I adore this professor. I love when you can tell that an educator is passionate about the subject they're teaching. I'm so excited to take more of her classes!!

I really like Maureen---she's very progressive in terms of environmental reform (this was a big chunk of our curriculum). Her lectures are long, but interesting, and she spices them up with short videos and documentaries. She's also very generous about giving plenty of time to finish assignments. you usually get about a week for a small assignment.

This lady doing too much in a Pandemica like we are straight up in a Polar Bear right now and all this feedback and such I just can't with her right now!! Asian Studies should be an easy A right? Wrong

Her syllabus and overall course structure are pretty flexible, but this was an 8-week summer course, so who knows. She assigned interesting content and gave you flexibility on what you read and watch each week. Overall decent communication. Gives good feedback generally. She hides an extra credit opportunity in the FAQ tab, so look for that.

There were weekly discussion posts, but the material alternated every other week between reading and films. All of the assignments and expectations of the class were communicated very clearly. There were announcements every week and reminders of due dates. Also, she drops the lowest two grades for discussion posts. Would take this class again.

Maureen laid out some great materials with lots of options to choose what students were most interested in, gave ample feedback, and is extremely thorough in course instructions and layout, ensuring no one misses anything. Not to mention she really cares and is very supportive! If you're interested in the topics it's a great class.

This professor is OKAY at most. The way they run the class is fine, but the group A/B discussion posts is irritating and assignment rubrics and instructions too detailed. In all honesty, the class is ran solely on discussion posts that were simply doing too much. I wouldn't NOT recommend this prof, but I'll not be taking them again in the future.

I have taken Dr. Hickey's courses several times and have valued every one of them. The formats in most of her classes are very similar so if you take her again, there won't be too much to adapt to! Content is interesting and the same amount of work as the average college course. She also gives grace periods for most of her classes, would recommend!

Professor didn't really give feedback until 2 to 3 weeks after the assignment was due. There is a weekly reflection every single Wed, and then on every Fri you always will need to repost to other classmates crosspost; the mentor session is a joke... There is no quizzes or test but there is a lot of work required for a 200 level course.
