Great
Best government teacher. Expect a 90+ in his class.
I always dread gov classes bc i could care less about politics and such but I loved this prof. His lectures are always fun and he's extremely quirky and passionate about what he teaches. He's easy and nice and doesn't grade hard at all.
Great guy. Work is not hard and tests are pretty simple if you fill out the reviews. Quizzes come straight from the book.
Hes awesome. his class is super easy. The quizzes are straight from the book and are usually 5 questions. the tests are just like the review. its a fun class. hes cool too! hes super nice! Don't be afraid to talk to him for help either
Professor Hicks is great! He always made class fun and interesting. He used lots videos and visuals when teaching which was very helpful. All of the quiz questions can be found in the book and he gives great reviews for the tests. He does want you to participate in class, but definitely not a tough class.
Professor Hicks was by far and away the best teacher I've ever had. In my entire life. He is not a harsh grader and he is very understanding about grades and assignments and if you are not sure about something he will go out of his way to help you out. I would definitely take his class again! Great teacher! Great class!
Mr Hicks is an awesome professor. The lectures are so cool and informative. There are 4 tests and many quizzes. He gives out reviews for each test. Make sure you go over the chapter vocab in the textbook. His tests involve a lot of vocab that you must know. He gives out a few easy extra credit assignments throughout the semester. He's so funny!
He gives so many free participation grades. His quizzes are questions straight from the textbook chapters with the answer key for the questions in the textbook. He is funny and engaging. I will definitely be taking him for my other government class. His tests are super easy has a review class period the day before the test.
Professor Hicks is literally the Best Professor ever! He is clear and concise in what he expects from students and also offers generous extra credit opportunities. He also engages the class in exciting lectures and gives a reasonable amount of assignments. I am a student in the Disabled Students program and I still managed to do well!
This guy is awesome. He's the reason I am genuinely interested in politics now. If you're reading this, thank you Pr. Hicks! also trick r treat was a great recommendation
He enjoys what he teaches and it shows. He puts a lot of effort into his lectures. Class has 10 quizzes: 5 questions each, all copy and paste from the textbook. Tests were easy. Many participation assessments. Easy class! Recommend!
Great teacher, took him for US Government & Texas Government. Quizzes are based off of the practice quizzes at the end of each chapter in the book & the tests are a mix of those quiz questions as well as the reviews. Gives 3 extra credit opportunities.
Seriously the easiest govt professor. Take him if you can!! GET THE BOOK. All of the quiz and test questions are based off book specifically the end of the chapters. Just read and study the textbook and you'll be fine. He also offers extra credit and is very understanding. Also hilarious. Also very interesting lectures.
Professor Hicks is by far the best professor at Blinn. 4 tests including a final, 10 quizzes, and then 10 assessments. Very cool prof and relatable. He's really young so gets our struggles.
Seriously the easiest government class you'll ever take if you do the bare minimum he asks for. I would recommend him to anyone as this class is the easiest A you'll receive. Don't skip class though, bc he does easy in class quizzes and assessments that count for over half of your grade. They're easy enough tho that you'd be dumb to skip...
Hicks was a good prof. he lectured the whole period on most days but they are interesting and easy to listen to. All of his quizzes are based out of the book and some of the questions are even used on his tests.
Makes every class interesting. Takes attendance with small partner projects. The online assignment/discussions/quizzes are easy to complete and comprehend. He makes excellent reviews for every exam and truly cares about his students success in his class. He gives many extra credit opportunities, and loves interacting with his students!
Great professor. Lectures are really interesting, funny, and engaging. I loved the structure of the class. The videos he shows us are really interesting and insightful. He was always prepared and turned grades in on time. Easy class, hardest part was the tests. The online discussions gave us a chance to share our thoughts and opinions.
Professor Hicks is fantastic, he is always approachable and available outside of class. He gives several extra credit opportunities, but if you do your best on all the assignments you shouldn't need it. Make sure you use the textbook, as the material comes straight from it and test/quiz questions are in the back of each chapter. Highly recommend.
Professor Hicks is one of the best professors I've ever had (& I don't even enjoy government)! Definitely show up to class! His lectures are NOT boring at all, & there are in-class assessments for an easy A. Also, he provides MANY opportunities for extra credit, TAKE THEM! I'm taking him again next semester if that tells you anything!
I would most definitely take him again if he taught another subject. When teaching he made sure to cover everything. The quizzes are in the back of the book he gives tons of extra credit. 10/10 take him!!!!!
He takes the time to connect with his students & cares about his students passing. In case youre a bad test taker, he assigns a lot of extra credit, online quizzes, & is very lenient on late grades. Dont skip because there is almost always assignments at the end of class. He does get a little off topic sometimes but makes lectures less boring.
He's literally great! I saw that he was a 5 star prof and I expected it to be too good to be true. It wasnt. I am so happy I took his class!
Take Professor Hicks!!! He is so hilarious and really enjoys what he teaches. I am not good at government but was able to get an A in this class. Also make sure to get the textbook that he tells you to get, because when he says it will be very helpful he isn't joking!!
Professor Hicks was AWESOME! He is such a friendly, approachable, and funny prof. Homework is not bad--the quizzes use the questions from the book. There are some easy discussions and small assignments, some papers (including extra credit papers). His exams are easy to ace when you use his study guide! TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!
Mr. Hicks was an amazing prof. I got to take 2 classes with him, and he always made the lectures interesting. For some of us Gov is a hard and boring class to get through, but he is an amazing prof who truly cares about his students!!! If you get the chance I definitely recommend taking a class with him.
If you need Government take Professor Hicks! His lectures are interesting and he explains everything so that you can understand. His test are a mix of book quizzes and his lectures, but study the review he gives and you'll pass. He also has a couple of papers but follow the guidelines and you'll get a 100! I would take him again.
Take Jonnathon!! Such a kind and caring professor who truly wants his students to make an A. 3 tests, 10/11 quizzes, and around 20 assignments. It sounds like a lot but he makes clear study guides for the tests. All the quizzes are open note and straight from the back of the chapter of the textbook, and each assignment maybe takes 10 minutes.
He is very passionate about his job and the subject he teaches. The best professor i've ever had! 10/10 recommend him & he also gives multiple extra credit opportunities!
I had Professor Hicks for Texas Government. Did an awesome job staying unbiased and making topics interesting! One of my favorite professors at Blinn so far.
Professor Hicks is one of the best professors Ive had. His lectures are so fun and as long as you pay attention youll do great! His weekly chapter quiz comes from questions at the back of the textbook, and are not honorlocked, and the test questions come from the quizzes. Easy A!!
Professor Hicks is by far the best government prof there is! He has very specific instructions and grades lightly. I took this class as an 8 week sem but honestly still was a manageable work load. His lectures are also so interesting. Love him!! Defiantly take him, you wont regret it!
I loved Professor Hicks. He is so genuine and truly cares about his students. He made government so interesting. There are a good amount of assignments, but they never took me more than 30 minutes. He is an easy grader and his study guides are similar to the test. Do your work and study the guides and it is an easy A. Would take him again for sure.
TAKE PROF. HICKS! I am not someone who typically will write a review but it is so hard to find a prof like him. He is extremely caring, understanding, and interesting. He always finds a way to interact with the class and make everything fun. I woke up at 7:45 just to have him and I actually stayed awake during the zoom. He the best prof I've had.
Take him!!! He really cares for his students!!!
I took Prof. Hicks for both Texas & US Govt. His classes are super easy honestly. All assignments are fun and easy grades, do them and you'll get full credit. The only thing is the test you really need to study for, he gives a lot of things for you to study. But they are easy. Its really an easy A. Get the book, all answers to quizzes r in the back
I took Professor Hicks for Government and he was an amazing professor! Always caring for his students and is a very funny guy. He is a great teacher and makes everything very easy and clear to understand. All quiz answers are provided in the book, assessments are completion grades, and test are very easy. Definitely recommend him!
LOVED his class! He is very enthusiastic while lecturing. Very funny and laid back. He reminds me of the counselor from "Freaks & Geeks" (good show). He encourages a lot of engagement and makes you feel comfortable even if you may not know the answer. Easy class and easy assignments. 10/10 recommend to anyone struggling with government.
Professor Hicks is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is engaging, conveys the information in an interesting and relatable way, and makes his tests fair. If you participate in class and do your work, you have a good chance of getting an A. I cannot say enough good things about Professor Hicks, and he truly cares about his students.
Professor Hicks is amazing. His lectures are hilarious and engaging. Answers to the homework quizzes and the exams come straight from the book's chapter reviews. He gives three major EC opportunities in the form of papers. The homework (assessments) are essentially graded on completion. TAKE HIM!
Professor Hicks is the only teacher that could make a government class fun! From the first day of class he provides a list of every single grade that will be due and the date its due. Quiz questions and most test questions are straight out of the book study guide. His lectures are hilarious and hes always high energy. TAKE HIM!!! Youll be glad!
TAKE MR. HICKS!! I actually enjoyed going to class everyday and he talked on other important topics that were not necessarily in the curriculum. He has such a fun and upbeat personality and you can tell he truly cares for each of his students. I never felt unprepared for a quiz and he offers extra credit. BY FAR BEST PROFESSOR!!
Prof. Hicks is stellar!! Absolutely loved his class and was sad when it ended. He really enjoys what he does and it shows. Super funny and caring. Very understanding and amazing learning techniques. Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Cannot sing this mans praises any louder!! If you have the chance or just want to take his class for fun DO IT.
Govt in its self can be pretty boring but Mr. Hicks was an amazing prof. His lectures were both interesting and thought provoking. We even had a lecture on pickles lol. I highly recommend this class.
He's here for your success and is the type of professor who has deep knowledge and passion for the subject like Texas Gov. Wish more professors would appreciate there profession more like Professor Hicks does.
Incredibly based. Loves his job and is very understanding. Very neutral in politics and isnt one sided. 10/10 would take again
I really enjoyed professor Hicks' Class! He did not just read from the powerpoint, he incorporated videos and discussions in his class lectures. Overall a pretty easy A.
Awesome professor! Looked forward to class. Gave easy in class assignments so attendance does matter. Made us discuss with people around us, so it became easier to have friends in that class. Class was pretty easy if you just do work and study for tests. He really cares about his students being successful!
Professor Hicks is a great professor, his lectures are engaging and informative. With the quizzes from the book, the test reviews, assessments, and the multiple extra credit opportunities it is clear that he wants his students to do well. Attendance is no longer mandatory, but important for assessments and the tests.
Prof Hicks's ratings speak for themselves! His lectures are great and he really wants all of his students to do well. He is in my top 5 college professors I've had so far for sure. If you need an easy A take his class you won't be disappointed!! BEST PROFESSOR AT BLINN!! TAKE HIM!!!
I have always hated social studies but I LOVED this class! He makes classes really entertaining and always engages the students in the discussions. The exams are just like the quizzes in the textbook and the textbook gives you the right answers, he also accepts late work and is not a very hard grader. 10/10 Take his class!!
Incredible professor and has the best lectures! He truly wants everyone to succeed and this class is so doable. Highly recommend this professor!!!!
TAKE PROF HICKS! Govt is not my fav subject in the world, but he makes it so engaging! He offers multiple extra credit options so it is impossible not to pass the class. 3 unit exams, and one final, and 3 papers. The exams are 70-75 percent made up of the end of chapter quizzes at the back of the book, and the rest are from the reviews. TAKE HIM!
TAKE HIM! Just an amazing professor and it's rare to find professors like Hicks. There are 3 unit exams, and 1 final, and 3 papers. The exams are 70-75 percent made up of the end of chapter quizzes at the back of the book, and the rest are from the reviews. He offers enough extra credit options so it's impossible not to finish the class with an A!
TAKE HIM!!! im in the 8 week, he is truly the best. super funny, easy going. tests are easy just study and pay attention to what he says in class. you cant go wrong with this professor.
Relatively easy class if you study. All exam questions are found in the textbook.
Best professor I've ever had! Absolutely love his personality, and he understands that students are busy and wants to help out.
Professor Hicks is awesome! If you skip class, be wary of what days you pick, as there are in-class assignments(all of which are outlined in the syllabus). Most of the answers to the test are IN THE STUDY GUIDE SECTION IN THE BOOK. The rest are from lectures, and he includes most of the questions about that in the study guide he provides for you.
Professor Hicks was awesome. His class was super easy and he made class interesting and fun. As long as you're careful about what days you miss attendance isn't mandatory. He offered tons of extra credit. As long as you pay attention his tests and quizzes aren't hard at all. As long as you stay on top of assignments in class and online you'll pass.
Best professor ive had at Blinn. He actually made Texas Government interesting, and hes a super easy grader. Study the quizzes at the end of the chapters for the tests and youll do amazing in this class!
Seriously my favorite instructor I've ever had. Government is not a topic I am interested in and he made this class really fun and interactive. Lots of extra credit opportunities and if you show up to class and put in effort you will do well. 100/10 would take a course by him again if I needed another government class. TAKE HIS CLASSES!!
Hicks is perfect for GOVT 2306! Enjoys teaching the subject and is very helpful. Quizzes are the book's study guides and discussion assignments are easy grades. 4 exams that can easily be aced by doing the reviews and studying the chapter's study guides. 3 writing assignments that let you be creative. Hick's class is honestly the best in every way.
just take him. you won't regret it just trust me.
He is a very elaborate talker, this can make his lectures engaging. This can also be a different learning style you may not like.
TAKE PROFESSOR HICKS! WE LOVED HIM -NATURAL SELECTION GROUP
Professor hicks is a great professor! His lectures are well thought out and very entertaining. There are a lot of easy in class assessments and quizzes that are easy to get a hundred on as well as extra credit. He's such a great guy and it was apparent on the first day of class that he wants you to succeed. Take Hicks, you won't regret it!
Hicks is a wonderful professor! I have always thought as government as boring, but he changed my mind. I caught myself actually looking forward to going to his class because he made it so interesting. The group assignments in class weren't your normal boring assignments, took
Hicks is a wonderful professor! I have always thought as government as boring, but he changed my mind. I caught myself actually looking forward to going to his class because he made it so interesting. The group assignments in class weren't your normal boring assignments. TAKE HIM!!
Best government professor ever! The textbook is important, especially the questions at the back of each chapter, so don't disregard the book! He is fun, easy, and approachable during class and outside of class. His lectures are easy PowerPoint, and he allows you to work with whomever you wish for a daily participation grade.
Prof Hicks was an amazing professor. Highly recommend!
He has an awesome style of teaching. He made learning a subject I though was going to be hard and boring, actually enjoyable, and interesting. Highly recommend taking his class!
Prof Hicks is a great professor. Really gets you learn about govt and apply critical thinking to political concept besides taking them at base value. Make sure to read the textbook and do the test reviews.
The best Government professor at Blinn! He has interesting lectures, and a good review for tests. I suggest showing up for class and try not miss because sometimes he gave extra credit chances during class. 100% would take again!
If you have the chance, take him. His lectures are very engaging and entertaining. Very nice and great teacher.
Such an amazing professor! He engages with everyone in class and really makes sure his lectures are fun and entertaining. If you have the chance to take him, then I highly recommend you do so!!
Don't skip class. You'll miss bonus point opportunities and possibly major in-class assignments. Tests are fairly easy just study the review guide it is very specific.
Professor Hicks is by far my favorite professor I've taken. I took him for GOVT 2305 and 2306, he makes understanding the material of the class easy, and he wants you to pass. Tons of extra credit. Tests and quizzes are not hard and he is very passionate in the subject, enjoyable lectures. 10/10 Would recommend and would take him again if I could
Best professor at Blinn! Professor Hicks truly wants his students to succeed and gives you every opportunity to! Even after not doing great on the first exam (fully my fault) I am still ending his class with a 98! He is funny and engaging in his lectures and truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed! highly highly recommend!!!
This class was absolutely amazing! I took it in 8 weeks and didn't want it to end. Best professor I've ever had by far. He's funny, very nice, and so easy to work with! You WILL learn in this class and it is so easy to succeed! I wish I could go back and take his class again!
Professor Hicks is great! Lectures are engaging and the assignments offered are quite easy. The exams can be quite difficult without proper studying, but luckily if you're not a great test taker, there are plenty of other ways to get credit in this course.
professor hicks was one of the best professors ive had. the reviews are just like the test and the final was old test questions so it was easy to study for. the class was fun and never a boring moment because his lectures allowed us to interact with each other. even if you don't do well on the exams, he offers lots of extra credit.
AMAZING PROFESSOR, TAKE HIM! Very understanding and always extremely helpful. So far my favorite class I have taken at Blinn, he is so funny and always makes class interesting with scenarios and examples. Tests are the exact review in a different order, they are labeled like "unit 5 quiz" for example, and it's the exact test.
Professor Hicks is a good professor. He makes lectures enjoyable and includes class participation just about every day. You must attend class every day because there are a lot of assignments only accessible in class. This class was very easy and tests were based off of review questions and quizzes.
Professor Hicks is great! His lectures are super interesting and he actually lets you speak your mind on topics. He has some assessments that you do in class but they are super simple. He also is very flexible with due dates! Would highly recommend!
Bro... take prof Hicks right now. Super easy class where all the tests are just the quizzes (Which he gives you the answers to) Super funny, cares about his students and has interesting lectures that dont make you want to fall asleep. Not trying to be mean but if you get anything other than an A in his class you simply did not even put 10% effort.
Can say enough, professor Hicks is an AMAZING teacher, he is absolutely a teacher that cares about his profession. Professor Hicks gives plenty of extra credit opportunities, and even late extra credit choices sometimes. If you have any problem I have 100% certainty professor Hicks will help you or be able to make reasonable accommodation 10/10
