Reviews of professor Karyn Heavner

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The course was converted from in-person to an online-only format. She would post a 1-2 page outline that obviously was meant to accompany a lecture, but there was no lecture component. HW and tests were graded very late. Largely unresponsive to email. I ended up teaching myself difficult concepts by looking up videos on youtube. Would not recommend

She is a skilled and talented professor who understands and explains tough material extremely well, knowing how students can easily misunderstand hard concepts. Will take another class from her again. Great teacher!

Dr.Heavner is extremely knowledgeable . Taken multiple classes with her through undergrad and graduate level classes. She's very accommodating and will always walk you through your confusions or difficulties. The only negative thing I can say is grading feedback isn't as prompt as you'd probably like but a great instructor nonetheless.

Homework assignments are hard but are related to classwork. She is super nice but its hard to reach her by email to ask about clarifying assignments. If you're looking for a statistics class this is the one.

If she thoroughly explained assignments, both of her classes would be so, so much more tolerable. Everyone attends office hours and talks to the professor & TA before AND after class, not because the material is extremely difficult, but because directions are just never clear. It's not uncommon getting into groups & nobody knows what to do.
