Reviews of professor David Harris

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Doc Harris conducts physics education research. Most physics professors conduct physics research and view teaching entry-level physics as a boring chore. Teaching is his passion, and he strives to be a master of his craft. His classes are interactive discussions, not one-way lectures. Excellent professor!

His class is not hard, it also is not easy. The class average at the end of the semester was a high B. He does not assign homework at all, he teaches you in a conceptual way. He wants to make sure you actually succeed. He doesn't care about the math portion, he only cares that you understand the material and the physics portion. Great Professor.

Doc Harris' intro to space science class was incredibly easy but enjoyable. Harris is a super relaxed and cool professor and makes classes really interesting. There aren't a lot of assignments other than tests, which are pretty easy. All around a great class and great professor who you can always talk to if you have a problem.

Professor Harris is a great teacher who goes above and beyond the expected. He will stay after class to help students understand the material. He has a review night before each exam and all his exams are open book/notes.

If you are looking to take an elective at FIT or need this credit for your degree, Doc Harris is the prof to take. His knowledge on the subject is fascinating and there is so much to learn from this course. Had no assigned HW, the class was based on 4 tests with the lowest dropped that are 70% of the grade, and the final is 30%.

Doc Harris was my physics 1 professor and he was amazing. I thought Id never find a prof like my high school physics teacher who inspired me to study astrophysics, but Doc Harris is by far one of the best. Great at teaching and actually cares about his students grades and learning compared to other professors. 11/10

Doc Harris is one of my favorite professors here. He will answer any and all of your questions, and he always makes sure to explain things in a way everyone can understand. He does give a lot of tests, but as long as you go to class most of the time, they'll be fairly easy.

Doc Harris is one of the BEST professors at Florida Tech. His class became very easy during coronavirus but even when we weren't online he would make everything we learned as easy as possible. This class was never boring and he made sure to be engaging. I wish he taught Physics 2.

This is by far the best teacher I have had at this school. He understands the material and excels at explaining it to his students. He doesn't teach anything you won't use. He writes and takes all his tests to ensure they are understandable for his students. He knows most students in his class aren't physics majors and teaches them accordingly.
