Comment:

Nice lady but her powerpoints can be confusing if you don't pay attention and take detailed notes. She has study guides for the exams but they're not that helpful. You're better off just studying the powerpoints and your notes. Asks a handful of questions on exams about things she has never talked about. Textbook not needed. Exams are curved.

Comment:

Make sure you take lots of notes because most of the things that are on the tests are thing she's said off the powerpoint. With that said, Dr. Heath is great, funny, and has a lot of interesting stories to tell which she connects back to the lecture. An A is most definitely possible if you show up to class and work. Didn't use the textbook at all.

Her class material is interesting and you learn a lot but be aware that you must be very liberal politically to pass.

Comment:

Go to class and you will pass and most likely get an A. Just make sure you answer the essay question completely (don't overthink) and you should be fine. Readings are assigned but she goes over most of the big topics so it is not necessary.

She definitely wants you to do well in her class and gives you every opportunity to get a good grade. She goes off on tangents a lot, but they were usually interesting/ relevant. 10/10

For PAX there are several books for the class including one that you read for a book discussion type project. Dr. Heath is super nice and really funny, goes on quite a few tangents but her class is easy. You watch a lot of videos and have some reflection journals, but besides that there were two papers and a final with no other exams.

Dr. Heath is one of the best on campus. She's funny and has great stories relating to the course. Her lectures are all on Sakai, so it makes it easy to follow during class, but also nice if you can't attend class, you know what you're missing.

Quirky and loves her work. One of the funniest ladies I've ever met She assigns a novel which takes up a good amount of the semester. MUST READ IT. Tests are easy if you read the study guide and power points. Incredibly interesting lectures. Very helpful at office hours.

Great professor, three exams all multiple choice (gives study guides for the exams) she is so funny and very easy, as long as you do the assignments you get 100% on them. She has a lot of background in the law, she has very good stories!! Take her you will not regret it!!!!!

Dr. Heath is a great professor. She gives exams that is relevant to what is taught and gives real world examples. She makes statements that will make you laugh and that helps you remember it for the exam. I would take a course again from her.

Psych & Law isn't an easy course, but Dr. Heath makes it fun with hear easy-to-understand PowerPoints and real-world experiences, lectures, and funny statements. She offers a field trip to the courthouse and the jail, which is also a plus. Lots of reading, but the majority of test items are from class. You can get an A if you study. Take her!

She's a riot. Funniest woman ever. Her lectures are interesting and she knows exactly what she's talking about. The reading isn't too bad, but if you skip lecture you're missing a lot. The tests are half reading half lecture. The videos are crazy interesting. And they take a field trip to a Chicago courtroomjail. Overall cool class.

I took this class because I needed a psych course and no other ones fit into my schedule. I would definitely take another course with Dr. Heath because she is a very good teacher. While her lectures are long, she keeps it interesting with stories and jokes. It is more about law however if you are interested in the psych field.

Comment:

Heath is a great professor, she uses real world examples in her lectures to make it more understandable and is always willing to explain things after class if you didn't understand in the lecture. Might get bored if not interested in CJS. Went to class and took good notes, barely looked at study guide and spent minimal time studying and got an A.

Please take Dr. Heath! The subject matter is super interesting, she's hilarious, and it's not difficult to do well if you put in the effort. She's super sweet and I would totally recommend her!

Horrible teacher. The only class I've ever taken in my life that I had trouble staying awake in every single class. Boring Powerpoints filled with common sense information, and plenty of random stories about her children thrown in. That being said, class is very easy. No point in even going other than for midterm, final, and group presentation.

Comment:

Professor Heath is NOT A GOOD TEACHER. Her classes are boring and all she does is ramble and go off dumb tangents that have nothing to do with what we are actually meant to learn. On the plus side, we do watch a lot of movies.

One of my easiest classes of the semester. No papers, easy exams, and a short weekly journal. Material was pretty interesting and just studying the power points got me an A

Comment:

Attendance worth 10%, so kind of mandatory. She was not all that knowledgeable about the law aspect of this class, but it was a fun class, and she was very interesting. The class was never boring. Exams aren't the easiest but they're curved and all multiple choice. Take if you're interested in psychology, not so much if you're interested in law.

Comment:

Dr. Heath has a really funny personality and is very laid-back. However, I don't feel much was learned in the class because she spent more time talking about stories then on the material itself. The power points never really explained certain terms (it just listed them) & the exams asked a fair amount of questions that were not on the study guide.
