Very good professor, I've been at UF for a year now and he is by far my favorite. Makes the class really interesting. Attendance is not mandatory but has unannounced activities for credit. Exams are kind of difficult but fair. I would recommend this class to anyone, Psych major or not.

He is a very good professor!!!! Id totally recommend this class. Exams are kinda hard but I never went to class. Readers are boring but important for exam. If you stay on top of everything you'll def ace the course

Don't be fooled. This class with Heesacker is NOT an easy A. You have to work your butt off for a decent grade. There are only 3 exams, and some extra credits that you have to attend class in order to get them. The text is usable but the reader(primary sources) is a grade killer. Mare sure you read everything!

Definitely not an easy A, but really interesting if you're willing to do all the reading. His lectures are engaging and funny, and he gives lots of extra credit throughout the semester. Be sure to read ALL of the reader readings!

Very tedious class. Guaranteed you will end up reading two textbooks (that he requires in class) COVER-to-COVER and there's no other choice b/c his M.C exams are based strictly on all readings. however, he gives out xtra cred. and if you read, exams are more than manageable. He has a funny sense of humor so his personality helps.

Dr. Heesacker is awesome. The class is a little difficult but her is fair and makes it as easy as possible. We have to read original documents and the questions are part of the test, but he picks from the questions written in the book. His lecture is closely based on the book. You should read, but I didn't and still managed an A. Take this clas

This class requires work. Attending lectures isn't necessary but is recommended because of the extra credit. You should read the textbook and attend his after class sessions for the additional readings he assigns. If you are willing to read A LOT and put in the effort you will get a good grade. And the prof. is a really nice guy

Heesacker was an awesome guy. He had a lotof enthusiasm and knowledge for the subject. His powerpoints cover the material, but very broadly so be sure to read the chapters for the tests. The reader questions he assigns aren't too difficult, at the review sessions he or the TA basically tells you which ones might be or will be on the test.

He is very fair and is willing to help students out. He tells you exactly what is expected out you before the class even starts.

Awesome professor

hilarious and shout out to the chili pepper!

Professor Heesacker is pretty awesome. He's really funny, so it makes the class interesting. There is a lot of reading but in all the class is worth it. He deserves a chili pepper lol.

Great professor, very entertaining lectures but a lot of reading.

Very interesting teacher, engaged in lectures and knowledgeable. LOTS of reading to stay on top of in order to well on tests, but the test questions are VERY easy if you are prepared!

Expect to read 700+ pages of text book material and studies! This class will be easy if you do the readings and think critically about psychology. The Prof. is amazing, knows his stuff, and is hilarious!

Dr. Heesacker is by far the best professor I've had at UF. His lectures are interesting and interactive. You will have to do the readings and study to get an A. That being said, the class is not difficult if you're willing to work. The tests are fair and relatively easy if you know your stuff. With all the extra credit he gave for coming to class, I ended up with over a 100.

He keeps the class interesting and fun. Textbooks were interesting, but a decent amount of material that's covered. YOU HAVE TO KEEP ON TOP OF THE READINGS. I recommend him!

Go to class and pay attention. You get extra credit for in class assignments. Dr. H is reaally helpful and nice, but he won't change your grade for you so don't try. DO THE READINGS!! If you read all the material and study you will get an A, it's time consuming but it's worth it. and if you stay after he'll walk with you and talk about life.

Dr. Heesacker is a funny professor and he makes lectures interesting for the most part. There are three exams. You will need both the textbook and the 2nd edition reader (you can purchase them separately and save a lot of money) You will need to read, and there is a lot of reading assigned. The exams can be a little tricky and particular.

Heesacker is VERY funny, class is always a good time. Probably my new favorite professor. Go to class because you will get extra credit for being there. READ THE BOOK AND THE READER otherwise you will not pass the exams. The exams are not easy, but they are fair. Just do the work and show up to class and you will end up with a decent grade.

Such a great professor. Really funny guy, and really interesting to listen to because he loves his subject. Actually one of the reasons I became a psychology major. Best professor I've had so far.

Amazing professor! Favorite class i've taken at UF. So interesting, class isn't required but you want to go because he is so entertaining! The tests definitely require you to do the reading, so if you aren't willing to read and do the study guides this class isn't for you! But if you are, you will learn a lot and have fun doing it!

He is a nice teacher and pretty interesting. The tests are kind of hard but he gives a lot extra credit. I used the book and when the tests come, get a study group for the reader questions!

Heesacker is a hilarious, passionate teacher who makes learning fun. He will trail off with random stories in class, which are welcome frequent breaks. He can be snarky, and may not be the right teacher for very sensitive people. But you can mostly tell he's saying comments in a joking way; he's not cruel. I would highly recommend this professor.

He's fantastic. So funny and such a great teacher. The class isn't too hard, read the textbook and you'll be fine.

Heesacker was a funny teacher, which made the class a lot more fun. The class was relatively easy and consisted mainly of quizzes and some small assignments. There were no tests.I would definitely take another class with him if I could.

Great lecturer. Very intelligent.

Heesacker is a great professor, however, I would never retake this class. I loved the professor but the work is not worth it. You have to read the whole textbook and the personality reader. Many assignments, there are not any exams, just 6 quizzes but they were hard and on the stupidest, tiny sentences in the textbook. You but read so much to pass

Not very hard. Lots of reading, but easy to keep up with. Very funny and interesting professor. Keeps you interested in the material.

He was really into the class and loved interaction with students. There were 10 in class activities that you had to be present to turn in so it was a motivation to go to class. The reader could be hard to understand considering it was all primary sources, but the assignments weren't hard. 4 online tests that weren't bad if you read the book

Very good lecturer, very helpful and funny, I loved this class. Online quizzes are tricky, and there are a lot of readings every week that you absolutely have to do, so you'll have to dedicate time to the class. It's perfect for someone who wants a good overview of the approaches to personality, though. Do ALL the work and you'll be fine.

Love Heesacker! He's an awesome lecturer and the readings are actually pretty interesting. The quizzes aren't too difficult and it's not hard to get an A!

Dr. Heesacker is an amazing professor. His lectures are awesome and I learned a lot. It is a lot of reading (this is something new that has just been added) but if you do the readings and thoroughly engage with the info you can get an A. Beware, a 95 is an A. You have to be willing to put in some work but it is well worth it to take his course.

Dr. Heesacker's lectures are entertaining; he enjoys telling interesting stories that relate to the subject. There is no final exam - just 6 online quizzes. For each quiz, you have 25 minutes to answer 25 questions. The class is a lot of work. Expect regular assignments and a lot of reading. About 5-7% of Extra Credit is offered.

Amazing lecturer. Definitely achievable to get an A in this class. If you do all of the readings and go to class you will easily get over 100%. No exams, just 6 online quizzes that are very doable if you read the material. Funny guy, actually makes you want to go to lecture.

Heesacker's definitely a likable guy: he tells funny stories, gives entertaining lectures, and I'm sure that if you're a psychology major, you'll love him. I took this class as an elective, however, so to me, a lot of the work just seemed tedious. You receive 49 textbook assignments throughout the semester and are required to enroll in STEAM.

Heesacker is very fun and interesting to listen to. He gets the class involved in discussion and it can be a very entertaining class. Attendance is mandatory if you want extra credit. There are a lot of readings and no final.

Dr. Heesacker is a great professor and Personality of Psychology is an interesting course. When I took it he gave us extra credit opportunities, tests/quizzes were online (although timed: 25 questions in 25 minutes, and there were reading questions due every few days. Overall, not a difficult course. Go to lecture, he's hilarious and never boring.

Dr. H recently changed up the class, so there are now 18 primary source readings and (I think) 15 timed online quizzes, 15 minutes each. The textbook is online, with the readings in a separate book. Attendance is taken using TopHat every class.

Dr. Heesacker is a great teacher overall. There is a TON of homework but they are graded mostly on just doing them. The quizzes can be difficult at times because it's from an online Pearson textbook; he doesn't make them himself. So stuff he talks about in class is rarely on the quizzes which is frustrating. Extremely easy class.

Great teacher. Hilarious. Easy and rewarding class.

Found out he's the president of Counselling division of APA. Kind of a big deal. Get to know him. He's hilarious in class, and very approachable. Cares a lot about his students' personal lives in conversation. Just don't say anything stupid in class. Was tough starting about because you had to buy 3 different things. Coolest prof. I've ever had.

I absolutely loved him! He was very entertaining but was always somehow on topic. I wish we didn't have to use Excellence University, as it's very time consuming and ultimately pointless, but at least it's easy. The textbook and reader are extremely interesting. The textbook authors have a sense of humor!! Also: no final exam, or any exams.

He's the best prof I've EVER had. Super funny, kind, and VERY intelligent. I would take this class all over again just to spend another semester with him. I wish he taught more classes.

It's a great class if you love psychology. He does give a lot of work, but no tests which is awesome. It's not too much to handle if you space out the work and manage yourself properly, otherwise it is easy to fall behind. Make sure you go to class everyday and pay attention, since there are Top Hat questions relating to the lectures.

Dr. Heesacker is the BEST. His class is so interesting, no exams, only short online quizzes that aren't timed and you can find answers directly in the book. He gives so much extra credit, I had a 91 and ended with a 98. He is definitely the best professor I've ever had and would def take it again.

Dr. Heesacker is by far one of the few passionate psychologists around. This class is a seriously easy A if you do not mind a little work. He may come off a little rough but you will quickly learn to appreciate his candor. Take his course!

Dr. Heesacker is a great lecturer and a really funny guy! I really enjoyed attending his class everyday. Only bad part is the cost of the textbooks but that's true for most college classes.

Assignments are all extremely boring. I don't think we have covered a single thing in this class that was "new" to me. Class is mandatory yet everyone literally plays on their phones/computers. The works is easy, its all online quizzes (you know what that means). Easy A, but mandatory 3 day a week attendance is flat out annoying.

AMAZING!!!! TAKE THIS PROFESSOR If you are looking to be inspired and/or ambiguous about pursuing a career in Psychology, you will indubitably be enlightened! There is a lot of homework, tedious but it's quick. NO exams, just online chapter quizzes. EASY A is you are on top of due dates and do not mind a little monotonous homework.

Great professor who really wants to see help guide the potential psych professors of tomorrow in the right direction. Was always there to help me outside of class and even to just let me pick his brain about topic we covered I was unsure of.

No exams the entire semester, just easy quizzes and homework.

Take this class if you have the chance! Dr. Heesacker is hilarious and makes this class so interesting. He is very interactive with the class and genuinely cares about his students & psychology. No exams, just a lot of busy work but it is definitely an easy A. Attendance is counted towards your grade but I never minded showing up for class anyway.

Dr. Heesacker is a really funny yet knowledgeable professor. He makes sure to make class very interactive, you will almost never be bored. Additionally, there are no exams. All grades are based on homework, attendance, and textbook quizzes (which are easy). As long as you try, you'll get an A. Lectures often get off-topic but you have to go.

Professor Heesacker was an excellent professor! If you have the chance to take him do it! Graded by a couple things (clicker questions at the end of a lecture that are one question, revel quizzes, and other easy assignments) Easy A if you don't forge bout the weekly assignments.

Super easy class. No exams, grades are based off of online quizzes found on quizlet and other easy assignments. There are quizzes you have to take during every class period, but I take it at home without going to class. However, if you DO go to class, he's really funny. Course material is basically AP psych, didn't really learn anything new.

He's one of the very best professors I have ever had. He's funny, he's passionate about the subject.

Not a single thing is graded by Dr. Heesacker, keep that in mind. He has many Teaching assistants so you probably will never need to speak to him. His lectures are very interesting, and he's a funny person. His class was the only class I looked forward to all semester. He's probably the best in the game.

Super cool and approachable guy. It's a huge lecture hall but he highly encourages participation. Tells lots of funny and salient anecdotes that help to illustrate the material and sometimes just give comedic relief. Lots of assignments, but they're all easy. No exams whatsoever, but you will have to read many original psych papers by the big guys

The class has many assignments, but most of them are fairly easy. Grading is super lenient and most of the assignments are basically completion grades. The lectures are super interesting, and I actually enjoyed going to class.

One of the best professors I've had. There are no exams and attendance quizzes for the lectures, but the lectures are interesting and he makes them very funny and entertaining. He interacts a lot with students during lectures which keeps the students focused. 10/10.

Super easy class. You have to pay for the materials in the beginning of the semester but it is so worth it. He knows how to entertain the class and there is no final exam.

Love this man. I took this freshmen fall and therefore went to class at first. Then I realized I could log onto the daily quiz website from my dorm and stopped going. I got a 99.58% with minimal effort. When I did go to lectures I thought they were funny and entertaining. He enjoys interacting with students.

Super interesting but easy going professor, only went to class sometimes as the attendance quiz can be done from anywhere, however when I did go to class it was because Heesacker is funny and engages students during lectures, not a bad way to spend a friday afternoon. Class materials are expensive, but totally worth it to get a good grade.

He's hilarious and the lectures are fun and interactive. Do the homework and Learning Catalytics and you're SET! Easy A and there is no final exam (just quizzes). Guaranteed to have a great time.

Heesacker is a really cool, funny guy. Do the work and you'll get an A. You don't even have to go to class once you figure out how to do learning catalytics online, but I recommend going because they're really interesting. Assignments are easy. No exams. Wish he taught more classes.

Dr. Heesacker was a hilarious professor with tons of helpful TAs. The class is an easy A, but theres a decent amount of busy work. Still would recommend it. Easy 3000+ level class.

Dr. H is such a sweet professor. There are no exams for this course and grades are based on. homework assignments and lecture participation points. The class is a bit confusing in the sense that there are 2 textbooks, an online platform, and sometimes no clear instructions. But TAs are helpful in clearing it up. Would recommend!

Dr. Heesacker was a really good professor who is very passionate about the psych of personality. This class very interesting, impactful, and easy. It can really help shape you into the self you want to be and motivate your goals. Beware of the textbooks costs though, the digital textbook, squarecap, and a reader are required from UF All- access.

He is the sweetest man ever. He really loves what he is teaching. The only problem I had with this class was that it was about $300 outside of tuition, which was crazy for materials I felt we could have used other things for for cheaper.

Dr. H is such a sweet professor. The class itself is really easy but is filled with an extreme amount of busy work and it is pretty unorganized. There are no exams. Also, you'll be spending about $200 or so on textbooks which I found to be ridiculous. Overall a really easy class if you can spare a bit of money for it.

kindest most caring professor I've had at UF. If I could take this class again, I would.

Dr. Heesacker was an amazing professor, I highly recommend him and the class! It was an easy A. I learned so much about myself and how to better interact with others. You can tell he really cares about his students. A lot of the assignments for the class were centered around setting SMART goals to improve ourselves.

Dr. Heesacker was an amazing professor! He knew so much and made lectures really entertaining! There was only weekly homework in this class that was super easy (find on quizlet) and personal to your life (so no wrong answers!). Instructions were sometimes unclear, but he was flexible. Class is expensive if you're paying out of pocket/no fin aid.

Lots of easy 100% hw assignments, in-lecture quizzes. He was really nice and friendly and enjoys debating/answering questions during class. Some boring assignments, and the in-class quizzes are super short so you need to know the info (easy) and have stable WIFI. Sometimes class starts late, sometimes early. Class info interesting.

I love this class! Super easy, dont reaalllyy need to pay attention. There is one multiple choice question every lecture but they are easy. Assignments are easy. 1000% take this class.

Dr. Heesacker's course was very enjoyable. Lectures are interesting and there is a 1 question quiz every class based on lecture that is fairly easy. Chapter quizzes are open book and can be completed until your desired grade. All assignments are non-challenging and easy 100s. Lots of extra credit. Course materials are a bit expensive though.

Super easy course. His lectures are pretty entertaining. All the work is easy. No exams, no final. There are one question quizzes everyday based off the lecture but usually the answer can be found in the power points. There are also chapter quizzes but super easy open book. Easy A as long as you do the work. Highly recommend.

At first I thought this was going to be hell. I was wrong I am in love with professor Martin teaching especially when he provides example from his personal life. This man is amazing. I say get yourself in his class if you can.

Great prof and easy to get an A as long as you do the assignments and attend class to do the end of lecture 1 question quiz. Accessible by Zoom and exceptionally interesting material - really gives you some personal insight. Prof is great and you can ask him questions after class.

Class was mainly run by TAs who were awesome. The class is an overall easy A, the quizzes are the only annoying part bc you only get 10 min and when complaints are made, he says that if we read we should be able to do it in 10 min. They are pretty easy and come directly from book. NO exams. Friday (zoom) classes are mandatory but M and W are not.

Don't listen to people who say this class is difficult. There are no exams and you have the same five assignments every week. It's boring busy work but it is an easy A. Everyone who says he is a terrible professor just choses not to read the syllabus. The only confusing thing is the discussion dates are not set to be due on the right day.

Despite the rest of these reviews I was one of the reachable TAs for this course. It was a bit disorganized, but they are working on revising the TA handbook for this class every semester. I had an unfortunate situation with one student while being a TA for this course and Dr. Heesacker was able to handle it professionally and with so much kindness

This was the first class I ever took at UF and compares to the rest of the courses you are going to take as a psych major, this is one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. He is a wonderful lecturer, and I understand that he can be disorganized but if you come to his office hours, he will always have your back!

CLP2001 was the most beneficial course that I have taken at UF! I was able to use the important time management and goal-setting skills I learned to help me excel in my other courses. Contrary to many of the reviews on this site, the course is very organized and all information can be found in the syllabus. Dr. Heesacker is accommodating and kind.

The course is helpful to address some daily issues such as procrastination and time management. Expect a weekly group discussion, a quiz, and some other easy assignments that won't stress you out too much. Just make sure to read the syllabus carefully and keep an eye on the due dates - they're spread out in different days. My group TA is great.

This class is in the top 3 I have taken at UF! Dr. Heesacker and his TA team truly care about their students and are very helpful. The class is easy to follow if you read the Syllabus; the grading and assignments are very similar each week. There is also an opportunity to collaborate with classmates, which makes the class easier to manage.

I recommend this course to all majors! I was able to develop invaluable goal-setting, time management, motivation, stress management, and study skills that I can use throughout my academic and professional careers. All deadlines and important info can be found in the syllabus, and TAs as well as Dr. H are very helpful and responsive.

Most communication is done through TAs but they are ready and happy to answer questions. There are about 5-7 assignments every week but are essentially the same thing every week. No exams, no essays. Easy A, just do your work.

The class is very easy and the professor is an easy grader. There is a lot of busy work and the course is a little unorganized but still very easy to do well.

Class is useful if you're truly interested in personal growth. If not, it's a lot of busy work that's hard to keep up with. Wouldn't take if you just need an easy A.

This was an easy online class. I liked the topics we learned about but there is a lot of small assignments over the course of the semester. Definitely worth taking though.
