    ECON5 . Hartman J L 8 Months Ago

    Took AP Stats so course was easy BUT if you're NEW to stats, this course is a NIGHTMARE! Recorded lectures & sections are USELESS. Only 1 REQUIRED weekly activity section! You have to SELF-STUDY EVERYTHING!! Instructors @office hours are HORRIBLE at explaining concepts. LOTS of online WEEKLY work! DO THE PRACTICE PRIOR MIDTERM/FINALS TO GET AN A!!!

    ECON5 . Hartman J L 10 Months Ago

    Bunch of small weekly assignments not worth much. One section is mando, rest aren't. Midterm worth 10%, final worth 25%, can not take middy and move weight to final. Lectures are vids and completely useless. Just self study everything, google/chatgpt stuff and don't bother trying to interact with the prof/TAs for help.

    ECON5 . Hartman J L 10 Months Ago

    I dont know how the structure of this course is now, but I took it Fall 2022 along with Econ 10A so that was brutal. I put less effort into this course but I still got into the major. There would be online recordings wed have to watch then in person go and work in group assignments. Pretty tough course for me but I made it.

    ECON5 . Hartman J L 11 Months Ago

    You might be wondering why I put hilarious in my review of the most uninteresting man in the world, Professor Hartman. I put it because Hartman and his group of minion TAs are hilariously unhelpful and do not know the material. The video lectures are hilariously unhelpful and hard to follow. Also your grade basically rests on the final.
