Review #1 / Course: PSYC 4111 / Instructor: HICKS J
a challenging class but great prep for grad school; keep up with reading, start on assignments early, and know the concepts well for the exams.

Ok, this class was not THAT bad. Go to class, take good notes, study, and you will do fine. It is not a blow-off class, but it's not impossible. It was very helpful in prep for grad school.

Horrible teacher. Most trickiest tests I have ever taken. I never missed a class & I studied my butt off & I still did bad on the tests. Thank God for a great lab instructor. Too much work for a 2000 level undergraduate course.

The class is not easy but if you read the book and attend lectures you'll be ok, but Dr. Hicks is sooo boring Red Bull and sugar cookies couldn't keep me awake in his classes.

Review #7 / Course: PSYC 2017 / Instructor: HICKS J
This class is one of the worst on campus. I would not wish this class upon my worst enemy. This class is HORRIBLE and shouldn't be a core class unless you are going to grad school!!!

Class is challenging, but not impossible and is essential. Stay on top of your work. Don't go to the lectures because you won't use them. Buy the book.

Review #12 / Course: PSYC 2017 / Instructor: HICKS J
This class is horrible. THe lab itself is not bad, but Dr. Hicks is really boring. If you do not have to take this class dont take it. The lab is easy but takes up a lot of time!

If you struggle in the class you have no business majoring in psychology. You aren't grad school material and can't do anything with a bachelor's in psych.

Tests were hard but fair. You have to know the book and the notes very well to get a good grade.
