Winter 2022 - Dickey is a sweetheart who really cares about his class. You can feel his passion in every lecture. The midterm was easy but the final was hard. The essay you get from day one so you have time to start early and can't be mad when the due date comes around in like week 8. The class didn't teach me how to write poetry like I wanted but it did grow my appreciation for the art.
