great prof. I've ever had! exams were challenging, but you'll do well if you understand the concepts and can apply them. This means doing lots of practice questions. I hope Higgins never retires from UMD so my kids will have him too (one can only dream!). |

I liked the material we covered, but the exams were impossible. I typed up my notes from class, made study guides for the exams, read the book, and still failed every single exam. The class has some fascinating topics, but if you are looking for an simple class, just don't take it. And Dr. Higgins can be rude sometimes; we don't have the same humor. |

Do not take higgins for mamm phys lab! he treats this class like it's the only one you have and assigns a lot of group papers! He also had very high expectations for the students and grades really strictly on projects. You'd be lucky get even a B- in this class. He also doesn't curve. On the plus side, he is hillarious times during lecture. |

He's outstanding and fun to listen to, his courses are great but, his doesn't really explain the material very well, and his exams are really difficult. |

Concepts are pretty abstract and not very relevant to professions in science, but simple to understand, but the exams are strange. You can walk into the exam having studied for hours, but get C's on all of the exams because they are entirely true/false and you can get them wrong even if you know the material. Fun and friendly guy though. |
