Favorite class I've taken at UCLA. Enrolled in my first Waitlisted class at the chance of having this professor again. Do the readings and understand the material, and you will do well. Content is applicable and engaging. Class participation is helpful, but I know that is not everyone's cup of tea.

I liked this course and would recommend it. Huppin was very funny and the lecture content was very interesting to me. He uploads the audio version of the lecture but his voice is often very monotone so it's not very engaging, to be honest, it's best to just go. I thought the tests were very reasonable and easy to digest, just make sure you do the readings! He adds minor details that can easily cost you a couple of points. Overall, good class.

Best professor at ucla. A midterm, an easy easy paper designed to boost the grade, and a final. I have the course reader for this class, brand new untouched. for half of what i bought it for. $25 **********

Loved this class! But the final was a lot harder than the midterm, as he uses a few questions from the course reader, and if you have not read that then you might lose a few points. Attending every class is crucial in order to understand what each case constitutes of, but of course they could also be read over online. He is a great professor who is very engaging and truly cares about his students and their understanding of the class. 2 papers that are a bit hard to get full credit on-probably the grading fault of the TA's, but if you answer everything from the prompt and add some of your own analysis, you should be fine. Also selling the course reader **********

Huppin has a really big ego. This dude loves to showoff his knowledge on the amendments. Weird guy.

Exam 1- 40%
Exam 2- 40%
1 thought paper- 20% (usually there are two worth 10% each)

I found Huppin's lectures to be engaging and interesting. I really enjoyed the material as I felt it to be relevant information. The reading material is manageable; there are a few articles/ cases to read prior to lectures. I read all of the readings for the exams and did well. The exams are fair and straightforward. You should be fine if you put in the time to study and read the material. He offers office hours after class and also meets with students via appointment. He isn't great at communicating and doesn't answer his emails. When students had positive cases of COVID and couldn't take exams, he had difficulty getting back to them. Other than poor communication, I would recommend Huppin and this course.

There is a lot to say about this class - it's extremely interesting, for one. The material is very engaging and you will learn some very valuable things, even if you are not interested in law. However, it is very challenging, so be prepared for that. You have to put in a lot of work to succeed on the exams. Huppin is also pretty terrible at communication. He never responds to emails, even if they are students notifying him of positive covid results right before exams, and he also never got back to them after the fact. His lectures are not very structured either, so I sometimes found it difficult to follow everything he was saying until after I Googled it later. My best advice is to read all of the case briefs in full before taking exams, they are extremely useful. Definitely do all of the readings for this class.

I don't remember what class I took with him. He is a great professor. You wont regret taking him!

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.

Avoid taking huppin at all costs.
Huppin teaches evolutionary psychology, which is sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic. If you are female, an immigrant, and/or gay, you will be offended by him.
On top of that he also bores you to death with his monotone voice, while torturing you with trick questions on MC exams.
