Very knowledgeable. Double Doctorate. Difficult class but if you have to take it he's the man

He is indeed well schooled in the subject, but he also grades like he thinks everyone else is too. I would recomend his class only if the grade is less important than what you learn.

easiest history i've EVER taken. if you take this class, take it online though. he gives you all the questions to the final and midterm beforehand so you can easily ace them.

One of the best teachers I have had.Most everything that is on the test, he discusses in lectures.He is open to answer all questions and is very helpful.The tests are difficult but he gives you more than adequate time and materials to prepare.He grades fairly and based on one's writing abilities.

I took his class online, and it was by far the EASIEST history class i have ever had. besides 3 tests and one 7 page paper, you only have to write short essays or essay responses once a week...other then that, theres reading, but you can just skim and be completely fine.

I took this class online and it wasn't very difficult. You have to read a lot and really can't procrastinate, if you do all that you're guaranteed to pass with a good grade. He gives all exam questions in advance, and although there's a ton of them, you still get to find answers before the actual test.

He lectures for a majority of classes but will occasionally throw in a video. Take good notes in class,read your text and you should get an A no problem. He gives out 50 multiple choice questions and like 7 essays before the test, 25 of the multiple choice questions are on the test and 2 of the essays. Basically he gives you the test.

Challenging instructor, to be sure, but fair enough. I took this course online in the spring of my junior year and did ok. Just make sure you read the text do what he says, and you'll be fine.

k their is a really easy way to get an A in his class if you KNOW WHAT TO DO! basically, you go online to the class website and upload the TEST Questions and the the ESSAY questions and just study that the whole time! yes its true he has all the test questions online, and then just figure them out in class and youll PASS!

Heinrichs's a GREAT teacher! He lectures lots but uses music/visual aids 2 help students understand time periods they're studying. Gives a REFRESHINGLY UNBIASED approach to history. The TESTS are 25 multi-choice questions& 1 essay question. He gives60 questions that could be on the test beforehand & picks 25 of them-same deal w essays! LOVED IT!!!!

hes nice funny and has some humor in his lectures but you gotta have a stomach for the lectures, i didn't really read the text book since he memorized the whole thing and said it in class lol which is helpful, also he doesn't care if you as an individual come to class but he will throw in some pop quizzes every once in a while so people come.

I took the online class. Straight forward, weekly essay posting OR response posting. The final paper requires research, get to the library EARLY because other kids will check the books out before you get to them. Online lectures are long. Gives out possible test questions/essay questions ahead of time and picks some from that list.

Great for online classes because you can read the lectures instead of hearing them. Always posts very helpful study guides for tests, and doesn't care if you essays are poorly written as long as they have good content. Knows a lot about american history, is funny, and gives you the history without the bias many other professors and textbooks add.

I took the online course. He's a hard grader, but knows his stuff. You will learn a lot. The online lecture notes wre much more interesting to read than the text, AMERICAN PASSAGES. Gives a list of 60+ multiple choice and 12 essay questions on study sheet for midterm and final. Takes test from those. One big paper and weekly 400-word essays assigne

I think that you really have to have a great attention span for his lectures, but if you pay attention you learn so much!He is a great teacher who really knows his material and is very understanding and helpful. I would take his classes again in a heartbeat!

Very boring and slow talker and very slow mover. He knows alot about history in general, not just certain topics. Lectures every class.

At first I didn't enjoy the online class but towards the end I got the hang of it. Be sure to read American Passages, the lectures, and the articles he provides for the weekly discussions. As long as you know your facts in the discussions,you'll do well.Also for the papers, and use primary sources for those as well.He responds fast to any questions

Smarter than the average bear. This guy knows what he's talking about, possibly as well as Haslam. He gives you 100 Mult Ch questions and takes 25 of them for quizzes. That worked better for me than Haslam's giving a vague idea of what to look for. Either way, I'd reccomend him as highly as Haslam, if not more so. Take his class.

Tim is a great teacher, he's incredibly smart, and despite his quiet demenor, knows more than he lets on. I've had him online and in classroom. I highly recommend taking him in person, as the online class was unremarkable. In person he is dynamic and engaging. Only tests on what he lectures, and he lectures with enthusiasm.

You need to earn your grade. Many say the class is hard, it really isn't. Hard? No. Boring? Yes. He lectures extensively and assigns a lot of reading. HOWEVER, he grades fairly easily. I personally had no interest in history (and still don't) but I aced the class. I earned an A on mid-term, Final, and various essays. Take if if you are dedicated.

He was a very nice guy, and knows history very well. His class wasn't very hard, but you need to keep up with the readings to do good. He gives everyone a fair chance. Honestly, I didn't read one chapter of the book, and just crammed for the midterm and final before hand and got by with a b-. with a little bit of effort, you can do amazing.

Tim really knows his stuff but is not always the best at conveying it to the class. I'm a history major and I generally do very well with it but I found it difficult to register what he said during lectures (which are every, single class period). He is very nice and easy to approach for help though.

VERY UNDERSTANDING. Work:2 essays (or 1 long one), midterm & final (gives 80 mult choice questions & 12 short answers a weke before. Uses those exact questions(40 mult, 5 essay. Use pick 2/5) 4 DQs due throughout quarter.Lecture notes are online and exactly what he says in class. Nice guy and he knows history. very easy class if you do the work.

LOVE him. Such a cute old man. He makes jokes during lectures and its hard not to pay attention.

He was very fair to all the students. Graded fast and had good feedback. Even though it wasn't a fun class to go to I still learned a lot and am happy I took this class. Recommend him for history. Better than some of the other history profs.

great professor! recommend him!

Cool guy, good at teaching. He is very kind and answers questions. The only issue is the speed of the class. His speech is a little slow making the class somewhat long. Over-all good professor though. I would advise taking the class if you are very interested in History.

Heinrichs is the best teacher I've ever had! His texts are interesting, essays aren't too terrible, and is a fair grader. As long as you're willing to put in the effort, and get to know him, you'll have no problem. He's a fun teacher, and makes me excited to go to class everyday. I would most assuredly recommend him!

Still in the midst of this class, which I'm taking online. There's a lot of reading but the textbook is good. Lots of communication about what would be on the midterm and decent (if brief) feedback about my papers. I'll probably get an A or A- but I did work very hard on the essays & paper. Don't expect to get an A without making an effort.

very sweet man. love his class. he definately knows his stuff and keeps me on the edge of my seat about the most boring parts of history. Fair grader, laid back, but I am learning tons! taking his class is very worth your time!!

Since I'm taking this class online, I've never actually met Prof.Heinrichs. However, I believe he is a good teacher and a fair grader. His lectures had me cracking up - good subtle use of humor. Lots of reading, tests decently long, (look for prep sheets before, though!) etc., but he's always willing to clarify grading criteria if you ask him.

Online- I'm surprised he is getting bad reviews! I thought he was great! fair grader, very approachable.to get get a good grade, just do the reading and don't miss deadlines. It's not that hard at all. Half-effort and I've got a 98%. He also offers EC if you ask. This is my easiest class, I have no idea what other people are talking about

He was a great teacher, very easy to understand and get along with. Had an awesome experience in this class. He will meet with you and help you, also IMPORTANT: he gives study guides with the exact same questions and answers that are on the final. Take them, study them and memorize. You'll get a good grade for sure!

Took his online class. He's organized and knows his history. Not very involved with the students online though. This wasn't necessarily bad though. I worked decently hard and got an A.

awesome teacher! he's well prepared for his lectures and wants you to succeed in his class. textbook was frustrating to read during midterm/final because it's not chronological, jumps from different time periods/ events. make sure to keep up with the readings nonetheless.

Took his online summer class. Allot of material covered in the class. There was a ton of reading from the text, but the lectures did a good job of summarizing and highlighting the important information. Grading was average. Overall a good class and decent professor.

For the online class, if you read his lectures, and write the essays on time you will do well. He doesn't give much feedback, but the class format is great. You will learn some interesting stuff, while getting a good grade at the same time. I would recommend him if you need to take history.

This was a challenging course but this professor made it worthwhile because you learn so much in a couple of weeks. Understanding teacher and helpful.
