Reviews of professor Darren Hick

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Easy to follow but he is a hard grader on papers and the pop quizzes are hard. Tests require studying but are manageable considering there are only two.

Dr. Hick was one of my favorite professors. Lots of reading outside of class that can be hard to follow, but very engaging lectures to help you understand the material. Besides the readings, homework consists of a small activity every weekend that takes no more than 15 minutes. Weekly quizzes and 2 papers, which he can be a tough grader on.

Dr. Hick is amazing! He gives a lot of reading and you watch a lot of lectures but he is hilarious and very accessible outside of class. He does a good job explaining difficult theories and even though his online class is a lot of independent work it's still one of the best classes I've taken. Overall he's probably my favorite professor!

I wish I didn't take this class for my UQ requirement. He gives 4-question pop quizzes, and they are hard. His exams are even harder. On top of that, there are two papers due throughout the semester. The final paper and exam on the last week of class are 50% of your grade. Take a different professor for philosophy if you are taking it for a GER.

Dr. Hick is absolutely hilarious, seriously never had a teacher who is so funny. Course work is manageable, but the pop quizzes are hard. Luckily the only make up a small portion of your grade

Readings are super interesting and Dr. Hick is super great at explaining them and making them easy to understand. His assignments are not too hard as long as you follow the guidelines and talk to him about them. He is super funny and makes me excited to go to class.

Dr. Hick is an amazing professor, really smart and willing to explain things to you in several ways. TOUGH GRADER. Not much homework other than reading and a little activity each week. Two papers that really make you think I would definitely recommend sending your paper to him for him to revise before turning it in because he WILL grade accordingly

Thought this class was going to be fun and easy to understand, boy was I wrong. Dude is funny but mean for no reason. I get papers and yea they should be challenging but he loves to be mean for some reason. Loves his lectures and gives 4 question pop quizzes. Also talks way to fast, daydream and you'll have no idea what he is talking about.

Professor Hick is a difficult grader, but he tells you his grading criteria for each assessment explicitly. He is an easy professor to talk to outside of class and will happily explain a concept in 900 different ways in order for you to understand it. The textbook is mandatory, but he does provide a color-coded reading schedule in the syllabus.
