Reviews of professor Marisa Stickel Higgins

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Such an awesome English professor! For 101, there are 2 papers, an annotated bibliography, and a project. she gives assignments well in advance, so nothing is ever rushed. She is very reasonable and caring. Definitely take if given the chance!

English 295 with Prof. Higgins was great. She is a very laissez faire type of teacher and has clear guidelines for you to do throughout the semester. Definitely recommend taking her if you can.

Really great teacher who cares about students. Offers a lot of out of class and in class help!

very difficult with attendance policy which is understandable but even with valid excuses and proof of absence she will mark you down on your grade which sucks. if you miss more than 3 classes you get kicked out of the class and have to retake it

Mrs. Higgins is an excellent professor. You will not find a lot out there better than her. She promotes class discussion and genuinely cares about her students. Would definitely recommend her.

The best English professor I have ever had. She gave us constructive feedback and a chance to correct our mistakes. She grew us as writers. Was available outside of class and her lectures were informational and interesting. I recommend her to anyone going to UTK and I wish to take her again if given the chance.

I love Professor Stickel! She is a great teacher and cares about each and every student. She will make time to meet with you one on one, and responds ASAP to emails. She is awesome and I would definitely take one of her courses again.

Definitely take her!! She is extremely understanding and gives very clear feedback. The writing conferences really helped me get some 1 on 1 time with her to discuss my papers. She answers emails very fast and is willing to help.
