Harwell only had three exams, each was multiple choice. He provides study guides for each exam and has open office hours. Overall, If you pay attention in class, do the readings, and memorize the works of art from the study guide you are pretty much guaranteed an A! In terms of his lectures, he is very knowledgable on the subjects and kind of a silly guy unintentionally. It is such a pleasure to sit through his classes and he doesn't take attendance (you do have to go to class if you want to succeed). Expert tip: catch him before he runs out of class if you need to communicate with him because he is not great with answering emails. In summary, love this professor and the class was enjoyable!

Harwell clearly is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject but OMG THIS MAN HAS ZERO COMMUNICATION SKILL. For a remote learning class, Prof. Harwell ensured that he does not reply to a single email, there are no ways to reach him, and nothing is explained.

If you are someone who wants to know the starting time of your midterm before it already started, do not take his class.

Also, the class is 50% midterm and 50% finals so if you didn't do well on ur midterm only god can help you.

The workload is manageable as there are no assignments other than readings. There is no extra credit. If there is, I wouldn't know, because he never answered my email.
