Reviews of professor Karyn Heavner

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I would have given Kayrn 5 stars, but she doesn't provide much feedback on the homework assignments. You can tell she wants everyone to succeed and she is the goddess of partial credit on her exams. If you show up to class, do practice problems from the book and from lecture, you will do great!

Talented and gifted teacher who explains difficult concepts very well to students. Will take her again!

Professor Heavner is one of the best professors I've had at UML. She is caring and is more than willing to help students outside of class. Her grading criteria is a little tough, but you will learn so much in her courses. I cannot recommend her enough. Love you Karyn

She does not give feedback so you will not know your grade until the end of the semester and she gives weekly quizzes on textbook material. Her lecture is boring and she either comes in late or cancels the class. Overall easy class but did not learn much.

If you need to take Biostatistics, then take the online 10 week version over the summer. There's only 10 HW assignments, a project, and 4 quizzes she grades and they're all very easy as long as you watch the videos she puts out. The coursework is very manageable but don't expect feedback or assignments to be graded within a timely manner.

Dr. Hevener is a smart woman and very knowledgeable; she is also understanding and sweet; however, her class feels disorganized and like high school. The organization is not the issue because all of it is complex and related to the public health field, but she does a lot of group work in and out of class. She is also a harsh  grader

She is slow at giving feedback and she never answers emails. also, there is no textbook for her class and the website that is used in place of a book is useless

She does a lot of group projects for class. It's very difficult to get a 100 for them, because she will dock points off for aesthetic or grammar. Her quizzes aren't too bad, but it is both multiple choices and showing your work. However, she is difficult to get a hold of outside of class. She may not respond to emails and her office hours are busy.
