He is a great professor. He made the class way more fun than any Econ class should be. I just added him to this website to make sure if anyone looked him up they signed up for his class. He is by far the best professor I have encountered at UNT. He has very good reviews right before the exams and the exams are not hard if you go to class.

This professor loves his job and you can tell by his lectures, they are always very informative, rarely boring. He also forces classroom participation to make sure everyone is paying attention at times, very funny stories and impersonations. He will give you all the tools you need to succeed, but you will still need to study hard if you want an A.

There is absolutely 0 bad things to say about Dr. Dickson. You will have 10 assignments to do pre class due every sunday before the new class week, and a weekly 10 question quiz. Theres 3 exams, including the final, and 2 essays you have to write. Overall, it isn't hard, and you do get some leeway if you miss a quiz or assignment. 100% TAKE HIM

If you get the opportunity to take Mr. Dickson, do it! There are weekly quizzes but they are collaborative so there is no reason you should fail any of them. Whenever it comes to his exams actually annotate your practice exam and understand because they are not exact and it is easy to not do as great as you intended.

Great professor. He is very nice and easy to talk to. His lecture also are lectures are very engaging. Your grade is made up of 2 exams and an optional final, weekly projects and online assignments, and in-person quizzes. He drops the 2 lowest project, assignment, and quiz. Exam material is based off anything he writes on the board.
