Heastie is more than a teacher. He's a mentor, dedicated to seeing his students learn through thoughtful discussion and questioning as opposed to grades and exams. His background in psychology,-particularly with relationships-is dense, and he will miss no opportunity to share his wisdom with the class, and with individuals if they so please.

Professor Dr. Heastie is a dedicated professional, passionate about his role, making him an excellent educator. However, the class is not easy, weekly tests and discussion posts, a research paper as the final assignment. It's challenging, so a genuine interest in mental health and human services is crucial. Overall, he's an awesome professor.

Professor Heastie is knowledgeable and the class always had great discussions. However, it is one thing to give advice to students but it is another to completely berate them. He was unempathetic and no one felt comfortable answering questions. He would pressure students into realizing a career in there second year, and would shame them otherwise.

This might be the worst professor I've had at MDC. He's super rude in his emails and makes the class way harder than it should be. He's too lazy to grade assignments, so he has the system grade essays which grades very unfairly. I've been a straight A student so far and this class will likely mess that up. Find another professor if possible.

This class was VERY difficult. It had AI graded writing assignments with hardly any explanation of how or what is needed. Unlimited attempts, but very hard to get an A. There was also a proctored final that had no study guide. In addition, Prof. Heastie was super rude in his emails. DO NOT take this class. This was my only B I've had in college.

Professor Heastie's class is challenging but rewarding. His engaging lectures and real-world examples make the material interesting. Attendance is a must, and unstuckstudy was a great study tool alongside the textbook.

Amazing Professor! It's impressive the amount of knowledge and experiences that he shares that are rich in the content of the course and he manages it in a way that the content just flows. Really good pieces of advice that will impact you in a way that you will see the world with a better perspective.

Overall, great professor with “strict” grading. He will not respond via Canvas Inbox, only email. Easy A as long as you follow instructions for the module discussions. I took this class online and it was mostly discussion posts that weighed about 30%. Make sure you do well on the discussion posts and you shouldn't have a problem!

Make sure you do not have a problem when it comes to the final of his class. I reached out because I did not have an ID to take the final with. He refused to give me a makeup date on my final. He lied to me saying he doesn't have the power to give it to me. I was confirmed that he did have the power. I have proof.

Dr. Heastie is the most phenomenal professor I have ever had in my 25 years of life. There is truly no other teacher that has been so proficient, honest, and inspiring. If you are looking to be mentored and whipped you into shape, look no further. It was an absolute pleasure having Dr. Heastie as my professor and I am forever grateful for him.

I loved how strict he was with attendance, seating, who was in the room, and whether you were actually listening. The class itself was easy, so he expected everyone to participate and be present. His lectures were excellent he had us all pondering life because he's just that good. I learned a lot about the world, especially about relationships
