Comment:

People who complain about Dr. Henry failed to understand his points. He simply has low tolerance for slackers, lazy or sloppy people. If you are not organized and cannot read or follow guidelines, do not take his class.

Comment:

he is the hardest and meanest teacher in the world!! he makes you feel extremely stupid if you dont know the material, but wants you to ask questions during class. YOU MUST ATTEND EVERY CLASS!! if you dont, you WILL fail. the programs and tests are hard, but the quizzes are easy.

Comment:

Unless you're already a nerd, you're not going to like this class. His lectures are boring, his approach is uninspiring, and it's extremely difficult to get help on the fundamentals of computer science.

His class wasn't hard at all, but I didn't feel he really knew the language. I could get answers from him for my assignments, but since he wrote the assignments, of course he could help me. But other than that, good luck.

Comment:

Took a Java class with Henry around 99 and also had 240. Fairly boring but stays focused and tries to cover the material. Learned a great deal. Does Henry still have that crazy comb over?

Comment:

The biggest jerk ever! If you have a question good luck, and you will have lots of them. Go to your TA, don't bother going to him b/c he wont help. If you have a question in class he belittles you in front of everyone. He just reads the notes online, don't bother going to class you wont learn.

Comment:

He likes to make you feel stupid if you ask a question in class but then expects everyone to ask something. Also, If you read the notes on-line then your set because all he does is read them out loud to you in class. If you need help in the class just ask

Read his class notes online. That's it. Don't bother coming to lecture except for notes. It's pointless and you'll just get confused. Until the last program I had a perfect 100% in the class.

Makes you feel really stupid if you ask a question. Not helpful at all.
