I LOVED Laudien. Every class is different. Shes super smart, definitely cares about students and tells you how to be successful in the class. Reading is important and she will call on you in class but thats college. No cellphones in class EVER. Very funny and kind.

Nice woman, becomes a bit tangential during lectures (usually political rants), but ultimately is well versed in what she teaches and is a pleasure to have as a teacher.

Comment:

Heidi made her course "Masterworks of British Literature" one of the most enjoyable courses of my undergrad career. The class had only eight students, and 5 were engineers (including me). With that in mind, Heidi ran the class in a non-traditional way and really had fun with it. The discussions are always great in her classes. Participate!

Laudien is amazing at what she does, she is great in a classroom setting. The work is NEVER boring and neither is class because she always finds ways to incorporate current events or stories into her lesson. You will love coming to class everyday. TAKE HER !

I had her for English 323 Brit Lit chicks. The course is hard but she makes it interesting and relatable. She is funny, pretty, smart and nice. If you do the work you will do well in the class. She helped me a lot with my final paper--I think I showed her five drafts but she didn't mind. Always go to class prepared.

I just took her English 260 Comedy and Tragedy class and loved it. I never thought about art or literature before this course and now I'm really into it. She is down to earth and loves teaching. You need to do the work though and participation is important. She helped me become a stronger writer and critical thinker--Thanks Laudien!

She is an amazing professor. She is so unpredictable and makes the class so interesting. Even outside class she is fun and helpful. She makes the best edits to drafts and will guide you through writing a paper. Her tests aren't too hard if you listen in class and read the books. For every play that has a video she will stream it to make it easier.

I decided to switch my major because of this woman. She's very funny and smart. Even though the course material was dry, she made it interesting. I went to her office hours constantly and I think that's why I did so well in the course. Am taking her again in the fall.

Comment:

This was by far my favorite class at MC. She's the only real professor on campus and easy on the eyes. She's a little intimidating at first but its clear she cares about students. Made me think and work hard but it was worth it. I.D.'s on tests are hard.

Comment:

She was a great teacher! She was very passionate and she made the material relate to our world and our problems. She always made us laugh but the reading is crucial. Her tests may be tricky but if you take notes and read you will get a good grade. Participation is key also. She is also kind of crazy- but in a good way

Comment:

One of my first professors at Manhattan College and I absolutely adored her. I recommend her to anyone who has to take LLRN 102. I am by no means an exceptional student but I made it through her class. She expects you to read and participate. She is funny and delightful. Always ready to help. I definitely recommend her.

I really like Laudien. She's real, smart and funny. I've been to her office hours four times and she always helps me. I think I might be a nag but she hasn't said. She's a hard grader but I think it's working. She has a very cute kid 2
