One of the best math teachers ever! Helped me overcome my life long fear of Math!
By far the best instructor I've ever had. I don't know what her secret is but I learned all of the material and enjoyed doing it.
My role model! Inspired me to become a math teacher.

Best teacher of college. I love her.
****in love her, she's great, I still go visit her sometime.
Best prof. I've ever had. Organized, fast grader, helpful, lots of office hours, sense of humor. Quizzes are all extra credit. Tests are easier than quizzes. Great class to take, especially for comp. science majors who need to get a lot of math. She rocks
One of the best teachers I have ever had...never could do math until her....she makes you laugh is fun to be around....great teacher for ANYTHING!
Best Prof I have ever had. I hate Math and she made it fun and easy for me.
She rocks!!!! I took her twice for college algebra and finite math. She is the best professor I ever took. She makes learning math fun and sares about her students very much. She is my role model and learned a lot from her.
Certainly makes the mornings more interesting. Always willing to help anyone understand and is truly enthusiastic about mathematics. Sometimes to a scary extent but we will forgive her :-D

awesome teacher
Very interesting teacher who loves what she teaches and helps as much as she can with everything. Tests are pretty to the point and cover only what was done in class...easy class, kind of immature in her teaching style but thats her personality and it fits her. An awesome prof, take for math...
have not been in a class room for over 25 years. she made it possible for me to feel I had accomplished something and that I had learned an aweful lot by the end of the semester. I highly recommend her. Do your work and the good grade is yours!
Awesome teacher! She's very enthusiastic & beyond helpful. She gives quizzes weekly for extra credit. She prepares you for every test with review sheets.
One word: Awesome.
fun and totally hyper but helps you so much
i hate math with a passion because of bad teachers this is not one of them. she was the greatest teacher i have ever had the experience to learn from.
shes the best!!! she made the class a blast. to fully understand the material i suggust doing the hw, although she doesnt check, its for your own good, it really helps. you do board work the day before the test (review) be there for it!! ill take her again any day of the week!!!!!!!!

She's a pretty good teacher. I would deff. recommend her :).
I did not understand math till her. Take her if you hate math , she really wants you to learn.
She is a great teacher. I hate math. but enjoyed going to her class. I never missed a class because she was that good
VERY energetic, actually made me want to pay attention, and i HATE math. she's very clear in explaining things, very helpful, she never checks the homework but i recommend doing it for your own practice. also, quizzes for extra credit once a week and if everyone passes, she buys the class donuts. def take this class!
She's VERY enrgrgetic a little too much for math lol. She knows her stuff!! But she's a little bit too much by the books! LOVE EXTRA CREDIT QUIZZES.if ur bad at math take this class i got a A it is hard but shes a good teacher!!!
I had to withdraw from College Algebra the semester before, then I took this class...dreading it. Thanks to Prof Henderson I passed with an A...something that I was amazed at! She makes math seem easy, & if you need help she's very accessible. I definitely recommend this class/professor to anyone who has trouble in math! Gives xtra credit as well!
Really nice person but not too helpful. As long as you are good at math, you'll pass. But if you're not doing too good, don't expect help or sympathy!! Tries to be the "likeable" teacher but doesn't try to help you do better on tests!! Good luck.
Great teacher, very energenic but very nice. always trying to help students, made me enjoy math. i actually took her for finite math and stats!
I thought Professor Henderson was great. She is down to earth, kind, sweet and caring. I would definitely take another class with her.
I took finite math with her, it was the only A I've had in math, and a requirement that I needed to fill. She made the class fun, and made math not so bad. Every once in a while though she kind of freaks out when students dont try, but other than that, its great, I say take the class (esp. if you are shaky in mathematics).
I don't think I've ever seen anyone so excited about math as her. Very helpful and excellent teacher!
Henderson was a great teacher. I don't even like math, and i'm horrible at it, but she made the class at least do-able. She was a really nice lady. She even called me once when I was out the day before a test to make sure I knew about it. Definately take her for stat.
Great Professor. We had about 4 tests and every week we had a quiz, but the quiz was extra credit on your final grade!! Do your homework it really does help!
one of the best teachers ever!! i would love to retake her class...as long as you participate she will give you a good grade even if your not sure whats going on as long as you try and show you are trying you will pass with flying colors...great teacher!!!
She's a really good teacher. Pretty funny and always smiling. The class isn't boring and as long as you pay attention get your work done you'll do fine.
awesome professor, strives for her students to do well. so helpful...impossible not to understand. def take her
she is so cool..she is very enthusiastic which i love about her and she makes the class fun. she's very helpful and she has office hrs. if u need extra help, had a quiz every week but helped my grade tremendously..take her if u can!
Easily one of the happiest individuals I have ever met. Her attitude and consistently overflowing joy make her class something to look forward to, even if you hate Math. She treats the class for what it is, a simple liberal arts course for non-math majors who need math credits. She is honest, intelligent, sweet, nurturing, fair and top notch!
Professor Henderson's class was definitely one to look forward to. There is homework after every class but I didn't mind because she taught every topic so well. The tests are fair and there is also one extra credit 3 to 5-question quiz once a week. She doesn't mind if you're late as long as you don't disrupt the class as you take your seat.
w00t !!
Awesome Math teacher. extremely easy to understand, even if you hate math. All the quizzes are extra credit, its impossible to fail the class unless you don't show up. Doesn't move to fast, keeps pace with everyone. Checks homework.
CRAZY! if you were struggling she would tell you to go see a tutor, not her. not helpful for advice on what to do in the future. made rude comments in the middle of a lecture if you didn't understand something. tests were very difficult. extra credit quizzes were helpful. funny, but the way she taught was so annoying.
Prof Henderson is extremely nice and has a good sense of humor. She clearly explains how to do all of the work. The material may not be easy, but she teaches it well. I learned a lot in her class. Lots of homework! Be prepared. If you pay attention you and do your homework, you should do well.
Dont take her... she doesnt help anyone unless you know how to do math. she is so rude.
*easy A if you do every homework problem. (homework problems are sometimes on the test). There is an extra credit quiz every week which helps you prepare for future tests (if you get all the extra credit points you get about an extra 8% on your final grade). She sometimes confuses herself on the board which wastes time. Review basic algebra skills!
DONT!!get gassed up.No mercy even if u put in effort and she takes mini errors seriously no mercy she even states... I use to love math until this first seems cool but will waste your time +money and GPA..
The way she teaches is very confusing. When you go to do your homework it will seem like it has nothing to do with the lecture. She teaches the theory but not how to apply it. I think shes just coasting she probably has tenure.
She is CRAZY for 8 am! But she really loves what she teaches and makes it fun. Ask her about donuts :)
I enjoyed her class. She tried to make sure we understood concepts b4 moving on to the next topic. I think she cares for her students and does want them to succeed. I'm typically not a strong math student but the class is set up in a way where mature (studying, caring, eager) students should not have a problem getting an A.
There is a comment below that is true, Prof. Henderson does nit-pick and will take off points for some very minor mistakes such as not writing a solution in the area she requests. BUT she offers extra credit each week and the minor points don't necessary have a huge impact on your grade.
She really is the best math teacher, shes such a sweetheart
wonderful teacher, great personality, explains well, flexible extra help hours, quizzes only count for extra credit and are given weekly and are added to your final grade. an extra 3 points a week is always good
Henderson is a wonderful teacher!!! Definitly take her you won't regret it. She gives lots of extra credit and explains each chapter in detail. Math is not easy but she really helps. Great personality too!!
Ms.Henderson is the best teacher I've had in college. She wants all of her students to succeed and as long as you put the work in and do you homework, study, and ask her ques when you start to get stuck on material, you will do well in the class. She teaches the hardest material and makes it very understandable. Wonderful teacher, great person too.
Very helpful. Love her method of teaching. She gives homework and checks it!!!! Tests/quizzes are reflective of all that is taught in class. A+ Prof.
She's awesome :) take her! she explains everything perfectly clear. homework is mandatory though, she does random checks from time to time, so be prepared. She really wants you to succeed, she makes sure she covers all the info for the test. Recommended for an afternoon class, she's wayyy too happy for the morning lol. :)
hands down my best professor at occ. as a math education major i really appreciated her and her teachings! ask her about donuts bc they go along with the extra credit quizzes each week. defintiely helped me achieve my A that I wanted in her class. she made you work, but only for your own benefit, highly recommend!
Yeah, a good professor, gives extra credit,very helpful. On the other hand, she does not understand students who need extra help, doesn't compromise with grading, she'll just give you an F regardless of how hard you try.:( I'm talking to those who are terrible at math!
Gives extra credit. . Tests are easy if you know the work. As long as your good at math them you'll be fine. Nice teacher and gives a lot of opportunity to get an A
She is definitely the best professor you can take for pre-calc at OCC. She gives a quiz every week that will only count as extra credit, and the questions on the quizzes and homeworks are used for her tests. Awesome professor.
Her extra credit quizzes were helpful in maintaining our grade and for study guides. She illustrated the concepts very clearly. I really enjoyed her class. Even early in the morning her class was pleasant and I got an A, so I was pretty happy. Do your homework and you will be fine.
After taking her courses i never bothered to post my experiences here before. She is very good but she does have limited time before and after class. Lectures are informative but as college students its the student's job to take information and apply it. She shows both if you pay attention. For those who do not get math, i ask, why take pre-calc?
Nice Teacher but I was confused about the subject and she did not seem clear.
Amazing professor! Tries very hard to make sure you succeed. Gives a lot of extra credit. Best teacher at occ and in general as well. Nothing negative to say at all
Prof Henderson is amazing!!! If you don't take her you are missing out. She loves teaching, patient, answers any questions and gives you every tool to succeed. I took her for 191 and 192 and ended both classes with A's
I recommend taking her class if you have not taken a math class in a long timehave not been in school for a long time. She'll assign a LOT of work, but its always a lot harder than the tests she gives. Therefore, it is hard to fail testsquizzes. Even if you miss classes you'll have to do online quizzes, which makes it hard to fall behind.
she's great. I really like her methods, and she really wants you to succeed and do well. So many of my classmates complained about her, but if you put in the time, you'll be fine. It's annoying how she checks homework every class like we're 5, but Im passing with flying colors, and math was never my thing
I really enjoy her classes, they were a lot of fun. She is a math enthusiastic, I would definitely love to take one of her classes again.
She knows her math let me tell you that. I took her at 8:00AM and I really didn't think it was the best idea. She is wide awake and hilarious in the morning, but it is her explanation that is off. She is up to date with everything on portalocean 365. When you ask a "dumb" question, she looks at you as if you know it already. She is nice though.
Very funny professor. She has sarcasm. She is a tough grader though and not as easy. If you want an easy A she is not the professor you want. If math is required in your major and you want to learn take her.
She's awesome. 2nd sem w her. Took pre-calc & calc in HS & took pre-calc w another prof in the past & withdrew... I never understood pre-calc & trig until I took her class. If you're looking for easy, it's not going to be, but if you're looking to actually learn the material then take her. Gives EC quizzes, Hw not graded. Wish I could write more.
First time with her and i did not like her at all. She does not explain she just does examples. Prepare to do a lot of homework. Prepare to be int he Tutoring center the whole semester.
SHE IS SO AWESOME!! She's funny and smart and gives extra credit. Best class ever!
I take her at 8am, and you better be there on time or you're going to hear it from her about being on time. She gives HW almost every class; never did one. Gives out short extra credit quizzes. Tests are not that bad, she gives reviews and posts the solutions online. I got a B, but i could have gotten a B+ but i did zero homework and extra credit.
She definitely is there for you if you really had a care for math and your grade. Her office hours are lenient but she can deal with hours after that. She is great. She was there for me, but I wasn't there for the grade . I give her at 9/10
Precalc class is tough if you havent taken it in hs, but Henderson does everything to help you understand the subject. HW is not graded but checked once in awhile--effort counts. 4 tests. WebAssign is optional but gives extra credit on tests and my grade jumped to an A once I started doing them. Cumulative test opt to replace lowest test grade.
Professor Henderson is an excellent math teacher. I had her for precalc I, and, no, I did not take it in high school. She explained the material very well, but as she keeps saying, math is not a spectator sport, and she gives a lot of homework. Most students found that if they did all the homework plus the online extra work they did well.
Do not take her class if you are not a super genius in Math!!! Test are long and tough, most times confusing. Very tough grader. Laughs at you when you ask questions in class. Expects you to know everything. Worst math instructor ever!!! Wish I knew better. Image is deceptive. Please run and save your grades!!! Pick a different instructor.
There's hw and a review for the tests. Do them and you'll get an A no doubt. She offers short extra credit quizzes that can be pretty easy. Hw is not graded but the tests may have similar or even the same problems so it's good to look at. Overall a great and slightly crazy professor.
There is extra credit by web assign, so do not say she does not give extra credit. She is a very down to earth woman behind her goofiness. She is a tough math professor, but she does try her best to explain.
Professor Henderson is a bit intimidating at first but she has a good heart under the tough-act. She's very caring and willing to work with her students to help them. I would definitely recommend her as long as your willing to put in the work at home to match what she does in class. Overall, I would absolutely take her again for any math class.
I 100% recommend her. She coo-coo in the head when she wants to be, but she is super helpful outside that classroom. She is far more better than any other professor out there for math. I took her for Math 191 and passed. Her extra credit is online, and she gives out helpful tips to help us figure out the answers. She is a B+ to a A
If you are a genius in math, great take her. If you aren't good you will have your whole grade riding on her insanely hard tests. She makes them as hard as possible. She talks to students in a disrespectful, condescending manner and laughs when someone asks a question or wrong answer. Even if you put in the work she doesn't care! Her voice....
Professor Henderson was amazing. If you're any good at math and actually care about your grade, she really is there to help you! I took her for an 8 am and actually loved her class, she gives a TON of extra credit so you can't use any excuses! homework is optional, however it really helps you understand what you're learning in class
Loved her teaching style. She explains concepts so that they're easy to comprehend and prepares you very well for the exams. Offers much extra credit and definitely buy the book because that's where hw comes from. She's the reason why I switched to be a math major. Can't say enough great things about her as a professor. Wish I could take her again!
Do not take this class. Save your GPA and your time. I am very good at math and still could not do decent in this class at all. She does not care about your questions or what you have to say. She is incredibly rude and heartless. Tests are absolutely impossible I honestly felt as if I learned nothing in class no matter how hard I tried.
If you are good at math, you will be fine, if you need extra help understanding the problems, then look elsewhere. Henderson knows her stuff but she does not give that many examples for problems, and goes over homework problems very little. Found her class extremely difficult, felt like I was teaching myself almost all the time and nearly failed.
I adore Mrs. Henderson. She is great. I'm terrible at math but she really breaks it down for you until you understand it. If there's another math class that she's going to be teacher, I will be taking her! She's energetic, and always comes to class with a smile on her face and ready to teach. She gives me hope that I can and will do better.
She is one tough lady! I had to teach myself, I might as well done that and save money. She does not do make ups or freebies. If you are good at math, great, if you love math but have difficulty look else where so you wont risk disappointment, but if you don't good luck. Also LOOK AT THE PDFs. Calculating the times she said this harder than chap5.2
She is a pretty great teacher, she loves math and sometimes gets really mad if the students don't understand what she is explaining, but she goes over everything. Homework every class, she doesn't grade it, but expects you to do it bc its good review for the test. Usually gives a small quiz every week, but it counts as extra credit and cant hurt u
This professor was awful. Most professors want their students to be confident in participating, well make sure you know the correct answer before you raise your hand. She will make you feel so stupid in front of the entire class. If you don't do your homework, get ready to be given the dirtiest look and have it announced to the entire class.
She might have a type crazy personality but she is a very GREAT teacher, and knows HOW to teach unlike many other math teachers. I would definitely take her again and I would recommend her to any student who is not good in math.
Must have textbook. Tough personality. Must do homework. Would not take again, did not like her style of teaching. Does not care if the students understand the material.
Just make sure you get tutor to pass her class She can teach ways to understand the problems
Professor Henderson is great. She is tough but fair, and she is tough, because if you don't put in the work, you aren't making it through the class, and she really just wants you to succeed.
Professor Henderson was one of the greatest professors to get. She is very tough, but fair when it comes to grading. She wants you to succeed. She gives out extra credit quizzes, they help a lot. Her tests are similar to HW, so it is reccomended you do the HW even though it isnt graded. Loved her style of teaching and would take her again
I took her for Pre calc but I could not handle the class. 100% of your grade is based off of tests, she does give extra credit quizzes but, if the majority of the class fails 3 of the quizzes the extra credit quizzes go away. I did not enjoy the class; atmosphere just wasn't nice. Got mad at the class a lot, but maybe that's our fault, I dont know.
Prof Henderson is passionate and an excellent teacher, anyone that is writing a negative comment was just not willing to put the work in to learn the material. Math is not easy! Prof Henderson is an amazing professor, take her if you want to learn.
At first prof Henderson does come off as very intimidating. And I did struggle at first. But then I decided to put the effort into the class. What I liked about her was that she did not baby students. If you did the homework you passed simple as that. Homework was long but as long as you did some of it that was fine. She gives so much extra credit
