Reviews of professor Whitney Hicks

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
She was a great professor!! I highly recommended taking her class for juvenile justice. I was scared about taking her because some of the reviews I saw about her weren't so good. But I took her; her class was literally the easiest class this semester. She isn't a tough grader.

She's the most caring (brought snacks & candy) & understandable professor I've ever had. She's funny too! She's very passionate and knowledgeable. Her lectures are given through PP, but she'll include media making them enjoyable. She's not a harsh grader. Assignments given throughput semester are paced (ex. quizzes biweekly so 6 in total).

Hicks is one of the kindest professors in the department- she is so understanding and does her best to accommodate her students' needs. Listen to her lectures and read a bit of the textbook and you'll do great on the tests. Start the research paper early! She also likes to give lots of extra credit, and her review sessions before exams are amazing.

I really liked her and the class! She had class mixed with zooms. Class was more mandatory, zooms were optional but you would miss lecture. I took notes at home and focused on what she said in class because the quiz was a mix of both. She reviews very well for mid term and final. Shes really sweet and sometimes gives Monday off!! Take her!

She's a nice professor. However, I really hated how she organized the course (zooms and in-person). I ended up missing class multiple times because of the inconsistency. The course itself is not hard. The papers are easy and the quizzes are spread out. I hate the fact that we have to PAY for our final to be proctored. It should just be in-person.

Professor Hicks is super funny and a great teacher. She is super smart and I really enjoyed her class. There is one big paper that takes up the whole semester but she gives good feedback.

Hick's online juvenile justice course was fairly easy. Assignments are done in a 2 week period; includes discussion, quiz and reflection paper. Papers were the most annoying part of this class; weekly 2-4 page essays on the material from the chapters. Follow directions and you will pass. Midterm was difficult and not based on the study guide given.
