I enjoyed Coby, I liked his lectures and didn't mind going to class. It definitely takes some effort in the class, but the curve is strong so you'd be fine most likely. I guessed on the final and still passed so that was nice.
First half of class on consolidation went well, but afterwards the different topics seemed kind of disorganized. Attending lecture is important, textbook is kind of dense and a pain to sift through for his main points. Not a hard class, but just hard to stay on top of things and know what to learn/study for the second half of the class
Coby is so sweet and I can tell he cares about his students, however I found it hard to pay attention in class as he tunneled into topics/went on tangents. 3 tests, non-cumulative, heavily based on Wiley practice questions.
This is my first class with Professor Harmon, and it has been a wonderful ride. Although Professor Harmon teaches off slides, he gets into details and explains materials well enough that I don't necessarily have to read to figure out what I'm doing. Homework is a tough endeavor, and there are seven (or eight) of them, so get ready to do the work.
Harmon is not a bad professor by any means but definitely does not cover enough information to properly prepare for the midterms. Very fair with curves and nice to talk to. You will just have to self-teach to some degree.
Overall, I thought Professor Harmon was a pretty good teacher. His lectures weren't the most in-depth, but they covered parts of what you needed to know for the weekly quizzes. The other part was by reading the textbook. I enjoyed his odd humor and noises. His quizzes were tricky, but once you figure out how he tests the class becomes much easier.
Coby is a very great person. However, I cant say this about his teaching. Doesnt teach much and if he does, 80% of his lectures dont reflect the test material. In response to someone confronting him about his lack of teaching, he said hes not here to hold our hand. So we are basically spending a lot of money to read a book and get a grade.
Only graded by our tests, and homework. There are tests after each chapter which was nice, but he makes them insanely hard with a tight time constraint for no reason. The homework is super long, but you do get a week to do them, however it's only worth 10% of your grade despite how much you have to do.
brb crying because I just had my last lecture of my last class offered by Harmon. I will sincerely miss his uplifting "rrrraaarr"s and "woo woo"s mid-lecture. He is the best at explaining difficult concepts very logically. Focus your efforts on what he covers in Lec, supplement w/ the textbook & you'll do great.
I took it during the summer and Harmon was so funny and accessible. He gives a lot about real world examples. His tests were pretty easy and all mc, but because the class is curved, it is about the least mistakes you make. I learned a lot as my first accounting class.
average when it comes to actually teaching the material but the curve is generous and he is open to changing grading materials in favor of the students, such as making some hws extra credit, some test questions as extra credit, etc.
He is the best professor in the world. I took every class that he taught and received A in every class.
"Woo woo! Nay-Nay! *frog sound. *cat purr-ish sound." The professor is really funny and the material is pretty straight forward. Just read the textbook if you REALLY want to understand what he talks about in class. A little bit of every aspect of studying will go a long way.
Mr. Harmon is one of the funniest and quirkiest professors in the economics department. He deeply understands the subject and clearly answers any questions. The material is a bit dry but not too difficult. His humor definitely made the class more interesting. Do well on exams because high class averages may cause the curve to lower your raw grade!
This class was incredibly hard. I spent an average of about 10 hours a week on this class doing homework and taking handwritten notes. This class is no joke . . . Midterm 2 and the final were incredibly difficult and probably each had 25 tricky questions out of the 50, and our class average was WAYYY too high for the difficulty level...
This professor has really hard exam and he always be rude to students. You can't get good grade once you made one mistake in exam.
Harmon is a really good guy but his tests are awful. Multiple choice always and not the stereotypical "easy" multiple choice. Killed my GPA. Liked him a lot but not his testing style.
I honestly really love professor Harmon!! he is very inspirational, I love to go to his lectures. He can sometimes give out extra credit (those extra credits are like curveball) when he feels like not so many students are attending the lecture. And you should do well on midterms because the final was SUPER hard!!!
Favorite accounting prof so far! He's super quirky and a great teacher. Also, he's always available to help in his office hours outside lecture.
Kept me awake and engaged with his humor. Very knowledgeable in the material and always makes things crystal clear. As others have said, do all the textbook practice problems to be prepared for those curveballs he might throw at you in the midterm/final. That will definitely make or break your grade.
Harmon is a great lecturer. He explains the accounting concepts very clearly and is able to make them relatable, so as to make the lectures much less dry than they could be. He bases his tests solely off of the reading and homework, so if read the book and use the study tools it provides, you will not be surprised by anything on his tests.
Great personality, open door policy and very cooperative when you have problems with anything. Sometimes makes an appearance as the most interesting person in the room and lives up to that impression 90% of the time. 1st Prof I meet whose Workload is considerable, yet never appears pointless or like he makes you work for the sake of working. #lad
Read the book and do all of the practice problems in the back of each chapter. HIGHLY recommend that.
I've had a good experience with Professor Harmon being my 3B instructor. He's a funny guy and an easy-going person. Both midterms& the final were fair. In order to get a good grade in this class, read the book thoroughly and do EVERY problem in the back of the chapters. That way, you'll be ready for the curveballs he may throw at you. Good luck.
