Reviews of professor Robin Harris

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Harris is, by far, the best science professor I've ever had. I had extenuating situations come up during the semester, and he was so understanding, flexible, and patient with me. I finished the course with an A+, and I owe it all to him. He is an amazing teacher, awesome accent, and overall great person. Take him - you'll thank yourself.

Exams are super difficult, although one is dropped. His lectures are very informative and useful, good explanations. Recitation is helpful. I feel like if I had more time to spend studying I would have done better on the first exam. The TAs are super helpful too. I would say he's a good professor but you will need to put real effort in this class.

He has way better lectures than Varsani and his slides are actually engaging. The only thing I do not like is not providing a study guide. It makes it hard to study for exams because you are trying to fit 6 lectures worth of content at once without knowing what is needed or not. I recommend if you want to teach yourself.

Downside is exams are weighted 65% of the grade, so if you are bad at taking exams, I would not recommend. However, the professor himself is excellent and provides lots of resources to succeed and gives constant encouragement. Lectures are very well organized and encourages learning, discussion, and not memorization. Would absolutely take again.

This class is very difficult and Dr. Harris obviously does not put up with any sort of BS. He is there to help, which is more than most of ASU's biology department, so there's that. Exams were very difficult with one dropped at the end, just go to class don't be a nuisance and you'll be fine

He is a good professor and you can tell he wants the students to succeed. I think the material being difficult made people not like him very much. There was also an issue with his mic during lecture which made his Zoom lectures choppy but this was not his fault. One assignment varies between 20 to 40 questions but most of the answers are online.

Harris part of Genetics was very thorough and made me think about all the concepts and how they feed off one another. His part was nothing of memorization as he says. You definitely have to read al lot and the textbook is very crucial to understand his lectures. Youtube helped me a lot on some concepts I couldn't comprehend. Hes a great professor!
