Dr. Harari is enthusiastic, unpretentious (doesn't make you call him Dr.), and intelligent. He weaves cognitive and learning science into his methods. His syllabus is straightforward, very clear, and fair. He is a reasonable person and grader. Most of the class is exams, and he requires attendance and participation (also part of your grade).BIO101 2026-06-15 15:01:42 +0000 UTC
excellent, great , explanatory lecturesBIO101 2025-11-02 10:58:22 +0000 UTC
Professor Harari is great! I'm honestly disappointed that he isn't teaching Bio 2 over the summer. It's a lot of material, so don't leave studying until the last minute. His lectures are solid and he clearly cares a lot about the success of his students. I wish he taught more courses, as I would definitely take his class again! Highly recommend!BIO101 2025-04-28 20:54:08 +0000 UTC
Can't say enough great things about Professor Harari! He's really engaging and gives clear, comprehensive examples for each topic. No electronics allowed in class (so no digital notes), but I didn't find adjusting to be a problem. Just be ready to study and ask questions, and he'll work hard to help you get it. Would definitely take again!BIO101 2025-04-28 19:49:57 +0000 UTC
This professor is great at engaging the class while also letting one fall under a spell of dissociation, if that is something that happens to you. Electronics of any kind are not permitted during the class, even for notes, and instead, we are required to print our lessons and slides, as though we carry quarters, for each class.BIO101 2024-09-24 22:04:41 +0000 UTC
Professor Hararri reads about 180-200 slides a night. Very overwhelming, His class is useless to learn from. you could read the slides at home and save yourself 2 hours of your lifeBIO101 2024-02-12 01:14:07 +0000 UTC

Professor Harari is an amazing person and teacher. He clearly cares about his students. He gives amazing explanations and you can tell teaching is his passion. The best teacher I have ever seen. His classes are challenging but in a good way, you must meet him halfway by putting the work in. He makes a difficult subject very digestible.BIO101 2022-11-11 23:25:47 +0000 UTC
Professor Harari is a top notch teacher. His explanation of concepts made it easy for us to grasp. If more teachers were like him I might have finished college back when I was younger. Be prepared to read the material and participation plays a big role in his classes. He creates a unique learning environment and brings enthusiasm to the class.BIO101 2022-11-11 20:13:02 +0000 UTC
