She failed me and I still came back for more! Henderson is cool and totally gives you a second chance. Came down to the computer lab to help us when we were completely lost with stats. Classy lady and gsoh. 360 way more fun that 217

I thought this course was going to be fun - but it got worse with each lecture - U can fully B.S. your way through the whole thing - She definitly thinks a lot of herself.

Worst prof at WLU. Her lecture was an exact duplicate of the text. Didn't know why I had to attend every single of her lecture. She thinks she's better than most of others. Very discouraging, unapproachable, and intimadating. thank god I only had her once!

She's awesome. The course is dry as the Sahara but she tries hard to tell funny stories and analogies to keep students entertained. She's super helpful and learns everyone's names. TOTAL SWEETHEART. Loved her.

A great prof. She makes her time available to you, and is very helpful to keep you on the right track. Midterm and final was ungodly long and difficult. Don't worry too much about textbook readings. She also has this strange ability to remember your first AND last name.

totally opposite problem with this class - book was boring and $$$ and different from last year so couldn't buy used - nice enough lady. uses lots of examples and has freaky memory for names even if you dont go to class- get a full set of lecture notes or fail. midterm is brutal

She is a very smart professor, and it shows greatly in her lectures. She likes to put a lot of info into a small amount of time and lectures quite fast. She makes you work hard. Attend her classes and you are set for a B.
