Henry's Awesome!!!! He's super "flexy" and loves polka dots. He's very approachable and willing to work with the students. Say something during closing or he'll get sad. It's important to build community. Bum Ditty!!!!!

Obviously this quarter isn't over yet, but I am DEFINITELY glad that I took Henry's section. He does not talk the whole time and actually lets you COMPLETE WORK IN CLASS! Who knew? Anywho, If you would like to keep your sanity for a year in this major, definitely take the class with Henry. He allows the class atmosphere to be kick-back and enjoyable rather than needless busy-work.

Henry Danielson rocks! His approach to this class is effective and you will do fine! The class is a lab class and is a YEAR long. Henry promotes technology, and building a sense of communtiy he is funny and says stuff like Gnar Gnar and Kine Kine! You will enjoy this class, the technology will travel with you for the rest of your life... so soak up all the technology from henry that you can!! CHILD DEVELOPMENT IS SAAAAAAAAWEET

Henry is such an easy going guy. You have to get all your work done but he is totally flexible towards your schedule on when you get it in. His class is by far the most fun class I've had at Cal Poly and would definitely recommend Henry as a teacher! He's the BEST!

Henry has been one of my favorite teachers at Cal Poly because he's so down to earth (and funny!) It may seem like a lot of work but if you pace yourself you can get nearly all of it done in lab. Henry makes class go by pretty fast and is definitely the best teacher to get for this lab series : )

Henry did an excellent job teaching technology to people who haven't had a lot of experience with mac computers and technology, he really wants you to learn and improve upon skills in the class more than anything. He is very patient in explaining things to you that you hare having a hard time with or have a question on. Great teacher, my favorite by far!

Pretty fun guy. The class is chill, but i found some of the activities irrelevant. Why do i need to do handwork??? it's just busy work. And i really dont care about playing the dulcimer. IM NOT GOING TO BE A PRESCHOOL TEACHER. learning stuff on a mac was cool though, i liked making videos.

Henry is a stellar technology instructor! He is funny and works tirelessly with the students , and you learn amazing ways to use technology that you will use after you graduate. If you stay in lab you can get all your work done he obviously loves his job. The last part of the quarter you produce a DVD based on research and adolescents and we watch them in class Don't procrastinate ! Grading is fair just show up and do the work he brings pizza on occasion which is cool. He calls his students squibbles so funny !

Henry is the best. He makes the class really fun and interesting. He is a firm believer in learn by doing, so he encourages you to find your own answers (its a tech course, look it online), but he is very willing to help if you need it. The class is a lot of work, but it would be way harder to get everything done if Henry wasn't there to make it fun. I <3 Henry

Henry brings an energy to class that is sincere and contagious, you cant help but feel engaged in the class and excited to master whatever technological obstacle you want to get through. The content of the class is very eye opening and inspiring, a lot of busy work but all of it helps become more techno savvy and builds confidence to figure out any type of software. I came into the class being a techno pessimist meaning i thought technology shouldn't be mixed with education and it robs you from certain experiences. After taking in all of Henry's videos, presentations, images, anecdotes, and overall perspective on technology, i know realize technology, used appropriately, can be used to enhance learning experiences and create lessons or assignments that were inconceivable a decade ago. If you're the guy in the class as i am, you might have a tough time getting stuff done, as i do, but most the work you can get done at home or come into the lab whenever, which you have access to all quarter.

Henry is such a great professor! I know many of us were concerned about taking this course because technology can be quite frustrating and challenging sometimes but he really goes out of his way to make things easier and is always willing to help! Henry also keeps the class very exciting and fun with his energetic personality! I've learned so much this quarter and I really enjoy going to this class!

What the guy/gal below said. Amen. I too took this class and have long since graduated from Poly, but I was cruising Poly Ratings for a kick and thought that I should pipe in and let you know how much of a joke this prof is.
