This was my first time taking an online class - if all professors could be like him, college would be such an amazing experience! He answers emails promptly, is very apathetic to students, seems to genuinely CARE and gives great feedback on assignments - which is helpful in an online Bio class! Can't say enough good things :)

I have always been horrible in Science classes, so I was really unsure about taking a 4-unit biology class in 8-weeks. Professor Henderson is awesome! You will get the grade that you put into it. If you want an "A" and put in the work you'll get the "A". Same with a "B", and every other grade. He's a very fair teacher, and I would recommend him.

For an 8 week class I expected to be drowning in work, in this class, you won't. It's not too much or too little, you can also start assignments 2 weeks before, if you like to start early.

Prof Henderson is an awesome instructor. He is open to answer your questions and he is quick with grading. He does not give trick questions and his work is straightforward. He is big on effort, and you will need to study the material to pass the class, however the work is more than doable. Overall, I would definitely take another course with him.

Mr. Henderson is a great professor. He is very clear about his course. If you follow the instructions and participate, then you will do just fine. I personally like when he is giving his lectures, he explains a concept or process more than just one way. In other words, if you have a question or confused, he will explain with a different example.

Prof. Henderson makes challenging material clear and engaging. If you stay active in lectures, the exams become much easier to grasp. He's incredibly helpful in and out of class, always ensuring everyone understands the content. His humor and teaching style make the course enjoyable. One of the best instructors I've had—you'll learn a lot!

I waited a whole semester to take Professor Henderson's class after being waitlisted, and I'm so glad I did. He makes Microbiology easy to understand and truly enjoyable. I even considered changing my major because of how much I loved his class. This class requires genuine effort, but as long as you put in the work, you'll do great!

Highly recommended!! He cared about his students. The grading criteria were clear, and his tests were consistent with lectures and study guides. His lectures were engaging, well-structured, and delivered with enthusiasm and humor. Gotta do the work though. I felt seen in this class, and learned a lot. Take this class. You will not be disappointed.

Great professor! The material was explained clearly, and complex topics felt easy to grasp without being watered down. The course was well-structured and supportive, and the lab work made everything feel practical and engaging.

This has been one of the most well-structered and organized online courses I have taken. The professor is always available to meet through via email or through zoom meetings, so even though the course work can be heavy it is easy to understand and follow along if you put in the work and ask for help from the professor when needed on coursework.

His course was well-organized with an easy, manageable workload. He provides substantive, thoughtful feedback on almost all assignments. He cares about the success and effort of his students. He gets assignments graded in the grade book and responds to emails in a timely fashion. Overall, I had a great experience taking his Bio-115.

I highly recommend Professor Ryan. He's consistent & offers great support & communication for students with accommodations & different learning styles online. Though, biology isn't my strong suit, his course sparked genuine interest & growth. Reading is manageable; he's a fair grader & the assignments prepare you directly for the exams.

Prof Henderson was my favorite professor this semester. He offers great feedback on assignments and missing answers to the chapter reviews. The exam questions are taken right from the lecture slides he offers, giving students an accessible path to getting an A. As long as you show effort in your work, I highly recommend taking this class.

This class was challenging but worth it. Mainly took it for nursing and wasn't expecting much, but it ended up being one of the best classes I've taken. The course is well structured and fair if you put in the effort. Exams can feel frequent, but staying on top of the material helps. Lectures are amazing and connect concepts to real-world examples.
