Reviews of professor Heath Giesbrecht

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I was very nervous to take this class during the summer, but I loved it! Professor Giesbrecht weekly motivated the students. I would say that there is a good amount of reading, but as long as you put the work in, you will do great! Your participation matters, and we are graded for that. I would take this class again. Loved it.

Prof put together a very well-laid-out class. Even though, I found myself having difficulty picking up the material, I quickly fell into the groove of things. The videos helped a lot of the material make more sense. Since I plan to make EOD a career, learning more info will be helpful in my future. I took the class in prep for Chem of Explosives.

Initially, I didn't believe I would be able to make it through the course but, I'm glad I toughed it out. I struggled with a few areas in this course, primarily APA citing, which was my biggest challenge. I didn't quite master that aspect however this course has been very helpful, and I hope I can take what I've learned and apply it in the future.

This class has taught me a lot. I have discovered many resources throughout this class that I know will be beneficial in future classes I will have to take. It's been a pleasure having him as a professor as he is very engaged and has encouraging words each week.

It has really been great taking this chemistry class with Prof Heath. I have learned a lot and I will definitely be taking away many new pieces of information with me. The research project has also been really fun and interesting to work on.

I was intimidated when I started as I've never taken any chemistry classes, however, professor guidance, comments, and suggestions from my classmates greatly boosted my confidence. Furthermore, I had fun making my presentation and utilizing the various creations to make my presentation informational and educational.

The assignments are overly complicated and unnecessarily specific. Every assignment feels like a scavenger hunt, searching all over the online class platform to find the attachments, instructions and more. It gives me a head ache. I'm more worried about following instructions for assignments so I get good grades than understanding the content.

I enjoyed being challenged during the course. It really makes it more difficult when I had to figure things out since I can't just ask a question in class. His videos were invaluable. Many professors do not link lectures in their classrooms. He has created personal lectures and directly links them to the specific problems. It was a life saver.
