Comment:

I had Prof. Thomas in Fall 2018: first semester of college. 4 tests in the semester, each having roughly 100 questions from about 3-4 weeks of lectures. He tells you what to highlight and what will be on the test. He also offers extra credit for whoever reads the HW answers out loud. 6 pts each. Get to know your classmates & form a study group.

Take him! He has a weird sense of humor but you can get through it. He gives you everything that will be on the test. There are 4 exams and no final. 18 extra credit points that could be added onto the tests.

Comment:

Mr. Thomas Henry is one of the funniest teachers I have ever had. His sense of humor is very dry and many students don't take him seriously because of it. He only gave us 4 tests and the average of the 4 is your final grade. I studied 3-4 hours for each test and aced every one. He gives up to 12 extra test points if you do homework questions.

Homework every class. Four tests (non-cumulative) and no midterm or final. Lectures every class with PowerPoints. Get to leave class early most days.

Professor Henry is one of the best history professors. He gives the answers to every test during his lectures, but if you don't study, you will fail. There are four tests every semester, and he gives extra test points for participating in class.

Comment:

His class is pretty simple, you do the homework, and then next class you get a chance to read it for credit. You must volunteer for reading at least twice through the semester. The tests are all fill in the blank (around 70-100 questions) It isn't that bad, he highlights everything on the next exam, if you don't take advantage of that its on you.

Comment:

If you're looking for an easy gen-ed to take, then don't take him. There is A LOT of information on his tests. He tells you exactly what will be on it, but you have to study a lot or you will definitely fail. He's fair with homework and gives you up to 12 extra points on tests for doing it. If you don't wanna study, then avoid him.

Comment:

This class is def hard. There are like 4 tests and each are all 70-100 questions with maps included. Basically, if you don't study you WILL fail the course-I promise you. His instructions are straight forward, though, so it's a hit or miss with him. Homework is easy. But his tests are predominantly what make the class difficult. Otherwise, nice guy

Comment:

He gives 4 tests and no papers or projects. His teaching style is average and straight forward. Tests are very difficult because of the fact that they are usually 100 questions. So if you aren't great at history and extreme memorization, I wouldn't necessarily recommend taking a class from him.

Prof. Henry is a very knowledgable man. I had him for world history and i don't believe ill ever have a course as tough as that one was. Course is defined and he will tell you everything you need to know. There is ALOT to know, 4 tests, 100+ questions, including maps. Great guy, extremely tough course.

I had Henry for world history and it was by far the hardest class I've ever taken. Yes he gives you everything on the test through power point but the test are literally 100 plus questions. Not to mention on things that happened hundred of thousands of years ago.

I took his class at Montclair, he is such an awesome guy! He is ALWAYS really organized and is very clear with what he expects in class. His assignments never take more than 20 minutes to do at home and the tests are straight from the notes and he tells you exactly what you need to know. If I could take him again I would!

I had Prof. Henry at Montclair and he is a great guy. Very organized. He gives homework for every class, but the answers are easily found. And he gives extra credit for answering the questions in class. The tests are not hard if you study; he gives you exactly what you need to study. Does not believe in pop quizzes. Tries to be funny, but nice.

Prof. Henry is a great teacher and I promise (so will he) that his will be the most organized class you ever take. What he shows on the powerpoints will be on the test and he tells you exactly what you need to study. tests are not difficult if you study what he provides. def take his class if you are interested in history. Super passionate guy

I hated history in high school, but he changed my approach to history and the subject. Go to class, print out the notes, highlight what he tells you will be on the test and study study study. its all about memorizing and you honestly do fine.
