Comment:

I took Professor Heinsmas Econ 201 class, so the format was the same for Econ 202. I also took the shorter class, which has a faster pace with two chapters of discussions and exams. I knew what I was getting into, so just stay on top of things and read and you will do well. Exams are multiple attempt, which is a plus! Great class and teacher!

I took the summer online class, so the pace is a bit faster. If you stay on top of the weekly discussions, reading and assignments you will get a good grade. This class is no walk in the park, but Professor Heinsma, makes it easy to understand. Hes helpful and understanding. Great teacher and great class!

Dewey Heinsma is a fantastic teacher. Highly recommend, he makes you laugh every morning. Do the hw and quizes with a friend if you want to score high.. otherwise read the book well and ask him if you have questions. 1 big project at the end of both semesters. Just follow examples and it's easy. Didn't have to take either final and got 2 A's.

My favorite teacher so far! He's very personable and lively. We take notes in class and have online homework and test due at the end of the week. He gives 3 chances for test and 1.5 hr time limit. It's a very routine class. You could skip, but econ is easier to understand with someone like him explaining using reasonable terms. I HEAVILY recommend

Hate his style of teaching, mostly bulletpoint notes (not much notes even) with the occassional handout. The quizzes can be pretty difficult even though its online.

Homework assignments are due every week. Lots of reading but if you study, you'll do well. Econ is tough already but he does everything possible to make it a painless subject to learn. He is understanding and willing to work with you if you need it! He is really passionate about his lectures and has funny ways to make the lectures more interesting

Dewey is a great professor who actually inspired me to change my major from finance to economics. Economics is not always a fun or easy subject for most, but professor Heinsma does a great job at making sure everyone understands the material that is presented. Show up to class, do the work, you will pass with no issues, and even learn something.

This is a teacher who is both more knowledgeable and passionate about their field than any other teacher I have taken at MSJC. You have to do an assignment every week, but it is plainly laid out for you, and he happily answers all homework questions.

Great lecturer but heavy online homework with weekly assessments and video quizzes along with a homework assignment, class is more difficult than I thought it would be I would not recommend taking if you don't have to.

I didn't know what to expect for Macroeconomic class, but I'm glad I chose Professor Heinsma as a teacher. If the class isn't getting a concept he'll stop and explain it until everyone gets it. Homework and quizzes are both online. Questions are anywhere between 7-10 for hw, and 25 for the quiz per week. I can't wait for his micro class.

I enjoyed this class. There is a discussion board, Cengagebrain assingment and a quiz every week. Not hard at all if you read the text book that is provided on the cengagebrain. Make sure you do all the work and you will pass with an A.

I took Heinsma for Econ 201 online. If you do the Cengage homework assignments, which can be a pain at times, you will have no problem passing the weekly tests. Heinsma has students do weekly discussions which, I think, grades on an easier scale. As long as you understand the Econ concepts you will pass the class. I would retake him again!

Prof Heinsma was very helpful and his online class is pretty clear and understandable. I took both of his Econ 201 and 202 classes online. He responds fairly quickly when you have a question. Weekly discussion, HW assignment, and test with one chapter to read each week. If you are interested in this subject, you wont mind the read.

He kept class fun and light. I barely opened my book the whole semester, his lectures are great. Pay attention in class and you should pass just fine. Assigns a problem set in cengage and a quiz in blackboard every week per chapter to do at home. no midterm or final but a final was listed on syllabus. I intend to take him again for 201 in the Fall

Professor Heinsma is awesome! Responds to emails fairly quickly and is pretty clear on what needs to be done each week. Have a question or don't understand something, he is there to help! One chapter a week, one HW assigment a week,a 25 question test a week and one discussion a week,gives 3 attempts on the tests. Will be having him for Econ202!

His classes are really engaging and fun and he makes it very easy to understand. Work load is completely tolerable and all online. He also allows you 3 attempts at your online exams. If you pay attention, it's easy to get an A in this class.
