Reviews of professor Keith Hengen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Makes me question my motivation for school, interest in neuroscience, and passion for science in general. Is constantly discouraging and arguing with students and always brings an arrogant attitude to class. Would never take this class again.

I have never posted anything to this site because I have never felt a need to talk about a professor this strongly. However, he is the absolute worst professor/teacher/educator that I have had in my entire life. Hes discriminatory and sets students up for failure. He has both tried to expel innocent people in the class for no reason (probably beca

Mans is always in a pissy mood and dislikes students in general. Your grade in the class depends solely on your performance on micro-quizzes every single class in person, and ACCURATE participation in discussion sections (inaccurate explanation= -50%). Condescending attitude during lecture, extremely paranoid about cheating.

Keith is a great professor. He is really passionate about lecture material which makes the course super engaging. PNS is one of the best classes I've taken at Washu, and it has made me more excited about Neuroscience.

Genuinely one of the worst profs I've ever had. He is extremely disorganized and condescending. Frequently calls the entire class "mega introverts, nerds, etc". Cold calls then insults/makes fun of students with social anxiety. Overall, a very unwelcoming and discouraging class that makes you want to quit school.

Your entire grade will be based off of your ability to comprehend textbooks and scientific papers with no help. He gives terrible and unorganized lectures and expects his students to be experts on material he didn't teach them. Get ready to be cold called during lecture, and participate in discussions. Avoid this class at all costs if you are able.

Has a personal vendetta against pre-med students and will say so in class. Aggressively on the lookout for AI violations. Class is hard enough on its own, but it feels like the prof is actively rooting against you.

Keith was an awesome lecturer. His humor makes the class much more enjoyable and the content makes you want to pursue a career in Neuroscience. All information is given to you through lecture and pre-lecture readings, and the Friday subsections really help you learn to read scientific papers.

Frustrating when you do the readings and the quizzes are on details from the beginning of the semester. Class is great if you have prior knowledge/can cram. Too much of class spent making fun of students/cursing/trying to be funny that it is hindering a person's learning at that point. I don't understand the positive ratings on here, honestly.
