Reviews of professor Philip Heise

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I've heard good things about his in-person classes, but his online class was mediocre at best. The tests are taken from the quizzes, but the questions you get on the quizzes are randomly generated-- meaning that you could take the quizzes 20 times and still not see all of the questions. The textbook is free online, but it's a disorganized mess.

He is a great lecturer. Class is fun and I learnt alot. However, this class is so hard. I spent an entire week studying non stop for exams, and barely got an A. Sure, an A is good, but this class basically became my full time job and wasn't worth the effort. I would go to UWF for this course - would be far easier.

Dr.Heise was great for gen bio. Tests are exactly like the lectures. You have to make sure you take good notes and study. He drops the lowest test grade, can be the final.

Dr. Heise was amazing! He made lectures really funny and easy to follow along, and his class was easy to pass because his tests went directly from his lectures. As long as you took notes, which were displayed right on the slides with the important terms highlighted, you would be good.

All his tests are trick questions. He gives 4 lessons per chapter and lessons include around 40 different topics. 160 topics to memorize when a test has 60 questions. its impossible to study for a test. take a different class if you need a lab or science credit. the textbook is a mess the tests are worded horribly. you'll be lucky to pass with a c.

Save yourself. He only offers quizzes and exams. 4 exams a semester and 4 quizzes a month. It drops your grade horribly. Please take another professor. I would have a 3.9 if this class wasn't weighing down my GPA. The exams are ridiculously hard and you're recorded while you take them.
