CollegeSections require group work. Lectures are mandatory with the iClicker. Exams are hard and time-limited. 40 minutes for 32 multiple-choice questions. :( A textbook is required for homework. 4 exams in total, and you can drop the lowest one. (you can skip the final if you want.) You really need to spend a lot of time on this class if you want an A.
heartless prof. my best friend spent a week in the hospital and died at the end of the quarter and he refused to excuse the lecture quizzes i missed while i was in the hospital with her. also i completed the excel project due the day she was taken off life support but the autograder didnt work and he still refused help me or manually grade it
The reviews are, for once, an accurate representation of the professor. Avoid at all costs.
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!
