Reviews of professor Kristian Henderson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She is ironic. Told the class that assignments have to be dense on the first day of class but when we handed those assignments in we were penalized with a nonpassing grade. Not sure what she wants anymore.

Even though there are no exams and lots of groupwork in this class, do not be fooled. This class is far from an easy A since the TAs are strict in grading the policy memos and group assignments. I would prefer to have exams in this class since health policy is all memorization, which I am good at.

This course is the intense version of PUBH 6305. She treats us like Senators on Capitol Hill since she expects us to know everything about management and policy on the first day. Also I heard the midterm is difficult since she expects a coherent policy analysis in under 2 hours. I dont think professionals could even do that. Take 6305 or online.

Assignments are not graded leniently in this class. Only the congressional hearing and debates are graded leniently. After that she told the TAs to step it up including the presentation. Public speaking is hard for most people so the default score should be a 90. I know some people who did not receive a passing grade on the presentation.

She is not consistent and treats this like a gym class. Makes everyone move around during lecture to talk about their feelings while she sits there and watch. Readings are boring and do not relate to lectures. Also talks about the time she was on TV and slogans like Be healthy, be happy, be free and Peace and power.

Despite the rumors about Henderson, she is not that bad. She is fair in grading and is willing to address any concerns people may have. The only downside is that she could be very energetic sometimes which is why people perceive her negatively.

Subpar professor teaching the course with subpar TAs grading the assignments. Difficult to contact them outside of class when you have questions, which results in low grades on assignments.

Even though she is a little better than Vichare, she is still a subpar professor compared to others. Changed the grading policy at the last minute by replacing peer evaluation (free 10%) with a difficult timed in-class essay exam. It feels like she wants to get us.

This class is disorganized. Lectures are based on random trivia and not related to public health at all. Puts people on the spotlight if you do not do what she tells you.

Even though she sings and dances in front of the class, do not be fooled and not be willing to work. Assignments are lengthy and difficult. It requires one to think outside the box which is difficult for quantitative-based students. Take this course another semester.
