This professor was good, however I felt sometimes that he over-explained some topics. His notes are great and easy to fill out. Tests and quizzes aren't super difficult but aren't too easy. Overall good professor.

He has a boring lecture and is a little monotone. First 3 chapters were EXTREMELY difficult. The last few aren't as bad. I recommend getting a tutor even if you are struggling the slightest bit... The class is curved a LOT through, so that is a bonus. I am good at Trig and Calc and I have just found this class to be very difficult.

Overall, a good professor. Attendance is not mandatory, but recommended. The MAC was very helpful throughout this course. He is very monotone and lecture heavy, but he knows what he is talking about. You get take home quizzes that are easy A's and he has note packets that you follow along in and practice examples.

Super great prof. He is definitely mono-tone which can make it hard to stay focused. There were 13 take home quizzes which he drops 2 or 3. He also drops 3 homework assignments and 1 test. He gives extra credit each lesson as well. Its nearly impossible to not do good. He is very slow while explaining stuff, so if you need extra help he's the one!

This class is so hard to pay attention to because he is so boring but I mean I explains everything in detail so theres that. But I mean one if the most boring professors I have ever had. It is so difficult to actually learn in the class being paying attention to him is one of the hardest thing you will have to do.

Great math professor. He goes nice and slow and explains everything very thoroughly. His voice is very mono-tone and makes you want to sleep but overall he's notes and teaching is very easy to follow, especially if you struggle with math!

Hicks is a wonderful professor! A little monotone, but it is probably just the subject. Very understanding and is willing to walk you through problems you don't understand. Accepts late work and has take home quizzes- what more could you want?

Clay Hicks is a great teacher! He explains the material very well and moves at a slow enough pace so that it is comprehendible. He drops your lowest exam score. He gives you practice tests before the exam and makes them worth up to 3 bonus points. Definitely recommend taking a class with him!

I took this course in the summer so it was accelerated however he planned and laid out the material so that it was never too much. He always made sure we understood a topic before moving on to the next. He's super lenient with work and dropped a few assignments at the end of the session too

Clay is a good professor. Time to time it doesn't make sense about what he is teaching but overall, he is a good teacher. He cares about your work and will help you when you need it. I would recommend his class to anyone! He is also an easy grader!!

During the lectures, he has the voice of an angel because he will put you to sleep. The lectures are dry and his voice is monotone. However, he will thoroughly explain the material and try to help you as much as he can.

If you're bad at math, I recommend taking this course with Hicks. His lectures are super boring and it's hard to pay attention in, but before every exam, he offers practice exams and you can get up to 5 extra credit points. I did poorly on every exam, but with all the extra credit he offered, I kept a decent grade.

Finite is the easiest math course you will ever take. Professor Hicks is a nice dude but he calculates problems too slowly and half the time you'll be sitting in class 45 minutes before it's over with nothing to do but zone out to him writing out problems on the screen. Just do all the homework and quizzes. Take advantage of all the extra credit!

Professor Hicks was a good professor but was overall average. As a person who hates math his long lectures do anything but keep me focused. Dry material. You will do a take home quiz each week. One bright note was that he gave a few extra credit assignments so even I, who sucks at math, received an A. Nice guy - average professor.

The class itself is not very difficult, but his lectures can be extremely dry. There is generally a "take home" quiz at least once a week and an assignment per section of the chapter. Tests are not difficult, but definitely show up for review days.

Great teacher. Do your homework, pass the tests and you'll be great. He offers extra credit at the end that could potentially boost you up about a letter grade! Take advantage :)

I strongly suggest Clay Hicks for finite! (I hate math and got an A) He makes this class super easy to understand. Homework and take home quizzes are easy points. He also offers extra credit for each chapter. Just attend class and take some time to review before the exams and you will do fine! Also, don't rent or buy book. You will not need it.
