BIOCORE 384
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Professor Harris is one of the most callous, unprofessional and manipulative teachers I have ever met. If you keep your distance she isn't the worst, may even seem nice. However, as someone who regularly interacts with her, I cannot begin to explain everything Michelle has done to me to make me personally hate her. To each their own.
