Mr. Hawkins is a very great teacher. What I love about him the most is that he keep it real and he is one of the teachers at FTCC that cares about his students. He is there to help not to drag you in the mud like some of the teachers at FTCC. If there were more teachers like him FTCC would have people graduating rather than transfering or quitting.

Mr. Hawkins is a very good teacher. I took him last semester and I am taking him again this semester and maybe the rest of my time at FTCC. Mr. Hawkins is all about helping his students. He wants to see everyone walk across that stage with a smile on there face. If we had more techers at FTCC like Mr. Hawkins FTCC would be great.

As always, I learned so much more about criminal justice from Mr. Hawkins. Each class I take with him as my instructor and the knowledge gained at the end of the class, keeps me focused and determined to finish what I've started. I'm appreciative of teachers/instructors like Mr. Hawkins and encourage others to register for his classes.

This is an awesome class to take and Mr. Hawkins is a large part of its success. This class is not an "Easy A", because one must think out of the box and not just restate the textbook. One's grade is dependent on one's commitment to the class. One of the best classes I have had that combines real world knowledge with classroom base experience.
