There was no graded homework throughout the semester, which was nice, but it was replaced with weekly quizzes. Lectures could sometimes be ambiguous, but there were ample examples given for each subject. Practicing for quizzes and midterms is just a lot of repetitve examples from lecture and the book.Rate My Professors ↗

At the start this class was amazing, lectures were interesting, assignments were doable, grading was acceptable. However, after the drop date passed she changed her style completely, the grader changed and became more tough almost need to be 1000% correct to get a grade. The lectures got dull and long and the assignments were impossible. RUN!!!!!!!Rate My Professors ↗

I had hicks for civil engineering 421, environmentally sustainable engineering and she was great! She seems to genuinely care about her students and their learning. The class was very easy, one short writing hw and one medium length hw a week. One semester long group project. Class was super interesting and hicks cared about the subject.Rate My Professors ↗

Professor Hicks was a very good professor this class. The homework actually helps your learning, you're given the answer keys before they're due and they're graded on completion. The grading is more than fair for exams and will help you. Most of all she genuinely seems to care about teaching and student learning. Highly recommend her as a prof.Rate My Professors ↗

The class was very straightforward. The midterms were quite reasonable and based exclusively off of the lecture material. The cumulative final format was chosen by the class. Some of the questions were rather obscure. An example is one that was technically in the lecture slides but only mentioned once in a graphic.Rate My Professors ↗
