This guy is awesome. Took him as many times as I could because his classes were so laid back, yet interesting. Genuinely a really nice and funny dude, doesn't care if you miss class as long as you submit the essays by the end of the semester. Highly recommend!

Comment:

Assignments for his class included four 3-4 page essays, each of which were summaries of specific longer essays in the textbook. There was no mid-term, and the final was take home; two 3-4 page papers. Your entire grade for his class will be based on those 6 essays/papers, no attendance or participation grade of any kind. Would take him again.

Professor Hartzell is one of my favorite professors at BCC. He's very friendly, easy to talk to, and MOST importantly, very understanding! I wish he taught more courses at BCC. I would definitely recommend him and I would definitely take him again!!

Professor Hartzell is a hilarious guy who starts every class with a joke. Took him at 9 am for a summer course and everyone was always tired but he always had the class involved. The class consists of 4 essays that can be handed in up to the last day. The only bad thing is how expensive the textbook was but necessary for the essays.

Easy class and the guy is hilarious, but he doesn't teach that much during the course. Only graded on papers, that are easily graded, just boring to write. If he is going to be all the way easy and cancel class every other week, he should give multiple choice tests.

Comment:

The workload for Professor Hartzell's class was extremely light. There wasn't any in class work; the grades relied pretty much on homework alone. His teaching was clear. He often spent the first fifteen minutes of every class making jokes, he was a fun teacher but definitely not someone I would recommend if you're interested in a rigorous course.

Mr. Hartzell is by far my favorite professor. I barely every payed attention in his class. Papers had little to do with what the class lecture was about. no test. 1 paper during the course 1 final project and the final paper is 2 at home 2 page papers. He is hilarious. One class he didn't teach at all just told us jokes. Classes are about an hour.

Easy class, great professor. He's really chill and understanding that we have lives outside of class. Took him in Summer 3 session - four 2-3 page papers and a take-home final exam that was a choice of 2 questions of a set to be 3-4 pages for each question. Take his class if you can - you won't regret it!

Amazing class. Wrote many papers but they were based on the textbook readings so if you read the text, you got a good grade. His lectures were funny and interesting. Loved having him and would recommend to anyone taking a history class.

Took him for 135, 136 and 137. Literally the only history professor you should take at Brookdale. End of story.

Comment:

Funniest, laid back professor here. Even eliminated some assignments throughout the year, but it was a back-end heavy class. The Final is 2 essays, 3-4 pages each, that's fine. Then he added this obnoxious ABC Book PowerPoint Project I hated, with an extra 4-5 essay about that! Take him for everything but this Recent American Class.

Good choice, decently easy work and he's super funny. I would recommend you take Professor Hartzell if you need to take American History because he's just such a good teacher and will keep you involved and paying attention throughout the entirety of the class. Also, in my experience, he always cut class an hour earlier than it was scheduled.

Comment:

Truly the most laidback professor you could possibly find. Hes hilarious, down to earth, & extremely entertaining. Going to his classes felt like just going to hang out. Theres no homework or tests, just three papers make up your grade. Hes extremely lenient with late stuff, just talk to him & be honest. If you show him respect, he shows it back.
