Comment:

Very different teaching style than a traditional teacher. VERY laid back in class. Material is difficult, but he helps out if you ask questions. Too bad this is his last semester. I'm gonna miss that turkey.

Hicks is an awsome teacher. He is always trying to tell jokes and although they arent funny you laugh anyway. Pretty east material if you like accounting and very easy to follow in class, gives lots of examples.

HIlarious! He is so much fun in class, and helpfull outside of class. However, there are no easy grades to be had, you have to work for this one. Still class is a blast, and he has consistantly had the whole class laughing at times.

Comment:

Dr. Hicks is the bomb! The material is more challenging, but if you go to class everyday and do the homework, you should pass no problem. He's a very flexible teacher who wants the class to be ready for the test. He will push back test dates if the class or he feels you're not ready. He seems to really care about the students understanding the material and genuinely wants us all the become CPA's.

Comment:

One of the best professors I have ever had. Not for the lazy or half hearted, but it is impossible to pass his course without a clearer understanding for, and appreciation of, Accounting. Though his courses tend to be among the most difficult in the accounting program, help is available for those willing to dedicate the required time to learning the material.

Great guy, great teacher even though the subject sucks. He made it bearable, and in the end, when i changed my major and didn't need his class, he worked with me so it wouldn't screw up my GPA.

I hated accounting going into his class but he is the man for real. He sounds like Tommy Lee Jones if you shut your eyes. I never once did a homework assignment in there and still did well. He is fun, take him!

Such an awesome man! He makes every class a laugh. At times it might seem confusing but he goes over everthing a lot and it gets quite easy! I would take his class over just for the laughs

This is the hardest accounting class you will ever take, but Dr. Hicks makes it less painful (especially when he throws the current text). Be sure to do the homework for the class or you will be LOST!!

Nice guy, doesnt take attendance, a few pop quizzes during the course. If you dont do HW, this class will be hard. Has a very dry sense of humor, fun class though. Good teacher, tries to help if you don't understand.
