Reviews of professor Edward Helfers

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Nice professor, but way too many assignments. It felt like high school with project after project. He's caring and gives extensions, but for a core class, it wasn't very easy.

Professor Helfers is probably my favorite professor at AU so far. He's very accessible outside of class and cares for his students. He's a tough grader but if you put in the work for your essays, you should succeed. He is amazing when it comes to feedback on drafts and provides plenty of opportunities for additional feedback outside of that.

The papers are to be taken very seriously because they carry a lot of your grade. He is so nice though and always willing to help -- the class is additionally very interesting! I loved Urban Planning and he is a very good professor.

Prof. Helfers is genuinely the sweetest man and cares about his students. He gives amazing feedback on every graded assignment (especially drafts), as the easier ones are completion grades. Clear instructions on assignments and very accessible. His lectures are well put together and usually quite interesting. He's very kind, absolutely love him.

Prof Helfers is a very tough grader, but if you put in effort, it will pay off. There are readings and writing assignments due every class, which is expected. I hate writing, but he actually made me want to put in hard work and I became a much better writer. Lastly, he gives incredibly detailed feedback. It helps so much to get a better grade.

Professor Helfers drastically improved my writing over the course of this semester. His class is engaging and full of information that will actually better your writing. He doesn't give As, but his class is worth it.

Highly recommend this class. Content was super interesting, and the assignments were challenging but doable. Prof is accessible outside class and definitely strict with grading but you will succeed as long as you put in effort.

He's a great professor and his class is fun, but it's probably the most work intensive class I've ever taken. It's assignment after assignment with what feels like no breaks, and most of them were fairly labor intensive. He's really into workshops so be prepared to share your work with at least two other people for each assignment.
