Not a big fan. His day one,"take this class seriously/I'm going to grade tough, etc." lecture left a bad taste in my mouth. He was often condescending-to the class in general, not individuals-which made the class hard to sit through because his lectures are of the audience validation variety, cracking jokes that would be funnier coming from a less insulting professor. Aside from that, his lectures were good, but delivered at break-neck speed, and the reading list was not too bad.
Huehls is a nice guy. At first impression he doesn't come across as very friendly, but once you get to know him he is nice, funny, and most importantly fair. No wasted effort in this class. That said, he bombards you with information. Its difficult to take notes and grasp the abstract things he is talking about at the same time. Overall the workload of the class is fair, the grading is pretty lenient. The comments on the MT and paper make it sound like you did horrible and it turns out you got an A. Overall I'd recommend him, but brace yourself for information overload!
Huehls is a really great guy. He's funny, witty, enthusiastic and makes outrageously awesome comments (if you take this class, you'll hear about Jonathan Safran Foer's sex dreams about Margaret Thatcher. OMG AWESOME).
He makes a point of not bashing one political party or the other, and I really appreciate that. His teaching style is great. HOWEVER, his content is a huge issue. He is INCREDIBLY abstract and theoretical, which I know really works for some people, but if you are like me and require something more concrete, this is not the professor for you. I felt like some of the topics he lectured on were so far removed from the book itself that I couldn't see the connections. At the end, that was what did me in. I didn't understand what he was talking about. His book selection also leaves much to be desired, he picks some pretty obscure books to read.
