Overall Prof. Bickner is a really nice and friendly guy. I'd say his class is rather easy but boring at times. However, he has a pretty high expectations when it comes to your work. See him during office hours and he will definitely help you. Don't forget to PARTICIPATE ACTIVELY in discussions!!Rate My Professors ↗
