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 had Harmon for 136A and just had him for 136C. For me, his classes were pretty hard. The only class I've gotten these grades in was 10A. That being said, I enjoy him as a person and he is pretty funny which makes his class less frustrating. If you dedicate all your time to this class then you will do well, otherwise be ready to settle for a B/C.

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.

7 exams, all mc, and drop 1 lowest. But clearly not enough time to take the exams, 25-40 mins each only. The main point is that sometimes you don't find the correct answer from any of the selections, so you will get extremely confused when taking the exam with that short amount of time. And what he teaches is different from what you see from exams

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.
