Great Teacher! Easy class, If you read the material you will definitely get A in the class.

Mr. Hefner was a great professor. His lectures were long and was somewhat boring tho. The examples in class were just like the exam. In classes quizzes were a reflection of what was taught and they were great examples for studying for exams. I would definitely take him again.

Not a chem major, but I am pursuing a degree in the sciences. That being said this class was not a cake-walk. The book was a valuable resource when I needed clarification on a topic. Lecture was boring (but I think all lectures are). Lab is where this professor shines. I personally found him funny, but not everyone has the same sense of humor.

Everything you need to know for this class is either in the syllabus or the lectures (which he posts for students). This course is straightforward and understandable if you show up and work the example problems he gives you. He was very helpful when I visited his office hours and provided additional resources (videos) when I needed a boost.

Uses WebAssign. Mandatory attendance (school's policy). Tests are mix of previous quizzes, HW, and hard unique questions. Serious about lab safety (you will be booted if unprepared). Uses text, videos, handouts, demos, anecdotes. Has no patience for those bad at basic math (check prereqs). NO EX-CREDIT. NO CURVE. READ THE CLASS BLACKBOARD PAGE.

The math in the class is waaay too hard even if he does give you a sheet of all the formulas you need to use on the exams. You have to remember which formulas to use and what they mean which is sadistic. Don't skip class; he WON'T go over everything you missed one-on-one in his office.

Does NOT actually offer extra credit assignments. He's helpful but only goes so far for a subject like chemistry. Gives zeros if you miss and do not make up a lab. Uses webassign (yuk). Enforces significant figures in lab (double yuk). Does NOT allow shorts and sandals in lab during the summer which seems odd.

I think he takes off points for being a little late to class and lab. Definitely takes off points for forgetting your lab goggles. Also if you are real late to lab he will send you home and give you a zero for the lab. Don't take this guy if you have traffic or if its at 8am.

NO EXTRA CREDIT IN THIS CLASS! I missed a lab and was unable to make it up and he wouldn't give me the opportunity to do an extra credit assignment to make up the lost points.

Although the lecture is quite boring but Mr. Heffner provides lots of practice questions and his power point is pretty straightforward and informative. Homework on webassign with tutorials is also helpful. Tests are not that hard. And Mr. Heffner is wonderful in labs. I like him!

Doesn't matter who teaches it: You have to give a presentation in this class! This class is nothing like CHM151 because the amount of math is in-flipping-sane! If you do not need this class, DO NOT TAKE IT! Other wise he is somewhat amusing and always sticks to the schedule in the syllabus (read the syllabus). Uses WebAssign which is not a plus.

This class was ROUGH! Between in the insane amount of equations we have to use, the group project, and the lab write-ups on WebAssign, it was a wonder I passed. Warning: If you don't like WebAssign or a lot of lab calculations, don't take this class, EVER!

Nice enough guy, I suppose. He lets you use any edition of the textbook they list. I never opened mine. The lab practical was totally awful, and worth 5% of the grade. Don't take this class if you don't like WebAssign. Both my chem instructors used WebAssign and I think they all do.

Nice teacher but don't be late for class; he doesn't like that. The amount of work required for the lab seems a bit extreme. There is NO extra credit available if you need a boost at the end of the semester. It is nice that he lets you buy older versions of the textbook to save money. But the $40 for WebAssign is a pain.

Can get a bit testy at times and needs to work on his lecture voice, but he's a really nice guy as long as you don't test his patience with basic math. He puts a study guide for each chapter at the end of each chapter PowerPoint which turned out to list exactly what I needed to know on the exams (just not exactly what questions were on the exams).

Best chemistry teacher ever! Helps you at every step. Lots of office hours. Provides additional resources.

Great prof! Would take him again if I didn't already pass with flying colors due to his help.

Chemistry was a real intimidating subject. This guy makes made the material accessible and interesting. He was always very open to students' questions. He did tend to stumble over some of his lectures, but in general the class was a lot of fun. Outside of class he answered a lot of my off-topic question about the industry and day-to-day chem.

Mr. Heffner is a nice and funny guy. However, he can really be a smartass and sometimes he doesn't explain things well. He is also not always helpful when you ask a question but he is better than many professors.

I was actually there for the "Time Machine" convo. In Mr. Heffner's defense the student he said that to did absolutely zero work in the class and didn't deserve a D let alone a C. This prof is a solid choice if you want clear concise course reqs. And he actually answers questions rather than say "figure it out yourself" or "look it up."

If you go to his office hours asking him to explain everything he just covered in lecture, don't tell him it's because you fell asleep in class. He won't help you.

Great choice for chem. He gives u the table of constants + some bonus points on the tests. Tests are very straightforeward. He doesn't always explain things very well but he tries. He doesn't curve the grade but he does drop a few things. Use his Ppoints, textbook, + Webassign HW, + you'll pass. Lab HW can be time-consuming so don't delay.

Had him when I retook the class. Lays out all the topics at the beginning and end of each chapter. Goes over each type of problem step-wise and in detail during lecture as well as during review days. Gave me feedback on what I had done wrong so I wouldn't fall behind. Read the example problems out load so the illiterate students could follow along

Holy cow this was a hard class, but that was expected since it was chem 2. This prof gives you sooo much help that you cannot fail as long as you know you have to work hard to understand the stuff and practice the problems. Beware that the department requires a presentation for this class (not just this prof).

He is about the only professor here that will let you make up a missed exam (within reason of course); the rest will just give you a zero and make it your dropped exam. I swear he will bend over backwards to help students in an emergency. Just don't take his class if you fall asleep in class easily..

Does not offer extra credit (even if you are failing or borderline), BUT THEN NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE IN THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT. But there are bonus questions on the exams (which is a curve of sorts), bonus points for completing the homework ahead of time, and bonus for participation. Getting an A requires work, a B is easy, fall asleep: get a C.

Prof. Heffner one of the best Chemistry teacher at wake tech. I was worried at the beginning of the course because of some rates here, but the reality was different. He such a smart and intelligent guy. I highly recommend him.

Professor Heffner is like a nerdy teddy bear. I really enjoyed CHM 151 with him and would highly recommend taking his class to any student. He can go fast in the lectures, but the use of his poll questions in class and the WebAssign homework really solidifies the material. He provides extra credit opportunities on every test, and the tests are easy

He is extremely helpful. He makes the material easy to understand. There is a lot of computer work so stay ahead. I highly recommend him

I really liked this guy. I think people get turned off because they want "warm and cuddly" but he is too awkward for that. He is really helpful if you ask the right questions. He wont let you get away with just asking for "help" or "what's the answer." He wants to understand where YOU are having trouble, so he asks YOU questions..

. Presents clear objectives and expectations for each module. Very flexible when it comes to missed exams and emergencies. Don't be fooled, not an easy A. Expects everyone to understand chemistry as if they are majors. Very accessible when I needed help, but would not just answer my questions without getting to the source of my mistakes.

His lectures are funny and simple to understand, and he gives you exactly what you need to know for the tests. Do the practice problems & stay on top of homework, and it's not that bad. Somewhat picky about stuff like sigfigs on the labs, but he's passionate about what he teaches which makes the class more enjoyable..

Professor heffner is far best chemistry teacher, i hated chemistry and I was worst in it, but he explained it in a very easy way. Although he speaks and writes very fast but if you have questions he will take good care of it and make sure that u understand it. It was an online class.

I drove 45 minutes to main campus just to take him. It was worth it. He is monotone, but is good at explaining things. Gives study guides for each test, and practice problems before each test. Labs are pretty straight forward. No lab practical. There are webassigns but they are not overbearing. He doesn't believe in busy work. Taking again.

Loved taking his class! He is very organized and well prepared. He is very good at dumbing down difficult chemistry concepts down. It is chemistry so no matter what its a hard class. But he gives you amazing notes to study and lots of outside resources. I studied the notes and got an A without opening the book.

He is very passionate about chemistry and really knows his stuff. His lectures are information-heavy but very helpful. Pay attention and ask questions. He has high expectations for labs so make sure you stay on top of your work and ask questions at office hours.

Chem 152 is a math heavy course and he wastes no time quickly moving through material. It's easy to fall behind, however, he is more than willing to go into detail if asked. Lots of dry humor chemistry jokes. He is someone you want to have as a professor.

I had Prof Heffner for the summer class. He is an excellent teacher and I wish I could take him for all of my chemistry classes. If you know how to do the worksheets he gives you then you'll do well on the tests. He works plenty of examples during class.

I took his class over the summer. Hybrid. His videos are all you need. They were very easy to understand and organized. If you put effort into this class you will receive a good grade. Very helpful professor. Take him!!!

Mr. Heffner has realistic expectation for the amount of work and the difficulty of work that he assigns and so long as you study and keep up with the work it will not be overbearing. The lectures themselves tend to be rather cold however all the material covered in them will be on the homework and quizzes, no more no less.

Does good explanations and has clear answers to questions, but is extremely lecture based.

Prof Heffner is an amazing professor. Wake Tech has good professors, but he is by far the most prepared and clear. His teaching style is easy to follow. He often starts with the big picture which is very helpful to me. He is respectful to his students and requires it in return

Excellent instructor. Very lecture-heavy, but they are usually interesting and easy to follow. The units do not build on each other much, so if you get lost in the material, it's not a huge deal. Grades tests forgivingly. If you do the assignments, you'll get an A. Highly recommend.

Prof is amazing! Chemistry is hard and if you're not good in math you're going to have to work harder. This class is lots and lots of math. However he explains things clear and will always rework problems to make sure everyone understands. There is A LOT of homework and extra credit but show up, do the work and you'll do just fine..

.Not the easiest A ive got but not the hardest. The homework and the extra credit boost were vital. Four exams and a final and NONE of them are dropped. 75 min to take exams and 2 hour final. Doesn't grade participation or attendance.

This is NOT an exciting course not like high school. You dont really learn chemistry just a bunch of math. Dont take if you dont like math or arent already interested in chem. Take biology because it is more relavent. Exams are worth half the course. But the extra credit can boost a whole half a letter grade!

Third time taking this course and he was the ONLY prof who gave extra credit. Saved my grade! Unlimited extensions on homework. Labs were a pain sooo many calculations! BEWARE that fourth exam it is a KILLER. Takes attendance but I never saw it part of the grade..

hilarious he sends all his email replies at 4:20, him course vibe good. he got all my Metalica jokes and didn't mind I was late a few times

.Best professor, easy A. Was really helpful in his office hours. Pretty chill in lecture. The extra credit was rough but really helped.

This class is very easy to get a good grade in if you show up to lecture and lab. Some of the units are tougher than others but as long as you're completing the homework, online quizzes, and lab reports you should be able to get a B in the course. He is good lecturer and always willing to help.

really easy course, prof is good at conveying concepts and offers a lot of extra credit that is easy to acquire.

.Great professor! lectures are heavy but helped me a lot in his office hours. Lots of extra credit!

I was really struggling in the class but prof Heffner really helped me out. I really wanted to drop a test when I was too sick to take it but he let me take a makeup instead when I got better. Office hours and the tutoring center can save you.

Took mr heffner for both 151 and 152 and he is the best prof I ever had. His tests are easy for a chem class. He has clear test expectations and is real open to questions. He is also hilarious. For exams he lists all the topics and calculations that will be covered. Lost of bonus questions on the exams and extra credit quizzes..

Prof. Heffner is genuinely a very fun teacher! Don't be afraid to ask questions and definitely ask often if you feel even slightly confused. Chem is a difficult subject but he explains it as clearly as possible. He also laughs easily which does make the atmosphere of the class feel welcoming. His handwriting can be a bit difficult to read though...

Prof Heffner is a great professor! He is really passionate about his class and his students. He genuinely wants you to succeed and gives you plenty of opportunity to receive extra credit. If you mess up in this class, it's your own fault. I would highly recommend him!

Beware the pop quizzes! If you dont get to class on time you will miss them. But gives lots of extra credit and exam bonus questions. Drops homework and lab scores to boost your grade! I asked to make up a missed exam but he said that would just be my dropped exam. Doesn't allow makeup labs and claims the school doesn't allow it..

By far the best Professor I have had! Hes very patient and always ready to help! Hes hilarious and very nice and makes orgo fun!

.Dr heffner is amazing! If you have the chance to take his course in-person do it! He provides amazing exam reviews and is available for help whenever needed. This was my first chemistry class and was super nervous. I'm so glad I had him as my teacher! I actually really enjoyed learning new/difficult concepts. No quizzes. Only weekly HW & 5 exams.

Prof. Heffner is passionate about chemistry, and that is evident in his lectures. General Chemistry I and II are power point heavy classes, but Organic Chemistry I is mostly him introducing and explaining concepts with a whiteboard. I have enjoyed every class I have taken with him, and I feel the content has always been well explained.
