Comment:
Really cool guy, he's a riot in class. Grades essays very harsh, which can be stressful. He does allow rewrites on earlier essays, so if you need them, use them. Not the best professor I've ever had, but if you're into theater, I'd say go for it.

Really cool guy. You can tell he really loves talking about theatre and always tries to engage the class. Great sense of humor, likes to scribble "flowcharts" on the board. Very helpful and understanding guy, rewards hard work and insightful thinking. Take his class! Really fun and a little different from your typical english class (in a good way).

Take him for english 110. He is a hard grader, but that comes from experience. You will read a play most days and at the end of two or three write a paper of your choice on the writings. You has lots of energy in class abd wants you to channel that energy into your papers. Take advantage of rewrites and meet with on office hours, HELPFUL!

Thea 104 is suppose to be an easy A class and he took this class way to seriously, do not take it, even if you pay attention and go to every class, there will still be questions on the test that you're not sure of. Test are very tricky and he calls students out multiple times, embarrassing them in front of 300 kids. Don't take his class

Dr. Kainoa Harbottle is easily one of the best educators I've ever encountered. He makes the class fun and enjoyable. I LOVED going and I never wanted to miss it. Grades pretty hard, but you can always resubmit essays or send them in/meet with him before submitting anything. He's VERY helpful in office hours. Great Professor. Great guy! Take him!

Educator by day magician by night. More like an idiot by day and a bigger idiot by night. He is HORRIBLE. He rants and rages at the class for no apparent reason. He grades papers like you should be an expert writer. He's a jerk. he is not funny, or intimidating. Yet, he thinks he is. When he yells i cant help but laugh. Don't take him.

Kainoa Harbottle is the man. I can see why people would think he's a tool and he does have a bit of a holier-than-thou attitude. But he's really funny and he makes the class enjoyable. He's really helpful and you can always ask for feedback on anything you submit before submitting it. Great guy. Very helpful and approachable. Take his classes!

Amazing teacher! He expects a lot from his students but he lets you rewrite the first few papers and lets you conference with him to make sure you're on the right track. He doesn't have a strict lesson plan, just lets students discuss and debate in class. He's crazy but it makes for an interesting and fun class. Highly recommend taking him!

His holier-than-thou attitude made me lose respect for him quite quickly. If he wasn't acting like such an arrogant jerk all the time he would be a cool guy.

Great professor. Not too hard; he put up with my very limited interests in the subject he chose for the semester. Effort and attendance are rewarded.

He was a really great professor. Had a quirky sense of humor but it made me laugh. Didnt have class on the days papers were due. Very helpful if you go to office hours, and be careful what you say, he will call you out (in a fun way though). Def. take him if you want to actually improve yourself.

Great teacher. Very helpful but a tough grader. You have to work hard for a good grade. Definitely meet with him to go over papers and send follow up emails for him to revise them again. Class is always interesting and never takes up full 50 minutes. Don't be scared and you'll really enjoy the semester.

He's got a pretty bizarre personality and he's pretty funny. He grades pretty difficultly, but we hardly stayed the full 50 minutes and we didn't have class atleast one day out of the three days a week we had class. He is stiff about showing his magic tricks, but when he does show them, they are amazing!

Professor Harbottle is a GREAT teacher. I definitely recommend him for E110. He really improves your writing style and makes class fun. Don't get scared out of sticking with it, he promises a lot of work, but it's hardly anything. Definitely take this class.

KH obviously wants his students to be great writers, and is very willing to work with his students to achieve that goal. He does not assign tons of work (three essays and a research paper), but he is a tough grader. You definitely earn your grade. Also, he lets you revise your first two essays. Overall, I definitely recommend him.

Gothic Horror Honors section. Really good professor. Likes to scare students out of the class by promising alot of work, but not as bad as he makes it. Grades papers fairly tough. Research paper has alot of steps that force alot of work, but he basically skims it for your grade, so very easy. Is usually available for conferences at any time.

It was a good class and he was a really helpful teacher. It was also fun, a hard class to fall asleep in, which is impressive in college. Overall, very good teacher and he was funny.

I took his magic class, and it was one of the best classes I have ever taken. I highly recommend this class, it was so enjoyable especially after the first couple weeks. He is definitely of my favorite teachers, really fun, funny, smart and helpful. I thought he was hot too in an offbeat way.
