Hates technology and rambles. I missed one exam due to a medical issue and he refused to allow me to make it up resulting in me needing to retake the class. Don't buy the book and definitely don't bring it to class or he'll kick you out for not paying attention to him. Stay away if you can.

Comment:
One of the worst professors I've ever had. If he thinks you're not paying attention he will kick you out of class. His lectures are not interesting. He contradicts himself and the book. There were surprise questions on exams from material that had not been covered. He is right, you are wrong. Do not take him if you can help it.

Comment:
I thought he wasn't that bad. Yes it is true that he is really bad with technology, and he does ramble on about other things, but i found them interesting. His papers were easy to do and the tests are more focused from the book than his lectures. He is a very nice man and I would take him again

Comment:
His knowledge is outdated. He was often late and contradicted what the book was saying which made it very hard to study for the test... I could not hear him and I sat in the first row. He would often mumble and lose track of his thoughts. NIce guy, but its time to retire.

Comment:
EXTREMELY easy A! It is almost impossible to get less than an A on every test, since he curves them all like 20 points extra. I got over 100 on every test. He is definitely a character, and tells funny stories. I liked him alot! He is horrible with technology though.

Comment:
Contradicts the book and says he's right. Tests are based off book and lecture, even though we were told we didn't need the book. Doesn't know how to use technology, especially D2L. You may get a grade lower than what you earned because he won't try to fix it. Doesn't like to be wrong. Easy A if you study, semi-boring lectures. Good luck.

Literally forgot our final. He had to go down and make copies so we started our final 20mins late. When he finally brought them half of the class was missing a page of the test. His response? We'll figure it out. Avoid this professor if you can.

Comment:
My Theories of Personality course was the most disappointing experience that I have had during my education at DePaul. Professor Heilizer did not have a clear or coherent pedagogy in his approach to teaching this class. His lectures are meandering, & his interest in teaching the course is the same as that of a student checking Facebook in class.

Comment:
If you like disorganized teaching styles and instead teaching yourself the material then this is the professor for you. Many comments here state that the tests in this class are easy and I hope their right. In an hr and a half we only covered 3 of Freud's psychosexual stages. For a level 300 class I expected so much more. Moves way too slow on material everyone should have covered in intro classes and 200 classes. Teaching materials are out of date.

I loved coming to his classes. He goes off on tangents but they are always super interesting. He's not one to make exceptions, but if you follow his rules and study the study guides, you do great.

Probably one of the worst I have had at DePaul. He is rude, and his lectures are dry and unclear. His methods are confusing!

Good professor. Ridiculous at times but definitely knows his stuff and has many experiences to share. If you are a dedicated student and actually make the effort to attend an $800 class you are paying for, you'll be fine. Talks on the quiet side so it's difficult to hear him. Papers were super easy. Exams difficult but curves them well.

Comment:
Fred is absolutely the WORST PROFESSOR I have EVER HAD. He is impossible to hear, doesn't care about his students at all, tests are very hard, makes it impossible to meet outside of class, gives zeros on papers that are fully completed and is just plain rude. Psych 106 would've been a great class with another professor. STAY AWAY.

Comment:
Everything about his poor hearing, boring lectures, and overall inattentiveness is true, but it makes the class easier to pass. The tests are based on what he says in the lectures, so you don't even need to buy the book. 3 easy essays and he gives you specific guidelines. Take him if you're looking for a low-maintenance class.

I recommend taking him! I enjoyed his class a lot. He is hard to hear so just sit close to the front. He's a super easy grader and has interesting stories form his experiences
