struggles to teach the material effectively. Lectures often involve rambling, getting lost in the slides, and frequent interruptions like “wait, this slide is wrong.” he often just tells us to watch the videos, where he reads directly from the slides, making mistakes along the way.

The most disorganized class I've ever had taken w the laziest professor who just reads off the slides. Stats is a subject that's straightfor but when he teaches it, it makes absolutely no sense. I spent all of thanksgiving break and dead week studying and still failed the final (60+ hours). That should tell you how unnecessarily hard the final was

Simply awful.

He is very stick to the rule book, not very helpful in your once a week in class activity. I never went to in person lecture so cant speak on that but the lecture videos were hit or miss sometimes helpful. Chat gpt taught me most of this class. You can learn most of the material the week of the final/midterm. Class isn't too difficult.

The contrast between the difficulty of the midterm and the final was insane. Dude has no business being an econ professor I'm not sure why the university hasn't fired this dude yet. He also has the worst music taste and thats still one of the least embarrassing things about him. Do not take his class.

John Hartman has no business being a professor of anyone, let alone college students. This was the most disjointed class I've taken at any level of academics and this man should be embarrassed and ashamed at the quality of education he provides to thousands of students every year. If you get stuck with him, do not go to his pointless lectures.
