One of those teachers who I would recommend to anyone. I learned more about Business Communications that I thought I would, and I am glad. The class required work to get an A, and there is a lot of interraction, so be prepared. But Heidi, being very positive and professional, made the material easy to absorb for someone with no interest in it.
