Prior to entering this course I was unsure of what to expect. However her teaching techniques are very intriguing. My major is biology but she has me convinced that I should change my major to Psychology. She is overall the best. as long as you do your work and listen you should have absolutely no problem with this class. Easy to learn. :)

Dr. Harsch was simply amazing! She puts her heart and soul into teaching and that shows. She is energetic and fun to listen to. As long as you come to class and study, you can pass with an A easily. You won't regret taking her class. She's the best!

Dr. Harsch is a fantastic professor. She's very well organized and clear about how she grades, due dates, and what information will be on each quiz and test. Her lectures are packed with picture and videos to give very helpful, specific examples of the topic at hand, and the work-load isn't overwhelming. Showing up to class is most important.

Assignments are easy/manageable and can be done with her notes or the book. She does not post her powerpoints on iCollege, so that means you have to come to class every day.

Her grading system is designed for students to pass. As long as you study and do the work you will be successful. Lectures are really detailed and informative. She drops the lowest grade on homework assignments/tests and gives extra credit. I must say that she is passive aggressive. If you can get past her attitude she is a good professor.
