Reviews of professor Rachel Harris

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof Harris was really great. The course is very reading-based and there's 3 short papers and a final essay. That's all determined by the department, though, and she made the lectures informative and explained it all well. She offers awesome feedback and is always quick to reach. I really enjoyed her as an instructor and definitely recommended her.

I liked Rachel, and thought this was a solid class. HW on connect was a bit tedious at times, but not too difficult. Quizzes/other assignments were pretty fair, if you took some time to prepare it was not difficult but if you didn't then it could be hard. Lastly, she did a great job of communicating with us and adjusting after the move online.

Professor Harris is definitely nice and understanding of conflicts, so I really wanted to love her. However, there were a LOT of technical difficulties throughout the semester. In addition, she mostly grades papers by their length, not as much the material. She's nice and maybe this was just an off semester for her, but be cautious!

Professor Harris is really sweet, I liked her a lot! The class felt laid-back and comfortable and it was easy to slip into a conversation with her in Spanish (even for the oral exam). Quizzes are fairly simple and grading is clear-cut. Homework can pile on fast though, so always be a couple of days ahead of the due dates just in case.

If you're interested in Latino studies / the Latino movement / Latino literature, take this class. Otherwise, you'll be spending a lot of time reading and doing research/work in a subject that you don't care that much about. I found this class interesting, but it was quite a lot of work and some of the topics weren't really my thing.

SPAN 1110 all has the same rubric and assignments university-wide, so it's the professor that makes the difference. Professor Harris keeps it straight to the point, gives you the info you need, and is very good at answering questions and will help you with whatever you need. She will find a way to help you do well if you just ask! Super sweet.
