Heim gave us extra credit opportunities, and his lectures kept me interested. Super smart guy, and I am taking two more of his courses. His tests are straight from the notes too.

This guy is way to smart to be teaching here. Went to school at Cambridge ,England. I feel like half of the other facualty at this university got their degrees from some crappy online community college. But this guy is the real deal

Amazing teacher. His classes are easy, as long as you take notes and pay attention. Very knowledgeable and is extremely helpful. My favorite teacher so far. If you're a Poli Sci/Law major, this is the professor for you.

10 minutes of notes, 40 mins of lecture. Some think he is boring but if you are a polsci/law major, you will be interested in what he has to say. does not take attendance and does not use d2L, but tests are straight off the notes so go to class and take them. really funny guy but also VERY smart and a good guy to have as a reference or advisor

Taking a class with Dr. Heim will make you want to enroll in all of his classes. Every class follows the same format: 10min of note taking, followed by a 40min lecture on the notes. If you attend class and pay attention you're guaranteed to do well. Tests are EASY and stem from the notes directly. He's the funniest prof ever. Joe Heim is a legend.

Professor Heim is a great Professor and a real gem as a human being. He made history come alive with great stories about all the characters that built into the global economic system we have today. I wish I could take him again but I graduated last semester.

I have taken almost every class he teaches at Cal and he is my absolute favorite Professor! He gives you all the notes on the board at the beginning of class and lectures for 40 minutes. He tells a ton of jokes during class all of which are pretty funny, until you have heard the same one 50 times from continuously taking his class. Joe Heim EPIC

I am a political science major and he was the first teacher in college I got and was honestly scared at first, but after the first ten minutes I found out that he is by far the best teacher so far. Great lectures and notes and he also reviews at the end of each class to help with exam points.

Lecture every day of class. Notes every day of class. Tests were tricky if you don't study the whole week for them. If you taking it as an elective and want an easy class, I do not recommend.

His lectures are very well done. Overall, he is probably the best professor I have had at Cal, and you should take him for whatever classes you can. Unlike with most professors at Cal, you'll actually learn from him.
