He gets off topic a lot, hard to understand when he makes jokes mid-sentence of him explaining the lesson. He gives a lot of information that will be on the test, but so many notes that make you lose track on what to really study on, one definition is like a paragraph. Tests are 90% written so you have to study. He expects SPECIFIC answers on tests

Professor if you're reading this, please enough with the jokes. some of them are so cringe-worthy. besides, he's nice and caring. He wants specific answers to his exam so your only way out is to memorize everything. smh

He's a very fair professor and knows what he's doing. However, his tests are rather on the difficult side. He wants very specific answers and that's the hardest part, especially since they're 80% short answer. Jokes aren't as bad as people make it seem, but definitely fair and on the difficult side.

Skip class? You won't pass.

Prof Hannum really brings the material to a relatable level. This is the 2nd time I took Macro & I could not believe how easy it was to grasp the material this time around. He throws in a lot of jokes but makes sure that his lectures are easy to digest. He even gives study guides to prepare for tests. TAKE HIS CLASS!

He's a very funny and kind professor. He has his own way of keeping the class engaged by encouraging participation. He gives homework assignments and allows multiple attempts for it so you are sure to get a good grade if you study. His exams are specific so take what you learned and be specific as possible when answering the questions. Have fun!!!!

He is really nice and funny guy. His class didn't make me bored. The class is really interesting because his voice is really sweet. I have a crush on his voice. Also his teaching materials are also good. I take his winter class so it's kind of hard but ok for me. Exams are little bit tricky so make sure you have pay attention on his class.

A GREAT PROFESSOR. He truly cares about everyone and wants everyone to learn. The exams are hard, but you have so many opportunities to go to him for extra help if needed. Very funny and engaging, just pay attention and study and you will do good. Not an easy class but he really helps a lot.

Prof. Hannum was super kind and funny. His lectures can get a little boring and a lot of information is thrown at you all at once. However, he did his best to make his lectures fun. It was hard to understand everything the first time but, he posted external resources if you needed help studying which was helpful. Prepare to study on your own!

The professor writes lots of notes on the board, which helps reinforce the material. Using Unstuckstudy and the required textbook makes this class manageable despite its difficulty.

He's not a helpful professor, he doesn't use slides! He is very old school just paper and chalk board which can be confusing because he writes so much. He mention the average on the test was a 59 and then blame it on us for not studying and trying. When majority of the class or whole class fails its because of the teacher and their teaching!!!!

Lots of homework

VERY old school, no slides! He reads off his paper, chalk board that gets overloaded with words that will make you confused. Enough people complained about him that he sent out email to all of us about his teaching. Midterm he said average was 59… then blames it on us… if a class fails a test it's not on us it's on the teachers style of teaching.
