Comment:

McHenry is a total jerk. Will give you irrelevant opinions and idiotic ideas about why the class as a whole is failing. Do not care this teacher because he will waste your time and tuition. He blames everyone from your high school math teacher, to you, to the education system as a whole. Brags how he gives himself 5 ratings on this website.

Comment:

One of the worst teachers I've had in college. I'm usually an all A student, however this class was a stretch. He teaches you nothing in class and his tests (especially the last two) are ridiculous. I've learned nothing of use about statistics from this class! Take anyone else if possible!!! Overall, he's a nice person but HORRIBLE teacher!

Comment:

This professor is terrible and doesn't help at all. Any 5 ratings or snide somments about student failures is due to McHenry posting comments himself. He flaunted his opinion regarding this website and will regularly post a rating. If you take him be forewarned.

Comment:

Terrible teacher. Did not like his class and learned absolutely nothing. I hope this teacher reads this and realizes he helps no one with his condescending attitude and lack of clarity. The only thing worse than this teacher is his attitude. Avoid at all costs.

Comment:

The class should have been mostly review but the material rapidly became unbearable. The teacher is obnoxious and condescending and will not help in the slightest. Over 30 students dropped. Please avoid at all costs. I was warned but did not heed the advice and I had to drop with a W and put me behind a semester. Please learn from my experience.

I really don't see the reason for all of the complaining about McHenry; I'm guessing it's because I thought college would involve work or something.

HORRIBLE TEACHER! DON'T TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE TO MOVE EVERY OTHER CLASS TO MISS HIM! YOU CAN MAKE A GOOD GRADE IF YOU UNDERSTAND MATH AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK BUT DON'T EXPECT ANY HELP FROM HIM. HE WOULD RATHER LAUGH AT YOU AND TELL YOU YOU'RE STUPID THAN HELP....IF U TAKE HIM CLASS TAKE A BOOK TO READ!

Comment:

He talks way to fast for you to understand anything. He does not explain what he is teaching and makes he feel dumb if you ask a question. He teaches on a graduate school level and expects that you should have already have learned everything from high school. If I had a choice I would choice another prof.

Comment:

He is a very patient teacher. He explains things to you if you ask. He has hard tests unless you study for them. he is a little sarcastic- but if you ask something dumb- you will get a dumb answer.

Comment:

He talks too fast and will not help you understand. He expects you to be more advance. He is very hard. He actually laughs about failing everyone. I would definitely not take this class, because you will fail. Taking someone else is highly recommended.

Comment:

Very difficult teacher that stinks. I ended up dropping the class & attended another class to gain instruction,doing all the hw. 41 students to start with,was 10 at end & only 1 passed with a D. Very sarcastic & does not take blame where it is due. He is the poster boy for why tenure is bad.

Comment:

It's funny to see that after almost 20 years, he's still the same p***k that he's always been. In 1984, he came in to our calc final chuckling about "how noone's going to pass this." He should be the poster boy for why a college shouldn't have tenure.

He is very helpful. Will answer ANY questions you have in class. He grades hard, but all you have to do is actually DO the homework to get a good grade.

I didn't enjoy his class and no matter how much I studied I could barely pass a test with a D. His final was easy only b/c it came from our previous tests which we got to correct before, but I will never take this man again!

Comment:

I am a good student who has worked hard. I have been on the dean's list every semester. And I say, McHenry is the most confusing and worthless teacher I've ever had. Anyone who says different is most likely a girl, they seem to be the only ones passing.
