A great guy. He really tries very hard at what he does and it made it worth going to class early in the morning. The material for the class is relatively elementary and he tries VERY hard to make it fun by adding comics and jokes to his lecture. A very nice guy to talk to and quite educated in chemistry. I'd definitely give him a shot, I liked him.

Has some good demoenstrations in class, to keep you awake, but he has a low level of confidence in what he is teaching. If I had a choice I would of taken Kautz or Powers. This is because Dr. Hartung doesn't as good of job preparing you for the test. Very nice guy though.

Did cool experiments often, tries hard, I used his office hours a few times and that was helpful. Print off the slides/notes before class! During Chemjam sessions before tests, I liked Prof Kautz's style better, but it was helpful to go to both sessions because they're so different.

He's a good teacher. He uses powerpoints which are nice makes it easy to study and follow along.

I really liked Dr. Hartung. He was a fun, extremely nice guy who loved to teach chemistry. If you don't understand something, just read the sections in the book. They are the EXACT same concepts but just explains it slower and with more detail.

I learned a lot from Hartung. I thought he taught the concepts well and he used fun examples every once in a while to keep us interested. He was an all-around nice guy and helpful when students needed clarification.

Dr. Hartung is a decent professor. He moves through the material fairly quickly, which is sometimes difficult to follow. However, working the practice problems helps cement the material.

Professor Hartung knows his stuff. However,he is not good at explaining things. If I had not known a lot of the material before coming to class, I would not have gotten the good grade I did. But if you do have questions, he is very nice and willing to help.

Dr. Hartung is a great professor, who is always willing you help you! He wants his students to succeed. He is a very nice guy, who knows lots of chemistry!

He is a very nice guy who always encourages students to ask for help. I think he prepared the class very well for tests. He did go through concepts and problems very quickly in lecture, but if you take the initiative to look over the problems after lecture and re work them on your own, you'll be fine.

Awesome guy! I was scared when I'd heard some people say he sucks but the truth is he gives you EVERYTHING you need to succeed. He covered all the topics very well for a basic class like Chem 109. I would recommend him if you are a better Powerpoint learner.

His lectures are clear and he gives you the powerpoints with blanks to fill in. The class itself is hard, but his lectures will give you what you need.

Great professor, answered questions, cares about students, did fun experiments in class. Definitely recommended him. Had the highest class average on every exam.

very easy to follow give great notes

Really hard class. He is a nice guy though, very helpful if you ask for help, and he included cool experiments in class. The class was a lot of work though.

Awesome professor, great guy. Wish I could have him for upper level chemistry. Does a ton of practice questions... Comes in handy for exam

Prof. Hartung was ok. However I learn better by listening/ observing which is hard to do for his class because you have fill in the blank power points and he goes fast. His notes also make the subject matter seem harder than what it really is. But he is helpful and his examples are great references. I found it easier to skim the book before class.

I took CHEM 109 and 110 with Dr. Hartung. He provides fill in the blank notes that make it easy to follow along. He also does a lot of practice questions that are really helpful on the exams. However, I do not recommend going to his exam review sessions. I found that going to Dr. Kautz's reviews were more helpful.

Great teacher. He does go very quickly during class, but he provides a lot of examples and explains them in depth. He is very helpful and always answers questions.

Very good professor. But, he does go very fast in Lecture, so be prepared. Otherwise, he loves to help his students and wants everybody to do well in understanding the material.

Low key chillest prof in the whole Chem department.

SO chill, and so smart. He's great.

Lectures are boring.. he is extremely monotone. Makes it hard to pay attention.

Print the powerpoints off and then follow along in class and you'll be fine. The tests can be tough, but study more than the night prior and you'll do just fine (the class average isn't supposed to be an A anyways). Plenty of opportunity to boost grade beyond tests. Not an incredibly difficult class in my opinion.

Hartung is a really nice guy and very helpful if you go to his office hours. However his lectures are not very helpful. He just reads from the powerpoint and goes through the material very quickly. He teaches new concepts like a summary. Reading the book is essential to passing the class and understanding new concepts.

His lectures were very helpful and they went right along with the class, he played 80's music before class a good portion of the time which was kind of cool.

I thought Dr. Hurtung did a really nice job of teaching the class. He was clear, helpful, and even funny at times.

I have read all of these opinions about Hartung, but I must say I have had a really great experience with him in both general and organic chemistry lecture AND lab. I can understand what is being said negatively, but the questions that he goes over in class are EXACTLY what you will see on the tests. GO TO CLASS and he works through them all.

He goes through lectures quickly, but gives you the PowerPoint to fill in so the pace is manageable. You will get through all the information before the test which is a huge help. He isn't too boring, but also not the most entertaining. He does have a sense of humor which does make the class a lot better.

Richard Hartung was a very average professor. He was old and sweet. He taught the material with powerpoints very average guy

Dr. Hartung is extremely kind and always accommodating. Labs take the full time and are 2x a week, and the reports themselves take several hours, so this class is a lot of work. But all in all, it wasn't that hard and the final was pretty simple. Hartung genuinely cares about his students and their success.

Hartung is a very good lecturer who takes the time to show demonstations, work through practice problems, and answer questions.

As long as you listen to the lecture and spend some time outside of class studying, you will pass his class. He's very approachable if you have questions.

Hartung is a decent professor but sometimes slips up in his examples which can be somewhat confusing. As long as you attend lecture and do the homework you should be good to go for the test.

I liked Richard's lecture times. He does fun demonstrations and he teaches well for the exam. Sometimes, his handwriting can be difficult to read.

Professor Hartung is a great lecturer. He does sometimes just read off the slides but he takes his time to go through each practice problem individually. At the end of each class, he is very accessible to ask questions and very understanding.

Professor Hartung can be hit-or-miss, but with the right approach, you can succeed. Attend lectures, do the homework, and supplement with resources like unstuck study - it helped me prepare for tests. The grading system can be tricky, so stay on top of it.
