Avoid taking this Prof He is extremely lazy is he's a very angry bipolar confusing prof it takes him two months to grade one paper. you never really know where you stand grade wise in the class when u ask him, He skims your work in front of you and gives you an estimation with a frustration tone of voice because you're questioning him on his processes of returning work.

His courses are life changing and he is knowledgable and trailblazing in his style. I feel like I learned more in this class than in the previous year at this college. However, It took him over a month to deliver the syllabus. He took ONE MONTH to grade my midterm paper, the final was due by the time he gave it back to me. This is unacceptable.

Professor Hendrickson is the type of professor that if there's anything that you don't understand he'll be more than happy to help you until you understand it. He doesn't give tests but a few quizzes here and there. If you put in the effort you won't have a problem passing the class and if you rebooks that he asks you to read then it'll be easy.

Professor Hendrickson is passionate, caring, and makes class feel like a real-world experience, not just pen and paper. He's knowledgeable, gives clear assignments, replies fast, and truly wants you to succeed. I don't know why there are bad reviews, his class is great if you participate and do the work.

Overall, he's a good and fair teacher. As long as you participate, show up to class (on time), and turn in quality work, you're sure to succeed. I will note that I did take his class during the summer, so I may have had a different experience than those taking his class during the fall semester.
