Hartmann's lectures are slightly boring and you don't need to ever attend them- all recorded. He is a nice guy but exams are so much more challenging than homework or discussion worksheets. Hard to get an A

Had Hartmann for life science chem. He was very chill and helpful outside of class, too. Got an A with my AP chem knowledge and little to no studying outside of class (doing the hw was enough). Super easy class and super fun professor.

for genchem 2, lecture was organized and exams weren't completely unreasonable. But, I don't feel like he's great at explaining why concepts are the way they are or connecting them to previous ideas. I felt like I had to teach myself a lot of that
