Reviews of professor Heath Giesbrecht

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The pace of this course was completely manageable and I did not feel stressed or overwhelmed in completing the assignments. I liked the flow of the course project how it was a weekly flow that built upon each lesson over a few weeks it didn't feel as overwhelming.

I highly recommend watching all the embedded videos Prof has throughout the lessons. He goes in depth for a lot of the topics. I would also say to take your time when working through the problems when you are completing your discussion boards. Formatting the question and answers in a way to make it easy for others to understand is a big plus.

I was scared of this course. Prof's videos were a huge help and when you finally understand what you're doing, it wasn't so bad. I also learned so much from reading through the discussions and problems worked out every week. I'm happy to say chemistry wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be thanks to Prof Heath and the layout of his course!

The professor was little to no help. You can tell when given a response or feedback on a grade he uses AI to respond and when grading he will use the same response for multiple grades or students (classmates talk). He will take off points for things that aren't incorporated into the rubrics.

What I truly enjoyed about this class was the reading and prep work needed to progress through each week. Every week was an expansion of the last. The quizzes forced me to study or at the very least review the previous topics. The videos definitely helped a lot, and the amount of information given to us on a week-to-week basis was nice.

This course flew by extremely fast. Out of all the AMU courses I have taken (all were excellent), I learned the most from this one. Additionally, this course was extremely well ran and organized. I appreciate Professor Heath's continuous interactions and resources with the class, which really helped facilitate a successful learning environment.

Overall, the professor is an extremely difficult grader and provides little instruction on the topic. I would not recommend taking him unless you are a natural at chemistry and ca study the material without assistance.

The instructor provides so many great resources that you need to utilize. Get ahead of learning the subject matter early on in the week. The internet, YouTube, and other great online resources also explain things differently so don't be afraid to research outside resources that can help you think about things differently.

I very much enjoyed the class as scared as I was to take it. It was very intimidating, but he made it a level playing field with the videos that helped so much. Now Sodium Chloride was a very interesting mineral to learn. There's so many uses for it and I have a huge appreciation for it.
