Hands down one of the best professors I have had at state. He gets off track a bit in class but his stories are great and he gives his students the opportunity to redeem their grade! Don't second guess taking him, just do it!

Great professor. Amazing lectures, never boring. Tests aren't hard if you read the text and understand the concepts. He gives out many extra credits, so if you don't do well, the extra credits come in handy and you can do as many as you want.

One of the best professors here so far. Always looked forward to class because of him. Has a lot of stories and real-life scenarios that he likes to incorporate into lecture. 3 exams and a final (study guide provided for all of them). Dont need to take final if you get A's on all 3 exams. Some writing assignments involved too, but not too bad.

Comment:

One of the most interesting professors I've had. He is passionate about his jobs (he has a lot). Misses quite a few classes due to other work but he takes things out of the course when he misses classes. Tests are just like study guides. Follow the directions for the papers and you'll do great. He cares about his students and his classes are great.

He is very passionate about his jobs. Very funny always cracking jokes. Everything is test based, but his study guides are exactly like the test, so you should be fine. He does a review class day before the test and gives free- bes. Misses class often due to his other jobs. Overall a great class.

Dr. Hickey is one of the best professors I've ever taken. His lectures are always interesting and he is really funny. Try not to walk out of his class or show up late, he finds it very rude. His exams are easy and he offers extra credit. He makes a syllabus but rarely follows it, so don't be afraid to ask. He has a lot of good stories.

I thought his class was very easy but I thought it would be a little more interesting. He works with students, and really wants them to pass. Did not use book much so would not suggest buying it. Study guide is exactly like test and answers can be found on quizlet. Thought he was very funny, and cool but the class could have been more interesting.

Amazing instructor and hilarious. His test are straight forward as long as you take notes and read them. He is understanding about missing class and realizes that students have responsibilities outside or school. There is one major assignment and you have 3 options to choose from, and its super easy. Take the class!

He mentioned how he didn't teach this class for a while, so he took over someone else's syllabus, which contain to do many papers, but he was a great teacher, very flexible to insure everyone passed, basically if you give some effort he will pass you. Very funny would definitely take him again.

Best class I ever took at Fresno State. Hickey is absolutely hilarious, knowledgeable, and truly a nice person. He has a lifetime of experience in criminology, so you can really learn a lot from the guy. He gives out study guides for each test so the tests are a breeze. Take the class!

Dr. Hickey's class is why I chose my major focus. He definitely knows what he is talking about. He gives you study guides before each exam, so if you read & fill them out, you will do well. The extra credit assignment is optional. He will bump your exam grade up if you improve from 1st to 2nd, etc. If you ace all 3, you can opt out of the final.

Respected by students and travels around the globe to interview famous serial killers and criminals. Uses his own book that he writes as the class book, how cool is that? He gives many examples, experience, and stories that always made class interesting. There is always chance to improve your grade. Coolest instructor I have had
