Comment:

Mr. Harris is a sweet guy, he's very understanding when it comes to deadlines and gives good feedback. You do get mini assignments every week or so, but it's not hard. He knows the English literature very well, and he is more than welcome to help you if you are struggling. However some of his essays doesn't really give an outline which is hard.

Comment:

Professor Harris has a great personality, very kind and very forgiving with deadlines during this COVID semester. Lots of required readings, weekly assignments on readings. He struggled to follow the syllabus, so due dates were a little unpredictable. Essay topics were a little unclear. Final exam was pretty fair. Would benefit from having a TA.

Professor Harris is an absolutely dear old man who genuinely cares for students and clearly has loads of knowledge on English material. I enjoyed the conversations I had with him and gives great feedback for papers. however its Dec 17th and we have not been given back our second essay, term paper, identification assignment and final exam.

I withdrew because I wasn't a fan of the course itself, HOWEVER, Mr. Harris is very kind and has the greatest sense of humour. I hope I get the chance to have him as my prof before finishing school.

Mr. Harris is a great prof. I really enjoyed taking first year english with him. There are a lot of quizzes but if you read the material you will be fine. He also relates what you learn in the class to his own personal stories which makes it more interesting. Overall he was a super nice guy and always there when you needed help!

Really interesting class with an interesting prof. Expects you to do the work but the work is reasonable. Translations can get tedious but it's still a light course load given there wasnt any essays. Fair grader - put any reasonable amount of effort in and you'll do well. Super attentive to student feedback if you have to give it to him.

Mr. Harris is a pretty unique guy. He has lot's of funny stories and jokes up his sleeve, so get ready to listen in his class. Overall, a really good and underrated prof. Had a lot of fun in ENG110 with him. His quizzes were not hard, and the essays weren't brutal either. Cool Guy.

I have never seen such a bizarre class. Grade did not come from knowing class content but on quizzes where only character names and their spelling mattered. Most of the class failed for this reason. He is very vulgar and asked for a payout on the first day of class and belittled us all throughout the term for being stupid and poor.

Dr. Harris keeps it real. He is a very interesting person which helped keep the class interesting throughout the course. He is very reasonable when it comes to marking papers, and I would definitely recommend reading the books because there are quizzes and discussion sessions on them (and they're super good books!).

At first I was shocked at first to meet this man due to his interesting behavior, but after attending enough classes Mr. Harris is a unique teacher. Yes a large portion of the items he teaches I find personally boring, but the facts this man knows along with his memorable performances in many classes. Overall, recommend taking a class with him.

Personally, I really enjoyed his class, Mr. Harris is a very knowledgeable person and teacher. His teaching style is very unique because he uses personal stories intertwine with the books you read in class. Attendance is not mandatory as of marks but if you do not attend you will not know what is happening in class the next day.

Mr. Harris is a great prof. He makes the lectures as interesting and engaging as possible will lots of jokes and personal, yet applicable, stories. If you read the material (or read the sparknotes version in many cases) you will ace the reading quizzes. The essays are fairly easy too. You will get a good mark and still enjoy the class.

He's super knowledgeable, funny, and interesting! There are reading quizzes (almost) every week, so read the books. I got 83% on all my essays which is what I often got in highschool LA, so he's a good marker. His lectures are unique and fun to be in. I was not a fan of the discussion groups, but mostly because I hate talking in front of the class.
