Reviews of professor Bethany Henning

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This was a difficult course. You either understand the material or you definitely don't. Office hours for extra explanation isn't exactly a choice here. I unfortunately did not understand so I was struggling. I have also had many instances where a valid excuse for not being in class was not excepted. This class is just slightly frustrating.

I can honestly say Im going to miss her class. It isnt easy to read the texts, but she does a good job of making you feel welcome and at the end of discussion I usually felt like I had learned something new. Shes really easy to talk to in her office an after class.

Gave really reasonable readings every night and that was the only homework. There are no quizzes or tests but instead 4 papers. last paper was the final. she expects participation in talking, but it makes the class much more interesting. she will challenge you in a way that makes you want to talk. willing to help understand, would take her again

Philosophy isnt my thing, but I really looked forward to class. She did a good job of making the reading (which was usually really confusing) make sense in life through the class discussion. I wasnt happy with my first grade, but after we sat down and talked I figured out how to make my papers better.

345 characters can't do Dr. Henning justice. She is the best professor I have ever had. She challenged the class to think about concepts we knew to be concrete, such as justice, in ways I never thought possible. Her class made me evaluate my friendships, how meaningful being present is, etc. She is a wonderful person and her lectures are inspiring.

Most amazing professor I've had during my time at X. Makes awful, hard texts seem understandable. Her lecture/discussion style is amazing. I hated philo before her but she made me love it. Very kind and funny. GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS. They are extremely beneficial, especially right before a paper. She will call you out if you don't participate tho.

FAVORITE PROFESSOR OF FIRST SEMESTER IN COLLEGE. Honestly one of those Professors that doesn't just educate, she seriously add to your perspective. Her lectures are engaging, and she ask some of the most interesting questions. Also instead of treating us like helpless kids, she treats us like adults we are. Her class fills up quick, so be quick.

liked her as a person but not as a professor at all. she assigned a lot of reading and when writing papers she would get frustrated if you didn't remember things from the book from reading it 2-3 months ago and made you feel stupid for not knowing.

Dr. Henning made me think about things differently than I had before. This was harder than expected for an intro class, but I kinda think it was worth it. The reading is HARD but it gets explained during class.
