The lecture slides are disorganized and aren't useful. It's a lot of self learning and doing practice problems/reading the textbook. She gives practice problems that only test conceptual understanding. But the tests are hard bc problems are long and worded in a tricky way. Lectures are interesting but all over the place.

Paid 50+ for an useless textbook, idk why this should be allowed despite our huge tuition fees. Tests are so unreasonable and designed in a way to trick students. She took off the regrade option so it is impossible to argue for a grade. She does not consider opinions of students. ATROCIOUS experience.

The tests in the class are unreasonably hard, the questions were hard to understand and there is no extra credit/curves

I've had him a couple times but this is finally the last time. Class grades are mostly test based and you would think that 50-60% test averages would be a sign for him to fix something. Honestly better off not going to lecture since he just reads off the slides anyways. Expected to know way more then whats covered in lecture so keep that in mind.

Doesn't give us enough time for tests.

In no forms of disrespect, my honest feedback of the course is listed below: 1. Wording of the test is confusing and unfriendly. The phrasing is designed as if it is meant to confuse students. 2. Tests are super fast paced, we are given around 1.6 minute per q with various calculation. The confusing wording only makes it harder 3. unreasonable

She cares way too much about iclicker and does not teach the content on the tests.

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!!!

Sections 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.

10A was so easy with Hartman. explains things clearly and forces you to thing critically about the material which makes you actually learn the concepts instead of just memorizing.

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.

Online video lectures instead of in person.

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.

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.

Honestly this class just requires extra work. Do the practice exams. Hartman will encourage questions but then give a very vague answer or say "look into this on your own."

The class is not hard at all. There is no need to go to lectures as long as you understand what's happening. Just do the past exams, attend sections, and you will be fine.

I understand that 10A is a weeder class but there is a difference between finding smart students and offering absolutely no help at all. His lectures are pretty much useless for tests. His attitude towards answering emails, students, and just his job in general is really poor. My advice is to do old exams and work with people in the class/ TAs.

As a current member of L&S Honors Program, I persuade you to leave away from this xx as far as u can. John is a politician who constantly tries to sell his manipulation minds and ideas. Browse his slides, u will find out he keeps generating unnecessary pressure and brainwashing you with his set of 'success life' theory. Jesus Christ, Nightmare!

He acts like a politician, when I and my group would ask him questions he would talk forever and not answer our questions. He just spins the question around and makes it impossible to get a real answer from him. For lectures, there are recorded videos. Be prepared to teach yourself, luckily this was a review for me since I took statistics in hs.

Professor Hartman doenst teacher. He is very rude to his students. He has a sense of superiority that is very saddening. He doenst teach the course but rather sends lecture videos. so be prepared to teach yourself. there is not enough practice being applied in this course. the format and approach of this course is not very helpful to do well.
