Fall 2019 - Thank you Professor Huffin for being an open minded person who is willing to listen to all arguments on any side of the spectrum; a great quality to have. This class was difficult for me, but I appreciated the challenge. I also enjoyed the material lectured in the class, as it's very important and relevant to our society. Professor Huffin is also highly intelligent, and very respectful. He also complemented me on my Marilyn Monroe picture I had in my background during our online course. Thanks again Processor Huffin!
