Reviews of professor Andrew Vanden Heuvel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took survey of Astronomy with Heuvel and it was one of the most fun experiences I have ever had in school. He is a fun, passionate professor and his class has a good balance of simulations, videos, and readings. Great class, very easy, and I would take him again in the future!

Took this class for a 3 week semester and was tough. Cool dude but heavy videos, reading isn't too bad and gives unlimited chances. If you arent good at math and or science then good luck.

This professor is really a nice guy and the class was easy too. Most of the material was actually interesting and you can tell that he takes a lot of time to put the material together. Most of the questions on quizzes are on quizlet. If you have to message him he is a good guy and knows that people make mistakes. One of the best online teachers.

This is the greatest professor of all time. I wish he was my father.

Great professor! He explains things very clearly, but some of the quiz questions are hard to find in the lecture readings/videos. A typical week is 3-4 hours of material to read over then a practice quiz, and then a quiz. A test is every few weeks. The math is not hard to do. Great class!

This class is well organized, simply stay on schedule and you will be fine. There are a few discussions, a decent amount of practice quizzes and module quizzes in which you can retake if needed. The teacher videos were very helpful, and the readings werent bad. This class was very chill compared to most others. I learned a lot from this class.

I loved this professor and his course. I am not very good with math or science related subjects, but he made everything more understandable and had me confident with solving complicated equations! Astronomy is a great beginner science class for those easing back into school.

Very passionate about his work and that translates into his teaching. Gives great demonstrations and explanations. The way he explains things makes you want to learn about them. He cares about conveying information in a digestible way to the student and makes for a great inspiration.

Andrew is awesome! He really cares about each student's success and the class is super fun! I only selected test heavy because you do have tests every week. Spoiler alert: They are very easy.

Overall really great professor & you can tell he really loves astronomy. There was a decent amount of reading & note taking, which is normal for an online class. There was quite a bit of math as well which could get overwhelming, but he includes example videos on the formulas which made it really simple. Very interesting class & I learned a lot.
