Reviews of professor Bethany Henning

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I've taken Dr. Henning 3 times now since Phil 100. Genuinely best professor I had and best classes I've taken. Only classes I have felt like actually mattered and philosophy isn't even my major.

Dr. Henning is the best lecturer I've ever had. The readings were very tough and required more work than my other intro-level classes, but at the same time, I feel like I got more out of this class than other intro-level classes. She helps relate the material to present-day issues which helped me understand the material.

I really loved having Dr. Henning this semester. She is so freaking funny and relatable, which is refreshing in a phil prof. Participation is super important, but she never makes you feel like your input is dumb/unimportant. Honors class is graded by participation and a big final paper, and I definitely recommend meeting with her about your paper!

I absolutely love Dr. Henning, she is the best professor I have ever encountered. Going into Phil, you don't expect to enjoy it but she makes it engaging and will make you think about things that have never crossed your mind. I would highly recommend you read because when I did I understand so much more but I rarely did and I passed so up to you.

Dr. Henning makes philosophy makes sense to those who have never taken philosophy before. She also is open to anyones different interpretations of the text or stances on an argument. She tries to be relatable and understand the students which makes it easy to feel comfortable and willing to participate and ask questions.

Very nice professor and I enjoyed her sarcastic attitude that she always had. I had her for an expedition trip course so I got to know her pretty well. I participated a lot so I feel that by doing that, my grade benefitted. The only issue I had was that she made her political views abundantly clear which did get annoying. Would take again though.

The class really challenges you to think outside the norm. The subject matter is intense and sometimes I felt like I needed to just process for a while after class, so get ready for that, but its refreshing in a way. And like one commenter said she treats you like an adult. If you give respect she will give it back.

I enjoyed her class and the topics discussed. However, it is reading HEAVY. I like her as a person, until I came to her office hours and insulted how I wrote. Gave out a very toxic and rude vibe instead of trying to help me...

With Dr. Henning, you either understand Philosophy, or you don't. I was one of the students who unfortunately did not understand as much as my peers, so I struggled. Yes, Dr. Henning is funny and sarcastic and makes real-life examples, but with that, you will feel as if she is mocking you if you do not have the same understanding as everyone else.
