Reviews of professor James Heyland

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Heyland is a very dry professor.  That being said, his class was well structured and easy enough to follow along.  The homework is super easy and group project assignments aren't too bad.  However, the one thing that was off-putting, was the semester project which is mandatory project work with a charity which eats up a lot of time.

Does not have clear expectations, instructions, or a rubric on writing assignments. Says one thing in class about what the writing assignment should contain. But when it comes down to grading the assignment, he suddenly changed his expectations on what the assignment should contain.

There is homework, quiz, and discussion posts due every Monday night. The course itself isn't hard but there are math problems involved and the professor doesn't go over how to solve them. The professor talks about irrelevant topics during class which gets frustrating. Overall wouldn't take a class with this professor again.

huge semester long project using a program that you'll never use in your career, hands down the most pointless project I've done. Super monotone and lecture heavy sounds like hes putting himself to sleep with his own voice. quiz every week with huge final at the end. Going to this class with this professor is dreadful, choose someone else.

Excellent format to learn the material. Great textbook selection. Enjoyed the weekly discussion board format of the class. Highly recommend.

Jim is knowledgeable in the area he teaches. Unfortunately, the material is less than thrilling and very few will actually use it in the future. The group project is challenging, but is fun. There is quite a bit of homework which gives you a change to earn a good grade if you keep up with it and get it correct. An A is achievable with effort.

Professor Heyland gives inadequate resources needed to complete assignment and provides little guidance to those looking for help. Be prepared to put in more work than necessary to get an A in this class.

I took a class at Harper College NET 201.
No direction, outdated readings, lack of communication and guidance. Easy class, but I didn't learn a thing due to how outdated and pointless all the content is.
