Reviews of professor Catherine Heilferty

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I honestly love Cathy. Her classes are rough because they are three hour lectures but that seems to be the norm these days. Cathy really cares about her students and is a great help with clearing up any confusion during office hours. I would definitely recommend getting to know her because it will help set you up for success. Class one big proj.

Dr. Heilferty is genuinely one of the sweetest professors at UD, but that does NOT make her a good professor. The biggest problem is that she DOESN'T TEACH! Her powerpoints are next to useless, she doesn't explain class material, lectures are a waste of time, and exams are difficult. Textbook has countless mistakes and is difficult to understand.

This prof cares about her students and is so friendly and sweet. Class could get boring, but she does go over assignments, which was helpful. Expensive mandatory textbook to take the 2 "exams," but those were open-note and easy. Other than that, there were just a few homework assignments and a group presentation.

I love Dr. Heilferty. She truly cares about her students and takes the time to get to know you. Her class is a reasonable amount of work but if you need help she is always available and happy to assist. She is a very good professor, her lectures are always clearly outlined and there is very rarely anything confusing.

Took it during the summer and it was a good class. In-class meetings are interesting + engaging and help you understand the material. Super sweet ever interaction I had with her, I would definitely take Heilferty again

Dr. Heilferty was one of the worst professors I have ever had at UD. She was unwilling to answer emails in an appropriate amount of time and wouldn't even answer the questions asked when she did respond. Every lecture was pointless because she would go on a long tangent about nothing. Textbook was inaccurate. Tests were hard.

Professor Heilferty was great as a person. She encouraged us to advocate for ourself and our future patients and her lectures were engaging. Exams were based on 3-5 chapters & the book teaches you everything. PrepU on CoursePoint is a HUGE help for studying. Downsides: She was disorganized with due dates and was slow to respond to emails.

Heilferty is a really sweet professor who tries to get to know her students even in such a big class. The course is made up of a few easy textbook quizzes and a final group project which you just have to finish to do well on. The lectures can be a little boring but overall a really easy class.
