Comment:

The best professor you could ask for! He truly cares for his students and really wants them to succeed. I had him for Calc 1 during COVID. He went out of his way to help people out when we switched to online. His lectures are amazing! Super easy to understand as well as take notes. He is a very fair grader. I'm taking him for Calc 2. I can't wait!

Im not a numbers person but I really like stats and this professor always made the course entertaining while helping me learn and retain the information. If given the chance take him he is very helpful and makes the class a great experience.

Amazing in the classroom, once we had to move online he did everything in his power to ensure that the way the material was delievered was as similar inperson class as possible. Come in with a strong foundation in rudiment mathematics becasue calculators aren't always allowed. Go to office hours always happy to help if you're confused. Amazing man.

Comment:

If going into his Calculus 1 class, please note that he doesn't let you use calculators on tests. You must be an expert at trig, day 1. Memorize the unit circle (he only goes by radians). Derivatives become fun! The tests do not! The study guide is nothing like the test. Go to his office hours, they 100% help. Funny person. Fast-paced environment.

Comment:

Look he seems like a nice guy and all but his teaching is too fast for slower people. He does not stop for no one and will embarrass you if you answer a question wrong. He overloads you with work the first day of class and expects you to remember everything perfectly from prior maths and does not stop to explain.

Dr. Heitmann is the best math teacher I have ever had. He cares about the success of his students and is very accessible outside of class. I took his class during the summer so the class was 2hrs and 15min every day, but he made it feel so short and very enjoyable. He is also extremely funny!!! Definitely take this professor!!!!!!!!!!

Comment:

He doesnt understand that students learn in different ways. 95% of the homework given is things we never reviewed in class and only goes over like 4 of them. Some students need the actual correct answers to each homework problem to study for tests and quizzes. Also tried to be funny but just isnt. Terrible professor.

Comment:

By far the worst professor I have ever encountered. Always mistakes on the notes and he would say he would upload answers to study guides and other hand outs but would never actually upload them to D2L. He divided the class up after an exam (so much for anonymity) and told those who did poorly that they should withdraw now and accept a mediocre job

Comment:

If you take his class you have to be prepared not to due well. You might understand his notes and quizzes but his tests are nothing compared to them. He assumes you should know everything regarding math and calls on people randomly. Overall stay away from taking a class with him at all costs. Ive never put forth so much effort to do poorly.

Comment:

Good guy, not a great professor. If youre a fresh. or soph. might be ok. 300 level, yet felt like high school. He forces students to participate in lecture and attend classes, yet all notes are online. Tests can be difficult. Each test has one problem he knows everyone will probably get wrong. No curve. Weekly quizzes. HW graded on completion.

Comment:

A gifted mathematician and teacher, but it is for his wisdom that I will take him again. When he conveys the importance of something, it is often unrelated to math or academia at all but instead to culture and connection. He is transparently sarcastic which makes him comfortably hilarious. He offers extra lectures before exams. A true gem.

Comment:

He is a great professor and he keeps the class interesting. He will go over anything you ask until you understand it. He does give out homework every class but you have a whole week to do it and the answers are given. He lets you drop an extra quiz if you go to a cultural event which is a nice change from having to write a paper for extra credit.

Comment:

Dr. Heitmann is probably one of my favorite professors! He explains everything so well, & tells stories throughout class to keep it entertaining. His notes are extremely easy to follow and are exactly what you need to help you on your homework/tests. Quizzes are easy but tests require you to know more than just the basics. I'd take his class again!

By far the best professor I have had at Millersville hands down. He really cares about how you do in his class, if you don't understand things he is more than willing to help you out in his office hours. If you have the chance to take a class with him I would highly recommend doing so.

Comment:

Dr. Heitmann's teaching process is very thorough and clear and he is good at explaining problems. However, he is a VERY harsh grader and expects a lot. His tests are very difficult and he assigns a lot of homework, but if you study hard and put and put a lot of effort into the class, you will most likely do well. If not, lord have mercy on your GPA

Awesome professor. The class was tough, but ODE is a higher level course, so not unexpected. He will call on you in class, and you will not be ready to answer. Tests are tough, but quizzes are easier. He gets very frustrated if you don't remember things from previous math courses, so study up before you take him.

Comment:

His class is hard because he tests on concepts. If you're worried about a grade, maybe don't take him. But if you may ever need this course in the future for other courses/the real world, take it with him. Also, if you get him on the right topic, he will spend the whole class telling stories. He's a goofy guy, and he's very helpful in office hours.

Comment:

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE PROFESSOR! This course is hard as heck, the tests are extremely difficult, and if you don't come to class you will definitely not pass. Aside from that you couldn't ask for a better and more patient professor. Office hours are packed with people and he will give every one of you every second of his free time.
