Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
great Professor, you could tell he enjoys what he teaches which is almost everything a student could ask for.

Dr. Heller is a great guy who cares about his students, but he is far from a good professor. Your grade is made up of attendance and exams, and the exams are extremely hard and are not multiple-choice. Dr. Heller's lectures are very boring and hard to follow. I would avoid this class and any of Dr. Heller's classes at all costs!

Professor Heller is a very nice guy, but his ability to teach information in a clear way is somewhat lacking. His powerpoint slides are somewhat helpful, but he gives no study guide and his tests are always 100% harder than his in-class examples. His tests are also VERY long and I found myself rushing towards the end, causing me to lose points.

Heller is an excellent professor and provides all the tools and information needed to pass this class. There is no textbook required but there are occasional reading or video assignments outside of class. Heller allows "cheat" sheets for the exams which is a huge help.

 I've come to appreciate Dr. Heller. He's super kind and attempts to add humor to all his lectures, which can be hard considering this class was an 8am. I originally struggled in his class in terms of testing, because his tests are LONG. But if you don't understand something, he's not the type of person to get frustrated or annoyed.

Heller is a great guy and passionate about what he does. With that said, he is probably the worst professor I have ever had. Refuses to utilize feedback from students and 70% of what he lectures about is not in the tests. No study guide or homework. The grade is only from participation and tests. I would avoid taking his classes if you can.

Dr. Heller is a wonderful professor, but genetics is hard. If you don't get the grade you were expecting, don't take it personally. He is very approachable and will do his best to make sure his students understand the lectures. You will have to study a lot.

i dont think hes very good at teaching. i have to teach myself most of the content and even then i still struggle. lab quizzes are never consistent and neither is teaching style. lectures are difficult to follow
