Best class I have taken at UCLA. Super involved lectures and very interesting if you are even remotely interested in free speech or supreme court precedent. He welcomes all viewpoints and encourages class involvement. Huppin is extremely intelligent and provides insightful perspective. Super genuine guy and funny guy. He has a law degree from Stanford. I am certainly planning on taking future courses by him. Midterm and Final are very manageable but ready every single reading he posts. Most are very interesting and informative while being reasonably short. Also one short paper that he grades generously assuming you make a good faith effort. It is just an opinion piece requiring zero outside sourcing. You should really take this class if you are on the fence. Again, best class I have taken at UCLA.

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.

I heard a lot of great things about this professor and extremely disappointed with how he handled virtual teaching. His communication and organization skills are embarrassing as a professor with a JD and PHD (which he reminds us of very often). I understand these circumstances are difficult for professors, but they are just as difficult if even more so for students. avoid all virtual classes with him. exams are tough and he does not give enough time to finish. before our midterm and final he didn't even discuss it/mention and instead had irrelevant guest lectures discussing architecture, I'm sorry but I don't see the correlation to mass media. He even tested us about some abstract poem the guest lectures shared relating to a mason jar. I'm not even upset about the rigor of the course but just disappointed with his lack of communication when we aren't able to physically be in a classroom or visit him in office hours. When students raised concerns or asked questions, he avoided providing answers and was extremely defensive for absolutely no reason. He seems like a nice guy, but he wasn't there for his students when we needed it the most. Ignored all of my emails or responded days later when my questions were not even relevant. I will be avoiding all classes with huppin.

Professor Huppin is one of the best professors I have ever had. His lectures are engaging and thoughtful. I always looked forward to going to his classes and talking with him afterwards.
The workload in his class is incredibly light and he grades fairly easy. You should have no problem getting a good grade in his class if you put in even the minimum amount of effort. More importantly, you will learn a lot and have fun in the process.

This class was extremely interesting. It focused on the first amendment and different court cases related to the first amendment. It would probably be even more interesting during an election year. The professor is a fair grader and is engaging during lecture. There was a midterm, final, and two short papers.
