Reviews of professor Ethan Higgins

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Has a TA do all the grading and gives horrible feedback. Doesn't help students improve.

Super nice guy. Class is graded on just tests and papers. Tests arent hard but he tends to grade the papers somewhat tough. Every class is a boring lecture but if you pay attention and take notes the tests are straight forward. Attendance doesnt matter and if you read the text book you can get away with missing class.

Hard grader on papers.  Every class is a lecture so if paying attention is difficult find another professor. Sometimes he doesnt teach everything so you need to buy the text book to do good on tests.

He offers a pop quiz, this will not count against you at all and will add a max of 5 points to your up coming exam grade. He does not take attendance but doesn't post notes online or let you know when the quiz will be. And there are no questions on the test about the book, so you only need to read for personal benefit. Extremely helpful professor

I took this class not knowing what to expect, but found that if you show up to class and pay attention it is very easy. Read the textbook, pay attention, and study a the test review he gives and you should easily get an A on the exam. For the papers he knows what he wants and if you do that, then it is also easy to receive an A.

Hands down my favorite professor at UNCW. Dr. Higgins is passionate about what he teaches and does a great job translating that knowledge to his students. His classes aren't difficult as long as you pay attention and his is extremely helpful if you need help understanding something. I

I took CRM 307 online. There was a discussion post every week, that required reading an outside article, two paragraphs per question (3 questions max), & a response to two people. We didnt have zooms or lectures of any kind, just information from the textbook. Exams were 50 multiple choice questions, with a 50 minute time limit. Overall easy class

This professor doesnt care if you miss class, he just wont post the notes online, and offers extra credit pop quizzes that you can only take advantage of if you are in class. As long as someone sends you the notes it doesnt really matter if you go to class. For the most part this class is pretty interesting.

Attendance is not mandatory but he does give out "minute papers" sometimes without announcing them. Class is fun, the notes are online but are fill in the blank, so you have to go to class to get the missing info. He really loves this topic and it shows.

Professor Higgins was a good professor with a really great class that was very interesting. This class is the perfect mix of lecture, independent, and group work. The textbook is good to have but I didn't use it THAT much. He's a harsh grader on the essays but it's okay if you do bad because there are plenty of other assignments.
