I love this professor. She is a great teacher and gave me a great start to my history degree. She knows her stuff.

her classes are challenging and her grading policy is beyond fair. her tests are all written essays that she grades on what you hav learned. excellent teacher

Great teacher, but extremely high-strung. Too emotional and confrontational with students. She knows her stuff, though.

great teacher- first impression was femminist but i was wrong- all test are blue book and you will get writers cramp on them- they also may only be 5 questions but you will take the whole class-great talks in class also

THE BEST PROFESSOR, PERIOD. SHE IS THE BEST HISTORY TEACHER IN THE WORLD, SO TOP THAT!

Yes, I will top that. Dr. Heller is THE BEST PROFESSOR IN THE WORLD! Thank you.

Tuff good, But can play favorites at times. I never spent more then 30 minutes on her test and still earned an A!!! classes '92-'93.

dr.heller is a very good professor, she explains everything in great detail and goes out of her way to help students understand better

Very nice lady, but she's very hyper! She likes to call on people randomly so it's good to read the work she assigned. She is very blunt if you give an answer she is not looking for she will def. let you know.

Great teacher. Had her last semester. Her test are very fair, all essays but not that bad at all.

Great Prof, totally inspiring and informative. Would jump at the chance to take another class with her!

Learned a lot. Good teacher, very knowledgeable. Plays favorites a lot and is totally in love with herself. Talks about herself a lot. Rude if she doesn't like you or if you don't kiss her butt. I wouldn't take her again but I did learn a lot from her class about American Women. Not unbearable.

great person...class is a little hard of understanding unless u like history. She made me like history. she is a verrrry easy grader and she is a sweet heart..good class reccommend it to everyone

Blue-books on all tests & some participation required. Professor has a scattered manner, but lets you know what's on the tests, gives lots of opportunities to improve your grade (ie. participation and e.c.) & shows many videos.

WHISTLEING WILL DRIVE YOU MAD! But manages to keep a good discution and is reasonable with makeups and extra credit.

Dr. Heller was a good teacher, but she was hard... yet she was fair & gave you many chances to bring up your grade... when a person walked into the room when they were late she would always say something fair, but picky

I thought Dr. Heller was an excelent teacher.

Dr. Heller is an excellent professor and highly respected. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about what she teaches. Makes the honors students feel special and keeps students interested. Good teaching skills and you can learn alot from her essay tests. If you take her class seriously, show up and study hard you will do well.

Had her for HIS167 and liked her... If you come into class with a good attitude and don't goof off she would have no reason to "bother" you. No professor likes a class clown. Respect her and she'll respect you back. She may be a bit narcissistic and whatnot but she's a pretty darn good professor and knows her stuff.

I have taken Dr. Heller three times for three different classes. She is incredibly knowledgeable in women's history and U.S. history. People tend not to love her because she doesn't just HAND you an A, you have to earn it. However if you put the time into the class (reading etc.) you'll actually learn something and you'll be a better person for it.

good teacher you will learn from her shes a ver smart woman

Dr. Heller is awesome! I felt empower as she would ask in her class with all the knowlegde I gain in her class.

I had Prof Heller for US II, she does go a bit off topic but is extremely intelligent in her field. Always willing to answer questions and does prefer a lot of writing on essays. Show up, show a lil respect and no phones. I got an A in her class and would def take her again for another history class.

Dr. Heller is the best!! I have learned more from her than any other professor! She is very fair, and cares about teaching you. If you come to class prepared, pay attention, and show some respect, you will have no problems. All test are blue book, so she really wants to find out what you've learned. I've taken her twice, and will do so again!

Dr. Heller is an excellent instructor and brings American history alive with her personal comments. It is important to pay attention in class, take complete lecture notes and to supplement lectures with recommended textbook. She is fair and understanding and is available to help. I recommend her class to serious students.

It is important for student to attend class, take notes, and read textbook. It is also important to be respectful. Dr. Heller was available for assistance and instructed well. Student success is not possible without effort.

I've taken Dr. Heller for 2 classes so far, and was highly disappointed I was unable to get into her minorities class. I see alot of unfair critics on here. If you come prepared, and pay attention, you should have no problems taking her class. I've found, those who do not like her, are the ones who expect to be handed an A without giving the effort

I loved Dr. Heller's classes. She is very fair, and always willing to give extra help. For those who would say she goes off topic, those times are usually intertwined with the course work, and current events. I would highly recommend her courses for any serious history student! I look forward to taking her other classes!

Dr. Heller is a great teacher. She is highly skilled in her field, and always willing to give extra help. I also enjoyed her class projects, two group readings, and immigration reports were a lot of fun. Anyone who loves history should definitely take her classes. I learned more in a semester with her, than any teacher I've had before.

You have to show up to class to get the lecture notes: she doesn't post them on blackboard. Lectures are the main points of the book &the chapters you are required to know. Very passionate about teaching and cares about you learning. Test are open ended but gives outline of info that will be on the test. Just put time into studying&you will be fine

She's a little cooky. Gives long PowerPoint lectures. Just take notes and you'll pass the tests. They are blue book tests but are straight from her powerpoints. The class is boring but she is a pretty fair grader and there is only 1 project and 3 tests. If you need help she usually answers quickly. If you need a humanities elective take her

She's a sweet lady, but very hard to understand. She puts stuff on the test she didn't discuss fully. If you skip class you would be screwed for the test, because she has classroom classroom discussion that she puts on the test. If you take good notes it's an easy A.

She is very nice and fun professor. She's a character to say the least. She does required the book, but I didn't get it because I already know most of the things. She reads from it in class so you can get by. Her blue books tests are easy. You can just write in short sentences. I was on her good side so maybe that's why I haven't had a bad experien

I really enjoyed Dr. Heller's Women's history course. Her lectures are very interesting. As long as you pay attention and attend the class you will do well.

Dr. Heller is one of the most interesting teacher I've ever had. She is able to explain the material in many different ways in order to help students. I am really impressed by the depth of knowledge she has. I recommend to take History of American Women with her.

listen carefully to everything she says during lecture- it will most likely be on your exams. a bit sarcastic but i think she is a great professor.

Dr. Heller is truly a real gem in the professor world, she got her degree from Columbia. I had her for History of Minorities and she was amazing. Her lectures involve each and every person in the class. Come to class with information to share and you can participate in the discussion. So far I got an A and B+ on her written tests with one left togo

Professor Heller is a wonderful. I loved coming to her class and listening to her lectures. Shes very passionate about what she teaches and it shows. Shes very clear when it comes to assignments and what she expects from you. Exams are tough, but if you pay attention in class and do the readings, youll do well in her class. Highly recommend.

She uses PowerPoint slides to provide specific points of the lecture. Professor Heller will go into more detail about the specific points, so pay attention during lecture. If you study the material she specifies in the study guide for the tests, you'll pass the exams. Read the chapters and you'll get an A.

I really love her class. She explains everything in detail and always tell you exactly what to study for a test! Test are easy and the 20th Century history course was very well prepared!She uses slide shows, films and books . She has so much knowledge and love for history. I definitely recommend her class!

Professor Heller was great. She was definitely different and tended to run off track but her class was very informative and intriguing especially if you are into Women's history. The only thing I wish we learned more of was African American Women history. Prof Heller is kind, funny, and very knowledgeable. I would recommend taking her class.

This is my second class with this professor. She is always positive and does encourage conversation which can lead to discussions off the topic but that is one of the things I enjoy about her lectures. I believe her interjection during presentations are meant to help a student who is missing a point. I would recommend any class she teaches.

Prof. Heller is an excellent professor. As long as you pay attention and complete the assignments you will do well. Prof. Heller knows a lot about Women's history and she makes the class interesting.

As long as you put effort into your work and participate you will do fine. She is a nice lady and cares for her students.

Professor Heller seems difficult at first, but after one or two class meetings it became clear that she really wants her students to succeed. Participate in her discussions and show that you care about your grade and she will grade you well. Come to class with the reading done so you don't sound like an idiot.

Prof. Heller is very good as a professor. She literally tells you everything you need to know before any test or quiz. You would have to be a very lazy student to fail one of her classes. If she calls on you it's in your best interest to know what you're talking about. She can seem to be mean at times but if you get to know her she's very nice.

Professor Heller only assigned 4 homework assignments throughout the class. She encouraged us to buy the textbook and other reading materials, which I did not, still ending up with a B+. She doesn't let you turn things in late, which is fair, given that there are 4 homework assignments with almost a month given to work on each.

This class is pretty easy if you just follow instructions. Everything is clearly stated on the syllabus/announcements. She lists out everything you should focus on when studying for tests and as long as you pay attention to lectures, you don't really even have to read the textbook. Don't miss too much class and be attentive/participate a bit

She can come of mean but in my opinion she just ask basic things of her students: come on time, do not use your phone, do not leave class every second, and just be involved. Quizzes are straight forward and she tells you everything you need to know. If you remain respectful and listen no reason why this class should be an issue.

She is lecture heavy, but has a wealth of knowledge, connecting history to current events. She requires participation, pay attention & it isn't difficult. It is topic heavy & she requests uninterrupted class time. She is enthusiastic and less structured, a refreshing change for a ridged topic like history. She thoroughly reviews for essay tests.

Professor Heller deeply cares about history, thats why she's tough when it comes to grading. Overall the work load was understandable since it was online, but if you email her questions or even visit her on her office hours for help, you will do just fine. (P.S. make sure you give details on the assignments, she wants details!!!).

Great professor if you enjoy history. She was very clear on the criteria for the class. Put great time and effort into her lectures to make sure we got the most out of them. The test she gave out were good and meant to challenge you. The lectures she gave were very straight to the point and very enjoyable for me. Would take again given the chance.
