WRIT50E . Huk P M A Month Ago

Assignments like the resume and research project were pretty valuable and I did notice my writing improving over the course. He talks a lot but is overall a very chill, knowledgeable guy. Grading criteria can be confusing at times but most of the time he gave credit just for doing the work.

WRIT50E . Huk P M 10 Months Ago

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.

Solid guy. Professor Huk is funny and down-to-earth. I learned a lot in his Writing 2E and 50E classes. He's a bit disorganized, but it's fine once you get the hang of his class/assignments. Just show up (he takes attendance) and pay attention, and you'll be fine. Classes are long, but no midterm or final exams. 10/10 would recommend.

Professor Huk is a great guy. Probably the easiest class you will encounter in college. Classes are long and boring though.

WRIT2E . Huk P M 1 Year, 1 Month Ago

The most disorganized professor I have ever had. Forgets to post things and grades almost everything at the very end of the quarter. His class is easy in terms of content but his style is just not for me.

Clearly shows the engineering purpose and applications of what he's teaching. Has very clear grading guidelines; if you do assignments competently, you'll get at minimum a B. Very communicative dependent.
