DO not take this class,does not care to help much. Selfish professor,not helpful at all.Avoid at all costs, trust me!

Is a great teacher, tests are pretty easy and so is hw. Go to class ask questions get A

He's gotten a lot harder this year (2007) than 2006 when I had him for 3A. Be weary of his multiple choice on the exams - lots of obscure questions and stuff he mentioned in passing and full of TRICK QUESTIONS.

Harmon is a joke. The only students who praise him are acctg nerds and suck-ups. Doesn't teach the material but actually expects you to know the stuff because you're suppose to be "responsible students." Always misleads you on the test materials and basically leaves you to your own devices. Test questions are always worded funky. AVOID AVOID AVOID

This class is dreadful. The homework is tedious and theres one due every class. The course material is probably the dullest and driest i've encountered in accounting. However, you still may want to take it cause its supposed to be important for cpa exam. Harmon didnt teach it particularly well this quarter however.

He doesn't teach. He cares more about doing work for the publisher than about teacher the students who pay for the class. Give long winded HW assignments that are due every class. DO NOT TAKE HARMON FOR ANY UPPER DIVISION COURSE

HW takes forever if you don't know Excel. HW questions riddled with mistakes, some basic theory and definitional multiple choice questions very difficult and wastes your time. Lectures are useless. Study hard on your own with the book

This guy has to be the worse accounting teacher in the department right now. The guy does not teach the material well at all and gives you a lot of busy work thats not worth your time. With that said, this class is very important for the cpa exam so you might want to take this class anyways.

He's so self oriented, setting unreasonable rules.....fake you in the preview of exams.......

While you never have to goto class or discussion other than on days of midterms or final, you should. Coby explains the material very well because he knows it and knows how to teach it. The TA's are undergrads so they barely know anything. The book is useful, but you can do without it if you show up to every class and pay attention.

don't take this class with him, take with the other professor.

Have had him for the past two quarters. Even though there are rumors that he's been pressured by the department to make his classes more difficult, he is still very fair. Although his tests are much harder than the quarters before, he is generous enough to offer multiple extra credit assignment. He is absolutely adorable and funny.Love him.Take him

Cool professor and even cooler guy, but his tests are very unclear and erratic because he writes them the night before. If he didn't try to trick you so much on exams the class would be much better.

I mean he was okay in 3A, but he started to be irresponsible for all the upper-division classes. Seriously, he always showed up late and then kind of went over the materials. Why have I taken so many classes with him, because he was always the only lecturer for the classes that I wanted to take. Just read the book and you will be fine.

He's trying to remove his reputation as an easy teacher. The tests were really random...I dropped his class and took Sander instead. I'd recommend Sander over him. When he makes jokes in class, it doesn't make the class any more understandable.

Harmon doesn't give the easiest tests, but he is by far one of the best professors I have had at UCSB. He is totally chill and provides great lectures. His lectures are clear and he's always willing and available to help with any questions you have. As long as you have a grasp on everything covered in lecture, you'll be fine.

There's more to a good teacher than being able to tell jokes. Test questions were made to throw you off and trick you. Homework assignments given before he actually explains the topic assigned. If you don't understand the homework, tough. "Figure it out." Unfair grading policies, generalized lectures where the homework and tests are deceiving.AVOID

harmon is the man. his class is not bad if you do the reading and pay attention. do the homeworks and you'll be fine. and harmon is just awesome...hes funny and goofy and overall a great guy!take the honors section if you can

I love him. Great guy and great prof. Very funny in his own strange way. Makes the topic undertandable. Definatly take him if you have the chance. Make sure you do the homework and the tests aren't to bad.

He's such a nice guy, and sooooo much easier than sander. Damn, I wish I could have him for 3b, but I DONT!!! His voice puts you to sleep sometimes, but over all, he knows his stuff well and the final was easy.

well, I have to say, even though he tries to be funny sometimes, I still fall asleep in his class. His class is much easier than Crouch's classes. Very nice guy indeed!! Love him so much! I wish I can have him for econ 3b.

He was very clear in lecture and the homework prepares you for tests. Just do the homework and you will do well. It's to your benefit to look at the practice tests online too. Easy A because I worked a couple practice problems in each chapter.

I heard he was easy and then he changed his tests and easiness. He is NOT as easy as he used to be. Don't take this class if you think you'll breeze by

these were easy classes, but he's not that great as an instructor.
