Reviews of professor Heather Sweeney

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Sweeney is very knowledgeable and this was a fairly interesting course on empathy and poetry. The class definitely takes some effort in terms of reading and comprehension. A majority of classes were discussion based but as long as you share something each time you get full credit for participation.

Sweeney is a nice professor, but I probably wouldn't take the class again. It was more work than most of my classes and was structured off of discussions and essays. You read a book on empathy, as well as poems and articles. There are 3 main essays and a big one as the final. Wasn't a bad class but I got tired of sharing how I practice empathy.

Since the first day its homework. You need your book. "If you use your phone or laptop without consent I will mark you absent." You will write four papers of five to seven pages in length for this course. Many tedious writing assignments and other random exercises from the book. If you love writing and reading a lot then you're more suited for this

I recommend taking Prof. Sweeney's class, she lays out each and every step of the papers and helps you throughout. She is very sweet and doesn't make you feel very stressed. You will have 4 total papers, and each is clearly explained as to what she wants in each paragraph. She gives extra credit for going to the writing center.

Prof. Sweeney really wants you to succeed and she clearly tells you what she wants. You have to go to class for participation and to better understand the essays. Homework almost everyday but if you dont mind writing it's not bad at all. Easy A if you're a decent writer and do your work. I enjoy class, learned alot. Shes super sweet & understanding

Heather is very helpful and has really helped improve my writing. She lays out all assignments step by step. Very easy to get credit if you follow her directions. does not take attendance but it is important to go to understand assignments. essays are done in increments so it is not very hard at all. i recommend this class if you want to improve

This is an honors class on the topic of empathy, and tbh it got pretty boring. All you do is read and write a response, and she doesn't really tell you why she gives you the grade she does. I got A-'s on them but she didn't really explain why she took of so many points. Every class you do discussions, but you don't really need to read (I didn't)
