Professor is great. I love her power points and lectures. She emphasizes on what is important to know.

Her lectures are useless. You will not learn anything showing up to class. Her exams are so hard and she doesn't help you prepare for them. This class will ruin your GPA. Unless UTA steps in and fixes this class, then you are in for a treat. In lab, you spend most of your time sitting around waiting for time to end. it is pointless. enjoy

Hixon is funny but a terrible course organizer. She no longer gives guides; her blueprints are inaccurate. She did not transition well to the online environment post pandemic.

You will most likely get a B in this class for no good reason. The highs on exams tend to be low As which means it is nearly impossible to make an A. The content itself is straight forward, the tests do not reflect when is learned in class or the textbook. Wastes class time not focusing on important content.

Tended to be a little unreasonable in expectations, mostly because she does not have clear expectations. Tests are not very similar to lecture or text content. Does not provide thorough blueprints as given in other classes. Wastes class time chatting about our clinical rotations while we need to be focusing on content for testing. Very annoyed.

Her power points, and her online classes are USELESS- Waste of time and won't help you pass the exam Just follow the Exam Blueprints and read the chapters that will be covered in the exam( Read, learn and understand the Assessment procedures and Figures of the book) Seems like a lot but just highlight the main idea, Doing this will help you pass

Her PP are a waste of time they are useless. Her lectures are also a waste of time- not exam related. She does not prepare you for the exams. So don't waste your time. Review/read the chapters that'll be covered in the exam. I learned a bit too late didn't pass the first exam but the rest I did good just reading the book. Her class and PP are USELE

I can't even begin with how poorly this class is organized. There is so much content we are tested over and she uses 30 minutes out of our 3 hour lecture to cover pertinent content. It is almost impossible to make an A in this class. I am very frustrated and the method of teaching needs to be revised significantly. She is kind but not helpful.

Easily one of the worst academic experiences I have had at UTA. The material itself wasn't hard, there was just 0 direction given for preparation for exams. Lectures were extremely superficial and did not really help. My grade went up when I just spent time reading the book during lecture instead of listening.

Lecture was absolutely unhelpful. Important content was not focused on and not discussed in depth. The ppts were vague. Exams questions were not from the ppt and it was too late when I realized the book is the BEST bet. I could've definitely done better. The content was not hard to study at all but it would've been nice if the teacher taught.

I barely made an A in this course. Reading the book is your best bet at getting a good grade. Lectures will not do anything for you. She is kind, but ultimately kind of vague and not helpful for exams. Read the book, read the book, read the book!

While I'm sure Mrs. Hixon is a nice person, she is not a good assessments teacher. She is very unhelpful when answering questions, mispronounces terms constantly, as well as saying "um, so, uh" literally every 3 seconds in her lectures. Her lectures, mind you, are barely related to her exam content. I'm not sure why she posts them. Her OOH are bad.

This class is tough when it doesnt need to be. Her objectives and testing guidance do not line up with her exams. Study all the types of assessment tests, even though her testing guide says they are not important. She wastes a lot of time in lecture just talking.

I would not wish her teaching on my worst enemy. She was an unclear grader that did not communicate what she wanted. Long lectures with no meaning. Her tests were the worst with random information and weird questions. Taught the class as if the students were already nurses when we were not and was upset when we did not understand / follow.

Worst teacher ever. Someone must have told her to be a teacher as a joke and she took it seriously. Tells us to read, I read and the power points are copy and pasted from the book. content in lecture is irrelevant to the tests. insane amount of information, don't know where to start. brags about how the average in the class is 70 and below.

One of the worst J1 classes. For our second exam Professor Hixon gave all of the student who attended class a review guide for the test but those ones who attended virtual did not get anything. Its like even though we are in a pandemic the Professor punishes those who do not attend class in person even though we have a option.

The worst. So condescending and brags about how hard her class is. I went to lecture once and never went back. Don't let her scare you into failing; use the textbook to study and you'l be fine. She refused to answer questions via email. You have to be a mind reader to get the assignments done on the first try. Says "uhm" at least 3x per sentence.

She speaks down on you and makes you feel like a failure. When I had a post exam review with her, instead of discussing which answers I got wrong and explaining, she skimmed through everything quickly without an explanation and said "you got this one wrong.. we covered this in class" and she even kept smiling as she was telling me what I got wrong

She spends half the time in lecture talking about herself and the other half of the lecture saying um. She prides herself on her class being "hard" instead of being a good professor that wants to see her students succeed. If you can't read her mind on the homework then good luck. I have a feeling she likes giving out incompletes.

Professor Hixon is by far the most condescending, arrogant and does not want her students to succeed. Her responses are all the same "I talked about this in lecture", she does not believe in helping her students. It's as if she fuels off students struggle. Would NEVER take this professor again.

i feel like i'm getting lectured by my mom whenever i go to hixon's class. she always talks about how hard her class is and how so many people failed rather than helping out her students. she takes forever to reply to her emails. your best bet for assessment is to focus on student success & textbook readings. her lectures & powerpoints don't help

One of the hardest J1 classes ever! This class would be a lot easier if there was a different Professor teaching. First exam was horrible, PowerPoints did not align. For exam 2 Hixon punished those who did not come to class by giving those attended class a review, while leaving the student who attended virtually hanging.

She said "um, uh" 60 - SIXTY - times in a 13-minute video recording. So dont bother watching/attending lecture. Its a huge waste of time. Read the Abnormalities section in your textbook and visit Student Success since they do a better job than Hixon. Just because she flaunts the alphabet after her name doesnt mean she can teach future nurses

I showed up for the first lecture and never came back, I am sorry but I do not need to hear about your triathlon career especially when exam one wipes the floor with me after using her advice to use the lectures to study. Please just grind textbook and save yourself from her lectures. Also if you email her prepare to get a cryptic response back??

While Hixon herself seems like a nice person, she is not a great professor. I cannot stress reading the chapters, doing prepus, and going to student success. Her ppts will not help you even though she says they will and don't be fooled by a study guide; it's just a laundry list of info, nothing helpful. Pay attention to the abnormals in the book.

One of the worst professors ever! This lady does not care if you are struggling in her class. Please only reach out to student success if you are needing help with the course. She wants students to fail her class and think its funny when students dont do as well on her exams. Please read the book if you want to pass the class!

not consistent with her grading. If you are having difficulty in class, she doesn't help you; it feels like the only people that actually wants you to do well is student success. It's sad to see nursing professors feel proudful of students doing bad in their class. She doesn't encourage or listen to her students.

Worst class and Professor ever! This Professor is very arrogant and talks down to her students instead of trying to help them. She brags about how students fail her class and how the test scores are low. I never attended a lecture and still passed. Please utilize student success they are very helpful and will help you succeed in this class.

Worst Professor at UTA! Professor Hixon gets excited when students fails her class and its ridiculous. Never attended lecture due to catching covoid this past semester and still made an good grade. For exam 2 Hixon gave the student who attended class a exam review while leaving the virtual students hanging even though we have a chose to attend.

I haven't even finished this class yet, but I don't recommend this teacher. Halfway through this class and this professor has a coach who grades the case scenarios and doesn't grade them herself. I have done everything I can to make sure my case scenario was correct according to vid. Rewatching her videos is painful and everyone in my group agrees.

Went to the first class and never went to class after that. Powerpoints were useful to understand baseline knowledge of the chapter but not enough to successfully take tests. Read normals and abnormals in the textbook.

The um'iest professor you will ever have. She says um and uh every other word. Attend OOH for clarification and rely HEAVILY on student success to succeed in the course. Personally lectures, PrepU's, Shadow Health were not helpful. Exam reviews with student success as well as their supplemental files helped. Use your textbook to study abnormal!

Do not recommend taking her. She is very condescending in the way that she talks to students. Also, about 4 times a lecture we had to hear how she just got her doctorate. I will say to attend lectures and watch her facial expressions. She will not have a nurse face at all when it comes to talking about information that's on the Exam so take notes.

There are not enough words to describe how awful of a professor she is. Unfortunately, the class is mandatory and there is no way to not have her. The way she grades is ridiculously hard and inconsistent. Does not support, care, or have any lenience for students. If you look for help from her she is extremely passive aggressive.

Very tough grader and does not care for her students. Would not take her again.

Professor Hixon does not really care for her students. Is a hard grader for no reason. If you add an extra period or miss a period in a sentence she will take off points. Just take another professor.

She reads the slides and even though she is reading, she said uhm 32 times on one slide. She doesn't know how to pronounce common terms, doesn't explain anything, and just runs through the slides and skips around randomly. Just terrible. I only had to listen to her lectures but usually couldn't even bear it. Awful!

Would not recommend at all, very picky grader with little to no guidance. Feedback from her is pointless. Does not prioritize success. Lectures are not helpful, get ready to teach yourself!!
