Reviews of professor Allison Harness

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Mrs. Harness is a lovely woman that cares about biology. She teaches well, and her exam and quizzes are good questions. She picks specific questions for her quizzes and exams, so please make sure you make a tremendous 3x5-inch card cheat sheet. Make sure you pay attention to quiz and exam dates, as she doesn't announce them in Canvas

Labs are decent, but lectures are very hard to pay attention to as she talks so much about information that is very irrelevant. You could sleep through her lectures and still know what to do the day after in her class pretty much. She gets angry when you ask too many questions though. Overall, so much work for a one-unit class would not take again.

Professor Harness is a very lovely woman. She has lecture slides with tons of info and pictures on them, and is very quick with her lectures. She is very syllabus-oriented and the syllabus never lies! She has a very strict class schedule, and attendance is mandatory. All of the lecture slides, study guides, and extra credit is posted on her Canvas.

I only say I wouldn't take her class again because I don't like Biology. However, if you do, Professor Harness is absolutely amazing at providing a full scope of each topic. She is very organized, is great at communication, and manages to get you engaged with the course really well despite being online.

The lectures were straightforward and easy to understand. If you read the textbook to review the materials before class and do the study guides, you will do well in this class. Very nice teacher who is easy to talk to, I would definitely take her again if given the opportunity!

Labs are either simulations or you have to watch videos and demos. Especially difficult when using a simulation as she does not explain nor demonstrate how you should use them. Lectures are difficult to pay attention to as she rambles about unnecessary information. Quizzes are overall easy, just study the lab manual and you'll be fine.
