Comment:

Me. Heimler does not give clear instructions on what he is looking for on papers. He assigns something new every class session, he is very arrogant and talks about himself during class. Constantly says English 1A is offered every semester instead of encouraging students to do better or ask for help they need. He does not keep grades up to date

Comment:

He seems to have a high standard and doesn't like to explain things thoroughly. At first, it seemed like he was willing to help but that wasn't the case during the end.

Comment:

As we all know , there are teachers who are entitled and have a big ego. This teacher is subject to all those components, that may push many on the edge. Although, the work is easy we are not provided with all the course content we need to move on to the next corresponding English class.

Comment:

He doesnt give enough feedback to improve the works done, then when the final work is done he comes and criticize half of the work done, why dont just give the feedback since the beginning? He doesnt teach many things and expect you to know them, or tell you to google it. I have no idea how is he grading the works. Too much work within weeks.

Comment:

Instructor needs to be reevaluated as I believe he is very self-involved and not interested in helping a student succeed. When I reached out for help with an assignment his answer came days later and no information but a question, "did you understand the assisnment?" Hmm... if I did would I have asked you for help? He is condescending & rude

Comment:

I signed up for his online English 1A course without reading this page, and I regret it. His directions are not clear, he is a tough grader and he responds to questions with "If you followed directions, you're fine."... if he responds at all!

Worst academic experience I have ever had. Professor grades unfairly and feedback given is not helpful. He doesn't respond to most questions.

Comment:

I only took his online class and it was the worst experience. He assumes you know his expectations on how he wants you to write your papers. He grades very hard. When I asked why I got a certain grade on my paper, he did not reply for days and when he did, he never told me why.

Absolutely the worst professor. Forces students to text him for participation, doesn't have a clear rubric and grades very unfairly. Avoid at all costs.

Comment:

Mr. Heimler is a very clear teacher. He explains himself quite well and often adds personal stories to help illustrate his point. The lectures are easy to follow if you come to every class. If you actually do the homework as assigned the "pop" quizzes are very easy to pass. The homework usually isn't very hard but sometimes can be time intensive.

Comment:

This class was absolutely horrible. The amount of assignments were manageable, however it did not make up for the lack of help from the professor. When he graded assignments, I got no feedback whatsoever and then when I asked for help, his replies were vague and not helpful in the slightest. Do not take this class even if it is your last option.

Comment:

I'm currently a high school student taking this class over the summer so I didn't have to deal with it during my senior year but little did I know I was going to deal with a teacher who gave poor directions and gave little to no feedback on every assignment. Emailing and texting him led to no avail on my questions being answered. Not recommended.

Comment:

This professor was the worst professor I have ever had. He literally gave me an F for one mistake, rather than helping me. I failed his course, after getting As and Bs, and a couple Cs. He is not a fair grader at all. He added content to the class last minute. He never really responded with much information that could help you, just a critic.

This class has helped me to grow with my writing skills. I learned a lot and I truly appreciated this class. He is a great instructor. Just remember why you are in school and that reason is to learn. If your honest with yourself and have the desire for greatness then take this class. If you do your work you will get an A.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HIM. No matter what choices you have, no matter if classes are filled and he's the last one left, do not take him. Worst professors on this planet. I'm quite usually hard on myself and side with teacher's prospectives when it comes to tougher grading, but I don't know how this person became a professor. Arrogant, cocky and unorganized.

Comment:

STAY AWAY from this teacher. He is the worst teacher I've ever had in my life. He does not teach you one single thing. He is incredibly vague with his instructions and feedback on assignments. Even when you ask for clarification he will reply: read the instruction carefully. I've never seen a teacher refuse to explain things.

It starts off good but then the class and assignments take a turn for the worst. He gives random grades & when you ask for feedback either he doesn't respond or his response is vague with replies such you didn't follow task. Even when given the opportunity to write a research paper on your choosen career. He says that it is off topic and fails you

I have been a straight A student for a year in college. I decided to take professor Heimler's class online and it was the worst experience ever. He is incredibly vague with his assignments and even more vague with his feedback on those assignments. After doing my first essay the response he gave was "I don't think you understood the assignment."

He is a good instructor and teaches a very good method for completing a research paper. It cut the time I used to spend on research papers in half and still get a good paper. You will benefit from this in other classes where research papers are required.

Comment:

This class was relatively easy. All you have to do is read the books and write a small essay using quotes. There are two extra credit essay's in addition, so six if you do them all. The only thing that wasn't clear was the reading notes. You will earn your grade. If you don't like reading & analyzing then find someone else for your easy A.
