Reviews of professor Shawn Henderson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Henderson is great! He is a awesome teacher, and is really passionate about rocks. He gives great lectures, and is willing to help when you dont understand. There are tests on every type of mineral and rock, as well as weekly quizzes(straight from the textbook)but dont let that scare you away! His humor and enthusiasm brought class to life!

Fantastic class! Shawn is super helpful and understanding of where students are at and takes a lot of time to help them work through any concept, no matter how simple or complex it might be. One of the best science teachers I have had.

I would not recommend taking Shawn's classes. He is a nice person but he is not good at lecturing. To explain criteria he went over each subject a few times, however he explains the subject matter the same way each time so if you were lost the first time, you won't get it. We had to beg him for a test study guide and he complained about doing it.

Very enjoyable teacher. Almost always provides open labs before class if you need extra help or practice which is extremely helpful. 

However, make sure to pay attention to the content because the tests can be challenging.

Shawn is a really awesome professor. Oceanography doesn't only teach you about the ocean, but also about tides, climate change, weather and stuff like that. It's pretty fun, but the labs are pretty hard. Late work is NOT Accepted, so make sure you turn all your homework in on time. Shawn is really chill, and jokes around a lot, but zoom is 2 hours

I just took his summer class (that was only 5wks long, including 'finals week'). Even though we had a lot of material to cover, in a very small amount of time, it never felt like he was rushing through the lecture, or rushing us. He gave us extra time for labs if he knew we needed it. He really wants you to learn. He is awesome! WOULD TAKE AGAIN!!!

This is a work-heavy course, but with really interesting material and a caring prof. What is expected of you can seem really daunting until you get in the flow of due dates. There is a group project at the end and 2 field trip opportunities. Overall, I enjoyed the course and the prof(I took a hybrid online class with an on campus lab).

Took Shawn's online Oceanography course last Fall. The course is interesting but the labs are tough. He is super helpful if you ask for help!

Shawn's a good guy & not a harsh grader. His oceanography class wasn't super easy but it was pretty straight forward. Show up, do the labs, take notes on his lectures & do the quizzes online. Everything on the in-class tests is covered in lecture & lab so as long as you take good notes, you'll be fine. He's not stellar but not horrible either.
