Comment:

He is the first teacher ever that I had at college that cared about his students. It kills me to think that he is retiring, for I wanted to take him in the fall. I was not sure if I wanted to be a teacher or not, but after his class, I wanted to be a teacher badly. Thank you Mr. Hix for all that you do for us as students!

His class is fun. You learn a lot and the stuff you learn is actually useful to your career. He is very understanding and caring. If I could take his classes every semester, I would. Such a wonderful professor.

What a good example of what a teacher should be. Do you know that he knew the name and address of every student in our class on the 2nd class meeting. I have many teachers who don't know our names at the end of the term. He mades you think and he is very kind. He is the hardest working teacher I have had. I hope to be like him someday.

He is a fair and kind teacher. He works so hard outside of the classroom - and he is the model of organization. Some of my other education teachers are a mess - mix up dates - don't give us guidelines on how to do things. But not Mr. Hix. I was lucky to have him. I also attended his star party that he does for the college - it was great!

He is such an inspiration! His lectures were interesting enough that the 3 12 night class went by quickly. My suggestions are attendance & participation. All of his assignments are baby stepped out - making it impossible to make a bad grade as long as you show up and complete the work.

Do you know what he does during the summers? He teaches STEM to poor kids. I know, for I had the chance to help him. He also worked with kids at public libraries and other programs. I have never seen someone do so much work for kids. He is an example of practicing what he says we should do. I am honored to say that I was his student.

Comment:

I asked another teacher for a letter of recommendation for a job - and they never sent it. I asked Mr. Hix for a letter and he wrote a letter that night and then called the school where I was trying to get a job. That is the kind of man he is. He works hard for his students and I am so proud to have had him

What a good teacher. I can't believe that I am going to miss any class, but tonight is the last night of his class and I am going to miss his class so much. A great man.

Comment:

The best teacher I ever had. I can't wait to attend his class. I hope to take him next term, but he is always joking about being too old to go on. I hope not, I was not sure if I really wanted to be a teacher, but I know now. I have taking other edu teachers, but he is the only one that is worth taking.

Comment:

I am a former student of Mr. Hix. He came to our school this summer to work with our students and conducted a STEM camp. He knows how to teach kids. They have never been so excited. One of my students said that due to his camp, he was going to be an engineer and stop global warming. You will never have a teacher who practices what he preaches

Today is the last day of this class. I have found that Mr. Hix is such a caring person. I was not sure if I wanted to be a teacher or not, but I do now. He is a great teacher and made me think differently about the classroom. I am very sad that this class is coming to an end

Just an awesome man! I was disappointed that I had to go to Motlow after high school, and I ended up with the best teacher anywhere! Just ask students who go to MTSU or TTU. No one comes close. I was very lucky to have had the chance to study under him.

Comment:

He is not like any other teacher I have ever had. He is intense in the classroom. And he is by far the best teacher I have ever had. I am a first year teacher and he spends so much of his free time helping young students and teachers, I don't know now how he does it. He works so very hard and he practices what he preaches - and he does preach.

He is the BEST, most caring teacher I have ever had. He is also on my short list of the finest people I have ever known. It was a pleasure to be in his class.

He walks on water! I just hope I can be like him someday. When the shooting took place in Newtown, all I could think of is how he is making us grow up so that we will be ready someday. I am proud I am going to be a teacher someday.

Comment:

I can only say what everyone else has said. He is GREAT. I cried on the last day of class. I learned so much, and one thing I learned was to understand what he was doing on the first day of class. He was modeling for us how to do our classroom. I thought he was mean the first day. I have not cried at the end of a class since 1st grade.

Comment:

WOW - that is all I can say - wow! I went to MTSU last year and hated it. I was not excited to attend Motlow, but I realized that his class was going to be better than anything I have ever taken. He is SO smart about everything. I went to see him work at a school this term and he has kids eating out of his hand. You will work hard, for he does.
