Best philosophy teacher I ever had--she is the reason I minored in PHIL. Gives great assignments and quizzes are reasonable. Gold stars! I loved her approach to the material, and she is always very, very helpful when you have questions.

Simple in style, yet very intelligent. Difficult to comprehend material, but with her assistance things lighten up. Make sure to study for tests, make biggest impact on grade!

The work came easy to me. She seems to explain the material well enough for everyone to learn, but some people still don't get it. If you already have some reasoning skills, you should excel.

You only have to get the work book and she spends at least 2 days on everything. She'll meet with you anytime to help out more. People just don't understand and you can't teach phil through a text book.

This is very much a self taught class because her teaching style is very off the wall. She doesn't explain concepts very clearly. Though I must say that she is willing to help students out of the classrooom.

It was a very boring class

Very caring and understanding. If you ask her to explain something...she actually does it.

If she offers extra study sessions before tests make sure to go, they help out a lot! Otherwise try taking Phil 194 with someone else if you want a good grade.

If you want to do well on her unannounced quizzes, you better expect to do a lot of reading. Her lectures don't coincide with the quizzes, but are helpful when taking exams and writing papers

Really stimulated my interest in philosophy. Tests weren't too bad (essay, as I recall).

She's super boring but her class was super easy. No studying at all if you show up to class.

kind of goes through things fast, very boring..grades are only based on group quizzes and tests. You pretty much have to teach yourself

The class was very very easy. I went to every class but never did the homework or studied for tests and I got an easy A. She does talk a lot, but she just tries to make everything as clear as possible. Loves questions and is very nice to her students.

if you actually try and listen to her in class the material is not hard, tests are straightforward, right from the material, plus she is very very very helpful if you ever want to ask her outside of class for more explanations!

she is kinda boring, but the material is interesting, the textbook is great (it's actually a novel)....you MUST go to class, there is daily homework....shes ok, class if good

She is an ok professor. She tends to repeat her self often. The material is easy if you pay atteniton in class and do the daily homework.

Hartz is an okay teacher. She can get a little crazy at times but the material is really interesting--it's pretty much a history of philosophy overview. Tests are straight from the class material, no trick questions, and the tests are all multiple choice. She's really picky about papers but as long as you pay attention in class you'll be fine.

Extremely helpful outside of class. Test material is straight forward. If you go to class, you'll be fine. Is very understanding.

I really like Professor Hartz. She was really helpful when I didn't understand the content. The stuff is a bit difficult to understand, but if you actually listen in class and do the homework, it's a lot easier than you'd think.

She gives you a paper packet that has all of the homework/notes in it which is really nice. You don't have to do any homework, the tests are fairly easy and you get a lot of extra credit every test for simply doing the sudoko on back. Occasionally you get into groups for group work, which is easy. Easy material, no homework,take her for PHIL 194

She is really annoying to listen to and it is a pretty boring class. Attendance isn't mandatory, but she assigns random group work and if your not there then you miss the points and those tend to add up pretty quickly. If you go to class and pay attention you will do fine because it is not hard.

the book is a novel, kinda boring book but you dont have to read it, she makes it seem like you do but she only tests and quizes on the notes she gives you in class so if you attend every class and take notes you will get an A easily. But pop quizes so study your notes for like 5 min before each class just in case

Brilliant philosopher!

Very easy common sense stuff.. Extremely boring too, but what do you expect from Philosophy? She's good at explaining, a little too good. I felt like she was talking to us like seventh grades, maybe fifth. But if you need a class to pass, pick this one.

Class is pretty easy if you go and pay attention. You have to complete an online quiz every day, but you're only graded on if you completed it or not. No textbook. Hartz explains things really well, but she's hard to take seriously with the way she dresses. She looks like a slob and wears Legos in her hair. Not the most interesting class, but easy.

No text, homework on D2L. Points for doing homework, not how well you do it. Go to class and print D2L notes daily, she covers things thoroughly. Extra credit is sudoku so practice...4 points each test X 5 tests. Some portions harder than others but fairly easy grade. In class work for points...you miss and can't make it up.

Super easy class IF you go and pay attention if you dont it will be really hard. No text just D2L quizzes that take from 5 to 10 minutes and are only graded on completion. Sudokus for A LOT of extra credit.

Best professor I've had. She clearly knows what she is talking about and teaches very neutrally about her subject. She is willing to work with students. You will have to put some effort into the class if you want a good grade, but it is a rewarding experience.

Really good proffesor and very helpful. A little weird but in a good way. I recommend her. As long as you go to class you will do very well. Only tests and quizes that you are just given points for doing.

Back in fall 2009 i had her and i think she was a great teacher. Very knowledgable and could help you with your problems you might have. Everything was in the packet she used and her examples in class were great as well. I think all you need to do is put some study effort into the class and good chance you'll get a good grade.

A good professor when it comes to explaining the subject in class. Goes thoroughly into it. Mumbled a lot. Take advantage of sodukos even if you're not so good at it. Exams are easy if you get the material.

She is very helpful and makes things that don't make sense seem better and clearer.

Class was so easy as long as you read the very short assigned chapter you should understand the homework. Boring but easy.

Any questions you had she answered very promptly. She made things very clear! I highly recommend her!

Very easy class if you read the section assigned and show up to class. If you are confused, just ask her and she will explain to you. Try not to miss class because it's easy to get lost if you get behind. Tests are easy, barely studied.

Hartz lectures a lot, but she also makes sure her students are engaged. If the class is listless, she has us do some agree/disagree, where we move around and debate various topics. She is easy to talk to and is willing to help out her students, you just have to ask. She likes to talk about her work with children (which is usually funny).

I really enjoyed this class and this professor! She made it easy to understand and I look forward to taking more courses with her next fall.

Tests were short answer and in class essay. However, she teaches so fabulously that you really don't need to study much for these tests to get good grades. There's a lot of participation possible, which I HIGHLY recommend you take part in as much as possible. This will help you a lot in remembering the ideas in the class.

No textbook. This class is a breeze. Lectures are interesting and there's plenty of opportunity to practice concepts. Will talk students through issues they're having. Graded group work in class and online quizzes are main source of points besides exams. I'd love to take another class with Hartz.

Dr. Hartz was a good professor. She actually taught "critical thinking" and logical arguments. I learned a lot about philosophy even though I am not a philosophy major. She did not require a book which was really nice. Also there was no homework for this class. She was flexible and caring.

Carolyn is a really good professor to have when you just start at SCSU. She has a peer mentor within the class to help guide you through transition as well as helps you if you need to find a place. In regards to the class, make sure to go to the write place to fix any grammatical errors + ask for advice regarding your paper before submission.

Awesome professor. Gives a lot of quizzes and to be done in groups, that's the only bummer. But very available if you need her. Gives very good advise as well.

Overall a great professor. The tests are difficult. She did an amazing job transitioning the course to online learning. Attendance is crucial, reading ahead and paying attention is the key to success in this course.

Professor Hartz is one of the most helpful professors I've ever had. She only made us do the reading outside of class because she wanted us to work on the homework in class so she could help. The book made no sense but she explained it in a way that everyone in the class could understand. 10/10 professor 8/10 course (Phil 223)

I am absolutely NOT a math/logic person, and I was DREADING taking a class to fulfill this goal area. Dr. Hartz teaches formal and symbolic logic in a way that is incredibly accessible and is happy to give you the tools you need to succeed. She is kind, engaging, and is clearly passionate about what she does. Take this class to meet goal 5!

Pretty good lectures, and knows what she's talking about. Can be a bit boring, but you will learn from her. Got a great understanding on logic from this class, so i don't regret it at all.
