Personal profile
About
Mr. Hennicken feels people all learn in different ways and at different speeds. He believes it is essential to try
to teach to the students’ strengths. If they learn best from observing, he provides a lot of worked through
examples in class. However, if they learn best through application, then he may try to shorten the lecture and
make sure the class gets an opportunity to work through problems, especially while he is available to assist.
Also, he tries to provide as much aid, and as many resources, as possible all semester long. That being said,
there is definitely student responsibility as well. The student must be willing to put in effort. Regardless of
student cooperation and effort, Mr. Hennicken never stops encouraging students and offering the best
education he can deliver. He always encourages questions. Mr. Hennicken believes simply formulating a
question, and knowing what it is you need to ask, indicates a level of comprehension. Sometimes a student
cannot learn something until they question the material and work it out. He is a firm believer that people
learn better when they are able to make connections between the new material and skills, or knowledge,
previously mastered.
