Reviews of professor Maureen Hickey

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I hated my time with Professor Hickey. The class was made only of discussion posts that had to be 500-800 words each within a group A and B schedule in which each group would learn from either reading or watching films. The rubrics were too detailed to the point where you lost the point of the assignment and she grades based off pettiness.

I love Professor Hickey!! Literally the best professor I've had at Portland State. The format of the class is based on discussion posts, and projects. All the topics covered were especially unique and interesting. Super engaging and fun reading/watching the materials. Cares a lot about her students! Highly recommend!!

Had this professor for my first quarter and she was an excellent person with field experience in policy making and International Relations. Dorky, intelligent, and extremely relatable, a wonderful professor! :)

I love Dr. Hickey, I've taken several classes with her in person, hybrid, and online. She's VERY thorough and organized so you will always know what's expected of you. She has a lot of personal experience in SE Asia which is helpful. I highly recommend her and would absolutely take a class with her again.
