Easy A if you do the lessons. I would recommend taking this course online if you can, for with Hamman's class you only get the 50 minutes to do the assignment but the whole day if taken online. Must show up to class to do the assignments, but lessons are outside class. Not a bad choice if you get him. Final isn't mandatory if passing.

Hamman's class is impossible to fail if you put in the effort. He offers A LOT of extra credit. This is a flipped class where you do the lessons at home and do the work in class but its all online. You have to go to class because assignments are password protected. He really does want everyone in his class to pass. Beware of Acesss and Excel units.

Most classes he lectures for bit then gives us that day's code. He barely teaches anything in class. He seems more concerned about making sure people show up to class than about them learning anything while they're there. That said, there is a lot of tedious extra credit that will help you get through his class.

Mr. Hamman offered many extra credit opportunities and test reviews that helped us learn concepts before exams! The exams themselves were challenging, but reasonable. If you completed the weekly tasks sometimes you wouldn't need to attend class. Also, if you accumulated enough points in the class you could opt out of the final exam.

I took his hybrid course, and it was probably more difficult than in-person because there were no live lectures, just very long video lectures. I found those hard to pay attention to. In-person projects are random partner-based and tests are solo, which can be good or bad depending on the prep the class does beforehand. Offers a ton of extra cred!

Although he is a relatively easy professor, it is the material that presents challenges. Easy class as long as you keep up with the assignments on simnet (McGraw Hill).
