Comment:
Dr. Harris is not the best professor I've ever had or the most accommodating, but some of these reviews are a bit harsh. He did chase a kid for leaving class early and came back out of breath. It was funny though. His lectures can be hard to follow but they have a lot of detail. He's actually a nice guy. Ask questions after class. Don't interrupt.

Comment:
He won't complete problems in real-time, he is demeaning to students, he is barely competent when it comes to technology, he is unwilling to be helpful in any aspect. As far as I'm concerned, his parents should've wrapped it before they tapped it. First math class I've struggled with. Take any other professor, please.

Comment:
Dr. Harris provides notes and lectures that are unclear and seem to only lean to his understanding. He uses pre-written notes which are very hard to understand and he does not thoroughly explain topics and suggests that most of this class is "basic algebra". He is also very rude and has yelled at students, 1st math class I've ever failed.

His lectures are completely over complicated with the expectations that we should have had this class back in high school and everything is a review! The exams are way beyond difficult than what is necessary; If you don't show up to (online) class at least 3 min; before it starts then you are just wasting your time because he won't let you in;BAD

Comment:
This man is a horrible professor. He only reads examples from a set of previously written notes instead of working them out live, but thats not even the worst part. Because of the way he has to present notes it can be very hard to understand his work and if you ask a question he acts like you are stupid and then doesnt even answer your question.

Such a hard class and very hard to follow. I love math and this destroyed me. I went to other professors lectures to learn the information and still struggled an insane amount.

Nice enough guy unless you're late or not paying attention in class, not a great professor for MA214. You will teach yourself the concepts if you want to pass. Frankly, the class got much easier when it went online for COVID-19 because he wasn't giving the lectures- it was a mix of MIT lectures and Jonathon Walters videos from youtube.

Get ready to hear about how math is just "basic algebra" He chased a student out of class when I had him, but he's utterly useless in lecture anyways, so I can't blame the kid for leaving,

If you can, take MA 213 with Dr. Perry. Calc 3 with Dr. Harris was confusing and I feel like he overcomplicated the course material. After performing poorly on the first two exams, I stopped listening in class and taught myself and my grades improved.

Comment:
His lectures make no sense, he isn't willing to answer questions and he never does problems. He just shows old notes that are cluttered and unclear. Furthermore, he gave us an assignment for "extra credit" and the never put it in, costing me a borderline grade. I emailed him and he never responded. He didn't reply to the TA either.

Do not take. His lectures don't make any sense. He only goes through basic algebra, doesn't explain how he got his answers on the new content. If you have to take him, make sure to go to another professors lecture to understand what is happening in the class and actually pass.

Barely teaches, isnt responsive to student feedback, has a monotone droning voice, cant stay on schedule with course material, spends at least 10 minutes ever class asking the class trivial math problems like what is 2 plus 5 and refuses to move on until somebody answers and then rants about how easy math is

If theres 10 feet of snow on the ground, then 12 and that means we don't have class. Lives life on the edge, Full of life, grandfather figure, tech savvy. Common Phrases: "Goooood Morning" "This is just high school algebra" "Are you confused" "I-clicker Cloud"

This professor does not care about you as a student, so if you can avoid him, do it! His exams are very difficult, his lectures are boring and hard to follow. He's unwilling to answer questions whether in class or outside of class.

Overall he is not a good teacher. He puts his notes online but they are not clear so I advise you read Perry's notes. He tries to make jokes, not that funny. Honestly I do not recommend you take his class. Trust me and its 8am .

Comment:
During lectures, he provides notes but his notes are not clear and it is easy to get lost in the class. He tries to give examples but his examples are also not clear and he likes to go off topic. I do not recommend his class as you will still need to go and read another teacher's (Perry) notes to pass. Let's just say I struggled a lot to pass.
