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

Comment:

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

Comment:

Henders isnt awful but his lectures are super unorganized and always tie into his own life, leading to tangents, very often. He is a very good guy but he never seems to have an actual lesson plan. Never uses power points or follow along notes. Just scribbles on the board

Comment:

Professor Henders is an awesome teacher and I highly recommend taking his class. The class can be kind of long and boring, but he tries to make it interesting and weave in personal stories. He is very understanding if you have personal issues and fall behind a little and will even help you out. Post tests and final were pretty easy if prepared.

Professor Henders is awesome. Be sure to give yourself enough time to do your paper and post tests. He gives you lots of time to get it done, but you do not want to slack. The post tests are difficult, but you can easily get an A if you try. Overall, he's a cool teacher and really cares for his pupils. Take good notes and make flash cards.

Comment:

This dude is rad! I loved this class. Although the class could get boring based on the lectures, he normally let us out early and was overall pretty understanding. The work was not difficult, as long as you completed it there was no issue. He is a nice, funny guy. He scribbles on the board but just follow along and you'll be fine. Overall great!

Comment:

By far my favorite professor and teacher that I've had. He is very funny and entertaining which keeps me always paying attention to him. Some people say that he lectures about his own personal stuff, but he just gives a lot of real life examples which will help you with the final exam a ton. Overall, I loved him and his class!

Comment:

Doesn't provide a thorough explanation of psychology. Relates lectures to his own problematic life. Very disorganized. He just scribbles all over the board and rambles on endlessly with no point. If you want an easy A he is the professor for you, but if you want to learn choose a different professor because I have learned NOTHING.

Comment:

Everyday in psych was the same. We'd sit down and listen to him lecture WITH NO PURPOSE for 90 minutes. He was easily distracted and didn't appear to come with a lesson plan. If you don't want to learn about psychology, take this class. I did hw for other classes during the class. If you do want to learn about psych find ANY other prof.

I took this class during summer semester, very easy. Quizzes every week on lecture and text book material. Quizzes are on key terms, know them. Relates the majority of the material to his personal life. His lectures don't follow the book but he informs you about it off the bat. Laid back professor, easy grader.

Relates the lecture to his own life, not terrible it just didn't allow for much time for learning. Most of the class was spent relating it to himself.

Comment:

He is helpful if you ask. Class can be supper boring if you are not into psychology. It can be interesting. An essay A if you participate and he sees that you are willing to be there. Not a hard grader. I would recommend it. He is not very much my learning style but I think he is good.

Awesome professor! Henders was probably the best professor I've had at GRCC. He makes class so interesting, and his lectures are extremely relatable. He encourages the class to think differently, and he is very laid back. There was only one paper, and it was easy. The tests are online and 25 questions. Pretty straight forward. Loved this professor.
