ECON5 . Hartman J L 15 Days Ago

The single worst class I have ever taken, by far!!! He does not describe the problems and only reads the lecture slides.

ECON5 . Hartman J L 4 Months Ago

This the most poorly organized class I have ever taken. Hartman is one of the worst lecturers/professors I have seen in a long time. There is also no getting out of him if you are an econ major as he is the only one who teaches econ 5

The setup of this class is weird bc of the three sections AND lecture period throughout the week but I'd recommend only skipping the R sections. he lowk doesn't teach much, just kinda reads off the slides so def go to CLAS and watch the supplemental vids in Canvas bc that's actually saving me rn

ECON5 . Hartman J L 7 Months Ago

Genuinely one of if not the worst professors I have ever had. I learned more about the class by repeatedly doing old finals or midterms than I ever could by listening to his lectures. Any time I went to lecture it was a complete waste of time, and I usually left more confused than informed. Avoid Hartman at all costs.

this class structure is a MESS, so its a good thing the content isnt too hard. hartman is clearly very into econ 5 but his teaching/ way of explaining is so unhelpful. he overexplains without giving an actual answer. after doing so bad in 10A this class was refreshing because if you study you'll actually get a good grade.
