Wouldn't take again

Professor Hartman really made me work for my C-. I really studied for the tests and I do not believe I ever made higher than a C, if I was lucky. A lot of work for an elective course. I will give credit where it's due though, she is a nice professor and will work with you as long as you are making an effort in her course.

Didn't imagine an intro class to be so much reading. I am glad this is my major. Prof did tell us there would be reading. Not a huge fan of online class, she did an ok job keeping me entertained. She surely takes her job serious and is willing to assist.

Took online course over summer, it was great. Book not used at all. She makes lecture videos watch them at double the speedd. If youre interested in the CJ system you wll be good. Videos are on interesting subjects. Shes helpful if you need her.

She cares about students and makes effort to engage with them. IMO gives a lot of busy work and there were a lot of material for the exams. Not a bad professor or class overall, Hartman makes taped lecture interesting and interactive. If you're there to learn and pay attention, you will be fine and will learn.

Does not let you see what questions you got wrong on the quizzes or exams and gives no study guide so you are basically screwed. The questions she asks are very specific but not important enough for you to remember sometimes. It felt like she did it on purpose. Do not take in summer!

I'll start this review by telling you not to take this professor over the summer. She's a very tough grader and will knock off points for small mistakes. Tests are worth the most points and she does nothing to help you prepare. I took this class as an elective and I recommend anyone else in my position to look somewhere else.

Dr. H is one of the best professors I've had at uncc. Recorded lectures are engaging & not boring like others. She is willing to help, cares about her students. You can tell she is very passionate about her work. Take her, you will not regret it but don't think it will be like TV shows. I am definitely going to take her again, i learned alot.

My favorite prof at uncc. She knows her stuff & checks in to makes sure that the class is getting the material. The tests make up a large portion of your grade, but also have written assignments and quizzes in case tests aren't your thing. It was in summer so things went fast but not that fast if you did your work you can stay on top of things.

Prof Hartman is very engaging and knowledgeable on the information in the Foundations course. Great class tho grade is based on the 4 tests/quizzes, so you need to keep up with the work. I met with Prof Hartman via zoom a couple of times. She was super helpful in the class, and with career paths in CJS too. I will take another class from her.

without a doubt THE best prof at charlotte. the gender, race& justice class was so eye opening. the other people in the class were also amazing. The prof created a class for all to ask questions. I can't tell you how much this class has really impacted how I think about the world now. there are a lot of books, but they were all pretty solid reads.

Prof Hartmanis engaging and knowledgeable on the topic, Gender, Race & Justie. Great teacher, class should be required for all CJ majors. All of the books where pretty amazing. Best part was being encouraged to ask questions about race, gender issues that I would never bring up in another class. Class changed by mind on a lot of things. Take it!

Took as summer class because I need class for my major. Don't like onine classes, but she made it ok. I guess. Prob would have given more stars if we were in person. Online did let me keep my job, so I did like this option. A few tests, but you drop worse one. Some writings but have had worse graders. I do like she gives written feedback.

It took a bit for me to engage with Professor Hartman, but once I did I like her style. She is a good teacher who is VERY passionate about equal justice for all, especially marginalized communities. Goes over American histroy of how we got to today in the US. Also learned about masculinity and patriarchy. Online course w lots of content but was ok.

Prof Hartman is engaging and knowledgeable. While the class has a lot of work, she provides helpful feedback. I found Unstuck AI and the free textbook to be great study aids alongside the lectures. Overall, a challenging but rewarding course.

I'm sure Hartman is great, but she should NOT be holding online classes. All semester, it seemed she had no idea how to operate Canvas without constant typos, miscommunications, and unclear instructions. It is VERY reading-heavy, and there are several written assignments; I've been told she doesn't require this of in-person sections, though

The best professor in the CJUS Major. Incredibly helpful to all students. Class was organizes really easy to understand but still was challenging. I liked I could discuss things in more depth than other classes. I can recommend to go to the lectures there is participation grade and make note cards for exams. You will learn life long stuff.
