Reviews of professor Brent Harrison

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Best professor I have ever had. He took care and attention with all of the material and you can really tell that he cares about what he is teaching. The class is not the easiest but pay attention and you will learn alot.

I personally loved Harrison, he is one of the few CS professors I've had who I genuinely felt cared about ensuring student success. I failed this exact same class last semester but with Harrison I easily got an A and felt way more confident about the material. So sad that he isn't the prof for all my classes. MUST TAKE FOR 315!!!

Great professor. Some of the days were very math heavy but you don't need to know that for exams. The projects helped me learn but they vary widely in difficulty so beware.

There were some times when I was confused about a topic from a few lectures ago and he eagerly backtracked and worked examples for me. Very few assignments, so my grade tanked a bit when I missed points on HW, but he gives a lot of extra credit at the end of the semester so it didn't even matter. Chill guy and relatable. Partial credit on projects.

One of the best profs UK computer science has to offer. Gives useful lectures and answers any/all questions. Above all he is a good person and treats everyone with the same level of respect. The class is hard and you have to manage your time to complete the projects which are worth the majority of your grade.

Dr. Harrison is great at explaining complex concepts simply. The class consisted of 6 grades (including exams), so if you did poorly on one assignment, it could be hard to salvage an A. However, if you attend lectures and take notes, you'll be more than prepared for the exams.

Professor Harrison is one the best professors in UK, he loves comp sci, and likes what he teaches. Not a tough grader, and most of the projects are really free and up to you. No attendance, and really modern teaching!

Dr. Harrison is easily the best professor I've had at UK. He is an amazing lecturer and genuinely cares about his students. He is always available to answer any questions and is extremely easy to talk to. The subject is difficult, but he makes learning it simple due to his clear explanations. I would recommend taking any course he offers.

Brent Harrison is a national treasure and should be tenured and protected. shoutout to carl the beloved corgi, and interesting assignments that are fun. Was extra reasonable in every way and routinely worked with students on deadlines with kindness and caring for their wellbeing. Helped me for 2 hours in office hours for another class. etc. amazing
