The reviews are, for once, an accurate representation of the professor. Avoid at all costs.

ECON5 . Hartman J L 14 Days Ago

Lectures are pretty much useless except for the mandatory one. Professor Hartman is a lazy instructor. All the dude does in the videos is read off the slides and tries to talk slowly to pretend he is explaining it at a deeper level. At least the TA's videos are a little bit better but get ready to pretty much teach yourself the entire course.

Class isn't too difficult except for the fact that you have to teach it to yourself! Online lectures are so pointless, Hartman doesn't even teach. Final was hard. Don't skip the midterm even though it's only 10%!!

Awful professor. This class will not teach you everything. You're going to have to learn everything on your own. If you can avoid him, please do!

Econ 5, Hartman only appeared in online videos, but oml, I cannot stand the guy. He reads off slides word for word and switches up his tone of voice so that it sounds like he is adding remotely anything of value, while sounding condescending and unintelligent. He sticks his tongue out every 2 seconds. I could go forever but there is a char limit...
