Harrison's 102 class has been my favorite of all my classes. He is so funny and makes learning enjoyable with his relatable teaching style. I have gotten so much out of the class that I am considering switching my major to English. He is very down-to-earth but he gives you university-level essays. The class is fun, challenging, and rewarding.

Professor Harrison is by far the best professor I have taken in any subject. He only asks that you do the proper readings (pretty short) and write 4 essays and a research paper. He does not force class material down your throat but he makes you want to learn for yourself. He is hilarious and always provides a pleasant atmosphere for his students.

I decided to take Professor Harrison's Children's Literature class this semester as an elective and I don't regret it one bit. He is an amazing instructor and really cares about his students. He's supportive and helpful. I would take any class that he teaches. His class was workload heavy, but it was all worth doing. The best prof I've ever had.

I had a really rough start, but manage to pull through in his class. By far the best professor I have taken and if I had the chance to take his classes I would. A lot of work but mainly based on 3 essays with an optional 4th and a research paper and he helps you write a well constructed essay. great sense of humor youll never be bored in his class

Professor Harrison is outstanding at what he does. In my humble opinion, he is one of the best teachers on Pierce's faculty. Students love taking his courses, and I can see why. He encourages students to develop their critical thinking, reading and writing skills in a fun environment. I would definitely take more class from Professor Harrison.

You can work ahead and I advise that you do. If you stay on top of your assignments you can earn a passing grade.

This professor is clear in what he wants, but I would not call his class difficult. You need the textbooks because the hw is based on them, but if you do the hw, that's the majority of your grade. He offers extra credit if you can catch any mistakes he has made. If you do the work (which isn't hard), you will pass. I recommend him for eng101

Best teacher ever. There r multiple paths to take in his class, either the typical read and write a discussion every day or do something more important. I took the green or goal path, it had nothing to do with English, it was simply completely a goal u had for yourself and writing like one paragraph on how u achieved it within that class timeframe.

4 paths (standard eng, AI, goals, or critical thinking). I chose the green path, so I used the semester to do something towards my goal instead of doing regular English HW. 3/4 of the path requires a Zoom meeting with him. He's genuinely caring and very opinionated. Visiting office hours will do your grade wonders. Easy A & seems very authentic.
