Public Administration PhD teaches customized classes in public policy analysis, management, evaluation in Victoria, BC

Harish is the one who truly deserves the title of "super-professor". I have been his student for two years and the kind of guidance and mentorship I received was incredible. While he possess a great knowledge of his subject matter, he explains it in the most rational and understandable way. His students always receive a dose of his fun theories,ideas and strategies which makes the subject more interesting and relatable and keep the enthusiasm alive. Always encouraging and guiding for best! 10/10 for super professor Harish!

I took three courses which were taught by Prof. Harish at Azim Premji University, Bangalore, India. Those three courses were Public Policy in India, Strategic Planning and Performance Management for Profit and Non-Profit Organization and Qualitative Approaches to Analyze in Public Policy. According to my experience, all three courses were designed in a way where the students can learn multiple skills which are important from a practitioners perspective. From the courses, I learned stakeholder mapping and analysis, how to write effective memo and policy briefs, SWOT analysis, qualitative research methods and analysis with a tool NViVO and performance and result based analysis.

Prof. Harish has a very engaging and interactive style of teaching. His lectures are well-thought and well-prepared for the classes. His assessments were based on real public issues and were designed in such a way that encourages students to think out of the box. For a student, it is important to get feedback. With my experience, I can assure that students would get a line by line feedback along with overall feedback. It is impossible for Prof. Harish to miss out anything, good or bad. His feedback would include what is good and how further work can be improved. I believe that which is very important and it is commendable that he does that but not many professors have this style of giving feedbacks. He is very hard-working and passionate towards teaching and it is clearly noticeable in his style of work.

For me, Prof. Harish is not just a professor who taught three courses. He has been a wonderful mentor too. He has the quality to build a relationship out of the class where you can seek his guidance on career/ academic related challenges a student faces. He always encourages his students and motivates them to do well in academics as well as in life.

I would recommend Prof. Harish for a vital reason, that is, the style and approach towards teaching and designing course are very practical. By practical I mean, he knows how things work on the ground level. Therefore, he will teach you skills which can be implemented in the professional space. Additionally, a student would get the best mentor, a kind of mentor a student want to have always by his/her side.

He has taught me for 3 semesters at Azim Premji University. I have taken courses on Public policy analysis and qualitative research. He is an amazing teacher who would listen to you even if you ring him up in the midnight and help you solve your problems. I used to be really bad at qualitative research, but he helped me out by instilling confidence in me. I recommend Harish sir to any other student because he is an amazing teacher, a great friend, and the best listener. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had in my life.

Harish is a great educator. He taught us courses in Strategic Management and Qualitative Research Methods. I think the best part about his courses was his pedagogy which made us think and interact in class. We could approach him, ask our doubts and he would make sure that he clarified them. His well prepared classes demonstrated his passion for teaching and the courses which he taught. I believe it would be a great experience for those who choose to learn and interact with him.

Conveys concepts in a very lucid manner.
Great concept clarity and productive exercises on performance measurement, strategic planning and organization theory and leadership.

definitely a thumbs up!

Prof.Harish is a avid teacher. His method of conducting lecture is very helpful in understanding key insights from the specific topics. He is well prepared with the agenda and resources for every lecture. He could convey complex thematic and skill related subjects in a simpler manner.

Prof. Harish taught me two courses at Azim Premji University, Bangalore: Public Policy in India and Qualitative Approach to Analyze Public Policy. I really enjoyed attending his classes not only because of the quality of the lectures, which without any doubt was top notch, but also his way of teaching was unique. Something that I had never really seen before. Each class of prof. Harish was like a journey from a point to another during which we learned together. Outside the class, every interaction that we were engaged in had great value in terms of my professional career development. I will really recommend him for two reasons. First, his ability to explain things through a excellent mixture of theoretical and practical standpoints. Second, his ability of provide excellent direction to one's career through practical suggestions.

Harish has been my University Professor. He has taught me Strategic Planning and Performance Management. He is a wonderful teacher and a great person. He encourages his students to think out of the box. One best part about his teaching is that he plans activities to apply the concepts that he teaches. His feedbacks have always been helpful. I highly recommend him to the other Superprof members.

He's an excellent prof with in-depth knowledge on qualitative analysis of public policy. Giving examples, he simplifies classes and also has shared anecdotes from his field experiences and research. His classes were thoroughly fun to be at! How would the time pass by - one wouldn't realise!!

I met Prof. Harish at Azim Premji University, Bengaluru, India, where I took up his course on Qualitative Approaches to Analyzing a Public Policy
In terms of teaching:
He is someone who engages with creative ways of teaching any concept in hand. He brings out live examples of daily life which a student can relate to easily to make the concepts which are difficult easy to comprehend and understand. Along with this, he also provides hand on experience in the class room through small group/individual activities regarding the concept that is being taught at the end of the session. The most important thing for a student who submit assignments, is feedback, and this Prof. Harish is amazing at. He provides detailed feedback for assignments and even if you approach him outside of class. There will not be a single line in the assignment that is misses and this feedback is provided on time as well. He goes into details of the assignment and helps you improve to reach greater heights. He also highlights those students who have written exemplar papers which motivates any individual to reach there. He also commends students who attend his classes regularly with a small surprise at the end of the course :)

Why I recommend Prof. Harish? :
This is mainly because of his teaching style and the kind of person he is. He has detailed understanding of the concept that he is teaching and always comes prepared to class which is the most important aspect in a professor. He is very dedicated to his students and helps them out in every way he can. Along with this, he is also a very fun person inside the classroom and anybody would definitely look forward to his classes specially the way he begins them to lighten the mood of his students. I finally recommend him to the other Superprof members because, he has been a great mentor (and still is) and a very supportive professor throughout the duration I took his course. The way he teaches and engages the classroom/students is something every individual should look forward to.

Dhriti :)

Harish sir is the one professor who instills a practical understanding in his students. He does things differently and opts news methodologies to proceed. The humble professor is indeed the most fun to be taught by.

In almost all of his classes he comes up with great analogies to create a base. Only a clear understanding of concepts himself has made him one of the best professors I have come across.
