| Additional Comments |
This course is certainly in the upper bracket of a moderate difficulty rating. There are five films to go see outside of class in the afternoons at Cherry Hall that can be hard to make if you are on a tight schedule. Also, the three papers can get lengthy and he grades them difficulty. His tests are easy and I got A's on them but I couldn't get above (or below) a B on the papers. Extra credit came for taking papers to the writing center.
Dr. Harkins is a nice guy one on one with many pleasantries and numerous emails to help you keep up. However, he is boring as a teacher, at least for me. His presentation style is not that exciting and he is a social/cultural history expert; so, you get history a bit too heavily from that perspective. Still, some days are better than others and Dr. Harkins always seemed fair in both the history and to give the reasons why I got a lower grade.
Would I take another class from him? Well, he also teaches the US since 1945 which I really wanted to take, but now I will take a wait and see approach to see if anyone else in the department is better.
