Reviews of professor Chris Hickey

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Excellent lecturer. Engages with students while learning hard material. Makes sure everyone is good before switching slides. Definitely take him for lecture. All of his tests are extremely doable and truly tests your knowledge on the info. They are all formatted the same which is made very clear the first day of class. He wants you to succeed!

Dr. Hickey is very intelligent. He will call you out in class and make sure you are paying attention. His quizzes normally aren't too hard if you read and study. His tests are extremely hard so study up. Overall, he is a great professor just be ready to learn.

We started calling him "Picky Hickey" because he nit-picks everything you do. If you're 1 minuet late for class he'll lock you out, if the margins are wrong on your paper you'll get a 0, and he won't work with you to give you points back. If you don't HAVE to take him, then save yourself the stress and don't.

Dr. Hickey is a great teacher over all. Fun, loud and really detailed lectures. Test are pretty difficult but all information is taken straight from the powerpoints and does reviews. Final exam is mostly past exam questions. As long as you put effort and study, youll get an A. very attractive guy as well

So look the guy is funny , He's got a great personality but at the end of the day its a pre-req class that was harder than anatomy and physiology for one simple reason. The dude taught about 10% of what was on the tests and rolls through the slides in such a fashion that its hard to tell if he's really smart, or doesnt know the material himself.

If you want to pass do not take cell lab with him! The absolute worst teacher I have ever had in lab. We never knew if we were doing things right, his midterm is a literal joke and no one gets above a 40. He blames the students and pretends to save your grade afterwards when its his flawed exam and teaching. Ive seen A+ students fail his class.

This professor grades too harsh on his lab exams. They are possibly the worst thing ever. He knows his students does not do well but never seems to fix the exams and give feedback on what could be done. He expects us to be on graduate level. He went over basic microscope technique with the most detail but not for the instruments we mainly use.
