Always willing to help. Very easy to talk to.

Presents material well, but tests are unusually difficult. Be prepared.

She was pretty wacky, but the examples she gave really helped out.

She gave many examples and always looked to be having fun, which always helps.

very good teacher. seems to have fun and is concerned about students learning!

She is always willing to help you understand. She's an excellent teacher.

She'll always answer your questions. She's very easy to talk to.

Great Prof, easy to understand but her class is hard

Pretty good prof--Tries best w/ hard material. Tests can be long & hard though.

She is a great chemistry teacher, tries her best to help students learn.

was helpful and clear, learn a lot if you keep up

she isn't the easiest but she cares about you and helps you plus explains well

Tries her best to teach hard material, some exam questions way to difficult

Funny and nice. Exams pretty difficult, but bearable. Matchett is much harder!

Easy class if you pay attention at all. She will help with any questions you hav

Tough Teacher but so is the subject material. Pleasent sense of humor about chm

She's very friendly. Cares about what you've learned and always willing to help

I went into the class thinkning I would to fail; she made it easy to understand

No Longer At GVSU left for another school

She left GVSU to join frodo and the other hobbitts, she will be missed at gvsu

I heard that she is coming back, she went on sabaticle to the land of the elfs

This material is tough. She handles it well, though. Maybe I'm dumb.

She's BaAack! Hard course, decent job teaching it. Helpful if you ask. Hardexams

she is sooo nice, explains things till you understand it, very very helpful

Incredibly nice lady teaching an incredibly tough course.

Very tough lab grader. Spell a couple of words wrong or get a couple sig figs wrong and you get like 10 pts off. Not a fun class. There are better lab instructors

lab write up she takes a lot off if you mess up a little take your time on them and still expect to miss ten points

She is waaay too picky on her grading...knocks all your points off for little mistakes. She's very helpful and good at explaining things, but grades way too hard. Not clear on what she wants for a good grade

Very nice but very frustrating when you need to ask questions/in her grading

Great teacher! Tough subject, but go to her office, and she'll work you through anything. She will put in the extra effort to make sure you understand.

self-proclaimed goggle nazi.

really nice and helpful; collects in class assignments every day, so don't skip!

Great prof if you like being treated like a 1st grader. She put stickers on your lab reports for crying out loud! Too high of expectations. Tells you she expects one thing and then grades you on something totally different. Over-explains everything.

Very good teacher.

I think a lot of these ratings are very harsh. Yes it's a hard class, and the tests are hard, but I think she explains things very well. she writes out all the notes, puts you in groups for inclass hw (the groups can help a lot). very time consuming though! she was a good professor for a tough class

I thought she was nice. People who don't do well in lab, just don't do well in chemistry period. She's a good teacher. Read your lab book assignment before class and you'll do fine. I suck at chemistry big time and I still walked out with a "B" (amazingly.)

Chemistry is going to be tough, no matter who you have, but she is very helpful and her notes are very clear. And she doesn't try to trick you on tests. If you put the effort into the class you will do fine, and if there is something that you don't understand go to her office hours. She's helpful.

explains everything clearly, and is patient and very willing to help you with things you dont understand. onlne hw is great. exams are tough but not bad if you study. people who complain about her just wanted to slack through chemistry.

Great teacher and person. More than an asset to GVSU. Belongs more in a liberal arts setting. She's too nice for the general population of morons that attend this school. Open a book sometime. you'd be amazed at how much it can help. Great professor. Definitely recommended.

I was looking very forward to taking this class, and have always been in the "A-" range in Chemistry. I have to say, this was the hardest Chem. class I've ever taken. Also, since its 5 credits, it completely ruins your GPA. DO NOT take her, she's horrible! I was not slacking through it, either - I was looking into a chem major - not anymore!

well I studied for 2 hours and got a 66%....so you must've be studying wrong or something, i think she's a clear prof and covers the material well and is quite willing to help, if she can't ,she send you to someone that can.....

She explains the material pretty well in lecture, but you really need to study hard for her tests- usually the last problem is the most trickiest on her tests.

She's a VERY good teacher, despite what most people are saying. Chemistry isn't for everyone, and if you're not one of those people, take CHM 109 instead. She teaches very well, and goes over everything as many times as you need. Yes, her tests can be difficult, but they make you think. That's how you learn.

She knows alot about chemistry, but she is soo familiar with it that she breezes through steps that sometimes need a little more explaining. Things that maybe, it seems you understand at first but need to relearn later on. Nice lady but not exactly the easiest. Her tests are brutal be prepared.I studied alot and averaged a C+

She doesn't clarify the labs very well, but if you have any question whatsoever about it she'll be happy to help you. Nive teacher

Knows subject very well! Also a great teacher that is always available for questions. Class usually at a fast pace but will slow down if questions are asked... Would recommend and would take her as a prof again... Also make sure you study for exams a ton... cause.... THEY"RE HELL...

She teaches everything really well and makes sure you understand all the material. If you don't understand something she will help you even if she has to go really slow, step by step. Watch out for her tests though theres always something that will throw you no matter how much you study.

Yes, the exams were hard, but I really liked her method of teaching. I've always hated chem and she actually made it clear and almost interesting. I honestly really liked her. Definitely use book problems to prepare for quizzes/exams. Yes, free response IS hard on exams. You DO have to work pretty hard.

Knows the material well, takes her time presenting it and is always availible for office hours. Very helpful and tries to relate Chemistry to the real world. Exams are a little difficult, but if you know how to do the problems from each chapter, you should be okay.

Prof H. is a great professor, but is a VERY "stick to the rules" type of teacher. She refuses to round grades. She is very helpful at office hours, but in lecture, forget about it. Her exams are also very intimidating, be prepared to STUDY STUDY STUDY. Marks you down on exams for the littlest things too. Take her, but beware!

116 is a VERY hard class. Professor Henderleiter does the best she can for a hard subject. She is EXTREMELY nice and helpful. She even gave us several opportunities for extra credit. There may be some better profs for 116 but I think she is pretty good. Go into the class knowing you will have to work very hard.

Clearly presents lectures, very helpful. Exams are a little rough, but if you follow the study guides, you should be fine.

This professor is really nice, but the class level makes it difficult. She'd be great if the rest of the class were bright at all. The class average on a test was 65, but I got a 94, so I don't think it was her fault. I think it's just the class level and the number of people who think it's an easy A and are bitter that they were wrong

she was very helpful and did a great job teaching. it was clear that she genuinely cared that we understood the material.

I thought she was a pretty good chemistry teacher. She is very lenient and will give you points back on exam questions if you convince her that it was a confusing question. However, she is not an easy teacher BY ANY MEANS! The exams are WAY harder than the regular class material. But what do you expect from a pre-med course?

Had this professor for lab and she is SO much more helpful than my last chem lab professor. She is very helpful and helps you through lab by giving pointers or explaining concepts you might not fully understand. Can't say that for my last Chem lab professor. However, I highly recommend Professor Henderleiter!

She is SUPER helpful. The material is extremely dry but the way she teaches it makes the time go by quickly. Exams are actually not too difficult either. Go over the practice tests and problem sets(homework) beforehand and the class isn't too bad. Take lab with her too, the other prof is terrible.

She is a great teacher! Very helpful, always willing to help on homework or any other questions you have. Exams are not too bad, if you study. I really enjoyed taking her and I would strongly recommend her to others!!

Dr Henderlieter is a great teacher. She Got be interested in chem. She i very helpful and doesn't want her students to fail if they try.

She isn't the best at explaining the material, but she is very willing to answer questions.

Prof. Henderleiter is a very good teacher, she wants to make sure you know the material and use critical thinking skills. That being said her tests can be difficult but if you study hard you can do well.

I really enjoyed taking this class. Im interested in chemistry though but even with an 8am downtown I enjoyed going. She doesnt check attendance but its always good to go. Best thing to do is work on problems and the class will be a breeze. I would definitely take a class with her again!

Chem 115 is a course that you will have to work at. Even if you come from an excellent science school, you will have a wake up call. With that said, Mrs. Henderleiter tries to place students in groups that will help you achieve the best results. If a student wants to do well, they will do well.

Dr. H is an angel. She sincerely wants everyone to understand. Lectures are often engaging, her sense of humor is impeccable. Inorgo-chem is a HARD subject, but she goes above + beyond to make it accessible to everyone. Spend time with your assigned group outside of class to do the homework problems, and pay attention to example problems.

She is strict but fair. Kinda boring.

While she is the only chemistry teacher I have studied under, Dr. Henderleiter is an incredible professor. In a lecture hall of 80 students, it's obvious she cared about each of us. She is incredibly concise in her teaching so you know exactly what to expect on exams and homework.

I loved Julie!! She really cares about students so much, and as long as you put in the effort for chemistry, she will help you succeed in this class. I will genuinely miss her because she was so nice and motivational for me to do well in chemistry.

Dr. Henderleiter is so understanding and kind. The content is hard, but she is always willing to help if you reach out. I would email her and get a response pretty quickly with a long response, making sure I understood everything. She posts modules with lecture videos and some assignments, and those along with the quiz/test are due weekly.

Dr. H is a fantastic prof! She is very caring and cares about her students succeeding. She extended many assignments this semester to give her students an opportunity to succeed. You definitely need to put in effort to succeed, I mean it is a chem class!! I would highly recommend her.

very helpful during labs and always ready to answer questions, good explanations at the beginning of lab, would definitely recommend

I had her for lab and she was great! She helped us a lot and really cared about our grades and wanted us to succeed. I didnt really like chem but I really liked her labs! Definitely suggest you take her lab if you can!

She is very helpful if you ask and has many different ways of helping you understand the basics. I was nervous going into chem because I didn't take it in highschool but she made it very easy to learn.
