Reviews of professor Dana Harker

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I read reviews about Ms. Harker before taking the class and I was surprised to find that my experience was a far cry from what I read. She uses contract grading which can be confusing. She was also pretty rude whenever I had questions for her about assignments/due dates. She even says on the syllabus that she messes up the due dates on canvas

Honestly, I really liked Dana as a person, but the class was really bad. Her grading system is so weird-- she grades based on pass or fail and if you miss more than one assignment your grade is in the trash. However, she gives decent feedback and allows you to redo 1 assignment for the whole quarter. Overall, I wouldn't recommend taking her class.

I am in her class right now and she is so cool, if you don't like her then that sucks. shes funny, cool and I hope I have her again! Lots of writing and papers but I love English so frankly I don't care at all.

Very rude sometimes. Uncomfortable when she harassed a foreign student for not being in class as long after he registered late. she had been rude to him since day one. Brutal for people with disabilities and just throws sensitive topics in with no alternatives. Way too open showing displeasure with people who are paying money to be taught.

Horrible teacher overall. The class sounds fun before you take it learning about mass incarceration and you think it would be a couple essays about that. NO, she puts you in a group project to make a podcast. How do you make a podcast online it is so confusing.

Dana cares about students. She doesn't care if your writing's quality is bad as long as you have tried and you do the assignments. For grading, there is only complete/incomplete for each assignment. She assigns more assignments than you are required to do. If you want to get an A, you will need to get a complete on all assignments no quizzes/exams.

Hate hate hate her grading scale its already made up and if you miss an assignment she is not sympathetic. She doesnt get that she is working at a community college and the students are not the best in school. She is nice when your doing good but she assigned a lot of work so it is very easy to get behind.
