Reviews of professor Joseph Henry

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Okay prof but you can tell he's full of himself. Puts a lot of weight on the class so if you're not super passionate about public affairs it might give you the ick. Annoying grading because he focuses so much on writing instead of content. Made us keep cameras on in lecture for attendance, very annoying. It's literally the bottom of all PA classes.

Good professor. Cares and puts a lot of effort into teaching.

The content of the class was very interesting but the professor was extremely boring. If you missed your coffee one morning don't bother coming because you will fall asleep. He's pretty young and tries to make the class fun but his extreme monotone demeanor makes it hard to focus. My advice? Come prepared, read the books and lectures beforehand

Grades harder for 2000 level courses than any of my higher level classes. If you care about your GPA beware.

Joe was a great professor. He really cared about his students and put lots of effort into his class. He make sure to mix it up so it was not 90 min of lecture. Readings were not bad and the workload was reasonable. BIG fan of Joe and his dry wit.

Joe was not a terrible professor. The class was not too hard but there are three papers, which he can be nitpicky about. Also, he has everything due by the time class starts instead of 11:59pm, which is kind of annoying. However, everything else in the class is easy. Quizzes were online and had unlimited attempts. I got over 100% on the exams.

First zoom class I took that required cameras on and attendance, but I truly enjoyed lecture. I dont think Ive ever gotten more out of a course (and Im a senior). Definitely recommend taking a class with Joe, he has such clear expectations and wants you to succeed (and gives you everything you need to do so)

Public Affairs 2110 was one of the most flexible and enjoyable classes I had this semester. Professor Henry was very flexible with all of the extenuating circumstances with COVID/the basic difficulties of online learning. There are 3 tests, extremely fair with very helpful study guides. There are also weekly current events reflections. Great class!
