This class was way to hard for a Gen Ed. I would not recommend taking it. I had to for my major and I might have to retake it.

Comment:
He talks extremely fast in lectures so its hard to get all of the information. Also, I never understand his explanations. Exams are so hard because almost all of them are story problems. I usually get good grades in all classes and find it nearly impossible to do so in his class. Very difficult and stressful for a gen ed class. Dont recommend.

He is a very helpful professor if you email or meet with him about questions that you have you'll be fine. tests have examples that are in the book or similar to ones he says in lecture. PSY 101 is a tough class with any prof you just have to do the work.

He is a great professor, as long as you read the book and take good notes you will be just fine. Tests are easy and follows the outline to a tee. Great prof!!!

If you want a good grade with this prof, pay attention and take notes during lecture. Although the tests are difficult, he has a different grading scale than others to get an A. When it comes down to it, work hard for the grade you want. He also doesn't put grades on BB so you don't know until the semester is over. Work hard on final!!

If you can get out of his class I would. The class is based off of 3 exams and thats it. The tests are very hard and the questions are not straight forward. There are no notes or handouts for this class everything is based on his lecture. Most of the information needs to be looked up online after class and that information isn't always accurate.

Comment:
Your grade strictly depends on how you do on the exam. He provides no notes, no powerpoints. Only provides a five page outline and does not explain the concepts. The exams were very hard even if you some how got all the information down for the concepts. Do not take this gen ed from this professor.

Hes a great professor and is really good at explaining the material but the lectures were always long and in order to pass the exams you had to pay attention to everything. Your grade depends only on 3 exams and other mandatory activities. Theres never any homework just reading that is necessary to do well in the course.

He gives good lectures, if you pay attention and take notes during lecture you will do well since most of his test questions come from what he says in class. He makes it easy to either get time or talk with him or his teachers assistant if you ever need any help. Overall, a good professor.

Super hard class. Don't think I've put enough time into studying and I've gotten a C on all the exams. Don't bother buying the book either. If you study a lot you should be fine though.

Comment:
Professor Henderson is very monotone during lectures and does not put any lectures on blackboard. He only gives an outline for topics that will be on the exams and the exams are all application based. Exams are very hard to study for unless you go see him personally or see one of his assistants.

After the first exam I thought for sure that I would fail, it was that hard. Everything was application based. I increasingly did better on each exam. At the end he either takes your grade in the class or just your final exam grade as your overall grade. So work really hard to get an A on the final, its not impossible.

He keeps class interesting by doing some little fun activities. However, taking notes is hard because he doesn't give a power point, just and outline. A suggestion I have is to write down every example he gives and evaluate them with the outline.

Lectures are entertaining but the test are hard. Go to class he covers a lot in lectures. The outlines he post really help with the exams. You don't get homework only 3 exams and a final.

Prof Hendersen's exams are extremely tough, so be prepared to study. I know a lot of these reviews say not to take this prof, but he's a supper nice guy and knows what he's talking about. He truly cares about his students and wants to help. If you study A LOT you will be fine. But seriously study a lot! Or you WILL fail at least the first exam.

Comment:
I honestly enjoyed Professor Hendersen's class. There are 3 tests and those are basically your only grades, along with the final. The tests are tough, especially the 1st one, but don't let that scare you away because you really do learn a lot in this class and if you study, read the textbook, and ALWAYS attend class, you'll do fine.
