Grade is based on two papers and three exams. Professor Hart truly cares about his students, and his lectures are always interesting. I would take him again in a heartbeat!

His lectures are interesting, quick-paced, and cover everything you need to know. The grade is based on three exams and two papers, but if you know the content then it's nothing to stress about. He is not accessible outside of class, but there are multiple TAs who are. He cares about his students putting in work and doing well.

I loved going to this class! Was face-to-face this semester, lectures were still uploaded online after, but I loved the class so much i went to all of them. Lectures were super interesting and exams are challenging, but not too bad. Includes 2 papers, but i also really liked writing those. 10/10 would recommend

One of the worst professors Ive ever had at UA. You better make an A on the only 5 things that make up your grade or you wont pass. His lectures do not match his tests at all. If you have text anxiety like me then you can throw the class out the window.

Dr. Harts lectures are very easy to understand and even funny. He does an amazing job giving examples that relate to our everyday life. He posts each lecture on blackboard so attendance is not mandatory. Take notes, skim over the book, and youll have an A!

One of my favorites and definitely the funniest prof I've had at UA. Attendance is imperative for your success in the class but his lectures are very enjoyable. This class also has a lot of valuable information for daily life. Do yourself a favor and take Dr. Hart's class!

Dr. Hart is a very smart professor. He makes sure there are no distractions in his classroom as he makes students put away all electronics and write their notes. He is funny and interesting to watch and listen to... However, I think I will be getting a B or B- in this course because it is basically only 3 tests worth 40 points and 2 papers worth 5.

Dr. Hart's lectures are nothing like his exams and three exams determine your whole grade. I had to take a make-up exam and it was the hardest test I have ever taken and did not indicate my abilities in any way. Was extremely rude when explaining the circumstances that caused me to miss the exam. Awful human being .

I would not take him again. Hes just a rude human being. He also will take 5 points off ur letter grade if he sees a laptop or phone out (every single time). Never happened to me, but I feel like thats over the top. Tests were always iffy and he didnt explain things well. Hes Not understanding at all. Dont take him.

Hated him. His tests didnt make any sense even after studying my ass off days in advance. He doesnt care to give extra credit opportunities especially for those who need to make up for poor exam scores. He was rude and didnt seem to care about his students.

Your grade is determined by 3 exams and 2 papers. He offers one extra credit assignment. Handwritten notes only. Dont let that scare you though. Hes funny and gives great lectures.

great class, great information. I enjoyed the class but cannot STAND this grading system. very simple and understandable content, but you must be a good test taker. the tests weren't absolutely horrible, but the smallest failure will hurt you. very frustrating when you attend every lecture with detailed notes.

Do not take this class. He is a terrible professor and honestly doesn't care about his students. He is funny during lectures, but that is about it for him. The tests are insanely hard for no reason and count for the majority of your grade. I studied for two weeks and still did terrible. Waste of a class.

It's unfortunate because I was really excited to take this class and based off of the first few lectures I thought this would be an amazing class. The grading system is just not fair whatsoever. I did ok on the first test, but as soon as I got my grade back for the second test, I knew I'd have to drop, and I couldn't do anything. Very upsetting.

Amazing professor and amazing lectures. The ones who say his class is horrible are most likely the ones who don't put in the work and just want an easy grade. Grade is completely determined by how much effort you truly put into it. If you listen and study, you will do good.

Professor Hart told everyone at the beginning of the year exactly what we have to do in order to get an A in this class and he told us how we only have a limited amount of points in the class. If you listen to him and buckle down to get good grades on the few assignments, you will be good. The people that do not like him did not listen to him.

Dr. Hart used the entirety of the lecture time, but it was necessary as everything from the lectures is included in the 3 tests that make up 180/190 course points. If you actually listen to the lectures and study for tests you will do well.

I loved him. Super charismatic and made class so fun and interesting. There are very few grades, and the 3 tests are most of your grade; but if you take notes in class (or watch the recorded lectures on Blackboard), you will do just fine. I learned a lot of interesting things and will miss this class. Textbook wasn't too necessary.
