Brother Henderson is an amazing professor. His lectures are hilarious and you learn a ton! He gives great feedback and makes sure that you understand each concept. Did I mention he's hilarious? I had taken a similar class to this at another University and hated it, but Brother Henderson made Communication Writing fun, interesting and viable.
My favorite COMM teacher by far. He's very knowledgeable about what's going on in industry and is ready to help with anything even if it's not related directly with class. He's serious when it matters and funny when it's appropriate. Def recommend especially if Journalism is your Emphasis.
One of the best teacher I've ever had. He cares about his students and is very helpful. He is also hilarious be ready to laugh. I always looked forward to his class. He understands the industry and where the industry is going. Unlike a lot of comm teachers who are still in the past, he's very in the present. He's young too so very relatable
Best Communications teacher i've come across! He is a fair grader and is always there to talk with you about your score. You can tell that he truly cares about each student. I was so lucky to be able to take 111 from him! I want to take more of his classes but I'm not a journalism emphasis... if you want a fun class Take HIM!
It's really frustrating because he doesn't post the assignments on I-Learn. If he would have posted them on I-Learn, I guarantee I would have gotten an A. Hopefully he changes that soon otherwise he's fine.
Brother Henderson is one of my favorite teachers in more ways than one. He teaches you real life writing skills that you will use throughout your life in ANY career. Super funny, and willing to help in any way he can. He expects you to do your best, but is very reasonable with grading. Would definitely take again.
My favorite teacher this semester! I learned a lot from him. He's a great teacher and is also extremely funny. Like literally everything he says is funny. But he's still professional and is there to help. Just don't miss a lot of class because if you do your grade drops considerably. Not sure if that's his rule or the department's though.
Mr. Henderson shapes the class with his humor and exciting personality. Because this is a writing class, be ready to write at least a paper a week. He likes to leave assignments open-ended. It bothered me when he changed the schedule frequently at the end of the semester but that is just about the only downside from this class.
Brother Henderson is funny but he is a harsh grader and is not easily satisfied. He sent me into deep depression when he graded assignments, but had me laughing sick in class.
Brother Henderson is an enthusiastic, funny guy who knows his stuff. He's a little disorganized and assignments did not follow the schedule at all, but if you're in class you'll know what you need to do. He gives news quizzes randomly to encourage people to attend, but attendance is not required. I learned a lot from his class. Would take again!
Best ever
Bro. Henderson is so funny! He's young, so he gets the college life. He isn't here to waste our time on pointless assignments. His attendance is not mandatory, however, if you do show up, he will give extra points. His schedule is all over the place. He knows his stuff. I really learned a lot of a class I was not looking forward to. Take him!
Brother Henderson will change your life for the better. Be prepared for sass, but he's also the most helpful and encouraging professor I've taken.
Brother Henderson is the best. The class time flew by so fast and i learned a ton. he's always willing to visit with you and just chat. He's understanding by fair grader. The attandabce is not mandatory, but I wouldn't want to skip the class. So much good stuff. This class made me chane my emphasys and look into the journalism.
Everyday is super fun and enjoyable to come to class! He's a super funny teacher! You'll have quite a bit of homework but he is really flexible and respectful with his due dates.
If given the opportunity, I will take Henderson again. This class is challenging, but it has also been my favorite class. Very heavy in writing, which is to be expected. He makes the class very informative, but his humor lightens the load of the work to be done. He makes us think for ourselves, but gives great feedback. Take him as much as you can.
Brother Henderson's class was the best! I learned so much and feel more confident in my writing! There are a lot of assignments, but he is always willing to help out!
Bro. Henderson's main thing was preparing us to be real media writers, so if he was little scatterbrained or changed our deadlines 20 times or didn't give us much feedback, he would just shrug and say, "That's real life." A solid choice as a teacher; he's funny, realistic, and not really tough if you put in the effort.
Does not give specific help
Took the Comm111 class. 100% recommend taking this class from him. Lots of writing assignments, but that's the class. He is funny and will give you feedback if you ask for it. He is an awesome professor!
Brother Henderson is an awesome teacher! The class seemed difficult at first but once I got the grading and expectations figured out, it was a lot easier. He truly cares about his students and makes class very enjoyable! Highly recommend!
Brother Henderson is my all-time favorite professor. As long as you participate in class and arent afraid to speak up, you will LOVE his class. He taught me soo much on how to be a better writer, citizen, and overall person. If you dont get his awesome sense of humor, though, you may not enjoy his class as much. 10/10 recommend.
Brother Henderson is hilarious and knows his stuff; he's young and always shares random internet crap that I happen to love at random times. The one thing is he is new to Canvas, so I don't know my grade in his class, and he's tough to reach outside of class. He's genuinely a good teacher, but I felt a little lost. Work hard, and you'll be fine.
Brother Henderson is a fun teacher, he tends to go off on tangents which can be a little distracting. He is a good teacher, relatively new, so still trying to figure out his teaching style.
You can't not love this class. Brother Henderson is hilarious and spontaneous. He is always super late getting grades in but his class is so much fun it makes up for it. Stephen is a hip dude who likes to read news and compliment people's sweaters.
Don't let the first day fool you. He likes to get the hard stuff over with so he can get to the fun. Every class is engaging and he makes connections to how everything is going to be used in the real world. Super hilarious and chill, treats students like equals, and he can make you just as passionate about communication as he is.
Brother Henderson (or Bro Hendo, as he likes to call himself) is one of the best COMM teachers. He teaches in a way that is easy to understand and my writing greatly improved in his class. He is willing to meet with students and work with them outside of class and he cares for each of his students. His only downside is that feedback is slow.
Henderson is one of my favorite teachers i have had at BYU-Idaho! Don't let the first day freak you out, he likes to make it kinda weird to see what your reactions will be. The class itself is pretty easy and straight forward as long as you try you're guaranteed to pass. He is very genuine and realistic! One of the best COMM classes you'll take!
Hendo was great. He ditched trying to force all this information about writing and really cared more about how each person has an individual voice to write. He is very uplifting when it comes to your papers. Best COMM teacher out!
Hendo is the best professor I've had at BYU-I. I've taken him twice. He cares about his subject and his students and will help you improve. He doesn't micromanage, so expect to be an adult by attending class and keeping up with work, but also expect him to be flexible and human. Oh yeah, and he always has time for you to visit his office. Good guy!
Extremely vague on his assignments. Didn't put anything in Canvas so he could get people to come to class to "explain" the hw. I attended class every single time, on time, and he never explained it very well. When you got a grade back, he never gave any feedback, so you never knew what you did wrong. Hard for him to answer even simple questions.
Bro. Henderson is really a gem. He's very helpful to his students and wants them to succeed. He does not put assignment info in canvas so it's important to be there for class. This the second time taking a class from him (Comm 101 and now a practicum) I highly recommend taking any of his classes, he's pretty chill but expects you to do the work!
For a communications teacher, he's bad at communicating. Nothing was ever organized on canvas, due dates and times were often messed up, and no instructions or rubric were given for any assignment. Emails were often left unread until pointing them out in class. I never felt confident turning hw in bc of the lack of instructions and feedback.
Brother Henderson is a good professor. He wants to help his students start writing more creatively. He's really chill
Brother Henderson is fantastic. His lectures are full of hilarity and useful knowledge; his class will teach you things both about writing and yourself. I really enjoyed the writing assignments we had - my *only* critique of Brother Henderson is that I never really learned how to write the pitches the whole semester. Anyways, go meet this dude!
Bro Henderson is so much fun, a great writer, and I really enjoyed taking Advanced Media Writing from him. However, he doesn't grade anything quickly, expect to turn in your final draft without having your rough draft graded often. But if you bring it up in class or email him or go to his office hours, he's always willing to help.
Doesn't explain things too well, and has random pop quizzes regarding random topics that weren't assigned to us. Also doesn't have good communication regarding assignments and what you need to do.
If you struggle with mental health, I DON'T recommend taking Brother Henderson's class. After some personal issues, I emailed to see if we could talk. After multiple ignored attempts to contact him, I finally just walked into his office. Ultimately he told me to better plan my life and to retake the class if I failed. Won't be taking from him again
Very funny guy, super easy to talk to! He does give a generous amount of homework but they're so easy to do.
I really didn't like the vibe that he gave off, it was very passive-aggressive. He also gave no help in assignments that I needed help with. He doesn't explain things well at all and expects you to just know everything about the subject. If you ask him for help, he will specifically not assist you.
This class was unnecessarily stressful. Brother Henderson does not explain things well and so the huge writing assignments are extremely hard to do. He will NOT help with your papers and assignments in any way and expects you to ask him in class. Honestly one of the most prideful and worst teachers I have ever had.
I really hated this class. I was extremely stressed the whole time and felt that I received no support from the teacher. Thankfully I had a cool classmate to relieve some of the stress. He is incredibly bad at teaching, ironically because he is a COMM teacher.
Really funny teacher and makes class enjoyable. However, his organization is not good. I found that his assignments were easy to understand, but he didn't give feedback on our writing. If he fixed his organization and actually graded and gave feed back he would be an easy 5 star teacher.
AWESOME teacher. But always pay attention in class or you won't understand assignments because he doesn't often do descriptions. Get on his good side and you'll be fine; camera on and make him laugh. Email with questions, but he wants us to learn how to do things ourselves and can be critical if he thinks a question is unnecessary. Great teacher.
Hes like the favorite uncle at the family reunion. Hes very helpful, clear on expectations, and wants you to do well.
Very unprofessional. Acts like a child. Tithing money down the drain, wasted on this professor. Very arrogant.
Coolest bald dude I know!! Definitely taking more of his classes.
I have had this professor twice now. One class was really hard, and this one was easy. However, both classes have been enjoyable learning experiences for me. Some might not like his chill demeanor and call it unprofessional, but he's one of few professors that I feel I can talk to in class.
Brother Henderson is a very fun and entertaining teacher. He is very knowledgeable and experienced which allows him to give good feedback and great lectures. He is understanding and tries to help the best he can with his assignments.
Brother Henderson is hilarious & makes sure to keep class fun. He is invested in your personal life & is for real like the fun uncle. He is always willing to discuss your papers & gives good feedback when asked. The class is occasionally boring because it's writing but he tries to make it bearable. Follow the rubric and you'll be fine. I recommend.
If anyone on here has committed libel against Hendo, expect a lawsuit coming your way. He is literally the best professor I've ever had in the COMM department. He's flexible and a true comedian. He doesn't grade attendance, but it's important to be there because his assignments on Canvas don't have much instruction. Overall, he's a reasonable guy.
He is my favorite professor. Expect to have fun in his class. You will have a few classes that feel pointless though, he gets distracted easy. But overall, he's great and easy to work with, entertaining, and kind.
He is different than other teachers he truly cares about you and learning real life stuff.
Brother Henderson is a great professor who encourages class participation. I found that the class projects and assignments were well organized and clear on the rubric. Expect a good laugh each class and to leave with not only a good understanding on the subject but with a lot of great memories.
I loved the way the Professor Henderson ran the class. It was a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere with really interesting and funny lectures. This class is a writing class so be prepared to write. He was slower at getting the grades into the grade book. Over all, definitely will try to take a class from him again.
So you thought you were joining a communications class, well you're partially right but you're also in a comedy club. Brother Henderson is one of the funniest and best professors I've ever had, what he may lack in hair he completely makes up for in his sense of humor and perspective of the world.
Pay attention to what he says in class, the assignment descriptions won't be in Canvas (usually), he relays it verbally His teaching style is a hit or miss, you like it or you don't Don't hesitate to reach out, he is willing to meet with you if you need help You will do a variety of writings in class, goes from memoirs to news articles
Brother Henderson is a fun teacher and is pretty casual. He is slow at grading work and sometimes can be tough on how he grades. Attendance isn't mandatory, but often he describes his assignments in class and they often don't have descriptions unless its a final draft and there is a rubric. Overall a relatively easy, entertaining class!
Brother Henderson was a good teacher. I learned a lot, but I think I would have learned more if he used a bit of a more effective teaching style. Make sure you take notes, they will help you. He doesn't post information about assignments on canvas. Overall, he was really fun to be in class with. I know he wants you to succeed, just do your best.
Overall, a solid dude and would highly recommend his class.
I would highly recommend Brother Henderson if you were looking for an instructor who is entertaining and wants to help you succeed. I would for sure take his class again.
Brother Henderson is awesome. Coming to class is super important for your grade and to understand assignments because he doesn't put much in Canvas. The lack of Canvas use would be my biggest critique by far. Overall, he's a super kind and loving professor. The class isn't too hard but definitely more work than most 100-level classes. Hendo rocks!!
He's actually the best! Focus during class because you won't find the details on Canvas, but he will make this class so fun! He's more than happy to discuss grades and wants you to become a great writer. His personal style can take some adjusting to, but you'll love it once you're used to it.
Brother Henderson is a great teacher! At first, I wasn't sure how I felt about his class but in the end, it was a great course, and I learned a lot. He is not afraid to give you real advice but at the same time he is very kind when he does correct you. He also was the funniest teacher I had the whole semester!
Brother Henderson is such a caring person, who wants his students to succeed. He loves to talk to his students for a while before class. I learned a lot of skills that will transfer to whatever job I choose in the future, and he showed us many examples to help understand good writing vs. bad writing.
Brother Henderson was probably my favorite professor this semester! He doesn't lecture much, but when he does, it's energetic! He is always open to clarifying any students' questions, before and after assignments have been graded. Hendo also lets us know that if we ever need someone to confide in, he is there for us.
Henderson was a solid teacher. He didn't include very many instructions for the assignments, but that's exactly why you need to attend class. It's not mandatory, but you'll get lost if you skip. He also kept things funny and lighthearted. Would recommend.
Brother Henderson is delightful chaos. He sometimes forgets to teach stuff, and his chaotic powers can be intimidating at the start of the semester. It gets easier as the semester goes on- he's just trying to scare you into being responsible. He might teach you more than you signed up for. Just be prepared for the chaos.
Very useful class. Bro. Henderson is really funny so he makes the classes entertaining. Would def take again.
Forces humor in all situations. Says that attendance isn't mandatory but that participation is, and that because I didn't communicate (which was understandable and in the syllabus) I ended up failing the class when I had a 93% but was not attending after the first month. This happened a week 1/2 after the last day to withdrawal and get a "W".
He is the most amazing Human on earth. He is funny and an amazing prof! He gives great feedback and treats each students so great. He do has great passion and experience in his lectures!!!
Bro Henderson is a great friend but I'm not sure he is a great teacher. His class is incredibly relaxed and attending his course feels like a high school class - unorganized, chaotic, and uninformative. He also does not put any information on Canvas and the majority of your grades are participation/ just submitting the assignment. Easy A class
Brother Henderson is super relaxed. Sometimes he would just randomly look things up in class that popped into his mind. He often includes lots of videos in his lectures.
This is a chill class. if you just do the work, you will get an A. Also there is not that much homework. I spent like 1 or 2 hours a week on homework at the maximum.
Brother Henderson's COMM 140 class was amazing! I learned so much in his COMM 140 class! Highly recommend, he's hilarious!
Brother Henderson's COMM 140 was amazing! His lectures were super insightful and I learned so much! Highly recommend, he's hilarious!
I absolutely love Hendo!! He is so hilarious and adds so much to to learning through personal experiences and humor. I actually look forward to going to his classes. Seriously my favorite teacher ever
Brother Henderson is such a fun teacher. His classes were super enjoyable, and we would watch a ton of videos. I took two of his classes this semester and loved them both. The only thing I didn't like, is that he wouldn't put directions on assignments in canvas, so you have to make sure you're paying attention in class.
I loved having Brother Henderson. He made class interesting, exciting, and fun. You can tell her really cares about communications and his students. He is willing to help whenever you need it.
Amazing teacher. Very warm and engaging. Knows how to keep your attention and pretty savvy.
Class is always fun, you never know what might happen. He explains everything very well, however, there were a lot of problems with the due dates on canvas so we had to keep letting him know, he would change it to be accurate and worked well with everyone on it though.
Brother Henderson is great! This class only meets once a week with very little homework so it was honestly so chill. He's funny, but tbh wouldn't have gone to class if attendance wasn't mandatory just because we don't really do anything besides discuss what we already read. I hear he doesn't do attendance for his other classes though.
Brother Henderson is great! This class only met once a week so it was really chill. Although I really love the professor, I wouldn't have gone if attendance wasn't mandatory since we just discuss what we already read in the textbook from that week. Honestly such a chill and funny guy though, I wish more of my classes were like this.
The class is supported by the readings you do on your own time.The projects and discussions were not very meaningful because they were never talked about in class, but that is because this class is a hybrid course. Br. Henderson is very engaging and passionate about the material. He is very student focused and encourages students to meet with him.
Hendo is one of the best professors here at BYU-Idaho! His ability to connect with students and make learning fun are incredible, and his assignments he gives really teach you something valuable.
This professor is super kind and really funny
Hendo is super funny, and very well versed. Nothing is super hard with COMM140, and I highly recommend taking classes from him!!
Brother Henderson was a really fun teacher. He was able to explain the course content in an engaging and exciting way. He was super nice and cared a lot about his students.
Brother Hendo is Awesome! I absolutely will take any class from him.
Very funny and personable professor. Very reasonable and understanding. Makes learning in the classroom engaging and enjoyable. You can definitely tell that teaching groups of people are his calling in life.
Brother Henderson, is great although be aware if you don't show up to class this will effect your grade.
Brother Henderson is my favorite teacher. He's like a stand-up comedian! He's not just funny, but very knowledgeable in his field. You can tell he cares about genuine learning more than appeasing an arbitrary point system to get by and graduate.
Hendo is a great instructor and he makes class fun and enjoyable while also teaching the students a lot of vital information they need for their future comm careers.
I really like how he teahces!
i loved hendo. his teaching style is student engagement and humor. i was confused about the class at first, but he made it a breeze. even though i hated writing, hendo helped me to discover my inner writer. he's easy
Brother Hendo is easily one of my favorite teachers because of how he made a class I would usually consider boring, very interesting and fun. I also feel like I retained a lot of the information we learned in class and it will stick with me!
Honestly so great. He explained assignments to us and is very realistic with his expectations. The only concern with the course was the final. It wasn't too difficult but it only really covered what we learned the last few weeks of class. Anyways my favorite teacher this semester.
I LOVE Brother Hendo. Best professor I have had at this school thus far. He cares about his students and makes sure to know them individually, and the class work is fun and interesting. Class discussions are lively and he is honestly hilarious which makes it easy to stay engaged. The work load is not bad at all, it is very reasonable. 10/10!
HENDO DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. I love his teaching style so much. He is an extremely fair grader, gives good feedback, and gives a perfect workload. I absolutely loved COMM111. The assignments were fun and never felt stupid busy work. I will forever recommend Bro Hendo to anyone who wants to have a good time and make friends in class. Oh and learn lol.
This is my second class taken from Br. Henderson, and he is my favorite teacher on campus. Sometimes classes suck when the teacher doesn't enjoy what's taught, but this isn't the case! He's very passionate about what's taught, and it shows. I would write more, explaining all the great things he does, but a 350-character limit is not enough sadly :(
He is funny and bald
Brother Henderson is my favorite professor i've ever had! Taking his class changed my life and my career path! He makes writing fun and engaging, as long as you participate and try your best you will be good to go! Definitely take his class you will not regret it.
Hendo is a fantastic professor! He's very knowledgeable about his subjects, and invested in helping the students learn. He's willing to joke around a lot and make it fun, without ruining the lesson.
Hendo was great, he's funny and makes the class work fun. Each assignment helps you actually learn and there wasn't ever an assignment or class day that didn't feel like it was worth it.
Very fun and laid back, but you learn a lot. The class isnt hard at all if you stay on top of the work :)
Hendo is the bomb. The class is so much more fun when you joke around and participate. He is very clear on what he wants you to do. I highly recommend going into his office and asking for clarification if you need it. He doesn't have a ton of work throughout the semester but you do need to make sure you do it right. Would take again 10/10.
Super fun class. Teacher is funny and caring. I learned a lot. Not too many assignments, pretty fair workload.
Brother Henderson / Hendo is an awesome teacher! He doesn't fail to make you laugh during every class. He will easily create time to do one on one work and teaching with you. He's great about answering all questions in class. I would suggest his class - it's very fun + you learn lots about writing!
Hendo is the best! He is super funny. If you speak up and participate in class, it's 10x more fun. Attendance isn't graded (most of the time), but he does not put instructions for assignments in Canvas, you have to be in class or text someone from class to get the instructions. There are about 1-2 easy writing assignments due each week.
Brother hendo is wonderful. I took comm 111 and I learned so much. He teaches in an organic way where he lets you figure things out and guides you along the way. Best professor yet.
Brother Henderson is great! Just make sure that you stay on top of your work. As much as he is a great teacher, his course is a little tuff to nail down at times. That being said, as long as you make sure that you ask good questions and keep on track you'll do great and have lots of fun.
I loved this class so much. The learning was very applicable to journalism and news writing. The class environment was positive and silly. Brother Henderson really cares about us and he gives direct feedback and instruction.
Professor Henderson is very passionate about what he teaches. He is hilarious and makes the coursework engaging. I learned a lot in his class. I will definitely take classes from him in the future!
He make me laugh, lots
You will never be bored in Henderson's class. Super funny guy. His assignments are interesting and fun to complete. You have to be in class to hear instructions or be able to get them from someone else. Overall, a great professor.
I have never learned more about writing. He's supportive, funny, and keen to give us more understanding. He influenced many of us to push ourselves to write better. Teachers like him make us want to attend class and enjoy learning more. If you're uncertain about an assignment, just ask. It isn't always clear on Canvas.
The time spent in class always brightens the day. There is never a wasted day with him. He cares about each of his students and takes the time to teach valuable skills while being entertaining. I loved his class and would recommend him to everyone!
Henderson's class is fun and engaging, with fair and manageable workloads.
His head looks like it was poured from a cake mold. Witowy. It's so shiny and perfect. I would seriously recommend watching Hot Rod or arrested development before taking this class. Trust me... It's important... Hendo the illest to eva eva do it.
Love Hendo! Super chill and fun to have in class. Lots of homework, but is an easy grader.
Love Hendo! Super chill and fun to have in class. Lots of homework, but grading is easy.
He thinks he's funny - he's not. One time he yelled at me while I was sick in front of the entire class “GET OUT! GO AWAY!” (are you kidding me??) Very unhelpful with assignments. NEVER answers emails. Not a fan.
I had to keep a list of all the reasons I didn't like him only to not have a feedback to instructor at the end of the semester. Very rude and never answers emails with questions.
Professor Henderson is a fun and engaging lecturer. The class workload is reasonable, and he makes learning enjoyable. Definitely try Unstuck study alongside other study tools like ChatGPT.
One of, if not the best teacher I've had on campus! He might try to scare you in the first couple of days, but once you realize its a joke, he's a blast!
Bro. Henderson is a great professor, and I would take him again if I could! He's super funny and relatable but does not give a lot of instruction on assignments, so you have to figure a lot of it out yourself. There are not very many assignments either, but attendance is still super important in his class
I love Hendo! I'm taking another course from him next semester. This course in particular had a decent bit of busy work, but it was nothing too difficult. I highly recommend taking courses from Brother Henderson. He cares about his students and does his best to make class fun and engaging. My grade does not reflect his teaching at all.
Brother Henderson was a great teacher! At the beginning of the semester I was a little intimidated and stressed but there is no need to be. He is super funny and is good at teaching the concepts we need to know.
I love Brother Henderson, he clearly expresses what he wants from you. However, the assignment instructions are not on canvas, he only tells you them in class, so you can't really miss. I would also recommend writing down the instructions when he tells you, for the same reason.
Don't let the first day scare you! I almost dropped the class after the first day...but I am so glad I didn't!! Hendo is so funny and he is helpful if you have any questions! This class is a lot of papers but that is how the course will be no matter what teacher you take!
Hybrid Class Brother Hendo is the best! He's a great teacher who cares about your success & is highly entertaining. He has fantastic insights, even in this required class for COMM majors & knows how to create an environment where you feel comfortable participating. Not a tough class at all, but a lot of fun!
We jumped right into realistic assignments that most of us will probably use in the future. I learned so many new skills and had great experiences. Chill environment, not too much homework.
Henderson was honestly a super good professor!! It was an easy class if you attended and paid attention! He makes it super fun!
Hendo is a treat. As a non communications major, I don't particularly enjoy writing much less a writing class. Hendo made it fun and simple. I'd recommend him to anyone.
Brother Hendo is an incredible teacher. He truly cares about you. He makes sure you learn something but he makes it fun. If you get the opportunity to take a class from him do it!
Henderson was a very good teacher, and if you're there and participating the class isn't too difficult!
Brother Henderson is an awesome teacher. The class itself isn't the most exciting and sometimes it feels like a lot of busy work, but he makes the class fun. He also incorporated a few videos and Teds during the semester that were really interesting and impactful, so that was nice. 10/10.
I loved having Hendo as my professor! He teaches in a way that is fun and he takes the time to actually get to know each of his students individually. Assignments are easy if you pay attention and I loved the creativity of the assignments as well.
Brother Henderson is one of my favorites. He has so much experience in this industry, and it shows: his feedback is amazing. Also, his classes are so fun. He loves joking around with his students.
I am a horrible writer but this class was fun and not super hard.
In the beginning it was tough because he just jumps right into new information without much explanation but he gives you a bunch of grace and as you go along it gets easier. You need to be in class or have a friend in class because he gives no explanation of the assignments in canvas.
Hendo is hands down one of my favorite professors on campus. His class is fun, unique, and impactful—you learn a lot! Show up to class and participate. Not only is it helpful for your grade, but it also changes you. You learn how to write, and you get a chance to reflect and think a little differently about your experiences.
Hendo is by far one of the best BYUI professor's i have ever had. The class is a little difficult at first but he will help explain each assignment as long as you show up. He doesn't always put directions on Canvas so attendance is mandatory to understand the assignment.
He is so fun and funny!! One of my favorite teachers I have ever had for sure. The class is super easy but one thing to be aware of is since it's hybrid a lot of the assignments kinda sneak up on you without my warning in class so just always look ahead and plan!
Professor Henderson (Hendo), is kind, blunt, clear and explains grammar and AP format structure in a fun, but very precise manner. His lectures are not only easy to follow but also entertaining. He genuinely cares for his students and is an awesome professor! I learned more about comma structure from him than any other teacher I've ever had.
Fun teacher and class.
Super fun professor that makes this usually boring class exciting! Attendance is mandatory since he goes over assignment instructions only in class.
This class was easy! When you meet once a week you just go over the textbook material and you learn great tactics to deal with media usage!
I loved Brother Henderson, he was a great teacher. There was never a dull moment he helped us learn the material in a fun way. He values attendance and participation. If you show up the whole semester and take each assignment and worksheets seriously you will improve your writing skills, do well in the class and on the final.
Treated the class with the exact amount of seriousness required. Didn't make a major-required class any harder than it needed to be, but also worked to make class worthwhile. Genuinely cares about his students.
Bro. Henderson's class was on of the most fun to have because I'm pretty sure he has ADHD and I have ADHD and I was in the loud/fun class (but it's not like he's unfocused and hard to learn from). Basically just try and write your assignments without worrying about perfectionism and you'll do fine, he's a lenient late work grader (which I needed).
He was extremely nice and a super funny guy. Attendance wasn't mandatory for the class and all his classes were just lectures about the reading. All the work is super self explanatory so if you don't attend the lecture you can still complete the work. There was just a lot of busy work and a lot of discussion boards.
Hendo is awesome! Stay caught up in your assignments and you'll do fine.
Super helpful when it comes to understanding what is expected. He is a very good professor and teaches well to help you understand.
This was a great class!
Love Hendo! My favorite professor and made this semester a blast!
Henderson's my favorite teacher here at BYUI. He's a great guy and you can tell he likes his job and cares about his students.
Was a Great class
I liked Bro. Henderson. He was fun, laid back and nice about accommodations. His classes are very "trial by fire." I learned the same amount in class as I did looking it up online. Assignments will pop up the day they're due, and all instruction is given during class. I'd take him again for the personality he brings to class.
Not to the fault of the professor, the way the class is designed makes most of the online assignments not match with the in-class discussions. They also feel unnecessary and not very helpful in teaching the actual skills needed.
A very laidback professor and class. Not a lot of structure in the class, which can be fun, but can also feel like a less valuable use of time.
Class was great, learned a lot. We had a lot of fun.

Do not recommend.
COMM111 ended up being my favorite class this semester all because of Henderson! He makes the classroom feel like a community and gave us plenty of opportunity to be ourselves and get to know each other. He is super funny and makes class entertaining for sure! Manageable amount of homework and the assignments were always relevant and necessary.
