I thought he was awesome, I had him for his first semester here so that could have made a difference. He gets the class interested in english more by doing fun projects but as far as grading he is a hard teacher

one of my favorite teachers. very liberal ideas. his class is easy as long as you stay up with the work.

there is quite a bit of reading, somewhat of a difficult grader, just do your assignments and youll be fine... didnt enjoy the class. im not republican but this class should be a.k.a. Communism 101, far left wing ideas and beliefs, ideas were distracting from class, because he always expressed them

He's a great teacher who cares about his students and does his best to help them. I learned a lot from the class.

Very helpful teacher, very liberal. He always goes out of the way to help, but his idea's are centered around utopia. If you don't like the idea of utopia or the book 1984 don't take him. But other then that outstanding.

He is a good teacher. I learn a lot from him and he always makes his students laugh at his corny jokes. I learned a lot from him and I would recommend him to anyone wanting to take 101

Awesome teacher! Loved his class!

This teacher was great! I recommend any new college student to take him, mostly because he's not rigid like most other English teachers. He's got good taste in music. Plus, he was pretty hot.

Really nice guy, learned a lot, interesting reads, stuff you can relate with, specially for my 1st year

Mr. H. is a really great teacher and good guy. He expresses his opinions well w/o being biased. Also, he uses fun tactics like internet surfing (youtube). But you must actually read the text he provides. He grades pretty easy.

He's pretty cool. Hardcore liberal. Although, it could be armageddon, and he would probably still have class. But he really challenges his students and wants you to learn, and is obviously very knowledgeable about his subject.

Very cool, professional, and funny. Do the work, make it to class, and participate. Think out of the box and have fun. Be responsible, he knows when you start to slack. A lot of reading-- however, it is worth it!!!!!!

A good profesor to take if you want to learn. He tries hard to make his students comfortable, and is always willing to talk; ask him if you're not sure about something. Very intelligent, and passionate about his subject matter. When a prof loves what he does, like Mr. H, it's easy to enjoy his class.

Great, innovative, and imaginative teacher. Demands that you put effort into the class and actually learn something! His assignmensts are thought provoking and enlightening. He selects relevant topics and encourages different viewpoints in classroom discussions. He deserves to be teaching at a ivy league college! A + Teacher

Heidenreich's style is a little different but it was refreshing from time to time. He had some trouble drawing interest from a lot of the class which made it a little awkward sometimes, but overall I thought the class wasn't too bad, you had to work for a good grade though. Doing the readings is a must.

REALLY fun professor! It was the class that I had always looked forward to in the day. Plus, the research paper is pretty flexible, it just has to stay within the Utopia idea that the whole class is based around. His grading is pretty easy, he just wants to have a very solid analysis and stuff (but which English professor doesn't?) TAKE HIM!

Extremely difficult class. The texts are pretty ridiculous but he helped relate it to real life events and easier texts. He grades pretty tough on the exams and essays. My only real complaint was that the quizzes were ridiculously specific and they were worth 20% of your grade! Recommend the professor, but beware of the class.

Adam is not just one of the best, he is THE BEST teacher I have ever had. He is down to earth, he cares about you, he talked like a teen and has a dirty mouth. He is funny and keeps you excited, he is sexy and just a really great guy. I want to take every class he ever has to offer, even if I don't need it for my major.Love this professor.Love him.

This guy is great, he puts everything out there and tells it like it is & you know what to expect. He is a slightly tough grader on essays, but you'll learn after a while what he is looking for. He really makes the class interesting for what it is though, which is a required rhetoric class. Loved him!

This guy is like um theworstevere loser hehatestheworld - especially you!

i know as college students we wanna breeze by with minimal work xD however if u keep up w the readings, refer to sparknotes on stuff u might not understand and go to all of the Xtra credit chances he gives there is no way u will get a bad grade! just pay atten in class and participate. this has been the EASIEST english class i have EVER taken b4!

Good professor - straight forward with class expectations. There was a lot of reading so just make sure you are prepared to make time for that. Fair grader and knows what he's talking about. He's also laid back and pretty funny. I would reccommend taking him.

Very funny once you understand his humor. One of the most helpful and encouraging professors I've ever had. His quizzes are open book and his exams aren't difficult as long as you're not an idiot and you've read the material. He'll do all he can to help you get a good grade in his class. I'm now at UIC, but I wish I could still take his courses.

This was one of the best online courses I have taken at JJC. Clear instruction of what was expected and when assignments were due. Grades were issued in a timely fashion. There was a considerable amount of reading because it was in an accelerated format but the video lectures he provided allowed or a deeper perspective of the material. Great class!

Best online course I have taken at JJC. Instructor was very straight forward with assignments, due dates, and expectations. Intensive reading however the provided video lectures assisted in the comprehension. Great class. I was actually sorry to see it come to an end.

Honestly, if you plan to put in an effort in prof. Heidenreich's class, you'll be acknowledged and rewarded for that. However, if you only take this class to blow off with minimum amount of work while still receiving the credit, it will be reflected on your grade, as it should. Be a college student, do the work (BS it if you must but DO IT)

He's a funny guy. We didn't always get everything done like flash fiction reading. He kept the class interesting though. The only downsides are the quizzes we have to take online and that he likes everything typed. He did take late work though.

Great guy, really funny, easy grader, clear in what he wants, structure of class is super easy, and he is open to his students about life. The negatives would be he never post grades on time and he will never respond to your emails

Had the pleasure of having Adam for multiple classes at JJC. He makes assignments fun, always offers a helping hand, and acts more as another student, rather than a teacher. Very knowledgeable and easy to get along with. Highly recommend.

I seriously LOVE this teacher. He's clear, concise and is a very funsmart person. The only reason I look forward to JJC is because of his class. He does assign a lot of homework but I think it is appropriate considering how much I've learned in the class. This teacher made me love writing again! TAKE HIM! (if you are serious about learning)

This prof h is hilarious. He's super easy-going and makes class fun. He grades well and gives you great feedback. The only issue I had was with the assignment schedule. It was written with the due dates for all the assignments and you HAVE to remember to look at it because he does not remind you about it. Just be responsible and you'll pass easy

He's really nice and one of the JJC's best english professor. After dropping out from eng102 several times bcz those teachers were crazy and use to give so many instructions, so many papers and reading, this guy is awesome and hilarious. He's always ready to help *2 essays, 1 proposal, 1 outline, 1 Research paper and presentation* BEST TEACHER

I enjoyed having Mr. Heidenreich as my professor for ENG102. He is hilarious and makes class interesting. He explains his expectations very clearly and will help if you need any extra guidance. His grading is fair and consistent. I definitely recommend him as a professor.

My favorite teacher of all time. Most of the time I dread going to school, but with Mr Heidenreich I have an extra bounce in the morning anticipating his class. And did I mention he is hot!

Hilarious teacher, had a lot of fun with all of the assignments. Enjoyed the class and learned a lot about how to improve my writing.

Have two papers for the whole semester. He gives ample amount of time to do them as well as lab time. Has a very unique personality which makes class funny and interesting. Must say he is a big fan of fantasy land Utopia

A very interesting summer course! There is a LOT of reading to do in a short period of time, and graded discussions on each reading, so plan your time wisely. He also posts lecture videos on each story which are very helpful when studying for the midterm and final.

Best teacher at JJC, the only man who hasn't lost it to political correctness. He's hilarious; he teaches you the beauty of the world through essays, poetry, music, and expression. To those who dislike him? They are offended too quickly by his witty prose. Bravo Mr. Heidenreich! Btw, I took him twice, looking for a third class of his!

AVOID THIS TEACHER AT ALL COST BEWARE. This teacher should be removed from JJC. When grading essays he dont even read the whole thing for the drafts. Instead he makes vague comments on the beginning of the paper and expects the students to know exactly what hes talking about. He also takes weeks to grade one thing. TAKE SOMEONE ELSE

dope guy. loved his class

I've never had a favorite professor before, but 10/10 Adam was my favorite. I've taken 3 classes with him and I've enjoyed them all. He's a very passionate teacher, his class was the one I looked forward to going to, and had the most laughs . He gave me newfound confidence in my writing and created a comfortable environment to share it. :)

I took him for film this summer and it was a great class! He actually chose interesting new films for a good majority of the movies! All you really have to do is just keep up with assignment schedule, take the little online quizzes (which are literally just completion essentially), and write one easy 1000 word paper. Super interesting course!

He is great! Students are required to participate in discussions, analytical, watch films, which are good. The essays are easy if you read or pay attention to the quizzes. At least skim the chapter readings to pass the quiz if you can't read. The exams cover things that were not mentioned in quizzes, Quizlet is your friend. Easy grader, and cares.

Very simple class and the professor is an easy grader.

Lot of students in my class got bad grade or dropped it because they didn't follow his instructions fully! If you follow his instructions and communicate with him and your classmates, this class is an easy A. Message him if you don't understand something, he usually replies within 1-2 days. Easy class!

I loved being in his ENG102 in-person class. The Dystopian book covered in the class made the conversations in class so interesting. The professor was always cracking jokes but he remained respectful even though the nature of the book is very eery. He gives great feedback and even helps when you are struggling since the papers are rough.

Heidenreich's ENG102 class is an easy class. There are 3 essays throughout the semester and only a few homework assignments. I took his hybrid class and as long as you completed the work on time, and followed instructions EXACT, he gave you a good grade. Read instructions before asking for help or he will make you feel a bit unintelligent.

Great teacher and ready to answer questions. This class was fairly simple but did get a little homework heavy towards the end.

Great course to take just because. There are two big essays and other than that it is just discussion posts. The textbook quizzes were just participation, and I recommend paying attention, so the midterm and final are easier. I only had to rent a few movies on my own but it wasn't bad.

Professor Heidenreich's ENG-120 course, while definitely difficult, was a good learning experience for me as a Journalism major. He was always transparent in what he wanted when I'd email him and responded promptly. Don't take this class if you're trying to slack off and not challenge yourself as a writer; it'll only make you struggle more.

I really enjoyed this class! Teacher is easy going. Readings from the text, a quiz, and weekly writing prompts. Minimal work when rough drafts are due. My only wish is that he gave more feedback. No feedback is given on the weekly writing prompts and one of my rough drafts I got back had a couple of points deducted but not feedback as to why.
