I have Heidi in my Crim 1100 in KPU, and she is an absolutely amazing prof you can ever come across. her lectures are so engaging and let the class discuss serial killers and theories which makes learning about Crim so fascinating. the tests are easy and NO surprise questions on the exam or any random pop quiz. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!

I took 3 courses with Heidi, all of which I really enjoyed. She is very passionate about her content, which makes her lectures one of a kind. Her courses shaped my perspective of certain topics that I may have been less open minded about. I would highly recommend her for any course she offers.

Comment:

Heidi is overall a great prof. Classes were super laid back and the material was interesting. The course breakdown consisted of 2 exams (30% each), participation (15%) and the presentation/paper (25%). It's pretty easy to do well in her class as the exams are MC/T or F and she gives the written in advance. She was also very funny! I recommend.

Comment:

I can say she is one of the best professors ever. Even though I usually take courses of popular professors, she is just so perfect. She is so merciful for every student and passionate for what she is doing. I was especially impressive of her attitude on treating international students. She will just wait you and try her best to listen to you.

Comment:

Heidi is simply an amazing professor who clearly is passionate about the content as well as inspiring her students. Lecture slides are a bit packed with information which may not always be needed. However, she has clear grading criteria and will be specific on what you should know for exam. Lot's of guest speakers, will often quiz based off these.

The best teacher I have had at Douglas! She is a fair marker, she cares about her students and their success. She loves what she is teaching and she shows it. She gives you real life experiences which anybody entering the Crim field should be opened too. She is an incredible teacher. Highly recommend taking her class

Heidi is an extremely accessible and easy-going professor. I took both crim 2252 and crim 4410 with her, and she is an absolute gem. She will help you if you ask for it and even if you put in minimal effort, you will pass. But I suggest to talk to her about papers, it will really help your mark.

Passionate about what she teaches! Great experience in all the classes i've had with her. You have to work somewhat hard but she's very fair. Highly recommend 4410 - great field experience as well as discussions! Plus take a field school if you can!

I thought Heidi Currie was by far the best teacher I have had at Douglas thus far. When she says she wants you to succeed, this is a true statement. Her classes were laid back and she talks you through portions of the exams to ensure you do well. Would definitely recommend her.

Comment:

I found Heidi to be a bit unorganized as her lectures would tip over to one topic and stay there for the remainder of the class. She does post lecture notes online. Also, provides you with all the short answer questions a week before the midterm and the exam. She is a funny professor and does not mark the essay hard.

I absolutely loved Heidi. She gives you the written questions on her tests before hand so you can actually figure out the answers and actually do good on her test. Her tests are easy and very straight forward if you attend class and actually take notes. Would definitely recommend taking her to boost your GPA.

I took this class with Heidi on a recommendation. I do not regret it at all, not only am I learning about the importance of the academic style of freedom but how to carry this into my practice. If you want a caring compassionate instructor who wants to help you reach your goals- Heidi will not hold your hand, however, will defy be there to support

Boring lectures, unorganized, unprofessional, vague instructions for paper and presentation, what she says wont be on the test could very well be on the test, 2 textbooks only 1 is used. Interesting guest speakers, choice of paper or presentation, hard marker of APA style, exams are average in difficulty.

Comment:

As long as you attend class regularly, and take your own notes, you'll have no trouble having an all-around understanding of the course material. She explains everything well, so it's easy to understand the concepts. She gives you a study guide for the midterm and final, and 95% of the questions on the test are straight from the guide.
