Mr. Harbison is my favorite! He is very nice and interested in his studen'ts progress.He has office hours and is always willing to go the extra mile to help a student acheive.He inspired me to push harder.Take Mr.Harbison's class.He is worth it!

Mr. Harbison is the easiest math teacher I have ever had. He is a little unorganized at times, but he grades easy, and he's not really meticulous like other teachers are. Also, he is good about only testing on things he has covered in class, and not on random topics

Great Teacher, I was able to understand the material clearly. He was very helpful and graded easy.

He's okay. He gets upset if ask too many questions. But he will help you in his office hours. He's a little scatter brained. He forgets a lot of what he should be teaching you.

I liked him. He tries really hard to get you to understand. I have taken tons of math classes and would recommend him to anyone. Not the best I have had but not the worst either. He is up there with my favorites.

I loved this guy and learned so much from him! I think he made learning stats easy and fun...one of the best math classes I've had. Lets you have cheat sheets for tests, which is great. Got to work on homework in class too. I recommend him! He is a dork :)

he gives the easiest test. he is there to help you as much as he can.

He is a good professor. Everyone likes him. If you are not good at math, you should take his class. Calculus itself is not easy. But his lecture is easy to understand.

I took other professors & dropped b/c they were hard and not helpful. I tried other math courses too. ONLY B/C of Mr. H's teaching style did I pass this class. I am not good at math, but he teaches so well, even I who sucks at math, learned and passed with a 78%. TAKE HIM IF YOU STRUGGLE because he wants you to learn and is helpful! Best teacher

Mr. Harbison is pretty unclear when teaching new material, but fortunately he's very good at helping you if you don't understand something, even in the middle of a test. This is a very good thing if math is not your strong suit. Also, he's just got this awkwardness in front of the class that put me, at least, at ease.

Mr Harbison is an outstanding teacher.His method of teaching is awesome and he encourages participation. When students have issues on a particular problem,he will thoroughly go through the problem and show many examples.Statistics all around is not for everybody.But 4 those who take interest & understand it will enjoy having Mr H as their teacher

nice guy

i think that Mr. Harbison is a great teacher. he is nice, has easy tests, an easy book that wasn't expensive and he doesn't give that much homework. he offers extra credit by doing extra hw problems. everyone leaves class early and he gives extra credit to the people who stay. he is a really nice guy!

He is an awesome teacher.

He is easy to follow and gives a review right before taking tests and quizes which has helped me a lot! He will give you hints during tests, and you can still get an A in the class and you only have to do a little bit of homework. Also corny/funny!

excellent professor. easy to understand.

**Used TEXTBOOK for sale** New is $100 at the bookstore will sell for $50...Very lightly used only missing 2 practice quiz pages. Excellent condition. Very helpful teacher and explains things so everyone can understand but STATS is hard subject matter. Cumulative final is a killer!!

Mr. Harbison is a funny nerd. His sense of humor doesn't always get you laughing out loud but nonetheless he does have a sense of humor. He's very straightforward and rather bland but he's always there to help. Tests= easy if you study.

What's wrong with everyone. Mr.Harbison is a very nice professor. Not an easy A. Just do you HW. HW are a lot. But makes STAT very comprehendable. Calc is a necessity. Seldom reply to emails. Quizzes are easy. Very straight forward. Just learn from your HW. Make sure you do it. Very lenient and understanding professor. One project,not hard. A+ prof

Mr.Harbison is great! He explained other ways to solve problems which were a lot easier to comprehend than some in the book. He's also funny and makes class interesting. Tests aren't bad just study. But there is a lot of hw but not too difficult.

Mr. Harbison is a real good teacher. He wrote the Stats book we used so he knows his subject real well. The benefit of this is that he will do an awesome job at his lecture. The test are good and very straight forward and are similar to the homework and lecture. Just stay on top of your homework and you should have no problem with the tests

Mr. Harbison is awesome. He made things very easy to understand and was always available in his office if there was something that wasn't clear. If you missed a class, write a note and he'll excuse it. Constantly got rid of homework, dropped lowest quiz and test grades and gives extra credit for pretty much anything.

Goofy is the first word that comes to mind. Good style. Homework is only 4% of the grade. Excellent reviews before quizzes and tests. If you write down all the formulas that he writes on the board, then youre almost guaranteed to pass.

Just take someone else! He could care less.

good teacher. i hate math but he explains things real real clear and makes sure everyone understands things. i liked him and def would recommend him to anybody. pretty easy as long as you take your notes, pay attention

Wth is up with the neg. comments? You probably had F's. He is humorous, helpful and understanding. He is one of the professors at SCC with a great sense of humor. Given the class is hard it takes work to pass. Do great on all the test and quizzes, do all the homework and the project was easy. Do your part, don't just rely on him. MATH LAB people!!!

Best of the Best Professor for stats. Very helpful and very good on grading quizes. Take him anytime summer or fall. He will make everything easy for u.

Excellent Teacher. Stats is very hard for me but Harbison explains very well. Best advice: never miss any classes, his explanations much better than the books are. Grades quizes/tests with leniency. Humorous and entertaining.

best teacher ever!!!!!

hey is a really good teacher and wants you to understand what he is teaching. if you need help he helps. lots of quizes tho. if your taking math Mr.H is the teacher you want to take

Good teacher he explains everything very well. Gives 4 tests, 4 quizzes. lowest score dropped. The project was easy. I would take him again if I had to.

Mr. Harbison makes math actually fun. You get what he teaches, great style of teaching, I learned a lot from him. He makes it so easy, sure there's homework, but its not that many, only 3 test and 1 final. If you hate math, I recommend Mr. Harbison.

Super cool and funny. Awkwardly funny. Like watching 'The Office.' Wants you to excell and lenient on grades.

Great teacher. Easy A! Lots of quizzes but he drops the lowest ones! Take harbison!!!

Mr. Harbison was great. He is a little quirky but he grows on you quick. He is generous with partial credit if you make a sincere effort on the quizzes and tests. He will drop a couple (3ish) of your lowest quiz grades. The book is online and only cost 30 bucks to access.

Like a combo of Nat Faxon from Orange County and Chevy Chase. He was confused sometimes, I think it had been a while since he taught CALC, but he was good. Master the homework questions and the tests won't be a problem.

I liked Mr. H, although he was quirky. His methods are a little challenging considering that he likes to write out a the complete problem. I think he should train people to use their expensive calculators instead of the old way. Just a thought!

Mr. H is a great teacher. He teaches in a very simple manner so that everyone can understand. He will drop your lowest test and quiz score to up your grade.

This class requires a lot of hw, but it's math so what do you expect. Funny in a weird way, like on The Office. Do hw and you'll do fine. I could've pulled an A...

Harbison may seem like he doesn't know what he's doing at times, but he's still a good teacher nonetheless. He's funny in an unusual way sometimes. The homework isn't too demanding and you should do well on the tests as long as you STUDY! The project has to be one of the easiest you'll ever do in your entire college career. I managed to get an A.

Awesome teacher, methods are rather strange, but I managed to get an A. Would definitely reccomend him as a teacher.

I took Mr. H for math 34, 100, 120 & I plan on taking him Stats. I been taking him for a while so believe me- he's a good teacher. He shows u different ways of doing a prob & accepts diffrent written form of it as long as its written correctly. He really does wants his students to do their best. He even lets you call him if your stuck on a prob.

Took him for math 28 and plan on taking him for elementary algebra. He's a good guy and helpful. A little funny in that math teacher sort of way. Expect lots of homework. If you do homework, show up to class, and are present for all the tests and quizzes then you should do fine, as long as your quiz and test scores are good. Overall great teacher!

GREAT teacher! took Math 100 twice (and failed) prior to taking it with him and I have been getting great scores on my tests and quizzes! finally understanding the material :) Lots of homework but quizzes and tests are easy! He is kinda of corny when he jokes around but I like that about him. Very easy-going guy! HE WANTS YOU TO PASS HIS CLASS!

Professor Harbison is a great professor.. he is easy to understand and wants you to learn..if you dont pass his class is your fault fo not trying...GIVES lots of homework and grades from 1-4 points with 4 being the highest..quizzes every week and test every two chapters. he drops 3 quizzes and 1 exam...YAKE HIM=)

His explanations were easy to follow and understand. He starts class with review questions from last class. He drops the lowest test score so don't get discouraged by one bad test score. He makes himself available to his students. Attendance is important and he takes attendance everyday. Pay attention to discussion and earn extra credit!!

Even though the subject is not easy, the teacher does a great job. He is helpful, flexible, with a good sense of humor, and organized. Do not skip sections, take notes, and do all the homework for the practice. Usually the tests are easier than the homework. So, if you do homework, you will pass the tests and quizzes.

I took this class over the summer. Everything's so easy: tests, quizzes, and homework. Homework were graded based only on effort. There were 4 tests and 4 quizzes. Tests were always 20 choices and quizzes were 10. He did a good job explaining stuff, only he always made a lot of mistakes. Got an A in this class! I would recommend him!

Loved this class! I absolutely hate math of any sort but he is such a wonderful professor. He is very friendly, lets you use notes on the tests, and gives out extra credit when you catch a mistake or participate in answering questions. Even if you have trouble with Math, if you see a tutor for this course, it is very helpful. Best math teacher!

He was so awesome!!!! He is really funny and does a good job at explaining things! He is a great teacher and is a great teacher for people with learning disabilities!!!!

I love this professor! The class was easy and fun as well. He has a great sense of humor. If I could take every math class with him I would. I recommend taking him if you can.

Harbison is an interesting guy. He is great for a certain situation and a nightmare for others. If this is your last math class you need, take him. He makes a complicated subject seem easy, however, if you need to take more courses, you might want a different professor because he skips sections and does no build a strong background for higher math

Pretty easy class! I took him over the summer after my senior year of high school. He could be forgetful and make critical mistakes sometimes, but no problemo if you're really paying attention to him. I loved his teaching style! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!

Mr. Harbison takes his time teaching all of the "easy" building blocks of math so that his students are prepared for the more difficult lessons. He creates a great classroom environment, tests and quizzes are super easy and you can use a calculator. I definitly recommend him for lower level math classes, take him if you can!

I loved this class and the professor, he really cared about us learning the material. I at first hated it due to my lack of interest in math but over time he helped me understand a lot. And I left his class with a decent grade. Wish I could have got him for 34 Aldo, but I will get him for 100 for sure.

Very good professor. Tests are not tricky which is great for any math class, what you take notes on in class and the examples he does is what you will be tested on.

Harbison is like if a sitcom dad taught math class. He makes bad jokes but is also very funny in that sitcom-dad way. He wrote his own stats textbook and the book is maddening, but he is extremely helpful and understanding of student's challenges. I'd go to class a lot because otherwise you can easily fall behind.

Good teacher, Im glad i took him for such a hard subject. He made the material easy to understand and is always available on his cell phone and replies to emails quickly with any questions you have. Funny nice guy, he has a passion for the subject which definitely shows. I would recommend him, u have to do the hw and make sure to attend class

The best Professor i have met so far. A couple of thinks to take care in class if you want to get an A. 1- Be Active ( answer questions he asks for tons of extra credit, dont miss a day ) 2- Be prepared for everyday class. 3- He takes 5 tests but will drop your bad one and pick 4 out of 5. Tests are easy, same class questions. Overall the best.

I loved that he wrote his own stats book so the homework is similar to the tests & quizzes. Make sure to go to lecture, because he tells you exactly how he wants questions answered or else you'll only get half credit on the question. I highly recommend getting a graphing calc because it makes it so much easier and faster. He allows cheat sheets!

Took his summer stats class. Even though it's a fast-paced class it was pretty easy. His lectures match his book/homework which matches the tests. One simple writing project that was worth a ton of points. He's easily available via cellphone & office hours. You can tell he really cares about his students and will do anything to help them pass.

Easy teacher and a good guy. Looked forward to math for once. Hilarious.

He's a great professor, I really enjoy going to his class :) he's always making sure he's not going to fast and if everyone understands during his teaching. He's really sweet to everyone and helps individually whenever needed. He's also sometimes funny even when he doesn't intentionally try to be.

He always has extra office hours and gives lots of extra credit for participating. Stats is a really great subject to take with him because he uses his own book that has the answers online. Tests are really easy just based on the homework. He's kind of dorky but in a funny way.

Drop 1 test and quiz. 9 percent buffer for homework and stats written report. He lectures right out of the book because he wrote the book. The test questions will be similar to the homework. It is recommended to read through the chapter before class, and ask for a homework question to be gone over during class time. One page notes midterm, 4 final.

Stats are more comprehension of English than they are of math. Harbison is great- gives plenty of opportunity for people to come by and meet with him after class if they are having troubles - I believe he has an office hour every day. Brand-new book only sets you back about 50 bucks. He's passionate about the subject he teaches- super important

He lets you use a calculator, notecard, and the table at the back of the book on tests! He even lets you use your phone as a calculator if you don't have one. Harbison is so passionate about stats and it shows in his lectures. Tests are just like the homework since he wrote his own book so they're easy to study for. He's the nicest person ever.

i hate math but harbison makes it soooo much easier!! this is literally the third time ive taken math 100 and im finally understanding it! hes really easy to get ahold of when im having trouble with homework and doesnt get frustrated with my math anxiety like other profs do, i plan to take 120 with him next semester :D

statistics is HARD but i'm glad i'm taking it with harbison. i actually have a W right now technically but i'm staying in his class because he says if i bring my unofficial grade up he'll add me back after the final but if i fail i keep my W, which i've never had a professor do before! he is the nicest professor ever and really cares about students

He's really odd, but funny. Although attending class is better for understanding his way of teaching, yo can still understand the work by going over his textbook. Had a writing assignment but is very easy and done through out the semester. Get to make cheat sheets for exams/quiz. WOULD TAKE HIM AGAIN!!!

We used the stats book he wrote which is a plus since you do not need to read a complicated math textbook---that's because he teaches you what is applicable to real life and not excessive math stuffs! If you come to class, do your homework, understand your homework, you will get an A! His quizzes and exams are based homework.

Prof Harbision's lecture was great and he compiles his own book for STATThat's why I chose his class and I know I made a right decision. His class was full with joy and humor. He made STAT easy to understand. And he revise homework very carefully. I'm not sure what grade I got but I did enjoy his class through the whole semester.

Probably the weirdest thing about him is his handwriting. Otherwise I'm so glad I took this class because he actually makes stats/math so that you can use it in real life which I've never had a professor do before. I wish there was another class I could take with him again

I think a lot of students believe he is the best math teacher in Sacramento City College. I know that I believe that. I passed his class without dropping a sweat. This is a class where you will get an B for showing up, doing all the online homework assignments and bring a calculator to class. Super cool guy who wants you to pass.

The review below me is wrong about extra credit, there's tons of it. Stats is hard and I wish I didn't take it over the summer but I'm glad I took it with Harbison. He had a lot of office hours this summer and I used a LOT of them and he never lost patience with me and really cared about me understanding the material.

I really liked this professor. I thought he was nice, caring, and really wants you to pass. He offers extra credit which helps a lot. He explains the material very well and tells you exactly what is on the tests. He is all over the place at times, but usually makes up for it by the end of class. Overall great professor and very funny.

Professor Harbison is the best! Do your homework. Take notes. If you are able to earn As you will be able to do it with Harbison! Took him Spring 2017. He's funny. Inspirational. Offers office hours. Extra credit. Drops low scores. Notes on tests. No complaints here!!!!

He's only tough if you let him be tough. He offers a lot of extra credit just for participating which really boosted my grade and I took him over the summer so it might've been harder than usual since it went so fast. I liked that he gave his phone number out to students and always picked up to answer my questions about homework and studying

easy class if you do he work!

He is an amazing math professor. Wish I could take for math 120. Great lectures on math.

2nd time taking. First time got F! Great prof. In all Stats class, youll fail if you dont try. He gives out the answers but he wants you to show all work to prove you know how to do it. He takes the time to help you understand why some things are done a certain way w/ step by step instr & how to use a TI calc. Take him! Notes allowed in Q, T & F.

Absolutely loved this class. This professor cares about his students. He will help you even if your not one of his own.

Great professor! If you have a tough time understanding he will teach you different ways until you understand! Overall do the online hw and his tests are relatively easy if you pay attention. BTW: be aware of corny jokes lol

I took him over the summer for 6 weeks and it was not as hefty as you think. If you do all the homework and ask questions during class, you will be able to understand the concepts that he teaches you. I had a busy schedule working 30 plus hours per week and still got a passing grade in his class. Take good notes and pay attention in class.
