Wonderful teacher!!!
This guy is an excellent teacher! Very dynamic style, helpful and smart.
PROBABLY THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD!! Extremely funny and helpful. He will always go the extra mile for his students.
This teacher made me change my major to Ecoomics. tough test but cool funny helpful guy!!
really nice guy, very funny. but he speaks really quietly and fast so you have a hard time understanding him... his tests are super hard... he's not very clear in explaining things because he goes through stuff so fast.
Pretty good teacher, usually keeps it interesting.
Really good teacher. You will look forward to his classes. The only thing is that the quizzes have questions that not only he did not talk about but is not in the book eighter.
In the review bellow it ended with " Fun teacher" Mr. Hartman has an Enthusiasm for his subject And brings that Enthusiasm to class each and every day..
He is a very very good teacher, and he is really fun and helpful.
Excellent Economics teacher. Classes are not boring.
Good teacher, I would take him again
He's awesome. The person who said the quiz have questions he didn't talk about or not in the book is crazy. The quiz are before material so you have to be prepared, plus he'll give you help if you start the quiz before the due date. He really loves ECON!
very knowledgable instructor, high paced class and instructor. course was difficult and his fast pace made it even more difficult.
Great teacher. Just goto class with the quizes printed out and you'll do fine. A really nice guy, but will not just give you good grade. You have to earn it. I would recommend and take a different course with him teaching.
FAST TALKER! TALKS SO FAST AND EXPLAINS TOO FAST! TESTS ARE NOT REALLY HARD BUT WHAT MAKES THEM HARD IS HIS PACE AND HOW WELL U REMEMBERED WHAT HE TALKED ABOUT! I WITHDREW AND CHANGED MY MAJOR!
Very Good Teacher. He is fast-paced in his presentations, but still easy to follow in class. His test are somewhat hard, but read each chapter just before he presents them in class along with bringing the on-line quizes to class, and will you ACE his tests everytime. Very entertaining in class too.
Enthusiastic teacher! Do on-line quizzes and attend class. Willing to help with unclear material, but you must be willing to study the material for a good grade.
Hadley is a great teacher. He is passionate about the subject, knows it quite well, and passes that passion on to his students.
He is a good teacher, but his tests are so tricky. On the tests, he plays with words to confuse you. If you expect to get an A, stay away from him. I worked my butt out, but I got only a C.
Mr Hartman is amazing. I feel sorry for anyone who took this class without him, because they didn't get the full effect, or the fun! His class makes me want to go to school and I find myself disappointed when the class ends. Definitely recommended. Con: Test are tricky
Mr. Hartman is really awesome. He makes lame jokes, but in a funny way. If you read the text carefully, the class isn't that difficult.
He's a good professor, but he grades tough. I like him on a personal level, but if you don't put forth any effort, it will show in his class. I put forth very little effort and got a C. He'd be a great teacher if you were.. actually interested in economics in the first place.
He's an awesome professor but also a tough professor. If you put forth effort and try you should be able to do good. He has a very good teaching style. The only thing to get use to are his online quizzes which aren't to easy, other than that the class isn't too bad
He is AWESOME!! Funny, great personality, and as helpful as he can be. I went to class almost everyday and read usually just before the tests, and easily got A's in both of the ECO classes. I was sad to see the semester end. Highly recommend him to anyone willing to put forth the effort required
He is so enthusiastic about his passion, economics. He is entertaining and animated. His test are tough but if you listen to his great examples & study you will do just fine. You will not be disappointed because his examples will help you tremendously while entertaining you.
Hartman is an excellent teacher. It is not often these days that you find a teacher that is enthusiastic and passionate about teaching. his priority is the student and it shows! he is a blast- super fun! you can't help but crack up laughing every now and then:-)Hartmen takes teaching seriously-and i
Hartman loves to teach and is excited about everything. He is high strung, but by far the best teacher I have ever had at SFCC. If you need micro or macro, Hartman is the man.
really nice guy. he changed my schedule for me so i could go to a later class and not his 8am class (the only one available). obviously hes really helpful and out to make the students happy. plus he has a sweet rat tail.
very good teacher and very helpful but he's just too hard. its just not worth taking him when you can take a different teacher and get a better grade and still earn the same credit. nobody is going to care later on which teacher you took in college, it's your grade that matters
DIDN'T LIKE THIS CLASS OR HIM..CLASS WAS VERY BORING..HE GOT EXCITED FOR NOTHING AND EXPECTED EVERYONE ELSE TO GET EXCITED. EXAMS ARE HARD...LECTURES WELL THOUGH. HE WAS UNSYMPATHETIC TO PPL'S SITUATIONS (UNLESS HE LIKES U)WOULD NEVER TAKE HIM AGAIN FOR NE CLASS!!!
THE BEST TEACHER AT SFCC! I took Micro over the summer with him. Everyone thought I was crazy for taking the class over the summer. But it was soooooo much Fun!
Hadley is a funny guy and tries to make economics interesting. Has online quizzes, and tests aren't too bad. Attendance matters. Overall, I would recommend him.
Hadley is by far the best lecturer I have witnessed. In order to do well, be prepared to truly learn. The enthusiasm he has when he's teaching really helps in holding my attention. Need to take an econ class? Hadley is your man.
Great teacher! Tests are hard, but study and read the chapters and it shouldn't be too bad. Attendance counts, but you get 2 freebies. Online quizzes really help in understanding the material. You can ask him anything and he will help. He has great enthusiasm and passion for the subject. Will definitely keep your attention. Recommended!
WARNING! He is a Hard Teacher. You will really have to spend sometime with the books.But on the other hand when u get done with this class u ll gain alot of knowledge from it. I mean seriously it has completely changed my prospective abt money and how it works.I got a B but i m happy cos i earned it by sheer hard work. If u work hard u can make a g
This class is not easiy, you must read before lect. However you will learn alot. The online quizes are hard but they give you an incentive to read. He is very helpful and if you have questions he will do all that he can to make you understand. Great teacher, hard class. I got a B
He is a great guy just his tests and quizzes are very tough multiple choice and that is his entire grade. Can be tardy and you just sign the attendance sheet at the end of class(if you are smooth your friend can sign it for you). Although classes are easy to skip out on they are very helpful so go to class and study hard!You must apply economics
From everything I have heard Prof. H is an excellent teacher, but I was very unhappy with his class, he puts trick questions on the tests and quizzes so you cannont get an A on any of them. I studied so much for everything and can probably recite the damn textbook but I got a terrible grade.
This is a tough class and supposedly he is the best ECO teacher at SFCC to take. His class was very hard and I would say 90% of the class has C's, 1 91% and like 2 D's and 2 B's. you can be late you sign a role sheet at the end. His quiz and test questions are very difficult and require a great deal of thinking. Tests and quizzes are difficult.
hadley is a great guy, but the class is tough!! The test and quizzes are tricky!! attendance counts, but you can be late cuz the attendance sheet comes at the end of class. pretty much the whole class has C's.
I loved Prof. H He's a great person inside and out. His tests were difficult. He loves it when you ask questions! He really does help you. So dont be affraid to ask! It is a difficult test, but I apply what I have learned even today to everyday things! He leaves and impression (good one).
Good Teacher, not that great of notes, but they help, quizes online, and they only help your grade! sit in the front i think it helps, and not that bad of a guy, very excitable.
The guy is nuts, but if you can get past the jumping and screaming and whispering you will do ok. The only bad part is that you have to do quizzes online ALL the time. they suck.
Excellent Teacher. Took Macro online and took Micro on campus with him. Tests and quizzes are not too difficult. Typical test bank questions, he is not big into definitions on test, he wants you to actually think and apply what you learned. Has a unique teaching style, easy to understand and helps you along the way. Got A's in both classes!
Awesome teacher. He's really passionate about what he teaches. Always willing to take time to explain wheter it's in or out of class. Definately the best teacher ever.
Hadley's probably the best teacher I've seen. He gives 100% every lecture and makes the material as easy to understand as possible. His tests are pretty hard and you will be required to learn in order to do well. I've never seen a prof so willing to help a student. Really an all-around great guy. Other prof's can learn from him.
This class was taught at an average level by Mr. Hartman. I was dissapointed in his test and quiz questions they could be more relevant and less tricky. I suggest taking Mr. Strickland at SFCC his teaching level far exceeds Mr. Hartmans.
Awesome professor. He loves what he does and it shows. Explains everything really clearly and is super helpfull.
This class is a lot of work but Professor Hartman does a great job at teaching the material. He will always answer a question or give an example if needed. He's just an overall great teacher and nice person.
Very energetic teacher, moves around the room and asks questions from the students. keeps your attention for the entire class period. Tests are difficult, you have to know your definitions and how they apply to the problem.
Prof. Hartman really knows his subject. He is an amazing teacher and always willing to help but his tests are very hard and tricky. You HAVE to study and attend class to get a good grade. I plan on taking him again for Macro!
Hartman is an awesome teacher he explains things very clearly if you don't understand something and he applys things to our everyday life, he makes us feel grown-up. He teaches economics extremely well and i recomend him if you want a great teacher.
Hes out of control. If you take him prepare to teach yourself everything. He admits to trying to trick you on test. He will give you things he never went over. Class is only for answering your questions you have from reading the material not for teaching.
Mr. H is one of the coolest teachers around! The class in itself is hard but if you come to class everyday, read the material on time, and do the online quizzes, there is no reason why you don't pass his class. He has a great sense of humor which makes the class even more fun to be in. If you're taking both macro and micro, Hartman is the guy!
hartman is a great teacher, but the class is hard, not doubt about it. you have to STUDY for tests and all quizzes are takehome so you have to read the book THOROUGHLY. he goes over half of the info which appears on quizzes, but you must learn the rest in order to complete the quiz in time, and then he goes over that info next class. ATTENDANCE
Nice guy and very helpful. Makes the rather boring subject of Macroeconomics interesting as it can be. . .do your online quizes because they help out a lot.
First, He makes Econ harder than it is... Second, his personality is justifiably insane, some people find it amusing...if you take him, at lest you wont get bored!
Hartman is an awesome teacher. I took him for both macro and micro. The class itself is hard but he tries to make it as clear as possible for you. 11 Quizzes online, 3 tests, and a final. If you take notes and study, you'll do fine.
great teacher... got an A.... expect to read the textbook before every class. and also dont worry about sleeping since he will be very loud and hiper... great teaching skills ... recommended for reading students
He is an EXTREMELY good teacher. Even though economics is considered a boring class, I looked forward to his classes. Reading the book is a must though! Be prepared to think in this class!! I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn!
Well, there's always one. I didnt like him as a teacher. He likes bloviating over different stuff, but its his class, I guess. Talks too fast when explaining the material, puts too many graphs on the board for the time that we have. And his exams I feel have too much info.
Great professor. I took him for both macro & micro. I always looked forward to going to his class. Econ is not an easy subject; its not a class for someone just looking to boost their gpa.. for his class you just have to read the material he assigns b4 going to class, do well on the quizzes, participate and study for the exams.
He's an AMAZING prof! I wish I had taken him for Micro as well. His tests are difficult! You really need to know your material! Going to class is essential! And he gives you a grade for that as well. He's great. I would take him again
Atrocious! I wish I could think of something good to say...But I can't. He does not care, remember, or understand you or the material he is teaching. Harmful to your academic learning. Talks in a mess. Simply bad.
He was a very good teacher. He makes the subject interesting. You can only miss 2 classes without losing points, He gave extra C for not missing any days =). Turn your phone off, and give him your full attention, he doesn't take any bull! I had to work very hard but pulled a B+ He is helpful in office hours.E-mails your grade the day after the test
Mr Hartman is awesome! Honestly, I can't imagine a better econ teacher. He's so into his subject that he just made me love economics too. He uses lots of real-world examples, and his lectures are great. The class definitely isn't the easiest, but it's not impossible. Just do the quizzes and study for tests and you'll be fine.
Hardman* is a very hard teacher! Took this last year, and I had to take a "w." Tests are difficult and long. He's a little eccentric during lectures...Quizzes are hard too. Oh he doesn't give you any of the answers to quizzes or tests. Be prepared!
I took this class online. It was required to show up for the midterm and final and I thought Hartman was so funny. I recommond going to his reviews. He is SO into the subject. He also was very helpful explaining things to me when I had a question. This class can be hard because the economics makes no sense but Hartman is a very good teacher.
I'm taking the class online and it is a difficult subject. His format for requiring input each week from each student is very helpful. He responds to EVERYTHING that is posted by the students to clarify whether their understanding of the topic is correct. Great professor!
Mr. Hartmen is Awesome, Yes his class can be slightly difficult at time but he is always there to help you out. I took his class for both ECO classes. Take his class for sure. He's is a great teacher, he really knows what he's talking about.
Professor Hartman is a wonderful and enthusiastic teacher. Santa Fe is lucky to have him. Very clear and helpful.
AMAZING! He lovesss economics and teaches it extremely well. Exams and quizzes are pretty easy, as long as you either read the book or pay attention in class. He is also VERY helpful! TAKE HIM!! I got an A
Good teacher, lectures all period. 3 tests, 10 quizes online
Online. Not an easy class. The midterm and final are 60% of the grade, and held on campus.
I took this online and found it very hard. I put alot of time into studying and still didn't do very well. Wish I would have taken it on campus. Hartman is great though. He did campus reviews for each of the 2 campus exams. He's very enthusiastic about economics. Nice guy.
Overall the class was great! I have an interest in the subject, so my review may seem a little biased. I felt like his instructions were clear and set in stone...sometimes he gets a little worked up/excited about the subject IE talks fast, rambles....but he just loves the material so much that it's hard for him to contain.
Great teacher, but is very hard. Go to class read the book and study hard. He is a very good teacher but a hard class. 3 tests, final, and quizzes are only 10% of your grade.
really animated and in-your-face. makes subject interesting. Good prof. but the class is a little difficult. stay on top of his online quizzes (10% of the grade) he usually neglects to tell you they're due the next class. overall... good prof.
Prof. Hartman is a really great teacher. He makes learning about economics very entertaining because he loves the subject so much. Make sure to take the quizzes and study them for the test and you should do fine. I highly recommend him.
Extremely Good Economics Teacher. Do the work and you will pass this class. The subject is hard, but he makes it sound so much easier.
DO NOT TAKE HIM!!! He is absolutly heartless and a complete spaz. You can never undertand him, and he could care less about his students personally. He is just a jerk. He thinks he is funny, but he's not. And I'm pretty sure he's bipolar. Seriously, save yourself.
WORST CLASS IVE EVER TAKEN AT SANTA FE. he's an absolute joke. The man needs help. Seriously stay away.
Just finished my semester with him and it was beyond horrible. Makes it impossible to pass, gives quizzes on things he never goes over in class. He has the mantality of a 5th grader, you can't help but not take him seriously. I would go as far to say I would rather take this class online through another school than take him again. Stay away.
Hate this guy, he's such a joke and an absolute jerk. Why is he even still teaching?
He is the best teacher in the world. The bad ratings are from studends that did not put the effort. This is a hard subject. Hartman teaches it excellent. He is clear and very helpful. I did exactly what he asked in class and got an A (and I am an ESL student). I will take him again for Macro. He is the best!!!!!!
Really hard class, he does his best to make it where students understand- I took it online and made a B but I would reccomend you take him in person, it gets overwhelming
DO NOT TAKE HIM.. i dont know why people give him such good ratings? I did good in his class, but it was because I had to spend hours teaching myself. No thanks to him, Hes a HORRIBLE teacher, i would never consider taking him again.
Great teacher, entertaining and keeps the class interesting. Relates Economics to the real world. Does not cover everything in class that appears on quizes, but are easily found in the book.
Best teacher ever. Economics is hard no matter who you take it with but if you are the type who likes to know exactly what is expected from you take him. The questions in the tests and quizzes are all from the book or the notes he provide in class. Read the book and you will understand EVERYTHING! Love this teacher.
Took him online for Macroeconomics. There are no lectures, it's very book intensive (as all online classes are). He was very quick to respond to questions through email and discussion boards, this was extremely helpful. Quiz questions are pulled straight from the book. Exams are not easy, but cover material from quizzes and from the book. Had Fun!
Hartman is a great online teacher. He gives you a pretest, quiz, and disscussion every week. Everything is from the book and easy to look up. The midterm is pretty easy, but the final is hard. Take H.H. and you should do well, if you spend the time needed to study.
He has a lot of energy. Economics is a hard class and its a lot of studying, but he makes it pretty clear. I did not think I would end up with an A but I did. There are three tests, a quiz every week online, and a final. Not a ton of busy work, just have to study. Overral I liked him and I think you should take him.
I took an online section and really like how he organizes and runs his course. He was easily approachable with questions.
Nice person and well organized for an online course. If you follow the calendar and do the reading, you will succeed.
Mr. Hartman is one of the most enthusiastic professors I have encountered at SFC. He truly loves Economics; his passion for the topic rubbed off on me and made me enjoy his lectures and even studying for his tests. I am not a great student but Hartman made Econ both interesting and understandable. Great guy, Great professor. I would recommend him.
Mr. Hartman is the best instructor I have had at Santa Fe. He does a great job teaching his economic classes. I took both Micro and Macroeconomics with him and he was awesome. Great teacher! Take him!
Wow! for the couple of semesters I have been on campus I have not seen not one instructor that is as good as Mr. Hartman. He not only teaches great and passionately but he gives you a desire to plug into class discussions that makes you enjoy what you are learning even more. Pick him, you will not be disappointed just follow his guidelines!
Excellent teacher! Very enthusiastic and passionate about teaching. He made a difficult and dull subject very interesting. I highly recommend him for Microeconomics.
I had the unique experience of signing up for his online class... and dropping it.. then taking him in person... I recommend the latter.. He is an amazing teacher... Show up to class and do your quizes (which you can print and bring to class then turn in online after class) and you will get a "b" if not don't expect to do well
Hartman is one of the best professors at SFC. He explains everything perfectly and answers any and all questions. The tests are fair and cover exactly what you go over in class. He does count attendance, but you need to go to class anyway to do well. I got an A. Highly recommended.
Mr. Hartman is the best Econ teacher at SFC! I am not saying that the subject or the class is easy and you will get an A. I worked my butt off and got a B+. But it was well worth it! He teaches you stuff that you can take with you for the rest of your life. If you care anything about actually LEARNING something, then take HARTMAN!!!
HARD! HARD! HARD! I needed Macro for my transfer major and chose Hartman. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful but his class isn't easy. There are 10 quizzes, 3 tests and a cumalitive final at the end. I put in a lot of work and still received a C- but was happy with it! I doubt anyone made an A. I heard his online class is easier.
Mr. Hartman is pretty much THE MAN!! Economics is not the easiest of courses but he makes it as easy as possible. The guy is crystal clear of his expectations up front, very fair, pretty funny, and full of energy. Weekly quizzes on angel, 3 tests, 1 cum. final. TAKE HIM FOR MACRO AND MICRO!!! I did and got B+ and A. never a boring moment in class.
Be prepared to work hard - this is not an easy class, esp. if you are not a business major. He goes fast, but if you need help, he makes himself available. Online quizzes are open book but difficult. Be sure to prepare for tests. Entertaining, but he definitely expects you to understand the material. No slacking if you want a good grade.
Hardest class I have taken at SFC by far. He is knowlegable and so funny which keeps you're attention but makes quizzes due before the entire lesson is given. Can get excited & ramble & sometimes make you feel stupid when asking a question in a way he doesn't understand. Best preparation for a University if you plan on transfering, no easy A's.
Took both Micro and Macro online, great professor. Courses aren't easy but he works with students to help them understand the often complex material. Quizzes are straightforward, tests are more difficult but still very fair. Gives plenty of study materials and very quick responses to emails and discussion posts. Would take again!
Professor Harman is a great professor. He loves his job, and he know economics like it's on the back of his hand.
Professor Hartman is a great teacher. His class is fun and i looked forward to going to it. It was not easy by any means, but he knows what he is talking about and is willing to help wherever he is needed. READ YOUR BOOK STUDY AND TAKE NOTES. don't miss class, you will do great!
Good professor
Love him. Fun and funny, tries to make the info relevant to life. Not easy. He makes quizzes due before the lesson so you read the material and ask questions in class.a almost a straight A student and will be lucky to get a b. All eco classes are similar in difficulty. Come to class. He does give attendance credit
Prof. Hartman is extremely passionate about economics and he knows what he is talking about. He is on point with answers. READ THE BOOK BEFORE HE TEACHES THE LESSON. I wish I would have. Quizzes will be easier if you do so. If you don't want to read the book, you probably shouldn't take Macroeconomics. WONDERFUL TEACHER!
A good teacher if you really want to learn about economics. If you're like me and had no interest in economics, do NOT take this class. It's very difficult. You have to study a lot or you wont pass.
Hadley is one of the funniest prof. I have ever taken at SFC. Very tough class and tests. If you are not reading ALL of the material before class and do poorly on the quizzes then you will not pass this class. He is very knowledgeable and does not make the class boring. Overall tough class great prof.
I love Hartman. He is really funny and animated. He makes economics interesting and tries to engage the class. I never bought the book and got an A, but that's because I did the quizzes before they were do and came to class ready to ask questions. It's a hard class, but definitely the best econ teacher at SF. He is very willing to help you.
Very hard class but Hartman is very helpful. Quizzes are weekly and online, no time limit. Discussions are every week. There is a midterm and final which were very hard. Great professor though, very organized and wants his students to do well.
This was the hardest class I have ever taken at Santa Fe, and Professor Hartman knows and is very up front with the fact that most people will have to work very hard in the class. As long as you go to him for help, he has no issue helping you out. Quizzes and tests are incredibly difficult. Make sure you keep up.
Hartmann is pretty old school. He talks a lot and uses a chalkboard. He's a little emotional when he lectures, but I mean you need charisma to entertain a class full of college kids. The class was pretty difficult, but I skipped class more than I should've. The key is to do well on your quizzes, but you're gonna NEED to read the text book.
I came into Hadley's class with no interest whatsoever in economics. I am now constantly assessing my actions, and the actions of those around me with the information I learned. Read the book, and ask questions if you don't understand. One of the easiest, and most fun classes I have ever had. This man loves teaching and it helped me appreciate econ
Hadley Hartman should not be teaching. He is condescending towards his students. He attempts to demean and humiliate the kids in his class. He's a real piece of work. Avoid this guy's class!!!
By far one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is very funny which keeps you entertained and not bored in his class yet stays on track with teaching, his jokes are usually related to the material. He is passionate about what he teaches and wants everyone to learn. Really great guy and i really recommend. Taking again next semester for micro.
Hartman is a good teacher. He cares about his students and wants them to do well. You will have to work, if you want a good grade. I would recommend taking him if you get the chance.
Professor Hartman did not care for his online students. No help and no notes. It is based on reading the textbook and the tests are very hard. There was over a 20 point curve and people are still failing the class. Do not take him at all and especially online. AWFUL PROFESSOR
Awesome teacher! has a real passion for what he teaches, i love that! Before I took macroeconomics I had zero interest in it, but he teaches in a way where the content is interesting and you actually learn and comprehend. He is NOT an easy A, you do need to work for your grade but it is a class I have most definitely enjoyed. HIGHLY recommend.
One of the best professors I've ever taken. He is funny and makes class interesting while making sure everyone understands the subject. He is very passionate about what he teaches. Class may be hard for some, but if you're good at math and logic it shouldn't be too bad.
Excellent class and great professor. He makes the subject interesting and relevant. Textbook readings are a must to follow this course. Quizzes were hard. Not an easy A class but very enjoyable!
He changed my degree course. Best teacher at Santa Fe, and best in my life. Extremely rigorous, but fair. Quizzes are frequent and hard, so are tests, but they have no trick questions and are straightforward if you attend class and study moderately. Extremely funny and charismatic and you will NEVER fall asleep
One of the best professors I've had.
The subject isnt the easiest- which is out of his control. However, he grades completely unfair. You will work your butt off to get a mediocre grade. Very rude and unhelpful. Dont bother asking a question since he will respond in a rude way and make you feel dumb for even asking. Isnt that the reason why you are a teacher, to help us? Dontdoit!
Rambles during some of his lectures but makes many real life references which make them interesting and a bit more clear. Weekly quizzes are given online but on average only lectures 23 of what's on the quiz. (unless asked questions) MUST READ THE BOOK PRIOR TO CLASS. Enjoys putting people on the spot to test knowledge.
Hartman is such a good teacher. He's the reason I changed my major to Economics. I'm currently at UF and I still remember things he's taught me and use it in my upper level Econ classes.
Crazy guy that gets into teaching. You will love or hate his way of teaching, for me it was entertaining and helpful for learning the material. Class is not the easiest but he tells you what you need to know to pass. You have to read the chapters and work for an A. Attendance is 10% of your grade.
He is very spunky. During our midterm, he shook all the students hands. Exams are on campus (mid & final). Weekly discussion question post, 10 question pretest (2 tries, not timed), 15 question quiz (1 try, not times). He is quick to respond to emails, participates in discussions and listens to students. You NEED the book, but not online access.
Worst Teacher i've ever had at Sante Fe. Took him for Micro the guy is a jack***. What he teaches is far fetched from what is actually on the test. It's almost as if he just made the test 30 minutes before class and googled the questions. His questions are trick questions not material questions . He thinks he's cool and he's not. That is all.
Great teacher, but makes you work for an A. I am almost finished with his summer A course and I have an 88. If you follow along with lectures, read before class, and do well on the quizzes, you should have no problem pulling at LEAST a B. The ones who do poorly with Hadley are the lazy students. He is very helpful and will gladly make thing clear.
Professor Hartman was probably one of the best professors I have ever had. I had him for Micro for Summer A. He is a very inspirational professor but he is also cut-throat. This is a no BS class. You are expected to read the textbook, come to class, and do any work that he assigns. His lectures are VERY interesting and he is a very fair grader!
Quite literally the best professor I have ever had. He is very informative, replies back to you when you email him, and actually cares if you learned the material or not. He expects you to do your work and make an effort, but if you do he will be by your side through the entire class! TAKE HIM FOR SURE! And reading the ebook is a must.
He is a great professor with entertaining lectures. he has you draw graphs along with him while he's lecturing to keep you focused. The learnsmart program he uses is kind of annoying because 10% of your grade is off homework from there, and it comes with the ebook (I am not a fan of ebooks). Other than having to use an ebook I have no complaints.
Pretty funny guy, tests are pretty difficult but if you study and go to class, an A is easy
Professor Hartman is amazing. He has a sort of "Dead Poet Society" thing about him. He is very knowledgeable and he makes economics actually interesting. You have to read before coming to class, for the love of God learn the graphs, and ask questions, he loves to answer questions.
WORSTTTTTT PROFESSORRR EVERRRRRR!!!! he is absolutely not helpful, the activities he demands are useless for the exams and he is very rude.. if you can do NOT take him... trust me, he is the worst.
Hartman is hands down one of my favorite professors. This man made me love studying Econ. Show up to class, do the readings, study for the tests and you're set. Not a phone friendly class but he doesn't mind laptops or tablets. Look forward to taking him again for micro.
The quizzes didn't match the content of the homework and the tests didn't line up with either of them. It was an extremely confusing class. Economics is hard enough without the teacher playing word games. First class I had to withdraw from in two years and that was after taking two of his tests. If you have $ to throw away or time to waste...
Professor Hartman is a great teacher! His lectures are interesting and funny/quirky. Tests are 80% of the final grade (including the final) but he curves all tests to make the average a C which is normally a decent bump. If you study, read and go to class you will do great! Otherwise don't bother.
One quiz a week with 3 test and a final. His test are hard but once you figure out what to study they are easy. Quizzes arnt bad he gives you a week to do it and encourages you to work with other students and most of the answers are online. He has interesting lectures and really loves what he is teaching. So not an easy class but he is very funny.
Very rude. Whenever you ask him a question in class he calls you out and makes you feel stupid in front of everyone You have learn smarts and quizzes due every week online. Completely useless The homework and quizzes have nothing to do with his test His test are very confusing and are all trick questions. Wouldn't recommend this professor to anyone
Professor Hartman is an amazing teacher. He bring enthusiasm and energy into his lectures that really help engage students with the material. He has a love for economics and truly cares about student success. He also makes great use of online learning modules and quizes to maximize student's understanding of difficult concepts.
He's a really good teacher and entheusiastic about economics . Take advantage of his office hours every time you can. He assigns work every week but you have plenty of time to finish them. If you need help on the quizzes, he provides a lot of help in class and in his office. Try not to zone out in class; his lectures are crucial for every test.
Great teacher, pretty funny but also good at getting concepts across effectively.
Stay away from this prof. I regret taking his class after going on here for reviews. Makes exams to confuse students instead of testing on knowledge. Talks way too fast and is all over the place.
Hartman does an okay job at teaching the material but this class is hard. Prepare to get called out in front of the whole class if you get an answer wrong. He really makes you feel stupid if you ask any questions or don't understand something. Homeworks/ quizzes are nothing like the tests. Wouldn't take him again.
Professor Hartman is a great teacher, but not for everyone. You have to be able to pick up things quick, because he teaches at fast paced. He really cares for students and wants them to actually understand the material and apply it in everyday life, not just make a good grade in the class. He likes to make jokes and is quite comical.
There are quizzes and homework assignments every week, you can easily do well on them, but they only count for 10% of your grade. The two exams are worth 60% of your grade and they are nothing like the quizzes or homework you do every week. Tests are confusing and questions aren't clear. Wouldn't take this professor again.
Professor Hartman takes economics, a subject usually not that interesting for many students, and turns it into something politically relevant and interesting. His lectures and clear and concise, and he is more than happy to clarify anything that's confusing. Intellectually honest and non-partisan in field far too often politicized. Highly recommend
Hadley is very good at translating the material to the present. Your grade is strictly composed of the homework, the quizzes and the tests (he curves). A lot of people do the online homework and online quizzes without reading and if you don't read, you won't pass. If you read, show up to class, and actively engage, you will pass.
I think he is a good professor! I just don't like that the quizzes and learn smart assignments are only worth 10%and the final is worth 60%. You will have to work for your grade, the class isn't easy but it's not impossible to pass. GOODLUCK!
To everyone reading this considering whether to take him or not, you definitely should . He tries to show you the real world side of economics. I couldn't believe people said he didn't help or answer questions, he is extremely willing to help students who want help. The tests are the bulk of the class. Not an easy A but a great teacher.
Best lecturer I've ever had. Didn't just stand there reading off facts, he flew around the room making graphs & examples. He went into detail about things, made sure we understood, and really put emotion into it. The way he presented info made it easy to take organized, useful notes. Easy if you pay attention, study, and do Learnsmarts. QuizletMVP
Mr. Hartman was truly the best econ teacher I've ever had. Sure he's a bit of a fast talker, but I'll be damned if I didn't learn a thing or two in his class. His morning classes aren't bad. Just read the book, do the work, and you'll be fine. Take GOOD notes.
Although this was the hardest class I ever took, Professor Hartman was exceptional in providing real-world examples of the concepts being taught. As an on-line student, he invited me to attend on-campus class when I needed visualization of the material. Lectures are amazing & directly relate to readings. Hilarious & unique. Highest recommendation.
Took online, the book is an online book that has quizzes foe each chpter due every week. The Midterm and Finals was not easy, It is not same as the study guide on the online book, It was worded so differently. The highest on the Midterm was a 79. I am currently at C, I have to at least get a 60 on the finals to maintain the C, smh!!!
Really quick to answer emails, usually within hours. He is understanding of personal situations to a point but still expects deadlines to be met. Great resource of information and learning. the features of his course is geared for outside thought.
Overall, Hartman was a good professor. Tests are a little difficult, but he teaches the material efficiently. The quizzes and learn smarts are easy and help prepare for the tests. He loves calling on people to answer questions, so be prepared for the topics before the class. Attendance is a part of the grade as well.
good detailed lectures, if you miss a lecture youll be pretty behind; kind of spazzy guy, always jumping around and making jokes; youll think hes kidding by the way he acts but its really just him; dont do anything the slightest bit disrespectful, hell call you out, and maybe even send you out of the classroom; due date heavy with no makeups
Weekly LearnSmart assignments and quizzes. You also have to post questions in a discussion forum for the week's chapter where it is answered by an "expert," who is a student assigned to that week's chapter to answer everyone else's questions. The exams are considerably more difficult than the other elements of the course.
Uses McGraw Hill guided reading so a lot of what feels like busy work. The midterm and final are two of your biggest grades so make sure you understand the material and you'll do well. Also very responsive when it comes to email, within a few hours.
Mr. Hartman is a nice professor and explains the topics in a really nice and clear nway. However his test are really hard (specially the final, that is 100 questions), you have to study a lot and go to the classes in order to get a good grade. This is a class where you have to be consistent and work hard .
I found that he gave very lackluster feedback and was often kind of rude in correspondences. I would not take his class again and I don't think that anyone else should either. Exams felt more so like they were intended to confuse and there were very few actual assignments.
Microeconomics is a difficult class, but Prof. Hartman makes it harder. First of all, on the first day of class he doesn't give you a syllabus, instead he told the class to go find it online. (this is basically the class in a nutshell) Second, the Learn Smart assignments are very easy compared to his very, very difficult exams.
He is a fast talker and doesn't really go into much detail about topics you have questions on. He made my anxiety rise.
This teacher is passionate about what he is teaching so, when taken in the morning it is difficult to match his energy, but that makes the class more interesting. I took him for micro and will take him again for macro. Attendance is a large part of the grade. Quizzes and textbook are online and they need to be purchased. Requires studying for an A.
I took the class all online. All the material for homework and quizzes was put together by learn smart and the textbook company but then the test was all created by him and there was no guide so nothing matched up. Mid term and final was worth 60% of total grade.
By far the best professor I had at SF. If your major is business, finance or economics you should definitely take his coarse with him.. It will be the best preparation coarse for UF. If you go to class and study for exams, you should get a good grade but most importantly you will understand and dominate the subject for the future.
Very energetic guy that moves around the class. Very funny and blunt! Very specific with word choice. Lecture heavy, yet entertaining. HW was pretty easy, just concentrate with the questions. He can make the wording tricky on purpose. You will have to work. If you have a bad attitude he will trash you and explode. He knows his ECON! Love him!
Deeply understands all aspects of Micro/Macro. Engages his students in lectures. If he sees you slacking off, he won't have it, but I actually like that. Two assignments a week, plus two tests that are worth a significant percentage, but truly if you show up, there's no choice but to pay attention. You will pass if you soak up this USEFUL info.
This class is one you have to be diligent in and make sure to keep up with the work in order to stay on track. Weekly Connect assignment and quiz due, along with a discussion post on the chapter. Prof. Hartman is always willing to help you understand concepts and responds in a timely manner.
The topic is not that hard but he makes it 10x harder. His way of "teaching" is 4 students to know everything based off HW readings & his in class "Lectures" r him talking super fast & mumbling & putting students on the spot 2 answer problems & makes them feel kinda stupid. Plus, the class is SO test heavy that if u fail 1 testProbably receive a C
Very good teacher however, you are graded mainly by 4 tests and they are extremely hard!!!
Fantastic teacher!! He pays attention to what the students are having a hard time with and focuses on that material. Enthusiastic and engaging. He knows how to get through to students who may seem completely lost. Explains things in many ways to help all students understand. And he's hilarious! Cons: No late work, attendance is a grade.
Took his class in 2019. After graduating from UF, I can tell you he is by far the best professor I have ever had. He is very passionate and knowable about econ. Thanks to his class I decided to change for a finance major. If you want to learn take his class, if you want an easy A, look another professor.
