Fall 2023 - Professor Harrison is excellent. He is tough, but looking back on the quarter, I learned a lot because of it. Though his pop quizzes sometimes felt unfair or stressful, he is super understanding and kind if you talk to him 1 on 1. He is very passionate about what you read in class so definitely think twice before criticizing it. I ultimately would recommend Professor Harrison but get ready to put in the work!
