Harvath is one of the best econ professors I've ever had! His lectures are easy to understand, clear, and funny! I highly recommend that you take his class if you have the chance too! Just make sure you are doing your readings and taking good notes, if you put in that effort you are guaranteed an A!

Really loved this class. Great lectures online, and you'll feel that you learn a lot by the end of it. The professor is nice and always available during his routine office hours on zoom. Lots of quizzes and tests, but doesn't feel too difficult as it's all basically info from the video lectures. Very well put together class.

Took Econ B1 in his class. Great teacher, breaks things down so they are easy to understand. Gives multiple examples, and simple diagrams. The textbook used for this class was FREE and available online, which was nice. Responds very quickly to emails. Sends out lots of communication. Has great video lectures. Definitely taking again for Econb2.

I took him Fall 2020 online. He is by far the best professor! His class was super easy. It was mainly just watching the lecture videos, taking notes, then taking a quiz. Only way to even fail his class is if you seriously dont do any work. Highly recommend this professor!!

Comment:
If you're not attending class and taking this class during co-vid online I recommend you don't take this class. His videos are so boring you WILL lose attention and start falling asleep. In the last 2 modules he even makes you re-watch them he claims his videos wont be more than 16 minutes but they're up to 19 minutes long.

I really enjoyed his lectures, he gets straight to the point and seems to care a lot about his students. The modules and homework are both very easy. He also will let you turn in late assignments. He's an awesome instructor and I really enjoyed being his student.

Dr. Harvath is an incredible human and top notch professor. If you have a chance to learn from him, do it! Be prepared to take copious notes (I think he actually says that on lecture 1) and apply your notes to your homework. Yeah, I only earned a B, but I earned it and know where I went wrong. You can earn an A, if you stay ORGANIZED!

Good professor. His lectures are enjoyable to sit through, he makes them interesting. Homework are only extra credit so it only helps your grade. Theres a quiz every week but as long as you do the reading and pay attention to the lectures you'll be fine. He goes over last semester's unit exams which is identical to the actual Exam. An A is an 87.5%

Professor Harvath is by far one of my favorite professors at Bakersfield College. Even though he teaches a boring subject he makes the class fun and entertaining. He also offers extra credit opportunities through out the semester.

Great at teaching. Class based on lectures and slides from the textbook. 9 Quizzes (Easy), Worst 2 get dropped. 3 tests. Final is basically the third unit test. Goes over the previous semester's test the class before the upcoming unit test. Previous test is very similar to the upcoming one. Homework gives a small extra credit, but adds up. 87%A

Dr. Harvath was great! This subject is not very easy, but he is an intelligent man and does a great job explaining it. Quizzes every other week or so, he drops your 2 lowest grades. Homework is extra credit. 3 unit tests. He goes over last semesters unit test as review and makes your test almost identical. Attendance not mandatory but it helps

Really great guy, very memorable voice. Makes an otherwise really boring class kinda fun. Really, all there is to do in the class is follow along to the powerpoint and take notes. Draw the graphs until you can do it blindfolded (which is super easy anyway) and its an easy A. Any bad reviews was probably from people who didnt pay attention in class!

Harvath is an awesome professor and makes what could be a boring subject into something really interesting. He's a hilarious guy and has the class laid out very clearly - plus, he follows the schedule faithfully. Ask questions during the lectures if you don't understand, do the homework, and study the sample exams to succeed.

He maintains good cheer throughout the semester in a normally boring subject. There's a quiz/homework every week, but what matters is the 3 big tests. Easy to pass his class just keep up with his reading assignments.

He teaches a kind of boring subject but still has a good sense of humor. There are weekly quizzes based on lecture. Homework also but thats not worth a lot of points. He also goes over last semester tests which helps prepare you for exams. Just put in the time to study and understand the material, its not a difficult class.

His lectures were so hard to understand. He did not spend too much time on any subject, and the whole class is literally lectures with powerpoints. The tests are hard even if you do the study guide last semester test. The homework is extra credit but not enough to help you raise your grade.

Provides a PowerPoint for each of his lectures. There is a book available, but not needed, there is free online text available. Gives out the previous semester's test to demonstrate the test format. All homework is extra credit, helps understand concepts. All quiz and homework are corrected before the unit tests. No cumulative testing.
