Professor Harmon is a gem - while lectures can be disorganized, his engaging style and generous curve make this class very doable. Attend class, use the textbook, and try unstuck ai for easy study prep.

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

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.

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.

DON'T DO IT!!!! GREAT INFO BUT WILL DRAIN YOU OF ALL BRAINPOWER AND ENERGY!!!!!!!!! DO NOT TAKE 139 WITH HARMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First half of the class is pretty easy, explains the subject reasonably well and midterm isn't too bad. Second half of the class...good god, doesnt explain homeworks properly before assigning, contradicts textbook 50% of the time, has multiple wrong answers on the homework for the most confusing part of the class (which is 50% of final).

I liked Harmon in 3B and 136A, but this class was a mess-- disorganized and hard to follow during class, unapproachable and aloof outside of class. What he taught in class was often different from what the book said. Worse still, independent googling of these discrepancies often resulted in a third answer as unhelpful as the rest. Take at own risk.

Love Harmon! NOt too hard of a class pretty straight forward

It's very simple: If becoming a CPA is not your ulitmate goal, then don't take this class. Those of you who want to become CPAs and have complained about this class need to suck it up. If you want professors to hold your hand throughout your entire college career consider switching into comm or soc because this is not the place for you.

I like Harmon as a person (and for Econ 3b) but for 139, he kinda sucked. He was unorganized, used a book that was full of incorrect information, inconsiderate in posting assignments in a timely fashion, and grading didn't seem to reflect the work contributed or knowledge gained. There are 2 midterms that were hard and had too much for the time all

The homework he gave was ridiculous. He made us do the homework even before we had the class!!That also counts into your final grade.First mid term questions were really difficult addition with short time. Second mid term we been told the format is multiple choice on the day of exam.He was confirmed before that there would be work sheet questions!

I took econ 139 last spring. I got an A in the class but had to work really hard. We had just moved to a new textbook and as such the homework was a bit chaotic and some of the answers were incorrect in the solutions he showed us during class. The first midterm is difficult, the second not so bad. The Finals are VERY difficult. We could take home.

Fantastic professor. I have taken him for nearly all my accounting classes and enjoyed everyone. Yes tests can be difficult but most of the topics he teaches are difficult. Others say he doesn't care about our success but he actually does. He just doesn't hold your hand the whole time.

i saw some of my classmates rating coby,lol. let me take it further. coby WAS a nice guy when he was teaching 136b, but not seem to be so in 139. he relied too much on the wiley ppt show, what he did every cls was to give the answer he get from the solution manual+showing the ppt from the publisher. we can do all this at home, cant we?

He used to be a nice guy, but apparently changed his teaching style. Do not really like him. He is not interested in the success of his students, which is a shame for a prf

It was an okay class. Interesting accounting topics that are useful for the CPA exam and for careers in accounting, but the teaching style was not great. We seemed to be moving too slow and was left to teach ourselves a majority of the topics. Multiple choice are tricky and the government accounting topic could have been taught a lot better.

His office hours are not very helpful. He may seem to try really hard to teach the material in class but doesn't care about his students much. Overall an ordinary instructor.

HORRIBLE teacher. He has no regard for the success of his students. His help is next to nothing and his lectures can best be described as ramblings. Avoid him like the plague.

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

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.
