Going in I was pretty excited about this class but Prof Huppin’s inability to keep the class moving became super frustrating. He ended up cutting out a lot of material from his syllabus because we got so far behind. The same 10ish people would constantly raise their hands which slowed us down and a lot of people would send in chat questions and he would take every single question rather than just moving on so we could get through the material. This ended up kind of hurting us in my opinion because we had only covered about 3 topics by the time we had to take the midterm so I felt like he was stretching out so few topics across the midterm by making some of the questions either really specific and hard or by asking us things we never talked about in class. A lot of his test questions are very long and wordy which was a little difficult with the time limit, I ended up submitting 1 minute before the deadline for both tests. Other than my complaints about his time management, I liked his teaching style and the class was always interesting. He also made sure to make himself available outside of class to talk about the midterm which I appreciated. Besides a midterm and a final we had to do 3 thought papers, each 3 pages long. The topics were pretty interesting and they were graded leniently, basically no one got less than 9/10 if you did the work. Overall I would recommend this class especially if you are interested in law but it was disappointing to me that we didn’t get to cover a bunch of interesting topics because he allowed way too much participation.

Interesting class but the exam can be hard if you don't do the readings well because some exme questions can be very detail and tricky.

This class had cases which he would go over in class. He was always available in office hours. There were two short papers which helped your grade. I enjoyed the class.
