Super funny and amazing. He was accepting of late work and gave clear, good feedback on all work. The quizzes and exams were things we talked about in class (besides some written opinion pieces) which made it easy because he posted all of the slides online.Rate My Professors ↗
Great prof and an even better guy. He is so passionate about the subject matter and communicates course material very well. Attendance is not mandatory, however, I rarely skipped because I genuinely looked forward to his class every week. I highly recommend this class!!! Especially if you are a humanities major looking to fill a nat sci credit!Rate My Professors ↗
Scott is AMAZING! He cares about the content and the students. The lectures are well structured and the midterm overviews are thorough and very useful. The exams are very fair and the readings are actually interesting. Would take again!Rate My Professors ↗
Didn't take this class for a needed credit, but for fun! And honestly, this was my favorite class and professor. The final was SUPER easy (he literally gave us sooo many points by giving us the answers). He is superrrr funny, lectures are easy to follow along, he never complicated anything, and he the coursework is super light! Would def recommendRate My Professors ↗
Scott Hartman makes every lecture genuinely enjoyable to where you forget you're in a lecture. My class was small, so it felt more like a conversation among friends. Take. His. Class.Rate My Professors ↗
This is my second class with Dr. Hartman and he is just as amazing as I remember. Truthfully, this class is HARD and requires a lot of work in and outside of class (especially lab), but Scott will do everything he can to help you along the way. Genuinely the most passionate, hilarious, and inspiring instructor I've had, TAKE HIS COURSES!!Rate My Professors ↗
