very good teacher as long as you read the book you will pass her course her test are the lectures very easy she gets into historyalot
She is the best, if you don't know now you know. I will be making hist my minor.
HAD HER FOR BOTH HISTORIES AND THOUGHT SHE WAS AWESOME. SHE IS NOT HARD, AND LOVES TO TEACH HISTORY. REALLY GETS INTO IT, AND MAKES IT INTERESTING. TAKE HER!!
She was awesome. I never once read the book because her tests come straight from lecture. She really gets into history and makes it alive in the classroom. I highly recommend her
She's pretty cool & all; however, I guess at the time I took her, she seemed a bit confusing at explaining things that I had to drop the class. My recommendation would be to take McRee at Central Campus. He's an adjunct teacher, but one of the best. Very easy & super cool. Made a B in his class.
She rocks!! She makes the lectures so interesting that you just have to stay awake. I never thought History could be that fun! If your taking history I recommend you take Mrs. Heafer!!! U rock mrs heafer cool chick
Dr. Heafer is the greatest of all time. I "HATED" until I enrolled in Dr. Heafer's class. I just completed 1302 Winter Mini '04 and took 1301 in the Summer 2004. She makes History very interesting. The majority of her test comes from her notes, but you can refer to the book to read indepth. On her t
GREAT PROFESSOR! I love history, and I promise that those who don't will love the course and the professor after taking this class.
This teacher is fairly easy, she acts out history in her class. Her test is easy, it is essay format so if you knw the material there is NO WAY you can fail her test. I liked it bc there was of her testing method and teaching style.
Excellent Professor. She has so much knowledge about the subject is ridiculous! And she adds in stories too of her own experiences in various countries and cultures. I'd definitely take her again. She lays things out too so you know how to prepare for her tests and other assignments. Just get ready to do some writing for her exams!
Dr. Heafer is totally awesome. I took her in the Summer and for Winter Mini. She make the class very very interesting. She has so much knowledge regarding History. She definately clarifies all doubts. I highly recommend this instructor. She offers extra credit and her test are from her notes. Her test consist of essays and vocabulary.
She is a very into her history and it kind of makes me laugh because she sets over excited. Tests are pretty much straight from the notes but a very good prof.

I LOVE Dr Heafer. Best history teacher I have ever had. Made the course soooo interesting. I would recommend her to ne1.
Best history teacher ever
Very intelligent animated teacher who knows her**** one of my best if not the best teacher ive had !!!
excelent history teacher the best!
this woman LOVES history!take notes and the tests are easy...
Heafer is by far the best history teacher I have every had. She makes history exciting. I would recommend everyone to take, you will not be disappointed. She is a real character and will leave you wanted to know the rest of the story. I got an A in both classes. If you took notes you will pass the course
This woman is crazy about History! She's loves it, and has tons of stories. She's traveled to almost every place she's disussed. She does tend to ramble A LOT, which can put you to sleep if she's not talking about something interesting. At first I was nervous about her tests -- basically all essay. As long as you take notes, you'll do fine!
She absolutely loves History! She does tend to ramble but its worth the easiness of the class. Just take notes and you ace the class.
She was Great! I was lost at first about what to study, but if you take notes and due the terms it's easy to ace her class. She is a lively teacher and I think if she had not of taught that way I wouldn't of done so well.
Dr. Heafer is a great teacher with a good sense of humor. her test arent that hard just make sure that you pay attention to the lecture.
loved the class
wow!!! the best teacher ever. she is so awsome. easy A+ in the class. all you have to do is take lots of notes and you'll be good. she will make you love history lol or maybe not
Took her for for Summer 1&2. Very easy, she writes everything you need to know on the board. She elaborates on the important stuff. I didn't have to study very much because of the way she lectured,still I got A's in both classes. Read the assigned book! She gave reviews of what she might have on tests, what will be was obvious in lectures.THE BEST
loved her class.
I like her alot.She`s Wonderful.Just make sure you dont miss any her class because everything she said is on the test, and pay attention to her lecture.She loves telling stories, her humorous stories are the lessons.That makes you memorize the lectures easily. The notes she gave are really useful too.I strongly recommend you to take her.
I taken Mrs Heafers class during the summer it was alot of info to cover but she really knew her stuff. I didnt do so well on the first test but once I noticed what she wanted on the test they were easy she lets you choose the question you want to answer which makes it easier.Alot of notes but I would recommened Mrs Heafers class.
Really good professor! Will take her again for HIST 1302. Easy test if you study. Always write down the notes on the board (Will be Most definetly on the test). And listen to her stories,their important. they help on the test!
She's a character! I had a lot of fun in her class and learned much more than I did in any other history classs. She is very energized and as long as you pay attention, which you will because she acts out history, than you will pass
I LOVE HISTORY!!! and all because of her! She is a fabulous teacher, such a character! You will definitely be entertained. Tests are not too dreadful, but are over her lectures... so you have to attend!!! Though you won't regret it! She is fabulous!
She is really a good teacher I took her mini classes summer and winter just so I could take another class. But I TOTALLY recommend her, Take her for her for your Minis if you want if not then just enroll in her semester classes. This class is easy came out with A's the test are really easy because she says all her notes in her class that are going
This lady is just the sweetest. She's more of a story teller than anything else. I looked forward to going to her classes because history was interesting to her and she made sure it was to you too. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TAKING HER. I love her color coordinated outfits too!
I love Dr. Heafer! This professor obviously has a passion for history. She incorporates a lot of personal stories into her lectures that keep you very interested. Her test are not difficult, straight out of the notes. Take her, she's a sweet lady who's more than open to help if youre lost.
I love her!She is very sweet, and extremely passionate about what she does.Reviews the material a lot.Her tests are easy as long as you have the notes down, and study a bit.Everything on the test is from her lecture.
Awesome teacher. Very interesting and her lectures are quite entertaining, she has a good sense of humor. If you attend the lectures the exams are a piece of cake.
Crazy teacher. Gets really excited over history and its awesome. tests are over class notes with little to no question from book. 2 tests, 1 research paper, 1 test over a supplementary book, and the final are all the grades.
Best teacher ever. She is very dramatic when it comes to her stories. Her lectures are more of a story type so she keeps you interested. I am taking her again for the second part. Must attend class and dont be late and turn off cell phones. I did not use my book at all and pass her class with A. Gives you a research paper, and its a piece of cake.
She really awsome, her lectures are funny and intresting :) i barely used the book. I took her for history 1 and im just finishing 2 with her. Research paper is super easy, and their a separte supplement reading but its easy, test are easy she such an actress, i would reccomend her!!!!
Easy, funny, dramatic, test are easy, research paper easy, reading supplement easy. Just take down notes she puts on the board and listen to her funny stories and you will pass. Had her for history 1 too.
So I had this Prof. Assuming EVERYTHING I read on this pg. seems like good reviews the only thing they dnt tell u you its MANDATORY for you too read this 800pg book called TRIANGLE! You have to read bout it and write an essay there is no daily work so u must tk notes for test!!
I thought about dropping this class but I ended up really liking it.I took her for 1301 and she is very interesting.do not miss any days.she makes history very fun and interesting.I could have made a better grade but did not apply myself as much as i could have.I would not buy the book. she does make you read the s book but just google it.
She's great at imagery She gives you easy examples to remember and keeps the class interesting She's also a big part of WEBB Society
She is a great teacher, i would recommend her to anyone. Whatever she lectures about in class will be on the test, test are easy if you study. she does require you to read a book but i didnt read it. i just googled everything and made a A on the test over the book! overall great teacher...try her and i promise you'll pass if you atleast try!
She is an awesome Professor. She's really animated and gets you into the subject and they way she explains things MAKE them stick in your memory. This was probably the best class I have ever had in college career.
I TOOK HER FOR FIRST AND SECOND PART OF ENGLISH AND ENJOYED EVERY BIT OF IT SHE MAKES YOU WANT TO LISTEN SHE ENJOYS TEACHING IT WHICH MAKES YOU ENJOY LEARNING IT
Great teacher. Makes class interesting. No homework! Wants you to read chapters but test are all on what she lectures on in class. For a 7am class she keeps us all awake with her re-enactments. I love her class and hope to take her for 1302.
EXTREMELY HELPFUL! She brings history to life! I enjoyed her class! ONE THING DONT BE LATE! YOU WILL GET LOCKED OUT! ALL IN ALL SHE IS AWESOME
This lady makes you want to come to class. So clear when explainning each topic. What she lectures comes on each test. It was easy making an A+ in this winter mini. She is high reccomended. She basically tells you each topic to study for the test too. Take her now peeps.
I honestly recommend this teacher she is amazing really. She is very helpful. I took her class on the 3 week mini piece of cake made an A. Her test were not multiple choice so you do need to study for the test if you study you will get a good grade if not well you will get a sucky grade. 4 test and 1 paper. Take her!!! :)
BEST TEACHER IN THE WOLRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is a great professor interesting and makes it easy to understand and learn. I really recommend her! Does not put you to sleep!
Dr.Heafer is a great teacher and she makes history fun plus funny! she loves history and I learn alot
She is honestly one of the best professors I have ever had. She LOVES history and it shows. I just knew history class would be boring but there was never a dull moment in class. She will definitely keep you alert and laughing. She does not grade hard at all. It was an easy A for me and I have always hated history class. She's very approachable
Awesome teacher, easy to understand. whatever notes she gives you is on the test. if she doesnt talk about it then its not on the test.
attend every class and you can get away without a book, that is if you don't want to earn the extra credit points on the tests by reading the small sections assigned. she keeps your attention making the class more interesting.
Easy course.
Probably the BEST professor I have EVER had!! Very passionate about history. Her lectures were not really lectures but entertaining stories about what happened in the world many hears ago. I took her at 7am in the morning, which is terribly early for me. But her passion and excitement helped me to want to listen to her and I finished with an A!
Dr. Heafer is the absolute best! She is a walking textbook! she knows the material front and back. she explaines very well, what is expected is very clear. attend each class you dont want to miss her lectures! I passed with an A!all test are written no multiple choice, but if you study the material you will pass!!!
Dr. Heafer by far is the best history teacher. She does not make the class boring. What ever she use or say in the lecture and in the sheet term are in the test. You will use the book. This was the every first class where I made 100 in all my test. I really do recommend for you to take her.
Really awesome class if you are motivated about doing well. Taking notes for this class is the only way to really prep for tests however she writes all of the important stuff on the board. No surprises or tricks with this teacher. Shes passionate about teaching and helping her students succeed. Best history teacher I've ever had.
She teaches straight from the book, but that doesnt mean you have to readt the textbook. She really loves teaching and makes fun stories with the lectures. And a amazing thing about her is that she gives you the test before the actual test, so A LOT of time to study.
I took her World civilization course and really enjoyed it! She knows her stuff every place went talked about she went to which helped us better understand the material. I made an A on every test just review in the book and listen you you will pass with an A. A very good professor I must say
Very entertaining, dramatic, funny, witty. Makes US history interesting, engaging, and fun. One of the most memorable and best teachers I've ever had.
Great,funny,informative,plenty of personal stories,lots of conviction,spunky,energetic,and most of knows how to teach U.S. History. This professor makes history interesting and then relates to modern day occurrences. Textbook isn't attached to a chain on your leg,but you still need from time to time. I recommend taking her classes 100%
Wonderful teacher! CHOOSE HER AS YOUR HISTORY PROFESSOR trust me you won't regret it! She's funny and makes history SO INTERESTING! She's very clear on assignments and her lectures are so informational and clear that you really don't need the book. She gives you plenty of opportunities to make up failed tests/missing assignments, great teacher!
Never have I met someone so passionate about history. At first I did not care about history at all, but she liked history so much that I started paying more attention, and I saw the importance of it.
Dr. Heafer was great I recommend anyone that has to take History to take her! She cares for her students and makes sure everything is clear and understandable. Her lectures are very interesting and you don't have to stress over her class like in other classes. Her tests aren't hard, you just have to study and take notes. Definitely recommend her.
best teacher ever majoring in history i love her classes wish she taught western next semester ;( but she's the best her lectures are great she is amazing !!!! you will love her!
Ms. Heafer almost makes me want to be a history teacher! She's so funny and she explains everything really well. They key to me, making 100s on the tests was I would record the lecture on my phone and I would listen to them all before the test to get my mind refreshed. Easy A, just make sure you take notes and go to class.
Ms. Heafer was a great teacher. She lectures the whole class, but doesn't give you ANY homework! Take advantage and read! She is old, but know what she's talking about and has a book in her HEAD! She knows all the history by memory, which is amazing! Remember, if you don't study, you will not pass!!!!
This teacher is flat out amazing. You will pass with an A even if your not into history. You must take notes and read the notes she gives you cause that is exactly the test outline. Love this teacher.
If you're looking for an A, take it. If you actually want to learn, which is why you're in school in the first place, I recommend you don't take this professor. Basically high school all over again.
By far my favorite Professor i've had at the san Jacinto college north. He is hilarious, informative, and just having him as a teacher alone has made me consider becoming a history major. you can tell he really enjoys telling the stories. As long as you take notes and ask questions you will pass. Also don't buy the book. you will NEVER use it.
Dr. Heafer turns class into story time. Her passion for history makes me feel like I was there.
Dr. Heafer is awesome! She makes history fun. She tells you to buy the book but if you don't skip class and listen to her lectures you will do good. Her test are easy and exactly of what her lectures are about.
easy A if you have good memory. did not take one note in class and passed with an A.
I LOVE HER! I learned a lot from her, basically you just gotta listen to her (instead of reading the book) .. pay attention, trust me she makes it interesting, take notes and everything else easy! She has good sense of humor too, really enjoyed her class :)
5/5! Shes so nice and makes history stick to your head. Textbook is more for reference she gives you an outline of what to study for test. She loves teaching and often pretends to be historical people which I enjoy because its like watching a one man play and it sticks to your head. I will never forget her class!
Professor Heafer is very clear in her lectures and information she gives. She only gives grades for tests, but is clear on her expectations. As long as you are in class and study it is an easy A!
Because of her, I'm not going to school to teach history. She's the perfect history teacher. She makes it so interesting, it's so good that when class ends, it's a bummer. I usually recorded her lectures on my phone, then listened to them like it was music a week before the tests.
At first, i despised her teaching methods but as time went on they actually helped me learn how to study. The key to passing her class is recording her lectures and listening to them a week before the tests. This woman has a textbook in her brain it's amazing. If you skip her class you wont pass.
Professor Heafer is amazing, easy grader and makes history so much fun. There is quite some reading but if you do everything with time it should be simple! Would definitely recommend!
She is amazing and the best history teacher I have ever taken! Even if you hate history, you will learn to appreciate it with her. She teaches so passionately (she acts like those historical figures) and makes it seem like we are in that era. She always tried to make a joke! You don't need the main book if you go to class everyday! 2 books needed
Best History Professor I have ever taken! No Homework, just 4 tests that count towards your grade. A knowledgeable professor who knows about her stuff without reading off a powerpoint slide. Very sweet and would definitely take her again!
She is an amazing professor. I had had another classes of history but any as it. This professor made me love every detail of history in the way she teaches in class. She anwers any questions and doubts you have. For tests, you must have pay attention to all what she says. Take this class!!!
Great Professor!
Prof. Heafer is one of the best teachers I've had! She's very knowledgeable and her lectures are always engaging. Her tests are all writing but not difficult if you pay attention in class. She is pretty lenient on grading and will give you partial credit as long as you put in some effort. Definitely recommend!
Her lectures are like stories. Her outlines reflect on what her exams are based on. All her exams are open ended but that shouldn't be a problem if you attend class regularly. She's an amazing prof, if i could take her again i would!
Professor Heafer was very entertaining in her lectures although she would ramble on about her personal stories & lose track of time she still was a pretty good professor. As long as you pay attention when she speaks & read the textbook, the class will be an easy A.
She's a very nice lady! she offers 10 extra credit points on test but you have to study since it comes for the worksheets she hands out. She has you read a book and take a test on it so be ready to read! There is also an essay but it is super easy and she lets you know in advanced!
She is a really nice caring woman. But her tests are written. You have to elaborate your answer in at least 4 sentences per question, and every test also requires an essay. So get ready to write a lot, i would leave with my wrist hurting. You have to study a lot since the tests are written and you don't have answer choice.
Super passionate about history so her lectures are great. But she's extra with exams, she scrambles the class and makes you sit apart from each other. Exams have like 10 multiple-choice and then a lot of writing, one-page essay and about 5 questions asking you to describe a topic in 4 sentences and bonus questions. My hand would literally cramp up.
This woman knows her history big time. She has everything in her head and does not use powerpoints. The lecture is amazing for this reason. She does make you write a lot in her test but shes a lenient grader so if you show effort, this class should be an easy A.
She is extremely lecture heavy. We have about 4 tests and a common assignment and thats it. She is very knowledgeable and if you pay attention in lecture you dont need to read. I loved learning history from her
Im truly going to miss professor Heafer when she retires she was one of the greatest history professors in San Jac even though her class requires you to read and study hard (7+hrs a day) it was worth it. She made me love history! I recommend you taking her when you dont have a lot of classes left because it requires a lot of memorization.
She is a good professor and talks a bit too much. You'll sometimes find yourself learning more about her travel life rather than the material. If you're trying to find a sympathetic professor, keep looking. If you do something she dislikes, she WILL put you on her bad side and refer back to that instance and introduce it in a different way.
As long as you pay attention in class and do her outlines you should be good. She is a really good professor and her travel stories are good and often tie to the point she is trying to make
The test are based on her lecture, however she doesnt stay on track. She spends the whole class repeating the last lecture and leaves the new information until the last 10 min of class. She doesnt allow any electronic use, even to take notes.
