CollegeHis class forces you to get in the habit of writing because of the deadlines, but in hindsight, Dr. Huk grades easily. You should put in effort into the assignments bc thats how you grow as a writer. Dr. Huk is a gentle and sweet soul, so attend and participate in his class!
Took him over the summer, so I always had 1-2 papers due T/R along with EC papers if I had time. Subject material was interesting, allows you to write about something you take interest in no matter what your major is. EC always helps whether you are a weak or strong writer, so always do more EC than you need. He also has a dog he brings to class!
such an easy A. the papers are not graded hard, almost nothing is to be turned in on "time". he allows you to rewrite anything you have turned in for a better grade. definitely take with him.
Really changed the way I think about film. We watched excerpts from a number of documentaries, including mock-, and had to think deeply about things like perspective, bias, editing, sound and then we had to come up with our specific plan for a research paper. I learned a lot and enjoyed the class far more than I thought I would. Eye-opening!
Honestly did nothing in this class. Multiple class periods were spent watching trailers. I hate to say any class was a waste of time, but I really didn't learn anything from this one.
Incredibly boring and long classes. Very disorganized, every assignment had vague grading criteria and it wasn't clear what he even wanted us to do. Grades more on how much work you do than how the actual writing is. Most of the class is a group project which was pretty easy though.
