Brian Heasman

Brian was a very chill professor. You definitely have to show up to every class (if you can), but overall it was a super fun course. We went on two field trips, one to TD and one to the Sheraton Hotel. This course was super easy, felt like a breather amongst my core classes. He was super considerate as well. Wishing him a happy retirement.

The overall course ain't really hard, albeit the class was super bored and made you fell asleep easily, mostly essay and group project as for assignment. The only thing I felt bad was he ends up changing his decision a lot and didn't provide enough information for the assignment (as he never post instruction in the platform)

Do not take his course!!!!!!! One sentence for an instruction for 20% of the term paper, and once you done, he will tell you that u did not meet the requirement. Mark depends on his mood

Brian is honestly one of the sweetest profs I have met so far. He cares for his students to a degree that other profs don't. he doesn't actually post any assignment instructions online, he says them in class. For classwork he likes it to be above and beyond for an A or A+. The midterm is content-heavy and textbook-heavy with a few of his slides.

You have to go to class, it is very participation heavy as it's an experiential class. He really appreciates students who try and who ask questions, as this is the purpose of the class, therefore students who don't speak to him or are rude to him probably won't do that well (I'm guessing this is why people say he is biased?). It is easy to do well.

Everything you don't want in a professor.

Brian is probably the worst professor I have come across at the post-secondary level. I was enrolled in HTF - 506. It is an experiential class. He is extremely biased and racist. You have to be white and kiss his ass to succeed. I doubt he properly reads assignments and grade them fairly. He seems to assign grades based on his perception of you.

An experiential learning class so participation is mandatory. He doesn't post any assignment instructions other than on the course outline schedule. You come and work in the RU Diner at TRSM as the back of the house, server, bartender, and cashier. There are 3 assignments: what does service mean to you, restaurant review & managing week paper.

So disorganized. Places other prof slides and post other things that add more to the confusion. Doesn't place correct slides in order or correct labeling and doesn't even explain the rest as he finishes 20 slides and the remaining 60 he just wings it to us to study alone. Pretty fast speaker as what he is saying has to be recorded. Just don't.

No calculators on exams, does not use D2L at all, gives paper handouts only available in class, half of both his exams are written and poor communication skills. Do yourself a favor go on RAMMS and switch to the other professor teaching HTF 110 at the beginning of the semester.
