Reviews of professor Colin Harris

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is very good at explaining concepts in a simple and concise way. He expects you to be able to connect different concepts and such but he makes sure that you are able to get to that level. He also makes microeconomics very fun and entertaining and his material is supposed to help you understand concepts very well

I had Prof. Harris for Public Affairs Conversation. I enjoyed his style of teaching but I understand why others would not. He took quite a while to provide feedback on assignments but when he did it was helpful and thorough. He's also generally knowledgeable and fun to learn from and interact with.

Pretty good prof. Lectures and class structure are fairly repetitive so it gets a little boring. Overall, he has clear guidelines and expectations for the class. Sometimes gets a little dry but gives good examples.

All you need to be prepared for is how he is going to ask his questions. Just read the lectures before tests and attend his help session. Just an awful class though. He really takes foreeevvverrrrrr to grade anything.

Harris is a good guy and cares about his students. But lectures get really dry. Tests are ridiculously long and there is an insane amount of material covered on them. He's SUCH a tough grader yet doesn't give good feedback. Also, he's really inflexible and has unrealistic expectations which is kind of a bummer.

Collin for sure knows his stuff, but he doesn't relay that info to his students effectively. His lectures are unorganized and he talks fast. After some apologies and empty promises, we did not receive our second exam back before the final. Made figuring out how much to study difficult and left me unsure of 60% of my grade going into the final.

Prof Harris was one of my favorite professors from this past school year. 90% of the course grade was determined by 3 exams, so the class could be stressful at times. However, his exams were fair and comprehensive and there was very little homework. He is willing to help outside of class if you have any questions or want him to review a concept.

I love Harris. I took three of his classes. His lectures are amazing. Before every test, he goes through some practice questions which is really helpful.

He's a good prof: I like how he teaches economics from a social science perspective. I wouldn't recommend taking this class on T/Th, the lectures get really long and boring. He will take forever to grade your work, and will grade it hard, but the class itself doesn't require much work and I learned quite a bit.

Prof. Harris is interesting, but the class (by nature) is very lecture heavy. He's very understanding about missing classes as long as you e-mail him before hand. Gives good feedback on tests and problem sets. Very cool guy for a boring class.
