Reviews of professor Holland Heese

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He was a good professor. I had him for Math 102 and he is a very clear lecturer. Attendance is mandatory for discussions. However, he stopped taking roll halfway through the semester so I don't know now. He provides practice problems prior to your exams which are basically identical, just different equations which is helpful. Overall, easy class!

if you want a 12-problem exam worth 300 points and 40 points per question, be my guest and take Professor Heese. He is absolutely the most ruthless grader I have ever had in my higher education. Do you want pointless math labs for math 102? then sign yourself up for this class. Do not take. Math 102. with Heese.

I would not suggest taking this class with him. You ask for help during class based on a question he did. He will explain in a non helpful way how to do it. There have been times during class where he will get frustrated with students not fully understand the material he is teaching. Get ready for tests where each question is 50 points.

Had this prof for MATH102. Textbook required but barely used or referenced in class. Unclear syllabus- no outline of course, no assignment dates provided, assignments verbally given the week that it is due, gets off topic frequently. I originally signed up for diff. prof after reading reviews, he ended up teaching for the professor I first chose.

Professor Heese, is one of the most unhelpful and downright horrible professors I've ever had, good luck going to office hours as they are held early in the morning for only 50 minutes. He will also speak down to you/ laugh at you when you ask questions in class. He expects everyone to understand everything the second he says it. DO NOT TAKE!!!

Math 102: Heese is patient, has a great attitude and is knowledgeable. Hard to connect, seems novice though since his lecture notes are a bit disorganized, he is not super consistent with grading and posting recorded lectures. Drops some low grades. Excessive amounts of Open Math, weekly quizzes, 3 tests, weekly written homework's. Overall good.

Holland is such a nice and sweet professor in my opinion. However his quizzes and tests are not what you expect from his lectures, so make note of that! There is little to no homework, except for the written hw due on quiz days. Most of the time the work is super easy so the whole class is pretty chill. Overall, I enjoyed this class a lot.

I would avoid taking Heese's 101 or 101T courses, plain and simple. A very kind professor but will almost go out of his way to avoid teaching important topics and subjects. One time in class all of the students had to beg him to explain what he was doing and he just rolled his eyes at us and kept writing. Almost impossible to get a clear answer.
