A very kind professor who grades nicely but class lectures are so chaotic and your only chance is to read the textbook and learn the material on your own. The tests can be quite difficult for this reason

It started out a little rough, but in time things settle in. It is a different style of class to what I was used to, but once I adapted to it things became much easier. You are supposed to read the textbook, but I didn't and still got an A in the class. She offers lots of extra credit to help out people who need it.

She was funny, interesting, took material right from book. Offered study sessions and answered any questions. Sure she changed her mind on some due dates for small assignments, but not a big deal. I got an easy B and learned a lot to prepare myself for Uchem1

Corrects herself often. The students in class are correcting her work constantly. Uncle Pat knows her chemistry, but doesn't know how to teach it.

Nice and likes to see everyone do well so gives a lot of opportunities to boost the grade a little. (This is not to say that chemistry is easy. It still takes work.)

She is a good teacher and her polymer chemistry class is very useful. Her take-home quiz and in-class quiz definately will help you to plan your study for this class.

I really enjoyed U___ Pat as a professor. Practice exams and homework prepared you for exams. She was helpful in her office hours and I would recommend going to any extra study session she offers.

Scatterbrained? A little. Class was overwhelming at first, but once things clicked it wasn't so bad. She is willing to help people, just ask. One more thing, if you think she's bad, pray to God that you don't have Sara Green!!

Horrible teacher. You're better off skipping class and spending that time studying on your own. Avoid her if you can.

Dr. Heiden is an awful teacher! Its not that she does not put the effort in, she is just plain not a good teacher! She tries, but she can't seem to convay the material at all and does not seem to have the command for chemistry that her resume would suggest. My advice: Skip lecture, read the book and go to the SI sessions!

ok, the first two tests I attended lectures, and got a c. After the third exam, I stopped going to lectures, read the book, and got a B on the third exam. I did the same thing for the final and ended up with a b in the class. You probably dont have a choice to not get her, but it was STORYTIME WITH UNCLE PAT!!!

here is a tip for anyone taking her class: dont go to the lectures. you can learn alot more on your own, and you wont get stupider by listening to her. good luck with exams..they suck.

Not the worst ever, I can understand her. I just wish she would be a little more on the ball and not tell stupid stories.
