Reviews of professor Tysen Ficklin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He doesn't always answer emails which can be frustrating for an online class. He is clear about setting up the online course and honestly the work isn't too hard. Can be time consuming and tedious, but an easy A if you just submit on time. You can take chapter tests twice but only one try on midterm and final. Not a stressful class at all.

He's understanding. He gave me an extension because excel on my laptop was acting up. The content can get difficult but overall easy enough to get a good grade. However, there can be a lot to go through each chapter. Give yourself A LOT of TIME so you can get it done ON TIME and SCORE WELL. Even if the deadline may seem far, DO IT ASAP!

BUSN111 being online was fairly simple. There is a lot of reading to do, but I found that Professor Ficklin and the TA was accessible during office hours and outside of class. Make sure to read the content and start the homework early and you'll do fine.

Really like Tysen, he is good at what he does and his lectures are clear and concise. There is literally no way to not get a solid grade other than not doing the assignments. All assignments are posted online with a video explaining how to do it. I literally never paid attention in class and it was not hard to get the hang of the material.

My class was async, it can be a lot but mainly if you put things off. Just go at a decent pace and it should be fine. My strategy was to watch the tutorial videos at 2x speed then grind through the problems. Definitely a valuable course to go through, make sure you understand it, since the course builds on itself over time and is valuable to learn.
