One of the funniest professors I've had at UW. Sometimes his lectures are disorganized and often out of order, but he will always try his best to clarify and is super clear about what you need to know. Put the time into studying and you can easily get an A in this class.Rate My Professors ↗

Great prof. Really funny and will answer any question you have. He is a little scatterbrained at times but genuinely wants you to do well. He has clear expectations of what will be on the exam, and if you study, you can easily get an A in this class.Rate My Professors ↗
Dr. Heideman is one of the best professors here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is an amazing professor who spices up his lectures through his quirky humor and jokes. I enjoyed taking pharmacology with him. Be sure to either attend class or watch the lectures online to do well! Take one of his classes if you can!Rate My Professors ↗
Dr. Heideman was funny and quirky. He gives helpful study guides and practice tests before his exams, which are very doable if you study his lecture slides!Rate My Professors ↗
He's a great professor. As long as you're willing to spend the time needed to memorize the material, an AB or A is pretty attainable.Rate My Professors ↗
He's hilarious! He should be a comedian in his next career. He is pretty good at explaining but it's helpful to go back and re-watch all the lectures.Rate My Professors ↗
