Reviews of professor Mike Harris

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Although I was initially hesitant to take Mike's class seeing that he was quite a new professor, I'm honestly so glad that I did! Mike's lectures are very thorough and cover exam material evenly. The exams are fair and he provides many opportunities for EC. He's also very easy to talk to and does his best to answer all questions. Take Mike!

Really good at explaining concepts in this class. His tests were reflective of what he taught in lecture. As long as you pay attention to his lecture you're in good shape for the exams. Very caring and helpful teacher.

He is a really great professor, really knows what he is talking about. The tests are based on the lecture content, go to class, watch the lectures and take notes, it is easy. The exams were open notes, and as long as you paid attention. Don't really need the textbook, but can give background info.

Mike made me love molecular biology so much. The class itself is tough, but he made it so much better. He hosted reviews sessions before exams/final and answered questions clearly. I go to Cal now and I still haven't met a bio professor as great as Mike.

Best professor you could ever take for this class. I was stress free all semester cause of how nice Mike is. Great teacher and extremely fair. Lots of extra credit! Study off of the powerpoints and do the study guide, you will get an A no problem.

Very good lectures, super clear, grades nicely, and answers all questions clearly, lab quizzes every week but you just need to study for it. Take this professor, amazing!

Professor Harris is very accommodating and helpful. His lecture content is heavy, and exams are reflective of his lecture material. The workload given is also manageable. Make sure you take good lecture notes and show up to class!

Mikey is probably the best science professor DVC has to offer. Class is mainly graded based on 4 exams, a final, and the research project. He is lecture heavy, and most of the material he goes over will be on exams. As far as preparation goes, "if you know every lecture slide, you are guaranteed a 95%". Be aware, lab quizzes weekly (just study!)

Had this class during covid (online). Posts ppts , recorded lectures, study guides. Homework consists of online labs from LABSTER and some worksheets. Tests are detailed but using the study guides will make you do well. Tests are taking through PROCTORIO but only audio was recorded. Sometimes lecture can be a bit much. Very nice and friendly.
