Comment:

He makes you do a new chapter every single class, we have gone through nearly our whole textbook. His slides are useless, everything you need to know comes out of his mouth and good luck writing it all down. Our class averages on exams were 60-65%. His exams were bull bull. I would never take another class with him ever again.

Comment:

Probably one of the best professors at Franklin & Marshall college. He is an exceptionally hard grader and his tests are almost impossible. However, if you study the material he gives you in minutiae you will get an A in his class. He has amazing stories and is the gem of Hackman.

Best professor I ever had, and I was a social sciences major. His passion for the subject and ability to explain things clearly made lectures and labs highly enjoyable. Sense of humor made field trips quite an experience.

I didn't get a very high grade in his Geology class, but it was nonetheless one of my favorite courses at F&M. Coming from a business major, that says a lot. His passion for the subject is contagious.

A great guy with a hilarious personality. Knows what he's talking about all the time, and can explain everything in very interesting and informative ways. His classes are hard, but they're doable, and you learn a lot every day from him.
