Comment:

One of the sweetest, most caring professor I've ever had. He's quite lenient with due dates if you have an issue or emergency but I found his lectures slightly difficult to follow. He tended to go off track or spend a lot of time explaining one thing. He's so kind though it makes up for it.

Comment:

Professor Heng is a wonderful and caring prof. Lectures are well structured and he does a good job generating discussion. He encourages students to meet with him outside of class. Staying on top of the weekly readings is required for some of the class discussions. Would highly recommend and consider taking more courses taught by him in the future!

Comment:

I totally recommend Heng's seminars. His lecturing style is a balance between using structured notes and asking thought-provoking questions. He doesn't let you off easily but makes you think for yourself. He's a very helpful prof. who cares about you as a person. He's generous with his time…and books!

Comment:

Professer Heng is informative, but his lectures are difficult to follow if you do not already have background information in the subject. His lectures are methodical and sometimes to his discredit. However, when he engages the class in debate and discussion it becomes much more lively and as he asks more thought provoking questions.

Comment:

He is an awesome professor even though his lecture style seems to be confusing at first you understanding what his taking about. From Heng's lecture, he never disagrees what you say in class. He always tries to feel that the part of class lecture is to critcally evaluate the answer. As a student, I feel that he is a pasionate teacher

Amazing Professor! He is the nicest professor I've had in university so far and he actually cares for his students. He makes you work hard but is always available if you need help. He is very kind however, the course is a bit dry, but his attempt at humor is perfect!! highly recommended professor!! :)

Comment:

If you want a good mark take a course with Prof. Heng... but it's more than that. He is such a nice man and he knows so so much about what he's talking about. He's not always completely clear, but he will help you until you get it for sure. He really listens to people's points of view and encourages people to think for themselves.

prof's challenging but he encourages you think on your own and participate in class discussions. I like the way he answers your questions in class. He never makes you feel dumb and teaches you a great deal about life. His test was tough, though. His one of the friendliest and most patient teachers I've had. I'm going to study more philosophy!

If you dont mind getting assignments back at the end of the year then by all means take this course. Prof. Heng is a very nice man, but i believe the marking in this class is a little rough. The material is dry and sometimes its hard to follow.

Professor Heng is one of the kindest men I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He's sweet, helpful, utterly enthusiastic, and he made the class great. Take a class with him. You'll find someone with a delightful sense of humor, compassion and a love for the subject teaching the class! John Heng's great.
