Great, energetic lectures. Has a clear passion for her subject and stays updated with recent research. Assigns a lot of reading but, it's relevant and the information usually shows up on exams. Fairly good at getting back to students if they have questions she cannot immediately answer. Could be more stringent on papers but the feedback is good.

Professor Henninger-Rener, Clearly knows her subject! The passion she has is exemplified through her teachings. Summer session consisted of 2 papers, 3 exams ( answered Q's, not multiple choice), hands out study guides and goes over each exam question word by word, there is NO WAY one can fail as long as you try! Great professor who helps students

Extremely tough grader and very condescending. Will nitpick about every small detail and take points off, like taking 5 points off for not italicizing a word when citing. About 2 assignments a week + quiz but all assignments are high points and take a lot of time and research. Quizzes are hard and lecture/ppt heavy. Avoid her at all costs.

Avoid this professor at all costs. Will nitpick at any and every little thing on your discussion posts and homeworks and will mark you off heavily for it.

There's a lot of work required for this class, even more than the 5 credit class I'm taking. Assignments are tedious and you have to closely follow the rubic or you'll lose points for the smallest error. Class isn't even over yet and I wish I dropped sooner.

Pro. Henninger's ANTH02H course is great for any honors students and anthro. majors. The assignments are mostly short 2–3-page essays. They are time consuming, and she is a tough grader, however, she allows resubmissions for full credit. Her lectures are interesting and require little to no participation. She also gives great feedback. 10/10

The assignment templates are easy to follow, but is very nitpicky in grading (lost many points to italics). You need to cite literally everything (discussions too). Quizzes are easy and there's corrections/extra credit which helps with the grade side of the class. Overall the course isn't difficult but if anything somewhat of an inconvenience.

Class is elementary and straightforward. Usually 1 assignment per week which is either a quiz, discussion, or a worksheet, some weeks have 2 and some have none. They are tedious but easy, just follow the directions. Does take points off for little things but it's only 1-2 out of 50 points. Extra credit on every quiz. Getting an A is simple and easy

I reccomend this class for people who are in the honors program. There was no exams or quizzes (even midterms or final). It was only just research papers that were pretty easy to do in my opinion. She does record attendance sometimes but a lot of people tend to not go because you're not missing out that much. She allows resubmissions. late included

She is a really good professor and is very passionate about the topics that she teaches. Overall really good, but personally wouldn't take her again as she makes you do work that requires going out and talking to people, which granted is what you need to do in Anthropology. Would recommend, but not the best for introverts.

She cares way too much about a paper format. Formatting the paper incorrectly will deduct your paper more than 30%. Last assignment (ritual ethnography) is worth a lot, and is graded heavily. Seems like an easy class unless you do not to everything exactly how she wants it. You mess up on something, you're screwed. No care or respect to students.

If you like EXTRA then take her, she's looking for specific little details in responses that she isnt specific about to begin with. If you are putting that much effort into an INTRODUCTION discussion you might need to reevaluate your choices. Uhm no thank you miss let me not get myself into a stressful situation. DROP

Tedious but easy assignments. Make sure to follow the directions or else you will get points deducted. Quizzes are based off the lectures. Resubmissions are allowed on hw and some extra credit on every quiz. Allows late submissions but you have to tell her in advance. Very strict on late hw policy. Easy A if u meet deadlines and manage your time.

She's an amazing professor. This class has truly changed the way I think. Yes, there is quite a bit of writing in this course but I don't think it's anything too excessive (about 2 papers every two weeks, and then a few short article summaries due every 2 weeks). She can be a bit particular w/ formatting but allows you to resubmit for up to a week!

I took her for cultural anthro and was pleasantly surprised, she's definitely tougher than your average prof at pcc but I could tell she actually cared and wanted me to do better. Anytime I had points taken off, she always gave me good, unbiased feedback - I also found the course itself interesting, so overall, good challenge, learned a lot.

I'm only taking this class as a credit to transfer, and I've never met a more nitpicky professor before; she hands out zeros like they're candy. For one of my assignments, she gave me a 0/100 because in my paper I missed ONE source that I had used in my essay, and I was given a zero, etc. Just super nitpicky.

pretty easy class but she grades really hard for a simple GE. she falsely accused me of using AI and gave me a 0, I had to prove my sources again just to get regraded even tho they were in the original submission. always docked off points for APA but was never clear what was wrong. be careful, put in the work for ez A.

Professor Henninger is truly wonderful. She has an incredible policy regarding coursework flexibility and is super understanding of mental health struggles as well as illnesses and other complications that may affect timely submission of assignments. Her lectures are thorough w/o being overwhelming, and it's clear that she cares for her students.

Turned in papers with >1% similarity, some APA formatting quirks with sophistication. Got told it was “certainly AI,” without further proof. Meanwhile, classmates who used actual AI got A's untouched. She nitpicks margins and spacing like it's a crime. Somewhat condescending and inconsistent. The lecture is alright. Choose only if no other choice.

Professor Henninger is tough, but only because she actually cares and wants people to succeed in the class. Her assignments are interesting, and she is very understanding if you need an extension. Don't abuse it, though! I plan to take another class with her in the future.

Her class wasn't very hard as long as you follow her instructions on formatting. There is typically one essay or discussion post a week but on a couple random weeks there were two which was very sudden and time consuming. Even though most of her assignments ask for two pages for the minimum, write extra for a more secure grade.
