Comment:
Dr. Hicks was one of the most inspirational professors of my undergrad experience. She articulated beautifully and taught more than what is written in the textbook. If you are a literalist do not take her. If you want to learn from someone who can offer you insight that you will not understand until years to come- then challenge yourself.

I am currently taking Psych of Women with her and it is not a good experience. Class time feels wasted. She does not go over what's on the test or any of our readings. The whole class period is spent on her ramblings of irrelevant things ex: twilight meditation

I took a few classes from her and will never forget her. Amazing concepts taught by her and she will give you great insights into life if you open yourself up to her class and teachings.

Would hate to have this woman as a counselor! She is arrogant and extremely biased. Not very friendly...only teacher I've had who does not smile in passing. She actually holds her head in the air and avoids eye contact. Easy class, but would be much more useful from someone else!!!

Comment:
She thought she was clever with all her little games, but in reality she was just really frustrating. Easy grading as long as you do your work and follow her stupid rules, but you will learn very little. Every day was a challenge to figure out what she wanted us to do. I would rather struggle actually learning material than waste time with her BS

Dr. Hicks has her own kind of weird way of teaching, so if you don't know her, you might not like it at first, but if you hang in there and step out of your comfortable normal way of learning, then you will find that her way of teaching will stick to you more than any other classes you'll ever take. I truly think this women is a wonderful professor

Comment:
I really did not like this teacher. Her class was really super easy, so if you're looking for a 4.0 than you can take her. However, you will not learn anything. She'll lecture every day about feminism and ask you to label yourself and talk about really personal experiences in groups. Awkward, boring, and overall not that great of a teacher.

At first I didn't want to take this class,but I'm glad I did. I actually learned quite a lot from the readings etc. Lecture doesn't have anything to do with tests, but she gives the answers to whats exactly on the test. SUPER HELPFUL. Got a 4.0, easiest class ever. And love how she focus on multicultural diversity. Taking another class with her!=)

She requires a lot from her students at first, it eases up a bit, but its never easy. The class is fun if you get into a good group. Be sure to go every day because she lets you substitute your attendance % for your final. She doesn't really do a lot of teaching, but i feel that i learned quite a bit from the class because of the requirements.

Doctor Hicks can intimidate you at first but stick this class out. If you are truly interested in psychology you need to have taken a class from her. Give her a chance and you will see that this lady knows more than you could imagine. I got more out of her class that will benefit my future than from almost any teacher.

Holy cow, she is totally nuts. Try to avoid her if you can! There were 2 assignments of mine that were never even recorded on Bb or in her gradebook, and eventhough I took them to her and showed her them, she said it was "too late not" even though I know FOR A FACT that grades weren't due for another 2 days. I learned NOTHING from her.

Comment:
I had her for 2 graduate courses. She is bizarre and off topic. Avoid this teacher if possible. She made the entire class sit 'centered' so our 'mind was opened'. Her only saving grace was that when she asks you a question you can always say you choose to 'censor' your response for personal reasons.

Comment:
I took psychology of women from her. While the subject matter was interesting and some of her lectures were entertaining, she clearly doesn't care about her students. The worst aspect of this class was that all of our papers were done as a group and were all graded by her T.A. Being graded for group work is unfair and shows the prof's laziness.

She is not a good teacher at all. She is a femininst (which isn't always a bad thing, but in her case it is) and not helpful or approachable or nice or ANYTHING. Her only redeeming quality is that she's old and she'll be gone soon.

Comment:
Had her for both Abnormal and Psych of Women. 90% of the in-class days are worthless. Both classes talked more about diversity and femanism than proper subjectmatter. 1st 3 weeks of Ab. were ALL diversity, NO pathology. I am getting virtually nothing out of the classes she ATTEMPTS to teach. Been here 35 years so she should just retire.

How's this for irony: a psychology teacher who's psycho? Easy A, but be prepared for the professor from Mars.
