A challenging class! Tests are free response, only takes well thought out + expanded answers, as well as 2 essay questions based on lecture topics. Class is almost exclusively lectures, I never had to open the text. She also talked about a political simulation and about how fun it was all semester, then canceled last minute

Great teacher! Strongly passionate for her job. Is will to work with students who ask for help or are having problems understanding the material. Keeps the class interesting and fun.

She is a very kind and helpful Professor. Her doctorate shows as she definitely commands her knowledge of Political Science

She is a great teacher, but then again I know more of her life. She knows what is doing, but gets off track. I took her class and others where failing, she cried,and showed that she really cared for our grade. Study on tests,she gives study guides. There are 20 vocab to memorize,and 3 essay topics, but only 2 get chosen randomly on the test.

Professor Henkle is awesome! DO THE WORK and you shall pass!!!! It is almost impossible to fail this class unless you are slacking off. She is easy going and understanding. I strongly recommend taking one of her classes.

I took the class with Ms. Henkle in the summer course (5 weeks), even with the fast paced school lifestyle I managed to get by pretty good. Just do the work, study, and you'll pass(all the exams, writing assignment, and lil stuff are not that hard). She does tend to get off track in lecturing talking about her personal life but i didnt mind haha.

This teacher is awsome, from the first day you will be laughing. She gives two books, but she focuses on the governemnt book more. Her assignments are easy; she has the current events, and a research paper. The longer the paper, the better the grade. Her tests are easy but you have to read the material. overall an amazing treacher

Doc Henkle is very passionate about her work. I wanted to change my major after taking her class, i didn't. That goes to explain how fun her class is. Pay attention to her lecture. She provides study guides (exactly like the test).

Professor Henkle is AWESOME AND FUNNY!!! If you need to take any political science class take her! There is work involved but its not work to make your life hard it is work that prepares you for later. She cares for her students and wants all to succeed and you really can just by doing all the assignment and all the extra credit she offers.

Professor Henkle is such an awesome professor. I took her over the summer and i was worried i wasn't going to pass because i was not into politics, but she made the class very interesting. She gets off topic a lot, but most of the times their just examples for you to understand the material. Overall, she's a great professor! I recommend her :)

One of the best classes I have ever taken in my life, well worth it.

She was very kind to her students and would make sure that everything she was putting out was clear to the whole class. She doesn't count attendance against you and does go off course but the examples she puts out are related to the subject. You do have to write a few one page essays which is super easy to do. She is an easy grading teacher.

I really loved this professor. I dreaded taking politics but professor Henkle gave me a whole new outlook on the subject. She expects you to attend class and participate but she works with you and her class is a pleasant environment.

Great professor, really enjoys her subject. Not that much work except a huge research paper due at the end. Its a bit much since most are only taking it as general requirement. However is easily reached at her office hours and is there to help. Class definitely feels more like a 4 unit class

Great professor to take!! Took her for political science 100. She is very specific in her grading criteria and what she expects but assignments are easy. She is funny and caring. You can email her and she will reply and explain thing throughly. She makes you feel comfortable in the class and participation and lectures are fun!

Dr. Henkle is a phenomenal professor! She makes you do work! You must attend class and take notes. She wants to make sure all her students are prepared to transfer to the university level. She gets off topic a bit but its to help students understand how policy affects your everyday life. I can say I learned in her class and it will stick!

I took her 9-week semester class and it was an easy A+. She encourages participation in lecture and she is very respectful to everyone's perspective. She will make sure you have all the information to get an A on the exams. With the short semester, if you are not good at managing your time you will be like the 32 of 40 that dropped from my class.

Professor Henkle is amazing! She respects everyones political views, and isn't one to judge. I recommend taking her, if you attend the class, take notes, and actually listen you'll pass the class with no problem. I took a summer class which was only five weeks, and she did give homework and a research paper, but the instructions were simple.

I have never been the type to delve into politics or political issues like I did during and after her class. She is amazing! She brings real life examples, including some of her own, to help the students really retain what needs to be learned. Her tests are a bit hard, all written. However, I got a perfect score on all 4 of her tests. So just study

I loved her and her class

Class is heavily lecture based and she has clear grading criteria. She uses many real world examples during lectures and takes time to discuss current events. You have to write a research report but she gives you plenty of time to work on it. Professor Henkle wants everyone to pass and makes political science interesting.

American Politics , one of the most amazing classes, her educational technique keeps the interest in class, every concept counts, relates everything creating an amazing environment. Summer class are 2 1/2 hours every day never got bored. get ready to write papers, but she is very organized so explains everything with the syllabus the first day.

Dr. henkle is a very caring teacher she respects every individual even those who do not participate as much in her class. if you do your work and pay attention to what you are doing you will pass the class. she is understanding and she is very funny, you will laugh in her class

I took Dr. Henkle for Fall 2017 and I really enjoyed her class. Her lectures are clear, which makes it easy to take good notes. Multiple quizzes, but not difficult if you go to class and pay attention. She does have you do a 10 page research paper on sugar, which changed the way I saw sugar. Took this class with four other classes.

Henkle really knows her stuff that's for sure. The only reason I did poorly was not because of her, but because I procrastinate big time. She cares about her students and wants the best for them. She is a tough grader though but she lets you know how she wants the paper and will work with you. use APA on her papers lol.

Professor Henkle really wants her students to succeed. She won't pull punches on grading, but she will be there for you in any way you need to help improve your performance in class. She goes on some tangents about her life, but is enthusiastic about her subject and loves to get student input in discussions. Fun teacher, I recommend her.

I learned a lot from professor henkle I didnt expect to enjoy this class but she made it really fun and understandable with her examples and funny life stories :) I would take her again if I had to take another poli sciclass. She graded us on four major assignments/tests but they werent hard if you studied and stayed on top of due dates

She included lots of personal experience but tied them to lecture. You have to attend lecture to gain knowledge for test. Lots of fun

Taken over summer, lecture feels short, lots of stories + commentary. Notes are short and to the point. Tests are short answer + essay. Do all the EC. Homework takes 30 mins to an hour, easy stuff. Speak your mind, she's down for light debate. She answers questions clearly. The sugar paper is agony. Doesn't care about attendance after drop date.

Dr. Henkle is an amazing instructor! Not only is her background story inspiring, but she also brings excitement to a boring subject. I took her 6pm-8:50 class and most people are done for the day at that point but she made it fun. All you have to do is actually try and do your work. She doesnt just give out As, you have to earn it.

Oh where do I start, Professor Henkle is hilarious. Although she (and the whole class) would get off topic often, it was fun and entertaining I wish I had her longer. She describes everything in detail. Easy class and assignments altogether and textbook is online.

I am currently taking Dr. Henkle and I absolutely enjoy her class ! She is funny and makes the subject or topic related into an every day life we live. I recommend taking her, however you do have to STUDY for those exams!

For an online course for a 100 class, the workload was pretty intense. However, I felt that the criteria was pretty clear. If youre not super comfortable with writing, I would recommend taking a professor who requires less. We wrote anywhere from 2-8 pages a week in journals. Shes definitely a passionate professor though, so Id take her again.

Professor Henkle is amazing. Yes, her class can be hard at times, but she also is very understanding. Go to her office hours for help. Her lectures are funny, but she knows what she is talking about. She wants you to really learn about politics and what is going on in the world.

She is honestly one of the coolest professors I,ve ever had. She's made me laugh in her class constantly. She's really easy grading journals just a lot of work. On tests she is a really tough grader so if you suck at those do not get her. She gives you a great study guide but no feedback so it's hard to improve. She's an awesome person but tough pr

This teacher was grate and did provide us with plenty of feedback of what we needed to study for on our exams. Also, she is very clear on the assignments, take notes, and she does offer extra credit. She really makes political science interesting and I would definately take this class again.

the class is really hard, a lot of homework, no clear assignments, book protect, no tutoring and not feedback, not extra credits and she doesn't round your grade. the lectures are good and easy, she is not hard grading assignments but gives a lot of homework. I will not recommend taking this class.

Dr. Henkle was a great professor! Lots of homework but you will definitely learn a lot in her class. I acquired a real interest in Politics thanks to this class and will be applying my new found interests and curiosity in the years to come. Be prepared for a steady but effective work load and try your best. She will respect your effort!

The class was challenging, but she did disclose that since it was a five-week course, she would be squishing 16(?) weeks worth of material into five weeks. She did require 500 words every day and 250 words for replies, which was hard to meet and honestly tiring.

She is amazing, I am surprise she has a low score here on this website. I had her for an in-person class and she was absolutely fantastic, helpful to all, great at explaining our assignments , and she has a great sense of humor that class is never boring. I would recommend having her for both in-person and online classes.

Professor Henkle is amazing, has a great personality, and is understanding. She had everything for the semester laid out on Canvas, the few assignments given were well explained, and we had ample time to complete them. The overall atmosphere of the class was warm and inviting, with everyone participating at one point or another. TAKE THIS CLASS!!

I enjoyed this class and was actually able to retain the information I learned. She is very straight up and gets to the point, which I like. She was very personable, and I enjoyed hearing her stories which never overshadowed the lectures. Not a tough grader when it comes to grammar/spelling in our papers. Gives helpful feedback too!

Profesor makes class fun and easy

The previous comments paint, Doctor Henkle in a negative light. Doctor Henkle, heavily implied that if you ever need help in any sort of way for writing, to reach out to her during her office hours and seek out aid. Dr Henkle, has been a great professor and has helped me so much with my writing and given me an interest in politics.

Easy and few assignments.

Juggling my personal life plus school, it was a little bit too much for me to balance. Do attend her zoom meetings. Ask A LOT of questions. You will read a lot, have 250 word responses to topics, 500-1000 word essays but I promise, you will learn a few things if not more about Politics, even if you're not a big fan. Dr. Henkle is AMAZING.

She's amazing and hilarious!!! I'm honestly not a morning person or into politics but she makes me look forward to her lectures and makes them interesting. She only assigns 1 assignment per week and it's a chapter summary always due Sundays. No quizzes, only a midterm and a final.
