Professor
Dan Harries
Most Helpful Review
Winter 2016 - Professor Harries is an extremely disconnected lecturer with a poorly designed class. His lectures were very dry and unorganized, often with out a specific theme of topic. It seemed like he would just ramble on about whatever he wanted and even made up stuff. He said this was okay because, and I quote, "That's what you do when you have a PhD. " The readings were irrelevant but the midterm about the things he made up in class. The lectures were fairly useless after the first midterm because the final was take home. For not having to go to a lot of the lectures and doing minimal work, the class is overall fairly easy but boring and sometimes absolutely pointless.
