Bill Henders has a dry, off-brand and zany sense of humor and I found his lectures very entertaining and engaging. He is a self-acclaimed tangent-man and it was always fun to see him acknowledge his tangents and then try to get back on the beaten path. He answered questions and always responded promptly to emails. I enjoyed the class tremendously

I loved Prof. Henders!! Although he tends to go off on a ramble with his lectures, he makes sure to let you know what you need to know and study for the texts'. The test are fairly easy with common sense and the notes he provided each class. If he skips some stuff on the notes then go to your chapters in your book. Down to earth and inspiring prof

One of the best teachers Ive ever had at grcc. He truly cares about his students and Ive never felt more included in a lecture class before. He has a way of keeping your attention for 3 hours straight lecturing and its truly incredible. This is a great teacher, hes truly understanding and is there to help you succeed

This professor was great! He really puts his heart and soul into his lectures! You can tell he is passionate about teaching Psychology! Take good notes and you will pass the pop quizzes! Study hard for the final as it is known to be difficult. Very easy going and laid back! Open to discussing just about anything! Would so take this class again!

While Psychology wasnt my favorite class to take, Mr. Henders made it enjoyable. His lectures are very interesting and he makes the subject matter as easy as possible to understand. He was extremely clear on grading, what was expected, and what you needed to do to pass. He also gave multiple chances for extra credit.

I had no trouble passing his class. He can get a bit boring and rant on about random stuff, but he's also a pretty lenient grader. He gives good extra credit opportunities, which is nice and getting good grades is not that hard

I loved professor Henders! Best class I have taken so far. If youre interested in psychology then youll love his lectures. His teaching method is very engaging. If you do not find your self interested by psychology you might not find it as Intriguing but he explains what you need to know very clearly to pass this class.

Great hybrid class for COVID. Not overbearing & rarely any assignments besides book chapter for the week & test - can take 3 attempts which is amazing for getting the best grade! Interesting lectures, has experience in clinical psychology & gives info for managing life as well as test material. No busy work allows for focus on material. Loved him!!

Mr. Henders is an amazing professor. I came into this class thinking it was going to be a challenge and a struggle. That was not the case at all. He was easy to follow with his lectures and he kept my interest with what he talked about. I had some health issues during the semester and he showed compassion and was very understanding.

Professor Henders is a great person and always has stories to tell, his class is not very complicated and I learned a decent amount. If you really want to dig deep into psych terms I would not recommend him, he is more laid back in this way.

I was not excited about this class but I had a great time. Like others have said, he can ramble but I think it adds to the quality of content. He is a very caring instructor and very knowledgeable. He did not have a ton of things to be graded on for the class so it is important not to skip anything. I would take a class from him again.

Hender's was great! The class was lecture heavy but everything outside of class was simple. Reading quizzes done online and at home from the textbook, 10 in-class quizzes, and one essay. The directions for everything are given at the beginning of the semester. Take notes! Super light homework each week. Would 100% recommend Hender's.

Prof. Henders is a very kind and genuine person. His class is VERY lecture-heavy, which could be very boring at times. His class is heavily based on the textbook, and you will have a reading quiz for each of the 9 chapters completed over the semester. He does In class quizzes ever so often, basically a pop quiz on that days lecture.

Professor Henders is engaging in lectures, though the material can get a bit dry at times. Take good notes, use the textbook, and try unstuckstudy to streamline your study prep. The course has manageable assignments and multiple quiz attempts. I'd recommend this class for psych fans.
