Heisser is such a good professor. She's a kind teacher that likes to help her students do well in the class. She bases the grading on 2 in-class essays, in-class quizzes, and one multiple choice final. All of them are fairly easy if you dedicate your time to reading the textbook. Not a strict or hard teacher.

Awesome professor! I used to think history was a boring class until I took her class. She makes the class rather enjoyable. I highly recoomend her for history 100 if you plan on taking the course. Too bad she doesn't teach history 109 or else i'll be taking it.

Good teacher, very helpful. Those essay tests take a lot out of you though. Wasn't really interested in taking this class but I got what I wanted out of it.

I am the WORST student ever!!.. Prof. Heisser is extremely helpful and patient. super easy to follow, just pay attention! don't think there was any hwk.. only reading along in the book.

Heisser is the sweetest, most caring teacher ever! She will do anything she can to give you a passing grade. Although it is an extremely hard class, esspecailly when your not interested in history AT ALL, but she is soo helpful! Do not take this class though if you do not like lectures because thats all she gives.

Class is not THAT hard. The exams are very manageable if you prepare well. I got As. I liked the writtens better than the multiple choice final. Great instructor, wants you to learn & provides a lot of good resources. We never had weekly quizzes though she puts that in her syllabus, just 3 exams total. Got a lot out of this class - do recommend!

she's awesome. definitely take her. she helped me tremendously.

Prof. is the best one I've had at Mesa! She's easy, understanding and way helpful. I never enjoyed history as much as I did with her. I took both 100 and 101- both were great b/c of her!!!!

I really enjoyed Prof. Heisser lectures. She did take a long time giving past tests back but there were only 3 including the final! She was more than willing to explain anything and was willing to meet after class and communicate by email if you wanted. I would take her again and recommend highly.

Prof. Heisser is a great teacher! Keep up with the program and don't fall behind or it'll be a tough semester for you! Took both her 100 + 101 courses, (Which is not recommended because of the level of reading), but individually both classes are not too difficult if you put the time and effort! Wish she taught in SDSU :)

Professor Heisser is really sweet. She's really nice and helpful. As long as you stay on top of the reading, you'll do fine in the class. Take good notes and read her outlines.

Great teacher! Very nice highly recommend

Very clear, and intellegent, interesting lectures

Very nice and helpful. Has a refreshing sense of intelligent humor. Highly recommended.

She is a really good professor, her lectures are very clear and when you pay really close attention you find that she gives the lectures as a story. tests question aren't difficult but require thinking. If you keep up with all the readings, you will ace it. I missed so many days and she was so understanding and I ended up with an A in her class.

Professor Heisser was very friendly and her class was very straightforward. Quizzes and tests were easy and even had make up points for work. If you put effort in you will not get lower than a solid B.

Sweetest teacher you will ever meet. She sincerely wants everyone to pass. Gives lots of opportunity to get more points! Must keep up with the reading and hw if you want to do well on the tests but she lets you use the one of the books on the tests. always gives you study guides. so glad I took this class

Professor Heisser is the best! She is so informative, helpful, and really cares about her students. All around awesome professor.

Professor Heisser is a good teacher, i could tell she has heart for learning and students futures. Prof may give some busy work but its for students own good, my reading and writing skills improved quickly during her classes! I would most certainly take her again and encourage others to experience her vast knowledge of history!!

She is the nicest lady ever. She makes history way more interesting than what it actually is. Exams are not really easy, but she gives lots of extra credit opportunities. Not a tough grader.

Great teacher. She knows the information inside and out and conveys it in a clear, concise, and interesting manner. This class isn't easy, not hard either, just requires some work. I did just fine studying her outlines and reading the chapters. If you read the chapters before class it's a breeze. If your a history major take her for sure.

She is a very nice, helpful teacher. I didnt do great because i didn't put in the effort on reading the chapters. She helps a lot and cares about the students. Her lecture can be sometimes boring, if you dont like history. Overall great proffesor.

She paints history with such enthusiasm and metaphors that it's like listening to a story. Professor Heisser is the greatest history professor I've had throughout my history major and all schooling. She actually cares for her students and whether or not the material is being learned by her listeners.

I love the professor. She's always willing to help out with questions, even if you just shoot her an email. This class is so much work. She hands out a bunch of packets of work for her students and expects it all to be done, but most of it won't even be on the exams. She has boring lectures but lets you use lecture notes on exams so that's nice

Pro Hiesser is a great teacher she makes history sound like a story. i took her during the summer session which was 5 weeks and i did great. She gives bonuses for having the entire class come to classes her tests were all multiple choice which is great. take a lot of notes it will help in the long run :)

Super chill i never bought the textbook or studied and had a high C. Get the book and try a littlemyou will get an A

She is a really great teacher who loves to discuss the world with you before, during and after class. If you want to pass you have to be in class and do the homework. Her test challenge the mind but if your there participating you will be fine. Her lectures are done with PowerPoint and she is very interactive with the class and makes it fun. :-)

difficult tests! even if you read the whole book the questions are still hard! Lots of homework! attendance is very important.

She's entertaining and is passionate about what she teaches. Her lectures are more like a story, easy to understand and engaging. There is homework but you have to keep track of it yourself. She also shows lots of videos and movies. She often connects the past to the present and makes things make more sense. Would definitely take again!

She is very passionate about history and her lectures are always on point. If you read the book , her lectures run parallel with the books. I recommend her to anyone!!

I took her for History 100 & 101. She truly is a nice professor & very approachable. She does assign a lot of hw but she isn't a tough grader. I didn't do so well on the exams but she still passed me with an A for both. Just do all the hw & prepare for her exams (I regret not doing that) and you'll do fine. Lets you use hw on exams.

Took her last summer. She is nice and knows a lot, even things that aren't history related. Lectures are interesting but can drag on sometimes. Expect a LOT of homework, but as long as you turn it in and study for the tests you'll pass no problem. Overall a good teacher.

Total sweetheart, who if you show the effort will pass you.

The nicest professor I've had so far, and very knowledgeable. Lectures are interesting but sometimes unclear and off topic, so you do have to read chapters before class to understand them better. Homework can be a drag too but they do help since she let us use them on tests. Not a bad choice but you do need to work for it.

Took her over summer, great choice. Lot's of homework and only graded based on effort. Here's a catch they worth SO much points that you pretty much only need to score B's and C's on tests to get an A on her class. Lecture wise it's interesting, sometimes she would go off topic but she expects you to read b4 class, lectures are there as expansion.

Professor Heisser was super nice she's a GREAT professor! She tells stories to help make stuff applicable and understandable . She's got moderately high expectations and expects you to work, but is also super kind. She's big on learning and will change format of class/tests to help each class succeed. Best history professor I've ever had!

I LOVED Professor Heisser! I joined the class late and was scared I'd be behind the class, but I'm the only one I know that finished with an A., There were no tests, just one mock test at the beginning of the year, but if you don't go to class you'll be LOST. No tests, minimal hmwk, mostly movies. The class was confusing but she is SO SWEET.

Nice, compassionate. Difficult teacher for online & in-class. Tests are not easy, but easier online since she allows 4 attempts. Must read & take notes if you don't have a strong sense of world history. Does not do zoom for online (COVID19,) lags on grading, test questions are tricky. Will listen to your feedback, offers lots of materials to help.

She is the best teacher I had this semester. She is very nice and caring. There were no lectures to attend and all you have to do is keep up with reading the books and all the stuff she posts for the chapters. She does a lot of discussions and very minimal quizzes.

Extremely friendly Prof. and very accommodating. Insanely knowledgeable about subjects and the lectures are engaging. Her priority is to help students succeed and it shows. In my opinion, this should be an easy A, If you can't succeed with this course then you should reevaluate how you are as a student. Her canvas explanations can be very confusing

Great professor, super caring and wants her students to succeed, very fun lectures and her regular emails are much appreciated and help a ton with preparing for class. Ive heard other students complain that this class was too hard/workload too heavy, but its actually very mild compared to most college classes. I think these people are just freshman

My favorite class this semester! Prof. Heisser is the sweetest woman ever. The course was fun and easy just pay attention in class and read the book and the tests will be super easy. It was sad saying goodbye to a wonderful professor.

Test reliant, very little hw. Professor Heisser was incredible. I felt like I was getting a quality education with her. It would be a mistake not to take her class. I passed by studying the study guides and the textbook thoroughly. It'll be tough but if you're not putting in effort, why are you here in the first place? Trust me, you'll be fine.

Professor Heisser was amazing when I took this class, especially to those who WANT to make an effort in learning history. Her lectures I found to be very engaging, they were long, but she repeated main points often and I just took notes while she was talking. If you want someone who cares about history, she's your professor.

Absolutely amazing Professor. Teaching style is a little out dated but very passionate about teaching. everything is on paper no online assignments. Quizzes are easy just pay attention during lecture and go over the study guides she hands out and you'll get an easy A. TEXTBOOK NOT MANDATORY rarely used it since she printed everything out for us.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING fun and interactive lectures. She is very passionate about teaching. There were so many people ditching her class because it can be a little lengthy and boring to some people. BUT if you don't miss an important day, you get extra credit for just being there. just FOCUS on the study guides and you're set for success. HIGHLY RECC!!

Professor Heisser is excellent! The class itself definitely requires a lot of time dedication, but she's very considerate and tries to avoid making the class something to stress too much over. She's strict on deadlines but also gives you ample time to complete all of the work and the exams are pretty accurate to the study guide materials.

Such a caring and sweet professor. Very lecture heavy and has no assignments online, EVERYTHING is on paper. However, she gives plenty of time and warning before collection day. Not an easy class, but you'll definitely learn.

Alot of lectures and you don't have to attend but you will miss valuable information if you're absent. A lot of content to retain for the exams but if you do the assignments and study you should be okay. She's very passionate about what she's teaching which keeps it interesting. I could tell she cared about my personal success in her class.
