Reviews of professor Michael Harding

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I had the chance of having Prof. Harding at Johns Hopkins in the MLA program. Amazing professor that can make philosophy interesting instead of boring. Makes one question on human conditions. This man is certainly going to have a stellar academic career. He is very knowledgeable about his field and an excellent communicator and professor!

Professor knows the material like the back of his hand. If you try to bs your assignments he will see right through. Good teacher but it's a lot of reading, weekly hw's, and lectures. It's a class where you will work and he ensures you know by putting it in the syllabus as well.

Pros: Expectations clearly defined, he provides the book, work at your pace. Cons: If you do not complete the final project you fail the whole class. If you have other commitments this is not the class for you. This professor wants you to appreciate Government as he does. I just needed the credit.

I took this class thinking itd be an easy A to fulfill my A&H but it wasnt. Your grade consists of discussion posts, 3 exams & annotated bibliography. Discussion posts every week are easy but the exams are lecture heavy (very long and boring) and about the books (which he expects you to buy). Hes also terrible at responding and gives no feedback

At first, he was a decent professor and the discussions were tiring but doable. Extra credit is worth almost nothing and the POTUS memo project will drop your grade no matter what you get on other assignments. Not only was it explained terribly, but the rubric and project requirements are super vague and make no sense. Good luck though!

Took his online 4 week class. He provides the book at no charge. His tests are on quizlet, but you have weekly DBs that require quite a bit of time and effort unless you naturally follow politics and have a basic understanding of the US government. He does not proctor. He grades generously and quickly. Solid choice for sure.

Awesome class! I took the 4 week class, 4 quizzes, 1 midterm and 1 final and discussion boards weekly and a final potus project. Easy class if you just do the work as instructed.

Professor Harding provides feedback after each discussion board assignment. He is on top of his students, a good thing. His online class was organized, due dates are extremely fair being there is lots of reading involved. Textbook is online, which happens to be great, no ads or sudden pop ups. There is the normal test/quiz. Great Professor!
