Definitely not a super easy professor, he is sometimes very unclear in his teaching methods and seemed not interested in teaching the class - but maybe he was just reflecting how the students acted...he did crack a lot of jokes to lighten the mood. Just do the homework and read the book and if you are in any way intelligent should do okay.

His teaching style can be confusing. He does have a tendency to jump around in the sections without introduction. Tests are extremely difficult, but he takes in account if you attempted to answer the questions on the test. Online HW is counted as a test grade. In order to pass the class you need to do online HW & book HW to understand the material.

He seems to just lecture the material, as if he is reading from the text.

I have taken his class for Differential Equations. He gives 4 tests and 1 final. However, if you obtain an A average, the final will be optional. He gives partial credit for his tests and tries to see how the student approaches the question compared to the actual accuracy of the answer. Its best if you attempt all questions.

Great Professor. Even if you are not good at math he will make it easy to understand. He is pretty funny and I will most definitely take him again if I needed too. 4 Tests only, Only have mymathlab HW, no textbook needed, and if your test average is an A from all four tests you do not have to take the final. Passed with a B

Very good professor, this review is for Mac 1147, Mac 2311, and Map 2302. I would have taken him for Mac 2312, and Mac 2312, but he wasn't teaching. There are 4 test,if you average above 90 then you can opt to not take the finals. HW is optional, if done,and it benefits your grade then it will be added,it doesn't replace test.

This professor does not provide any supplemental materials outside of the class. You are left to teach yourself. He does not follow any type of guide he is all over the place when he teaches which is hard for a visual learner. He mumbles and has a very monotone voice. I do not recommend him.

Though I took this in the summer, he was a good choice for Calc 3, he made me not be afraid of using trig in calc.

Professor Henderson is a very merciful grader. If you actually go to the lectures and ask questions when you don't understand something you'll be fine. We were given an entire formula sheet for our statistics class so it was more about applying what we'd learned rather than full memorization. He's older so he does have a tendency to not use canvas.
