Comment:

Assignments unclear & often CHANGED close to due date so watch closely. Sneaky "Mixed Format" class also, so lots of online content. MUST check anncmnts & asgnmts pretty much hourly bcuz she will add or change things. you'd better plan on writing dramatic editorials of the scholarly type. She has no time for creative writers. You will NOT get an A.

Was unclear about everything. Made things harder than what they needed to be. No help at all when she gave feedback on your essays. I revised my essay one time and did all the changed and she didn't change the score. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

Comment:

It was a mix-mode class and for online assignments, there was no way to know what she wanted in them. Just vague descriptions of the assignment. Says one thing in class and changes her mind when online assignments come so the work has to be redone. The whole class is based on one research paper. Do NOT take this class with her, you'll regret it.

Extremely tough grader. I went out of my way to do my work and show up for feedback during office hours, yet she condecends me for missing class once.

Comment:

I have had her for 1101 and 1102 and she is honestly the worst professor I've ever had at UCF. She is VERY UNCLEAR and she contradicts herself all the time. She is the toughest grader and if it's not lined up with her views it's wrong. She's downright rude in class and very condescending. If you care about your sanity or GPA don't take her class.

Comment:

I have this prof once a week and the in class is somewhat enjoyable. We start with a writing warm up and then the wrest of the class is the lesson which is very interactive which I like. There isn't much work, only about one-two short assignment a week unlike other profs that have a few long papers due every week.

Comment:

This professor is the hardest (almost brutal) grader I have had to date. She is the person high school and middle school teachers warned you about. That being said, she taught me how to read on a deeper level, learning to note symbolism and techniques. Professor Henken is not an easy A but she is a very good instructor.

Honestly the most annoying professor. She lost my extra credit and claims I never gave it to her. Is very unclear. Harsh with grading. Don't take her class.

Comment:

So, I just finished my first semester at UCF. With the material given in class, youll think this is gonna be so easy, this information is for dummies. Sadly, youre wrong. She is the toughest grader. From high school ive managed to get a 7 on my IB literature exam and a 3 on my AP literature exam and yet I barely passed with a C in this class.

Hardest teacher ever. I had the highest grade in class and I barely got an A. Three big essays where half the class got an R for their grade, aka they have to revise their essay. Make sure to double check all of your work or else you wont pass.

Comment:

This teacher genuinely doesn't care about her students. She gives vague feedback. The only good thing is that you can revise and revise your essays for a better grade. Hard to understand the prompts. Made me hate writing. Super mean and sarcastic in class, condescendingly talks to her class.

Comment:

None of her feedback makes sense, and she is very rude about it. It takes an absurd amount of time for her to respond to any emails I send her. Whether you have been in college for a few years or you are an incoming freshman, I do not recommend this professor. Its her way or the highway.

Comment:

I liked her a lot. Yes, she is very tough. She does not sugarcoat her words at all. It comes across as a little brash at times but if you actually take note of her feedback and make improvements she will soften up and you will improve. She's actually very nice in person and highly approachable, so don't be afraid to go to her office hours for help.

Comment:

Writing warm ups every class, weekend writing every weekend. She is a tough grader, if she doesn't like it she will let you know. Class isn't as hard as it is said to be. But to pass you HAVE TO put effort. Its really easy to fall behind in her class. She is willing to help when you have questions and talk to her.

Comment:

She is the pickiest and toughest grader so it's like she makes it impossible to get an A. She thought a quarter of our class deserved a D or F on our FIRST PAPER. She made me feel like I should have come into the class knowing everything already. She is also very vague with what she wants on assignments. I would not recommend this professor.

She is so picky with her assignments. She rarely gives perfect scores and is slightly rude in her comments on papers. The class isn't hard its just tedious and you will work so hard to get mediocre grades.

I really liked her! She gives a lot of work (usually something due every class) so be prepared for that, but she's very clear about what she expects of her students. As a class, we came up with a rubric for how she was to grade our final paper, which is awesome. Overall, would definitely take again!

Comment:

Do NOT pick this professor! I worked SO hard to get an A- in this class. I worked harder in this class more than my 3 other classes combined. She never answers your questions. She is the most un-clear professor I have ever met. Expect homework EVERY single night. When you think you did good on an essay, think again- She'll tear your paper up.
