Hensh is a great teacher. He expects good things out of his students, but is wonderful at answering questions and is pretty funny when he wants to be.

Comment:

Rick Hensh was a great calc 2 professor. His exams and quizes are sometimes on the more difficult side but if you go to class he does great lectures on the material. Also, he is very caring and put together weekend study session for our class. Be ready for bad dad jokes though!

EXTREMELY HARD CLASS. Be ready to put in work to pass, and even more if you would like to 4.0. Hensh is a very smart guy and definitely knows what he's talking about but spends more time 'proving' how to do things than explaining it. You don't really have to go to class, but hit up the MLC and do lots of homework problems if you're struggling.

He knows what he's talking about, but doesn't teach it well. He did not help explain anything in lecture. I was lost from the beginning, so I failed the course. I would advise looking for a different professor.

The class is difficult but he does a good job teaching. Don't buy the book unless you use to it study. Prof puts plenty of optional practice problems online as well as helpful homework problems. He is very approachable and has no problem putting in extra time to help you

Comment:

I had the "honor" of studying high school math with Mr. Hensh. Yes, I did say Mr. Hensh, as he does not have a PhD. Mr. Hensh enjoyed rambling on about the importance of knowing vocabulary and only glossed over crucial topics. He would get lost halfway into a proof and realize that he hadn't done it right. If you love learning on your own, take him

Explains the vocab way too much. Rarely teaches actual problems. If you want to teach yourself then I suggest him. Anyone else try to avoid him at all costs.

Comment:

Its a hard class but he is a great man and very helpful outside the classroom. Well respected family man. He is a hard grader, or at least the TA was. But he teaches difficult concepts very well and is very approachable if you don't understand. I recommend him 100% for anyone taking on calc 2

Thinks he is talking to Graduate students and so explains mathematical situations quite obscurely.

Fairly hard class, but Hensh tries his best to help out. I'm retaking it with a different teacher to raise my grade.
