Reviews of professor Blain Harrison

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
His online lecture is basic an audiobook and his slides are just some screenshots of figures from the textbook. The whole course is unorganized.

My favorite teacher for all APK classes! Dr. Harrison genuinely cares for and respects his students, and wants them to succeed. He is understanding and helpful should you ever have questions or assignment issues. His courses are interesting and by using Tophat, he ensures everything for the course is in the same place and easily accessible.

Lectures are VERY long but are clear. He is very easy to contact outside of class and answers pretty fast. Class was straightforward, he does not try to trick you. Content was shared in a way that was easy to understand.

If you're looking for an easy A elective, don't take this class. Quizzes are proctored and weekly. Lots of busy work assignments and the class is completely self taught. "Lectures" are recordings of him reading the textbook. Quizzes and exams aren't easy. Way too challenging for a professor who doesn't even lecture.

Dr. Harrison is by far the greatest professor I have ever had. His exams are straightforward and not difficult at all if you stay on top of the lectures. He responds to emails very quickly, is very helpful and caring!

He is a great professor that really knows his subject matter. His exams are fair. You will do well if you study the lecture slides. The textbook is not mandatory but supplementing your studying with the book will certainly help you do better. Good slides. Good lecturer. The occasional homework he assigns really helps you understand the material.

Dr. Harrison does an incredible job. There's a lot of different assignments that are easy so that it isn't very test heavy, he gives plenty of opportunity to do well in this class. I would definitely go out of my way to take a class with him instead of someone else.

Dr. Harrison is my favorite professor at the whole university. He is almost always available for students outside of class, responds to emails in a timely fashion, and explains concepts well. It's hard to find professors that truly care, but he is one. He is passionate about what he teaches, and I can't wait to have him for more classes.

Harrison's online lectures were very monotonous, and I wanted to fall asleep watching lectures. He did not explain material in a way that allowed me to understand the topic. There is a midterm and a cumulative final, I wouldn't suggest taking it during summer unless you have too. Tricky concepts, and test questions. Overall, he is a fair professor.
