Mark is an amazing guy. He is extremely thoughtful, and tries to do what's best in your interest. He explains math so well, therefore his tests are a piece of cake. Just make sure you do your homework, and take the practice exams (they will help A LOT!) He is super encouraging, and overall he's just an amazing Professor. Take his class!!

I am not the best at math but Professor Dicks teaching methods helped me understand different concepts. I had to retake the course so I made sure Professor Dicks was the instructor. He is very caring and he wants to make sure you understand what is being taught. The world needs more professors who care about their students.

Amazing professor!! I failed this class previously and was allowed to retake it with professor Dicks. He helped me understand the concepts fully and met with me and a few other students after class many times on zoom. I truly feel ready for the next math now because of his help!!

Professor Dicks was awesome. I took his MGF1100 class online. His videos were very clear and helpful with lots of examples and good opportunities for extra credit. The class uses Pearson MyLab Math for all homework, quiz and test assignments (3 plus final). My only gripe with the class is no option for Honorlock, all tests must be taken on campus.

This is the first time I have had a math Professor explain things in a way that I could understand. He was fast to respond to any questions, was encouraging and gave extra credit for each test. I actually enjoyed this calls, and I have never said that about a math class in my life! I would definitely take a class by him again.

I took Math readiness. No text books used, rather detailed videos. Videos offered viewing the material more than once. He answered every message I sent him and was caring. I had one phone conversation with him because i work, where he took the time to clarify an answer i was just not getting. I appreciated the time he took with me. GREAT Teacher!

Professor Dicks is the first teacher I've ever had that taught me how to use basic math with positive and negative numbers. His lecture videos can be long, but they provide excellent examples for the assignments and he goes in depth for even the most simple questions. I highly recommend you take his class! He makes math fun and interesting :)

Professor Dicks shows you in your work where you went wrong and how to fix it, communication outside of the classroom is amazing, responds to emails the same day! If you are still having a hard time understanding problems, to answer your questions he sends you video explanations that are easy to follow and understand.

I cannot recommend him enough!!! I am TERRIBLE at math and was failing for majority of the semester. But he constantly worked with me, met with me via zoom and in person and really helped me. He does not want to see a student fail and he will WORK with you as long as you do the work as well!!! Do yourself a favor and take professor Dicks!!

MGF1100 is the first college class I've taken since graduating high school. Im now 26 and was very nervous about jumping back in after taking such a long break. Professor Dicks truly made learning process easy and understandable, I really have nothing negative to say. Would definitely take this class again, 10/10.

Professor Dicks is an incredibly helpful and understanding professor. Though the class can be challenging, his clear lectures, quick email responses, and willingness to provide extra support make it manageable. Combining his resources with unstuckstudy has been a game-changer for my math learning.

AMAZING! This is a pass fail class but you will pass for sure. This course is laid so that it is super easy to grasp even for people very new to algebra or math. He's so helpful. Great foundation for future classes. Not a lot of work at all. Everything is online so the "in person classes" are just like study hall so you can ask questions.

He's a nice teacher who doesn't mind curving grades if he sees that you've put in the effort and were close to the correct answer. The classes are conducted online, but the exams are in person. He is always willing to help and often extends due dates. He teaches really well and makes learning math super easy. Overall, I would 100% recommend him.

Mr. Dicks is a fantastic teacher! I am so glad I had him to help me get back into math after not being in school for 15 years. I have never liked math, but he made it to where I was so excited to come to class and explained the problems without getting frustrated or making me feel stupid. he even offered to help me with my other math classes.

Loved him as a professor. The class was pretty easy if you just watched the lectures and studied a bit before tests (which has no limit on the retakes). He gives good feedback and actually helps if you have questions. Made math way less scary and way easier to understand!

This class is great because it's easy to follow and you can work at your own pace. The teacher is really understanding and even lets you retake tests if you don't pass the first time, which takes a lot of pressure off. There are also helpful videos you can watch that explain the material clearly, so it's easier to understand what you're learning.

The class is hybrid online which includes pre-recorded lectures so that you can work at your own pace and live lectures 2 days out the week. Attending the live lectures aren't required, but important to earn attendance points to apply towards your module tests. Very easy to follow and learn. Professor Dicks is respectful, supportive, and polite.
