Reviews of professor Jonathon Heidt

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Such unnecessary hard exams!! If the class average on exams is only 50-60% then there is something wrong with the teaching style!! He doesn't give you much help on what you should especially study for the exam. I went to every single class and still found the exams so difficult and the questions are so confusing. There is 1 paper as well.

I do not recommend. He is very rude and not understanding if you go to him with a problem or want an extension. He will help you if you email him and put effort in. He wants you to write weekly short papers which become very annoying with a busy schedule especially since they are only worth 3 marks. 2 exams and 1 paper. Exams have no study guide.

While the lectures were enjoyable and engaging, I would not recommend taking Professors Heidt's class again. He is very unapproachable, a tough grader, and may be defensive when challenged or corrected upon his work. Calm and and collective is not his style, it's his way or the highway. When I asked for feedback he just told me how to study better.

Jonathon seems to base his exams on readings, lecture and videos. so you have to do a lot to do good on his exams. We had to do one paper for this class and he marks It very hard with no consideration of the fact that we were all first year students and if you go talk to him about it he gets very defensive about it. VERY HARD MARKER

Class expectations are absolutely absurd. dropping his class the first week because im not putting myself through an essay a week. He expects 3 pages every single week "to stay engaged" worth 25% of the grade. Brags about how he gives 0's on them "all the time". Final essay is between two choices of questions. AVOID!

Jonathon is a great prof. He has an awkward/funny sense of humour in his powerpoints which shows how he tries to make a theory class enjoyable for everyone. He encorporates really interesting videos into his lectures as well. He marks tests hard but there is no presentation in the class. Overall, he is awesome!

Jon is a good professor. His lectures are very engaging and on point. But he does not post his slides on Blackboard. Also, his exams are tough, but if you attend class, pay attention, and do the reading, you will be fine. He brags about how hard his exams are and how very few students get As.
