Reviews of professor Joseph Hartley

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This man loves his job, and he's determined to give every student that comes to his class a taste of what machining is in the industry.  Typically, you will be building an engine.  But this is the easiest and most fun class ever.  Restored my passion for engineering tbh. Go to class early and you may get out before the class starts :)

This was one of the best courses I have taken so far. Joseph Hartley has a huge wealth of knowledge from industry and continues to grow his knowledge and hone his craft. It was an absolute privilege to learn from someone with a lifetime of hands on experience. He explains the concepts exequently and truly understands the content.

The dude is great. Show up to get that A+ and that about all it takes. I have never felt so confident in my ability to push green buttons. Plus, his lectures aren't too bad and incorporate some material sciences and basic programming. I would highly recommend this course to any business major looking to get that A+ and better understand production.

You have to show up so you don't fall behind, but even if you do, Joe will make it so everything is okay. Nicest guy ever, easiest class ever. No stress, fun material, and a super cool project to go with it.

Seriously one of the easiest classes at this school. Throughout the semester you work towards building a small compressed-air engine which is most of your grade. As long as you show up you will get full credit on this for making it. The other part of the grade comes from a few short quizzes and homework assignments. Please take his class.

313 is a great lab by a great guy. All Joe wants is to ensure his students understand the basic concepts of machining while they build a Stirling engine over the course. There are a few homework assignments/tests but they are open note and easy. Show up for your lab and you'll easily pass the class as well as have a great time during it. 10/10

I had a TA for most of my 313 session, but every once in a while Joe would teach the class. He was always nice, funny, and helpful. I've never done machining before, but I could tell that he takes his job very seriously and wants all his students to do well.
