Reviews of professor Dean Heerwagen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Most terrible experience I had in a class. He creates a terrible atmosphere, doesnt encourage conversation and just mumbles whatever is on the slides. He also has a terrible memory and honestly, I'd rather jump under the train than take a class with him again.

I took his Designing for a Changing Climate class and he's the sleepiest professor ever. There is no class engagement and he just lectures the entire time. The topic sounded cool, but the information is dated and quite shallow.

Took his ARCH436 Building Acoustic class. The class was quite tedious, and the professor was quite The class did not take attendance and the entire class was based on two projects and the grading system isn't very clear. Also, the professor has a bad memory, our group received a bad grade because he thought our group didn't do our presentation.

Biophilic Design: one of the most boring, skippable classes Ive ever taken. taught this class with his wife and they had a multitude of tech problems and expressed not caring to fix them. Class is just 3 hours straight of lectures and you're graded on only 2 projects. no engagement with the class. kinda like a repetitive, stumbling, bad podcast

AVOID THIS CLASS. I was originally really excited to learn about biophilic design, but Dean made this class so unbearable. His lectures are boring (just reads off of slideshows), there's zero engagement with the class, and he's extremely harsh at grading. You're better off learning this topic on your own than wasting your time with this class.
