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
I have had Coby in the past and he was much more motivated back then. For 136C, he relies on his slides to teach the class, his blah attitude makes the class frustrating, and he overall just doesn't seem interested in what's going on. Shows up, opens his computer, and continues reading us the slides that we have in front of us already.
The past few reviewers have been so right. Harmon was good in 3A, but his fall 136C course is frustrating. he straightup does not teach; we could all read the slides at home in lieu of lecture. he has wasted soo much time getting started, and his last midterm had a really low average. I MISS LISA MAAS, even sander. (we'd actually be learning)
Definitely overated. Doesn't really teach, just reads his slides, gives simple examples, then assigns homework problems that he doesn't ever go over in class. Other acctg teachers are far superior in terms of teaching ability and knowledge/real job experience
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 is overrated. reading off of your powerpoint slides is NOT teaching and it doesn't help to assign homework when he hasn't fully gone over the subject yet. sucks that he teaches more classes than prof. maass, now that is a REAL teacher. don't let his laid-back persona fool you, his tests are tricky and unpredictable.
Harmon's lectures are a little iffy, a little all over the place, and the tests are difficult and sometimes a little tricky. Homeworks aren't too bad. Pay attention to the lectures especially and in-class/printed out problems.
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.
he was difficult in 136C. Very clear lectures though.
Easier than Sander but probably less interesting in terms of lectures. Grading seemed really nitpicky, especially for essay questions and the account titles. Actual problems are not that hard, just long and tedious. Homework always seemed to ask things before we did them in class, and some proceedures to solve his problems are not in the book
Harmon is not a great teacher, nor a bad one. With regards to auditing, he taught off of outdated slides. To his credit, he often conducted group exercises to keep everyone from passing out.

Harder than 3A. Not because Harmon is more difficult, but because there is much more material. Still, I didn't think the class was too hard. Harmon is an excellent teacher as always show really shows that he knows his stuff. Just be ready to put in more effort to maintain a good grade.
Coby is a great teacher. Still his class is not that easy. Everyone says it's a piece of cake. I don't think so. I got an A- but I studied my ass off!! So be pepared to study a lot if you wanna get a good grade! Nice person though, but hard material!
I was looking forward to this class because I had him for 3A. But beware, this class is harder than 3A, but worth it. He's a great professor and if you study your notes and slides, you'll be fine. He's easy to get along with too.
Straight forward with what he expects. Well organized.
One of the best accounting teacher in UCSB. He is funny and explains really well. Besides, he is easy grade teacher. He curves a lot. I cant believe I get A in his class. I didnt do that well in his exam. He is sooooooooooooooooo nice.
Good teacher, same format as 3A. Much easier to achieve a good grade than in Sanders' 3B class. Harmons powerpoints are helpful.
Abosulutely the greatest accounting professor here at UCSB! Extremely clear and straightforward. Explains material so well with much detail and clarity.
harmon is a very nice teacher, very fair, is straightfoward and very clear. He's also very accessible and accomodating, and is always there to help out! He also has a sense of humor and make the class that much more enjoyable

Harmon is a great teacher! He's very nice and fair, as well as understanding. I've had him for two other classes, and I've enjoyed them both. He is very clear and thorough, and doesn't try to trick you. Very accessible and helpful in office hours as well.
He always shows up 5-10 minutes late. The class isn't too hard but he's not the greatest teacher, which makes it boring, and harder.
