moore said that! He is a little all over the place when it comes to lectures and extremely playful but you will leave his class a more informed student, that's certain.
This teacher honestly makes history fun! Being a proud HBCU professor he makes sure that his black pride shines and that everyone is appreciative of their melanin. I learned so much history that high school teachers wouldn't dare to touch on. He is hilarious and makes it easy to get an A as long as you make the effort to receive it.
I had the pleasure of taking both AFA 3104 and WOH 1012 with Professor Harris. He conveys his expectations of his students at the beginning of the semester. His vibrant, outspoken, and unapologetic nature helped me blossom into an enhanced version of myself inside and outside of the classroom. Thank you for being unapologetically "Kyle X"!
Okay Mr. Harris is the best teacher to take for social sciences classes if you have the chance. He gives 5 exams but also gives enough extra credit to help your grades.
Absolutely awesome professor. Is very caring and will work with you for you to get a good grade in his class. You can't fail this class unless you don't come at all or do the few papers he does. He gives 4 exams(midterm in class; he doesn't drop that grade) & all the answers can be found online. His class is funny as hell.
Professor Kyle is the BEST professor that I have met on campus thus far. He is caring, funny and just overall an amazing person. He gives about 4 exams which are all online and one in class mid term. He makes sure EVERYONE has a good grade at the end of the class he does not want to see anyone fail. I bought a text book but didn't really need it
Professor Harris is one of the BEST professors on campus. You will probably fail one exam but he drops the lowest test grade. He is very understanding and gives extra credit opportunities. He gives you a chance to negotiate your grade as well as curving. COME TO CLASS so he will know your face. He tells the truth and does not sugar coat anything.
super nice super easy will pass with an A hes very passionate
Mr. Harris is one of the best professors at FAMU. His lectures are very entertaining and informative. He genuinely cares about his students and their education. He drops the lowest test grade and gives tons of extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. Juts make sure you go to class and do your assignments and you will pass!TAKE HIS CLASS!
Best professor there is
He's all over the place, but just show up to class he doesn't take attendance like ever but he has pop quizzes and if you miss lectures/videos you are outta luck. Also he doesn't really go by his syllabus so just go to class so you know what's going on. He has a lot of extra credit opportunities so literally use all of them and study study study!
He's very funny. You don't always have to show up he doesn't take roll he will have surprise quizzes though! STUDY for his test there will be 2 papers due. Lots of extra credit. He will talk mess about failing you or not fixing grades but I had a C and ended up with an A you wont fail his class.
Mr kyle is the GOAT. His test are pretty challenging, must study and listen to his lectures. He offers a lot of extra credit and it will help your grade. Doesnt take attendence but will have a lot pop quizzes when the class is empty.
Mr. Harris is by far one of my favorite and the funniest teachers at FAMU. There will be pop-up quizzes and essays from time to time. He gives TONS of extra credit and he will help you with your grades. Highly Recommended! Don't be begging him for more work towards the end because he will not listen to you. Do the work and pass!
Best teacher alive
Professor Kyle is a great teacher he does have heavy lectures in class and they are long just take notes and pay attention to the videos he plays. Do not skip class because you will miss a lot. He says you need the book but honestly, we did not use it his lectures cover everything. Overall Mr. Kyle is a great professor he is very funny.
Kyle is fuuuuuunnyyyyyyy. He has such passion for what he teaches and he shows a lot of notes and shows videos that go along with it. Tests and quizzes are never hard. Just know your material and bring your laugh box its gonna be a long class.
I loved Proff Harris his lectures can go a bit off topic but it helps keep your attention, his tests are not only textbook based but also about school history so look out for those. He gives extra credit opportunities at the end of class so look out for those. Easy A or B
TAKE KYLE HARRIS! Pay attention to his lectures, take advantage of EVERY extra credit opportunity because they WILL HELP your grade at the end. He is available after class. His lectures are important & gets hilarious when he gets off topic a lot. 2 tests, a midterm, & a final so 4 total. Easy A/B grade, just make an effort!
Hes the best and most passionate professor Ive ever had. He genuinely cares about his students and about African American history. Youll learn so much & idk anyone who has failed his class so if you do thats bc you just didnt care & didnt show up. Its an easy pass. Theres 2 short papers & a couple online test thats it.
Hes really funny. Just be open-minded and make sure to read the chapters of head of time & read it again as many times. Follow the rubric!!! Pay attention.
I LUV MR. KYLE. Let me start off by saying I took his class during the summer so Im speaking on how he teaches during the summer. This man is HILARIOUS, and so energized. You definitely wont get bored in this class. He genuinely cares about his students and wont let you fail as long as you dont do anything stupid. Hes caring and very respected
Hes very extra, but he just really cares about his work. Be prepared for a lot of his talking and his stories.
He is one of the best professors that Ive ever had. He literally changed my view of the world. Please try to speak with him as much as possible. If you dont go to class you might miss out on extra credit. He does random extra credit and attendance checks close to the end of the semester when nobody wants to show up.
Dr. Kyle is very enthusiastic and passionate with his class and students. He will offer a lot of extra credit. DO IT! If he knows you and sees you involved in his class and the community he will definitely pass you. Tests have some sneak questions so beware and make sure you network with your classmates. You will need it.
Professor Kyle keeps his lectures interesting by giving some of his life stories and it keeps the class engaged. Make sure to do the extra credit just in case you dont do well on the test. NO MATTER WHAT, DONT DROP HIS CLASS!!
I took him during the summer and he has been by far the funniest professor that I ever had. His storytelling is phenomenal and class is never boring. Beware of the pop quizzes because he will drop them without notice. Stay on top of every assignment and visit office hours as often as possible. The more he sees your efforts the better the rewards.
Brother Kyle Harris is well informed professor, you are sure to be inspired and entertained while he is teaching, He requires participation in school events on campus for a grade if you cannot attend because of work or class he understands and you are excused. He's really passionate and funny and a kind man you wont regret taking him.
He really wants you to pass and is so funny! His lectures get off topic but the stories he tells help class go by faster. You can talk to him about issues you need help with outside & hes actually very helpful.
Professor Harris is HILLARIOUS, his lectures are super long but entertaining. It is important to attend class and participate in events. His work is pretty easy but if you do not do well do not worry because attendance and participation will HELP A LOT.
One of the best professors I have ever had. Very funny and outgoing. in the beginning it may seem hard or overwhelming but HE WILL COME THROUGH IN THE END! You can tell her genuinely cares about every student and wants you to pass. Definitely a professor you can build a relationship with
Dr. Kyle is a 10/10. Yes he tells you that you do need the textbook but honestly, I didn't open my textbook one time and I ended with a 94. Just pay attention to lectures. He drops grades at the end of the semester and gives extra credit randomly so show up. I had a C-B the entire semester till the end I got an A. Take him if you can !!!
One of my favorite professors. He genuinely loves what he teaches, wants you to learn and be the best version of yourself. He will come through in the end if u have a bad grade but its hard to fail his class. We had 4 test all semester and they got easier as we went along.
Amazing Professor! Very caring, rounds grade up one whole letter, very funny! Lecture heavy, but you dont have to really pay attention like that.
He gives out a quiz every week based off of the book you have to read every week btw his class requires 3-4 books to read and memorize, He is very passionate about his class but talks way too much , for the assignments he doesnt really give out that much but does require 2-3 essays and for the final exam he gave his class 2 options essay or exam.
Attendance matters & has lots of grades.
Sweet teacher, very passionate and informative. Gives tests every day after class which is stressful to keep up with, but not hard. Attendance grades as well so make sure to show up! Drops most tests and attendance grades at the end though.
Dr Kyle was a great professor. Hes very caring and hes passionate about what he do. He doesnt believe in failing people so just trust the process. Theres a test every day but he drops a lot of them at the end of the semester and he gives extra credit towards the end of the semester. I highly recommend!
One of the best professors at FAMU! He comes to class everyday ready to teach. He is really passionate and loves history. However, you have to put in the work. Theres a quiz due everyday and you have read the text. He offers a ton of extra credit. He does provide the text for free. I definitely recommend you take him!!
Professor Harris was really cool. His attitude made things funny. He looks out for his students that put in an effort and show up to class. he assigns a bit of reading to keep up with and a few essays that can be difficult. Just show him that you are willing to make an effort and he will give you the same respect
Dr. Kyle is an incredibly understanding professor. He went to FAMU so he knows all the struggles that we go through. He also has a "life happens" mindset so if you know you're going to miss class, send him a courtesy email. Also, PLEASE SHOW UP TO CLASS! If he can match a name with a face you're more likely to get grace.
Dr Harris is an amazing professor. He lectures in depth and answers any questions. You can tell he loves what he does.
GOAT professor. Really passionate about the material and cares deeply for the students who show up and attempt the coursework.
Kyle is funny and makes the class interesting, attendance is a grade, quizzes every week so make sure you read the books. Participate with him so he becomes familiar with you, itll help your grade in the end. He wants everyone to pass so help him help you.
Professor Kyle has been my fav professor at famu. He is hilarious & such a great person. He simply wants his students to succeed. We took a bunch of quizzes that stressed me out but as long as you try your best you will pass with flying colors. You won't find many professors like Kyle. go to class & be attentive & you'll get an A. TAKE HIM!
His class is a lot of work. He's funny and will pass you as long as you try! He's not lying about that. However, there are quizzes each class, multiple projects/ papers, mandatory events, a lot of reading, and he expects you to remember the smallest of details! He's not very accommodating and spends most of the class time telling stories.
Loved Mr.Kyle!
Love him!
Best Professor at Florida A&M University. Very passionate about the work he is teaching! Understands the struggle of a college student and accommodates you well!
Take him!!! He's literally the best teacher at famu. His lectures are really funny even though he gets sidetracked often so just read for your own. He give us the pdfs for textbook as well. Easy quizzes just read. Lowest scores will be dropped. Participation and attendance make up most of your grade. He's really understanding so communicate.
If you see Doctor Kyle teaching anything, TAKE HIM! He's a great professor and very caring in regards to his students. He help you out anyway he can. If you showed up to his class and he knows you personally he will definitely help you out at the end of the year. Had a 87 B and he rounded it up to an A.
get ready to read, there are about six books you have to read. there is a quiz almost every day, and attendance isn't mandatory but sometimes he will take attendance as a grade. There always extra credit.
I love Dr Kyle! He is very caring and inspirational. He talks a lot but he is funny and his classes are interesting and make you think. you will have to read but it's nothing too major. If he gets to know you personally he will definitely help you with anything. and he'll make sure you pass
Excellent professor; lectures were very entertaining. You are guaranteed an A if you attend the extra credit events and read the books assigned. Only one group project, which everyone got an A on. It is literally impossible to struggle in this class. Highly recommend.
He will be on 10 no matter what time you take him
He will be on 10 no matter what time you take him.
DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS. HE IS NOT UNDERSTANDING AND HE GIVES US MULTIPLE ASSIGNMENTS LAST MINUTE AND EXPECTS US TO GO TO MULTIPLE EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK!!!
Take him !! He has quizzes every week that are easy if you read the chapter, many extra credit opportunities just show up and go to the events and attempt the quizzes and you will pass.
Professor Kyle is engaging and passionate. His classes involve a lot of reading and daily quizzes, but he drops the lowest scores and offers generous extra credit. Unstuck study was a helpful study tool. Overall, a manageable class if you stay on top of the work.
Dr. Kyle is an amazing professor, and it would be hard to fail the class; however, be sure that you read the required readings, attempt the quizzes, attend all mandatory events, and also pay attention to announcements he may put out on Canvas.
Amazing professor! You will be overwhelmed by the constant mandatory events, pop quizzes, and having to keep up with the readings, but Dr. Kyle is very helpful pass. You'll only fail if you don't try.
Dr kyle is a pretty good professor there are a lot of assignments you have to do outside of class like going to school events, but he is pretty reasonable about your grade as long as you let him know the situation beforehand. I would only advise to take him if you plan on going to the events because they do count as a grade
