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.

"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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This **** completely has changed the way he gives test. No one was completely ready for this stupid test. He says he'll give you one thing and does the other.

This guy does his best to make accounting somewhat interesting. I still slept through most of the lectures because he has a very hypnotic voice. He's a very cool guy though and has some good stories from his time in the workforce.

I heart Coby. The midterm and final weren't too bad though you really need to study for those. There's a lot of material covered but it wasn't too bad if you did the reading. Sections aren't too helpful though.

Well I'm definately in love with this man. Coby Harmon is the most awesome teacher you will ever find in the world. He's totally laid back, funny and approachable but at the same time is completely knowledgable on the subject. His class is not easy but if you do the work you can get a good grade. Take this class just to experience Coby Harmon!

Easiest class this quarter for sure. Studied before the Midterms and Final and pulled an A. Only went to the first section, then realized I didn't need it. Definitely hold out to take Harmon for Accounting if you can.

His classes are getting harder for sure. Previous exams were much easier. Class is not as easy as indicated. He knows what he's talking about, and is helpful with questions.

His classes are getting harder, but he is an amazing teacher. Lectures sometimes get a little boring, but thats just the class. What I love about him is his approachfullness. He really wants to help his students succeed. Hes a funny guy too, fun teacher!
