Very blunt and has Cruel Humor. But he has a great class and you learn a lot. {you just have to get pass his comments}

Quite possibly one of the funniest and best teachers on campus, and his theater shows are top quality.

Plays faves but if you are one you will have a blast...if you can take it

Ed is freakin awesome as all get out. He may be a harsh critic sometimes, but hey, sometimes we need a little criticism in order to improve. He has brilliant ideas and is definitely one of the best theatre teachers I've had in the last 9 years! =D

Ed's the best.......or as he would say "We try to be nice to everyone!"

Whether or not you like his character he knows his stuff, and he's a good teacher.

He is a kick ass teacher, we called him Mr. Ed....wouldnt you say he looks like the dad from Clarissa explains it all? i met my girlfriend of 3+ years in his class

Ed Heaberlin is the most inspirational teacher that I've ever met throughout my whole journey through school. I am a theatre major and all of my inspiration I owe to him. Ed is something to applaud...your actors love you Ed Heaberlin. You are unreal, don't let anyone tell you otherwise...

First of all, ed is the most Caring, kind hearted respectful and passionate teacher i've ever had in my life. Just saying he sucks or is stupid is not rating. I suggest you morons get brains and really evalute why u don't like this professor. Ed casts people with talent{either u got it or u don't}, take an acting class and work on profecting your skills, don't get mad at the professor. Ed has changed my life forever and i am eternally grateful to him. Thank you for believing in my Ed.

I can't say enough good things about this professor, Ed puts in the extra time and effort to get the most out of his students. He's wonderful

Mr. Heaberlin; when it comes down to it, is a good teacher. Were not rating his looks here, like some of the genius's have put down, were commenting on the quality of his teaching. He's an excellent teacher. He loves his job and he loves to work with students. He's made me a better actor and i'm proud to say that i've worked with him in just about four plays now. I wouldn't change the people or the experiences i've had in the whole world. Theater is my life, and Ed gave me that gift.

I am absouluty appaled at the comments some of these morons left for professor Heberlin.Until i met Ed, i didn't even know what i wanted to do with my life.I had tried to do acting in high school, but was never successful at landing a part. Ed gave me my first role in "The Crucible" {without knowing me" and i've been acting ever since then.

I had Ed for acting class and eng. class, he was pretty good in both. I enjoyed both classes and did extremely well. He is a bit disorganized. He didnt play favs when i had him so idk what every1 else is talkin about. And he really helped me out a lot in the acting class. Thanks to him i've started acting again after giving it in in high school.

I've had Ed for both a play and two classes (Beg. Acting and Authors of Theatre). At first, he can seem a bit...odd...but that's what makes him so awesome! He's blunt, so if you like to argue, I suggest you stay away. However, he also is a wonderful director because of his bluntness. He'll sit you down and tell you exactly what you need to work on.

very humorous i dont see why there are soo many negative comments about him i enjoyed his class quite much he doesnt take b.s and if u get on his bad side then u stay on it for the rest of semester but i enjoyed him would take him again :)

Personally, I didn't have a problem with his attitude, but his class was very unorganized. He would miss class without warning and rarely had a lesson plan. His criticism was sometimes helpful, but I probably would not recommend him to another student :/

I don't know why the comments on here are so negative. Ed's very funny, and a very good teacher. He cancels class a lot if he's directing a play and he's very blunt, but his class was still the highlight of my week. He's very clearly passionate about what he does, and he tries his best to make theater fun for everyone, even skeptics.

Oral Interpretation. Ed is a great guy IMO, and I'm assuming a good director as well, but as far as teaching he needs some work. Only a week and a half left, we have NEVER used the book. Waste of money and time ordering it. Never got a syllabus either. Despite that, the class is very fun (if you go) and easy if you put even a lil effort into it.

I guess there's a lot of rude people in VVC these days. My experience in Public Speaking was more positive than what's being reported here, but there were a lot of adults in my class (people over 35, working) versus High School Grads. Very patient, if people are rude or talk back during your speech, he stops them or tells them to leave.

Ed can be a hit and miss with some people. Like already said, he's very blunt. I personally thought that's what made him funny. He will respect you in his class as long as you respect him and the class (IE don't talk when he is). The best advice would be, if you think a question is dumb ask a classmate first. He will put you on blast.

Ed is a great teacher, he expects student's to listen and not speak while others are presenting, but that is a respect thing for the other students and should be done. He expects you to listen, but is willing to repeat himself when asked. He follows his syllabus, which I find to be very helpful. I love his teaching style, and recommend him.

Wonderful class. Instructions are clear, if you mess up, you're not paying attention. Public speaking is hard, speeches every class. Ed was encouraging and kind in his remarks and compliments the progress made each week.

Ed, is a great acting professor, He gives great feedback and has a influential personality. He'll give strong feedback and loves to help you in any way he can to become a better actor.

He is fair but not everyone can see it. He treats everyone the same. He does his best to encourage his students. He works very hard as a director and teacher. He has a good sense of humor.

Ed is a very caring teacher, I took him in winter for interpersonal communication. He really made our class communicate and work together. I felt it was a great experience learning while getting to know your classmates. If your a person whose afraid of public speaking, well he's going to do his job & break you out of your shell.

Public speaking is hard, but not with Ed. I passed with flying colors, he encourages you. He ensures everyone is respectful. I found his sarcasm to be hilarious. One of the best classes I took. Took 6 week-winter.

Took Ed for the winter 2017 semester and his class was one of my favorite classes I took at VVC. He is very funny and sarcastic, He makes the class communicate with eachother which helps out A lot when you do a speech in front of them. I would highly recommend this class.

He is amazing and is a goof ball I love him he has a kind heart and cares so much about his students I wanna take another class with him asap

Amazing and has the best sense of humor

Isnt the best organized. Just do what he says and you'll pass with an A. You dont have to buy the book, I was one of 4 that bought it and I wish that I didnt. Great teacher, just dont be weak.

He's a good professor I don't know why people rate with so badly. He has a sarcastic sense of humor but student need to learn to take a joke but I would recommend him

I had Professor Ed in the spring 2021, I really enjoyed his class so much. He was very helpful and gave great advice. It was a lot different than actual face-to face class would be, but overall the zoom meetings were fun. I would definitely recommend him to others who plan to take this class.

He is a really good professor just one of the harder ones in Theatre because the theatre life is not easy. If you are a class clown you won't last long in his class but if you show dedication it is an easy pass. This is my second class with him and I enjoyed it again. Just be ready to read and talk a lot in his classes with presentations.

I took this class to work on my public speaking skills but got so much more out of it. The whole class became like a family by the end of the 6 weeks, and it would have never been able to happen without Heaberlin's compassion. This teacher truly loves what he does and if you give him a chance his caring will rub off on you too.

Professor Ed, was an amazing teacher I took him my first year for CMST-106 in person and I loved that class. So easy we barely did anything. He is an easy grader and as long as you show up and at least participate you will definitely pass his class without a problem. I would take him for every communication class if I could. Great professor.
