Comment:

Deeply understands all aspects of Micro/Macro. Engages his students in lectures. If he sees you slacking off, he won't have it, but I actually like that. Two assignments a week, plus two tests that are worth a significant percentage, but truly if you show up, there's no choice but to pay attention. You will pass if you soak up this USEFUL info.

Comment:

Very energetic guy that moves around the class. Very funny and blunt! Very specific with word choice. Lecture heavy, yet entertaining. HW was pretty easy, just concentrate with the questions. He can make the wording tricky on purpose. You will have to work. If you have a bad attitude he will trash you and explode. He knows his ECON! Love him!

Comment:

By far the best professor I had at SF. If your major is business, finance or economics you should definitely take his coarse with him.. It will be the best preparation coarse for UF. If you go to class and study for exams, you should get a good grade but most importantly you will understand and dominate the subject for the future.

I took the class all online. All the material for homework and quizzes was put together by learn smart and the textbook company but then the test was all created by him and there was no guide so nothing matched up. Mid term and final was worth 60% of total grade.

Comment:

This teacher is passionate about what he is teaching so, when taken in the morning it is difficult to match his energy, but that makes the class more interesting. I took him for micro and will take him again for macro. Attendance is a large part of the grade. Quizzes and textbook are online and they need to be purchased. Requires studying for an A.

He is a fast talker and doesn't really go into much detail about topics you have questions on. He made my anxiety rise.

Comment:

Microeconomics is a difficult class, but Prof. Hartman makes it harder. First of all, on the first day of class he doesn't give you a syllabus, instead he told the class to go find it online. (this is basically the class in a nutshell) Second, the Learn Smart assignments are very easy compared to his very, very difficult exams.

I found that he gave very lackluster feedback and was often kind of rude in correspondences. I would not take his class again and I don't think that anyone else should either. Exams felt more so like they were intended to confuse and there were very few actual assignments.

Comment:

Mr. Hartman is a nice professor and explains the topics in a really nice and clear nway. However his test are really hard (specially the final, that is 100 questions), you have to study a lot and go to the classes in order to get a good grade. This is a class where you have to be consistent and work hard .

Uses McGraw Hill guided reading so a lot of what feels like busy work. The midterm and final are two of your biggest grades so make sure you understand the material and you'll do well. Also very responsive when it comes to email, within a few hours.

Comment:

Weekly LearnSmart assignments and quizzes. You also have to post questions in a discussion forum for the week's chapter where it is answered by an "expert," who is a student assigned to that week's chapter to answer everyone else's questions. The exams are considerably more difficult than the other elements of the course.

good detailed lectures, if you miss a lecture youll be pretty behind; kind of spazzy guy, always jumping around and making jokes; youll think hes kidding by the way he acts but its really just him; dont do anything the slightest bit disrespectful, hell call you out, and maybe even send you out of the classroom; due date heavy with no makeups

Overall, Hartman was a good professor. Tests are a little difficult, but he teaches the material efficiently. The quizzes and learn smarts are easy and help prepare for the tests. He loves calling on people to answer questions, so be prepared for the topics before the class. Attendance is a part of the grade as well.

Really quick to answer emails, usually within hours. He is understanding of personal situations to a point but still expects deadlines to be met. Great resource of information and learning. the features of his course is geared for outside thought.

Took online, the book is an online book that has quizzes foe each chpter due every week. The Midterm and Finals was not easy, It is not same as the study guide on the online book, It was worded so differently. The highest on the Midterm was a 79. I am currently at C, I have to at least get a 60 on the finals to maintain the C, smh!!!

Comment:

Although this was the hardest class I ever took, Professor Hartman was exceptional in providing real-world examples of the concepts being taught. As an on-line student, he invited me to attend on-campus class when I needed visualization of the material. Lectures are amazing & directly relate to readings. Hilarious & unique. Highest recommendation.

Mr. Hartman was truly the best econ teacher I've ever had. Sure he's a bit of a fast talker, but I'll be damned if I didn't learn a thing or two in his class. His morning classes aren't bad. Just read the book, do the work, and you'll be fine. Take GOOD notes.

Best lecturer I've ever had. Didn't just stand there reading off facts, he flew around the room making graphs & examples. He went into detail about things, made sure we understood, and really put emotion into it. The way he presented info made it easy to take organized, useful notes. Easy if you pay attention, study, and do Learnsmarts. QuizletMVP

To everyone reading this considering whether to take him or not, you definitely should . He tries to show you the real world side of economics. I couldn't believe people said he didn't help or answer questions, he is extremely willing to help students who want help. The tests are the bulk of the class. Not an easy A but a great teacher.

I think he is a good professor! I just don't like that the quizzes and learn smart assignments are only worth 10%and the final is worth 60%. You will have to work for your grade, the class isn't easy but it's not impossible to pass. GOODLUCK!
