Hendricks has the best academic plan for teaching Stat. He doesn't just give you homework and checks it in class. He teaches in lectures by taking notes and showing examples on the board. Super generous grader. MyStatLab does most of the hw. Really breaks down Stat in a simple concept. Available for outside help.

Hendricks is a great guy, but in class he wastes an hour talking about nonsense then tries to squeeze in 2 or 3sections for the remaining hour. Then you end up like me trying to teach yourself for a test and not finding any help in your notes. He doesn't answer questions directly, sometimes I just wanna scream at him. I used to love math, until him

I was terrified to take statistics because I heard how hard it was. I passed with a 98%. When he lectures he makes everything extremely clear and gives tons of real life examples. It is a hard concept class but at the end of the lectures he shows you how to do it all in your calculator and it makes it so easy. He is such a great professor.

You have to read the textbook if you want to fully understand. Lectures are very long, he loves to talk. Sometimes he stays on one topic or problem too long, and might not cover the other topics well enough. He will review the next class, but only if you tell him there is something you did not understand. He's always in a positive mood.

Prof. Hendricks is a really nice guy. I didn't have a problem with him on a personal level. However, his class is extremely difficult if math has never been your strong suit. His lectures consist of him writing notes & you copying them down, but he gives extremely poor explanation. Don't take him if you aren't ready to study and tutor BY YOURSELF.

He lectures with pre-made hand-written notes, so this will barely give you time to read/write down what you want. He explains his notes, though, which makes it easier to understand. He wants you to read the book before going to the next class session, I didn't and was fine. He gives A LOT of extra credit on tests, which makes it easy to pass.

Each chapter has a practice quiz that is literally identical to the actual quiz, but different numbers. It is fast-paced and the textbook isn't very helpful, but the practice quiz has an explanation on how to do the problem so it helps to study those. There is no lockdown browser. The whole class is online but the final is in person.

Currently in this class and Im at a B+. The class revolves around you doing your hw, if you do it won't be difficult at all. The tests are created from the hw on knewton alta 1 hw assignment can take VERY long don't let it pile up. I recommend chipping away at it in the span of 2-3 days. If you do the hw and master it you will do good in the class.

THIS IS THE WORST CLASS IVE EVER TAKEN. I have never struggled so much in a math class. His lectures don't cover everything needed. I had to learn most of the material on my own. He goes on random tangents about real and fake numbers. And his exams are HEAVILY weighted and are hard to pass because they are all over the place.

Not always the best teacher and lectures can be boring but if you ask for help outside of class especially if you talk to him in-person he's much better reteaching you one-on-one. He cares about students and it's not super hard to pass but this class is time consuming, do the homework throughout multiple days and try not to skip lots of lectures.

Professor Hendricks is a nice guy but his lectures are very boring. He speaks in a very monotone voice which does not help the already boring lectures. What he teaches does not help the department required tests which in turn gives a bad grade. Be sure to spread out the homework and quizzes because they take a long time to do in one sitting.

My experience with Professor Hendricks was an absolute nightmare. Taking his class was a regrettable decision that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. The man is the epitome of boredom personified and seems to be on a mission to make every student's academic life as miserable as possible. Compared to the other competent professors at Macomb.

he appeared shockingly uneducated and clueless about the subject matter. It's a miracle if he manages to stumble upon the right points that might be tested on, and even then, his delivery is so mind-numbingly monotone that staying awake is a genuine challenge. The man made it clear that he couldn't care less whether you pass or fail.

His class was overly difficult and complicated. He is extremely bad at explaining things and hes Extremely boring.

The teacher doesn't seem to know how to do his job, which means you're not able to understand any of the material. The amount of homework in this class is insane. Also, the tests are worth an incredible amount of your grade, and they're hard; most students will drop out within the first part of the class. This is a horrible teacher. Stay away.

Predicting what material he might find worthy of testing was like playing a twisted game of chance, and his disinterest in the success or failure of his students was palpable. Late arrivals were not uncommon, showcasing a blatant disregard for punctuality and a complete lack of consideration for those who bothered to attend on time.

Indifference and boredom permeated every inch of his teaching style, leaving us to fend for ourselves in deciphering the course content. It's a perplexing mystery how he manages to hold onto his position. In my candid opinion, swift removal from the teaching roster would spare future students from the agonizing ordeal of enduring his instruction.

Prof. Hendrix is a very nice and understanding teacher. His lectures often got boring and you really have to practice the homework (which there's A LOT of) to do good on the exams. The best part about his class though is that his exams are straight from knewton and he offers VERY generous extra credit after every exam.

Let the reviews speak for themselves. Professor Hendricks teaches a difficult subject in the most boring way possible. I went for help during his office hours, and we only managed to work through 3 problems over the course of 60 minutes. He can't explain things well and tends to over-explain everything in a poor attempt to fix that.

I would say that my overall experience in Mr. Hendricks class was pretty good. The lectures are mandatory, but he is pretty lenient and understands if you can't make it to class. He also offers extra points for exams and only drops the lowest of 3 out of your final grade (In my class experience). Content heavy, so study regularly. 8/10 experience.

Very difficult course with lots of homework. Tests are challenging and make up 90% of the grade. If you're good at math, you might do well, but expect to spend a lot of time studying. The professor is okay, but if you're taking multiple courses, this class will be a struggle.

He is a great professor and a wonderful person. I enjoyed my time in his class. You shouldn't have any trouble passing as long as you complete the homework. I could have easily earned a higher grade, but I only did the bare minimum due to life struggles, and I still had no issues. DON'T LET THESE OTHER REVIEWS DISCOURAGE YOU.

Don't do it. Please don't take this professor. 10% of the Grade is homework. The rest of the 90% is on Exams, you won't be able to pass if you aren't able to pass random knewton alta written questions on the fly. Would not use videos, this guy is only if you can teach yourself through Knewton Alta. Any explanation is overdone.

He drops the lowest-scoring test, so it gives a boost. Plus, he posts extra credit after each test. Some of the hw is not from his lectures; he excludes them from the test, but because he doesn't make the hw, he can't control them. Very helpful, helps even on weekends via email/Canvas. always offers help to the students

This class is very difficult and requires extensive studying. I made the mistake of taking it online, you buy the book and teach yourself everything. Video lectures would be helpful, or PowerPoints. Your grade really just depends on how long you spend sitting teaching yourself the material based off a crappy book

After chapter 2, I dont think he covered any section that covers the homework. He spends an hour on explaining stuff unrelated. This is a very learn on your own class with Knewton. The class covers chapter 2 to 5 from openstax calc 1. Do not think you can do integration, if you struggle with differentiation. Study the material before signing up.

Even though its our first time learning it. Be ready to teach yourself. Final is 30% of grade. All tests are knewton based, but he doesn't teach knewton problems
