This class and professor is not as bad as its reputation. Hartman knows the material well and explains the concepts and some examples. The course content is based around a few key concepts, so put in the work and you will be fine. He also offers many old practice exams and practice problems that helped a lot on the challenging tests.

I took this online over the summer and it was hard af, he doesn't know how to teach this class. He barely did any practice problems so when it got to the test I barely knew shit. I took ECON 5 with him too and that was in-person and very hard because it was the same thing, he didn't teach the damn class. I only got a B because I grinded heavily.

Hartman sucks. He reads the words on his slides and doesn't teach anything. There is one required class a week but so many small pointless assignments throughout the week. Always says he's available to answer questions but he never clearly answers them and just goes on a tangent about something I didn't ask about. Scared for the final.

If you can survive from this professor, you can succeed in ANY CLASS!

Very boring class. Doesn't answer your questions.

Doesn't answer your questions. In-class activities way easier compared to the tests. Take the midterm!(it's way easier than the final).

Prof Bedard is an okay professor, the class itself is very test heavy so if you do the homework and read the textbook you should do fine. People do however say Econ 1 is a weeder class and it kind of is so beware if you have a deep hatred of Econ don't take this class.

The worst econ professor. Only reads materials in online lecture video without explaining the concept. Literally work-by-word from the slide. So is other professor of this class (Econ 5). The test is relative fair it's just don't try to rely on the lecture videos. Watch the slides and attend CLAS. You will be fine (hopefully).

Class is super straight forward and everything is clearly stated in the syllabus. There are only 100 points given out throughout the quarter so you just need to be careful of small mistakes and you will get an A.

Hundreds of complaints after each quiz/exam. Never respond or just telling you "Nothing wrong." Yes, even I got an A, this is still unacceptable. btw my friends are not as lucky as me, don't know when they will comment here.

Very good professor

Easy A+ for Econ 1.

She is very straightforward in what you need to do in the class, but when it comes to projects, students were usually left in the dark, especially if you are new to excel. She and her TAs never answered project questions clearly and students had to rely on one another for any type of real help. The quizzes and tests are all online and open book.

Don't neglect this class for 10A- you still need a passing grade as an Econ major. This class is easy if you show up and do your work, but beware that the final is difficult.

Hartman says he wants to help students but will deflect any question you come to him with. He encourages students who could do well to drop his course and doesn't seem to care about the well-being of his students. The lectures aren't worth it to attend- you'll get the same information online through the pre-recorded ones. Good luck!

Class was taught by many teachers and they all recorded videos to watch 3 times a week followed by a quiz. Mandatory once a week meeting. This class is easy to pass but not easy to do well. Hartman is terrible had him for 10A at the same time he put the finals on the same day on Saturday! You have to teach yourself how to do everything.

Tests are the only thing that really matters at 45% of your grade. Lecture is worthless you need to do your own research on the topics and DO THE OLD EXAMS!!! He provides many of them and if you do them all you learn how to do the exams! Dont ever miss hw or quiz at the end it gets down to having 100% in everything then C average on test to get B

The class is straightforward. Tests are open book. If you watch the lectures, complete the projects, and do the assignments, I don't see how you don't do well. I genuinely enjoyed her lectures and felt that she did a great job of connecting content to practical, real life examples.

Keep up with lectures, do the practice questions, and don't procrastinate on projects. Not a hard A.

He is unworthy of being a professor. He should educate himself first. Every time you ask him a question, he just throws something else at you. Cold-blooded and doesn't care about students.

Firstly, the professor is not good at teaching. He does not explain each concept fully with relevant clearances and examples. TAs are nice. The tests are completed unrelated to past exams so you have to study the materials on your own. As a person who enjoys learning economics, I can say the design of this course completely ruined my experience.

He doesnt go over problems or how to do them. The lectures are not closely related to the test questions.

10A is a disrespectful weeder class. The exams are artificially difficult. The actually material is easy to grasp and to apply but when lecturer John tests you on things that are no covered it makes it almost impossible to get a good grade in the class. The average grade is below a C. So if you get an average grade you will fail the class.

Very good professor, you will succeed if you work hard.
