Reviews of professor Marlen Harrison

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Overall good class, but not for everyone. Be prepared for a lot of work and sometimes tedious assignments. discussions, creating documents, group work, and an extensive project where you create your own company. I learned a lot from this class, but sometimes the work load can be overwhelming. Prof is very understanding and easy to reach

Marlen is a not a good teacher. He used extreme profanity in class and often made sexual references and even drug references at times, and had no intention of helping his students improve as writers. I asked him one time, "Marlen, what can I do to improve my writing?" and he said "nothing, I think you're a great writer" As if I were Shakespeare.

Great research experience! It is easy to reach professor outside of the class in his office or by phone. His goal is to help everyone to because a better writer.

(For Half Semester) While Marlen clearly cares about his students and work quality, he gives FAR TOO MUCH work to make this class worth taking with him. Let me put it into numbers to better understand: In 7 weeks, he gave 63 assignments, 3 assignments minimum every M/W/F. If you have any obligations outside of school, DO NOT take this class.

Take him!!! Marlen is different from any other professor that I've ever had. He truly cares about and gets to know all his students to make sure that they are doing the best they can. One long research paper and a blog but it is split up in small parts due throughout the course. Very understanding and a great person.

He is an easy grader but has to work on the way he plans the class. gives a lot of time on easy assignments and leaves no time at the end for the hardest part which is the final draft of the research paper. If you like writing take him, he is nice, I just think the research paper made no sense because most of them were personal topics

I would take his classes for the rest of my College career. His class is very hands on, but the work is manageable if you time well. Very reasonable and if you miss an assignment, every week he has bonus opportunities that help you make up for missed work & missed chances. I have learned the more in this class than all my others. We stan Marlen!

If you work full time, don't take this class. He gives a lot of work, and he repeatedly states, he DOES NOT accept late work. Don't even think about using work, other classes or vacation as an excuse. This guy is professionally involved in a multitude of fields, so I can't blame him for being strict about work ethic and deadlines.
