Reviews of professor Laura Heller

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Teaches as if she's trying to beat down recruits. I was excited to learn & understand IR. Every other course I had was amazing & the professors were everything. She made me want to hate it. I'm all about working my A off & receiving constructive criticism; but there's a line between helpful & deeming/ condescending. She's a mile past.

SO much reading and discussions were far more than 'participation' assignments. Can be rude and make you feel like you did an awful job on something you worked extremely hard on.

Terrible interaction with students. Her ego is infused in her grading policy. Is very strict on citation yet does not know proper citation herself. Uses only one textbook to propose theories but does not offer any insight on the topics herself. Got no constructive feedback. Would not recommend.

Absolutely loved Dr. H. There is a lot of reading so get ready to buckle down and really read the concepts, but overall an amazing class with no textbook requirement. Highly recommend the course in an in person-environment as it would allow for better conversations and discussions.

Seriously, get ready to read.

Professor Heller is by far one of the worst professors I have ever had PERIOD. She has no clear or concise instruction on how or what she wants for expectations. Despite all this she still makes her courses unclear, unachievable to accomplish, and belittles/makes you feel essentially dumb for your work. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR-

Professor Heller teaches as if shes teaching a military course. Teachers like Prof Heller are the reason students dont like school; grades are the only thing that matter. No constructive feedback & she is awfully rude & quite arrogant. Either look for another professors or look for another course. Wouldnt recommend.

She gives very little feed back. She doesn't explain what she is looking for or she changes the criteria one day before the assignment is due. if I knew what I knew now I would not take her class and currently looking for other classes that she isn't teaching.

Luckily this is the last class I will take at Northeastern. Ruined all the wonderful experiences with the other professors I had. Her grading rubrics make no sense and will arbitrarily give you 0s if she deems your citation is not sufficient.
