HE IS A VERY NICE GUY BUT I AM NOT CRAZY ABOUT HIS WAY OF TEACHING!
its amazing that with more than 100 students he finds the energy to be that good
GOOD: Nice guy, helpful and listens to your comments. BAD: Obsessed w/ groupwork

Really fun and easy. Nice guy!

HE IS THE BEST LITERATURE PROF. IN PACE. TAKE HIS CLASS. IT'S FUN AND EASY AND YOU CAN REALLY LEARN SOMETHING.
awesome teacher... best teacher in PACE for LIT at least.
WORST PROFESSORS EVER!! CANT TEACH FOR **** AND BASICALLY THERE IS NOTHING IMPORTANT HE TEACHES THAT WILL IMPROVE UR WRITING OR ANY READING SKILLS. IT JUST A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. YOU GO TO CLASS TO PLAY, LAUGH, AND ACT FOR SOME STUPID PLAY.
HE IS A NICE TEACHER..AND CLASSES ARE FUN..THIME GOES BY REAL FAST AND THE BOOKS READ ARE NOT BORING..JUST 3 BOOKS
He is a great teacher. If you do the work you will get an A.
Highly recommended! Interesting lectures and great selection of books. Group work is a plus.
DO the work and you will definitely get an A
He is not bad, but he doesnt like Asian much..so if u r Asian, Good LUck!!
Do the work you get an A. A+ teacher
Great professor, but do your work on time.
I really like him, but he should be definite in his demands. Today he wants this and tomoroow he wants the opposite, that screws up my mind! Very intelligent and knows who is who, so you will never cheat him! I improved, though a LOT OF WRITING!!!!!!!
Seems tough in the beginning, but then slack off way too much. Not very helpful. Also, he lower grades for encouragement, I was one of the victim.
i feel like i've time traveled back to kindergarten. Treats the class like a bunch of kids but if you have 6 classes to worry about, who cares. His choice of books is ehh ok, they're all about love. Nothing too sophisticated but definetly not a bad class.
TONS of work!! Don't even think you may sit back and relax. A lot of peer editing in class which helps the time pass faster, BUT can't do anything for your essay.
Great guy. Easy teacher. Gives a lot of work but there are no wrong answers for the writing assigned. Does not bore you with a lot of reading
IF you cant get an A with this guy theres something wrong with you! He is the best!
Super good. not recommended for lazy people
He is a very direct teacher and a lot of fun. His book choices seem to be on the romantic side but are interesting. Very, very intelligent. A fun course.
He is great
He is great and a lot of fun taking his class..take him
He is one of the best professors I have had at Pace and believe me when I say Pace has some bad profs. He is kind and gives attention to all. If you have to take english TAKE HEYDEN.
He's really hands on and he cares about his students learning. He's pretty passive too.
dunt take him if u r asian. Tons of work. Not trying to help but send people to writing center. He's handsome and nice but that doesn't make a good professor. Dunt be fooled by his appearance.
friendly all the time. but tough grader for asian. You may do well in class but end up with a B. Lots of HWs
Dr. Heyden is a wonderful and intersting professor. These people are wrong when they say he's not helpful. He cares about his students and helping them to improve. Definitely take his class.
nice professor, makes readings interesting. easy to get an A in this class.
great professor. genuinely nice guy who cares about his students. Take him for anything you can!
He is biased. Picks his favorites anf he doesn't teach that well. He lowers your journal papers on purpose even if there are no mistakes. Bad literature professor
Great Professor.Nice personality. Would definetly take him again. Chooses only interesting material. You will not get bored in his classes!

The best professor that I ever had! Take him and you won't get disappointed. This guy is great!
A very nice and intelligent man. I had him 2 years ago for 2 lit classes. probably the nicest guy you will ever meet. Truly enjoys teaching, helps out students, and is a very fair grader.
You will not learn anything. Makes you read stories and type letters to the characters. It is super lame, but an easy A. It is sort of like a creative writing course
He has to be the worst professor for literature and english.He is subtly pompous, super annoying, requires attendance, and has no respect for the minds of his students.Albeit an easy A, the mental "crap" you have to go through to get it is not worth it.No focus on grammar, no personality. Please do not waste your tuition dollars.Lots of busy work
Nice & Friendly & Courteous.

Amazing professor that attempts to really reach out to his students. Does a lot of short essays to help you prepare for the final essay. Very helpful and very friendly.
One of the best professors ive had at pace, i would take him again in a heartbeat. Hes one of the few profs that will teach you exactly how to write an essay in a non-scary tone. Very helpful and wants you to do well, hes very friendly and likes to connect with his students. Highly reccomend.
he is so cool. He made the class so fun and easy to understand. He is truly one of those awesome professor in English Dept.
The best English professor at Pace !! You actually learn how to write well.
A great professor! I took a writing class with him where he taught us how to tutor students and how to improve our own writing. It was extremely helpful. Plus, he's so much fun and he's super nice and tells funny stories about his teaching history.
absolutely awesome professor. made class fun and interesting. an easy A. always willing to help and goes out of his way for his students. textbook he made us buy was never used however, so i recommend to wait and not buy it right away.
I would say that Dr.Heyden is probably the best professor here at PACE. He leads by example and shows you the tiniest details that make a big difference in your writing. Take him at all costs if you can.
In all fairness, he is a nice guy. But his teaching techniques do not make you a better writer.
Ok he is not a mean guy at all but don't expect your final grade to be what itreally is. I got a B and should have had an A and when asking how he got this grade, 6 e-mails and a meeting with the chair and still no answer. The syllabis is a joke, he favors international students, and will not grade accordingly. Nice, but not worth it.
i love him !
we studied about marriage and love in his literature class. Since it's a writing enhanced class, we have to hand in papers for the 5 plays we studied in class. He got me really interested with all the plays, you have to do skit,live performace from the plays as well, very engaging!
Best professor so far, group projects were fun, I ended up doing a lil bit of acting. So much fun and interesting plays. Watched movies. Overall awesome class. Just do your work. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR.
Overall, he's an easy professor. He makes you sit in groups every class (same people). You read your work outloud sometimes. He may occasionally ask you to read outloud from the book. I'd say his class is fairly fun and easy. Also his grading policy is weird. At the end I recieved an A-.
Such a nice man, love his class.
Great class! He's extremely nice. Two portfolios due: midterm and final. You sit in groups and go over work. Really easy and really fun! I'd recommend him to anyone.
This Professor does his job well. He is willing to assist students when ever necessary. I highly recommend anyone to take his class. If you put a lot of effort into your work, its an easy A.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM! He's very lenient, though he does take attendance and he DEFINITELY knows if you don't come to class. Easy grader. For midterm portfolio, if you don't like your grade, he lets you resubmit for a higher grade [as many times as you want]. Easy A !
I would not reccomend Professor Heyden. Although it was definately an easy class, it wasn't easy in a good way. I learned absolutely nothing, and found myself doing tons and tons of pointless assignments. If you really enjoy english and want to learn about writing (and/or lit) this class will be a huge waste of your time.
