Comment:

While this class is VERY easy, she is impossible to access. She is not consistent in posting modules, and will rarely respond to emails. I recommend the class for its easiness, but not the professor.

Highly recommend her class. As someone who is terrible at any and all science subjects, I did very well in the course. You get a 100% on almost all assignments, as long as you complete them. Exams aren't too tough.

Comment:

I honestly don't know how this woman is a teacher, her class is very easy, if you turn in a paper then you get 100%. The problem is she doesn't help at all, she checks her email hardly ever, she might be illiterate and is so unclear in answering questions that it is quite astounding actually. If you can get another teacher do it.

Comment:

Opens up modules on random days, so you never know when. Then gives you 3 days to do them, but admits it can take a long time for her to email you back. So it's useless to ask questions, you don't have enough time. Slow to grade things. Sometimes never answers your emails/questions. Doesn't teach you anything.

Comment:

Worst online class I have ever taken and worse professor I have ever had. I'm still waiting after weeks and weeks of my assignments being graded. Does not respond to emails! The exams are way too hard and full of trick questions. She does not help you at all.Tells you to go read about subject on a few websites. I could have learned better on my own

Comment:

I took this class online Fall 2012. It's an introductory PHY class, but the work load/ type of work is more akin to a 300-level course. She assigns a TON of work. Often you don't get the full week to finish it. There are many ways to contact her, but she is VERY slow via email. Basically, avoid this online class unless you are a masochist.

Comment:

I am taking the online course & am extremely frustrated by the lack of structure & consistency. Not everything is listed on syllabus & dates/times are not consistent between syllabus & assignment listing. Posts assignments on a whim without regard to allowing adequate time for completion. Wish I saw rating of Sep 2011 before enrolling! TERRIBLE!!!

Comment:

I love Physics and took it online to avoid sitting through a class. However, she's a disaster of a teacher. The instructions are vague, she's MIA on email for days at a time, and is sending nasty-grams when people are late, because they cannot find all the parts of the assignment. I'll never take another class from her again.

Comment:

I took online Astronomy and Space Physics from Professor Heath and I would definitely recommend her. The weekly quizzes you can take as many times as you want to get the 100%. There was alot of writing assignments that were hard but since they were online you could do it anytime. Easy class for people who like online classes! TAKE THIS PROF!!!

Comment:

Web based course with in class exams, which were open note and book. As long as you complete your assignments throughly and put some effort into the class you'll most likely do well. Sarah was a good professor and made the web page and assignments clear and defined quite well. Read the book and do the assignments.

I took this class as a web-based course during the summer and loved it! As a web-based course the learning is pretty much up to you, but Prof. Heath is really good about responding to emails plus her evaluations are really easy as long as you do the work!

Comment:

Does not respond to e-mails and does not help you out at all. You are on your own. Makes promises and does not keep them. It takes her weeks to grade assignments, does not give useful feedback, and is never there when you need help. Stay clear!
