Prof. Harmon is probably one of the most helpful professors I've had so far. The course is centered around the textbook, so be sure to do the readings; try not to fall behind. The quizzes are easy and the Etudes questions reinforce the material. Great guy, helpful teacher, very knowledgeable and reasonable. Cares about his students.

Professor Harmon is by far my favorite professor at Foothill yet. He's helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly, which is great. As long as you complete your assignments and show up to class, you'll pass easily. Professor Harmon isn't an extremely tough grader, and he's understanding if sometimes you can't show up to class because of some issues.

Easy class the quizzes are one try (async) and there is a final. No extra credit opportunities and doesn't accept late work. Aside from that it is an easy class he genuinely seems to care about teaching and quick grader. The homework's are super easy as well 5-12 questions per assignment all answers are found on the lectures super easy to follow.

Professor Harmon is great. His lectures are clear, at times hilarious, and incredibly well-structured. Weekly work sheets are easy if you read his lectures. He's also a very swiftr grader and provides remarkably thorough feedback. Don't miss deadlines and you'll have a great time. One of the most entertaining classes I've taken. Highly recommended.

Always gives timely, detailed, and genuinely helpful feedback on every assignment. It's clear that he puts in a lot of effort, and the comments are thoughtful and constructive. I really appreciate how much he cares about helping students understand the material. A great teacher!

Don't take BUSI 18 with this professor since he is a tough grader. Once he makes an opinion about you (without even meeting you) - you can't change his mind. Was cool at the beginning but then started grading by few things, if the answer is wrong, or not the way he wanted you to answer - 0. If you have personal problems - he doesn't care.

On the first day he said that this class wouldn't be your typical "easy a". He was right. every week was 3 long worksheets with lectures around 11-15 pages of reading. However, the outcome benefits the work as I learned so much useful and cool info that I will remember forever. His lectures were so funny and inspiring. engage with the work too!

Professor Harmon's BUSI 18 is one of the best classes I've ever taken. The directions are always clear and provided on time. The professor's original lecture notes are so interesting that I looked forward to reading them every week. He truly cares about his students, and I am so glad I took his class!

Very engaging lectures, and quick to give thorough feedback on assignments. One of my favorite professors, and I wish I could take another class of his. Assignments can be pretty difficult if you don't read the textbook or the lectures, but very easy if you do.

Prof. Harmon is firm but fair. He posts detailed bi-weekly lecture notes that cover everything you need, then grades quickly with constructive feedback that actually improves your writing and case analysis. Expect strict deadlines. Do the readings, brief your cases, and you'll crush this class. One of my favorite instructors so far.

For the first several weeks, there were assignments composed of multiple short answers after reading textbook per week. Last several weeks were focused on making a summary, outline and writing analysis paper. Deadlines of homework are strict. Professor Harmon really reads answers and made informative comments. Very kind and intelligent professor.

This class is not super easy, but Prof Harmon makes an A attainable and manageable. Do the work, read his lectures, don't fall behind. There are 3 assignments a week, all interesting and manageable. Couldn't recommend enough.

I was initially worried about taking Business Law since reading cases can be tedious and confusing, but Professor Harmon made the material really fun to learn! I really appreciated how he also took the time to read our assignments and provide individualized feedback every time. Amazing professor, I hope to take more classes with him in the future!

Professor Harmon is hilarious, caring, and gives lots of positive feedback! He's super clear about expectations, which makes the class easy to follow. Lectures are content-heavy and you'll have 3 assignments a week, but I 100% recommend his online Business Law course. He is one of the best professors I've had!

I did not like this professor at all. He treated this sophomore level class as if we are all in law school already. Assignments are worth nothing 2 quizzes and exam will be your entire grade so if you mess those up your grade is ruined I found his "jokes" in the lectures to be crude and gross etc. To try and put it nicer, he is so not a gentlemen.

This teacher is a tough grader, and you will not be able to receive partial credit. It's all or nothing with him. The 2 quizzes and final exam are worth more than everything you did in that class. His lectures required tons of readings. I would recommend studying and try your best with the professor. Everything is online, no in person!

His grading is all or nothing (all assignments are 1-2 points). Encourages SELECT/MINIMAL Ai usage. Overall, if he sees you trying in your work and test decent, it's almost impossible to do bad in his course. Very caring and gives great, detailed feedback.

I took this class online, and it's pretty straightforward. There's lots of reading, and you do have to buy an ebook. However, Prof. Harmon highlights exactly what you need to focus on in his lecture notes; he also gives you helpful feedback on your homework, and overall he cares about his students. I'd definitely take this class again!
