this was the funnest class, he is very animated.
AWESOME!!!
Hilarious and unpredictable. He makes you want to learn and you'll never be bored in his class. Very, very animated!
Very fun teacher. You will have trouble falling asleep in his class. He challenges students but just enough. You won't regret taking him!
UNBELIEVABLE teacher! Truly cares about his students. I am so thankful to have been able to take his class this semester. If you come to class, do your work, and put forth an effort, he makes it very easy for you to pass. Take his class; you will NOT be disappointed!
Truly a breath of fresh air as far as professors go these days. He somehow has the ability to grasp the attention of everyone in class and maintain a fun and energetic environment. I highly recommend taking Professor Huffman. You won't regret it!
This man is AMAZING he picked on me the first day of class made fun of me in a joking way and was the BEST professor I have taken so far. He honestly cares about his students will work with you if you have issues and is a friend to everyone. Best Ever
What a professor! He makes learning fun. Be prepared to do a lot of work for this man, but he makes it FUN. He has the best personality of any professor I had. You should take his class you will learn a great amount about formatting your papers and writing.
Great teacher, but he does give weekly papers, daily quizzes, and intensive, nightly reading assignments. He is always willing to help IF you make an effort. Professor Huffman is strict on his attendance policy & accepts no tardiness, but definitely makes learning fun. This class was no "cake walk," but if you study and work hard, you should pass.
Professor Huffman is quite possibly one of the best teachers I have ever had.
my cuzin sharika had say to take him but he be much hardr now!! profeser huffman is the hardst instructer i had evr had and i had thot sowthwest would had been eazy cuz its a comunity collage but he gived a test every day and graded realy hard and he had lookd for comas and punktuation on the pappers and stuf. WAY to HARD and WAY to much work!!!!!
Mr. Huffman is challenging but he's very clear in his expectations. This IS college! Many people have been "pushed through" school their entire life, but Professor Huffman does NOT GIVE grades! All grades are EARNED & all grades are FINAL! Come to class, study, & submit work on time. You MUST be organized- if you're not, don't bother signing up!
this joker be strickd! He dont let nobody use no computers or fones. he alwayz tell us to pull are pants up! i dont think he should tell us how to ware are cloths but hes said its not fare to the other students. oh and these other peoples is rite hes WAY 2 hard... i had droped!!
Omg this teacher is psycho! He talked about ridiculous subjects and seemed crazy at times but he knew his course and was a great teacher. I'm happy I took this class because I learned to manage my time and what I am capable of. I highly recommend this teacher to anyone that's is serious about school and wants to enjoy class at the same time. :)
This man was great in the ways that he teaches. This class is going to make you work. The work was easy, but you just have to do the work. You can get an "A" in a snap if you just do the papers. You need to understand how to conduct research and understand MLA format.
This guy was one of the best teachers that I have had in a long time. The work is easy once you know what you are doing. If you do not know understand MLA, learn before you get here. This class will make you think and learn how to conduct research.
Awesome teacher!! There are not many teachers out there that can make coming to class enjoyable, but he does!
Mr. Huffman is AWESOME! He's hilarious! I always looked forward to coming to his class. So thankful I had the opportunity to be in his class. Every class since his seems dull now because his lectures were so interesting and funny. I should come to school to say hi to him someday and thank him for letting me see that school could be fun. When I have a hard day at school, I think back at how much fun his class was. I miss those days!
He was super easy! At the start of the semester we used our books alot so get it before you come it class. I dislike English alot and he made it fun. Take him
Fantastic instructor. An entertaining eccentric with the capacity to motivate and inspire, and he's constantly flexing his muscle in those departments. I've thoroughly enjoyed his class and hope to have him for one more before moving up to UofMemphis.
During the little time I spend with Mr. Huffman, I fell in love with him. At first, he may seem like a nutjob, but he did make some interesting and valid points. He is funny and hilarious. He seems very passionate about what he teaches, and knows the material very well. I really wish I could take him for ENGL 1020. I highly recommend him!!! :)
(American Literature) Funny, Outgoing guy, but every class is about deconstructing poems, short stories, plays, ect. His personality is great, but his work is not. If you want a good, interesting teacher, take him, but be prepared to work some for your grade. Gave multiple quizzes and about 2-4 tests. 2 Papers. Fun, but hard.
Great Professor!! As long as you explain why u gave an answer he will except it! Makes class very fun and interesting! Im not into English but he made it interesting and I actually looked forward to going to class!! best teacher I've had!
Not at all confusing. He likes to talk, but to a purpose. Very opinionated, but is ok if you don't agree. Gives a graded quiz 1st thing every class based on textbook reading the first half of semester, so don't delay getting books. Great teacher. sometimes class is spent waiting on him to grade things, instead of being taught, tho (busy guy)
complicated but nice guy.He talks so much that you can't focus on any other work from other classes.when he talks he gets louder and louder it is sometimes annoying.he grades hard!You have to know Mla before you leave his class.Dont take him for granted,if he says study do it because he will quiz or test you.interesting class made an A.
I took this class because I wanted to learn English. So why does this teacher spend so much time expressing personal opinions? It is down right disturbing at times. He makes comments that are negative towards life in general. I came to learn English not personal views on life. He gets angry if you pack up early says it make him nervous. Psycho
I loved taking "Huff Daddy" class! I took his class in the spring 2013 and we went to London. He is hilariously crazy and I love the fact that class was an open discussion of the reading. Sometimes he would not agree with our views but he was respectful about it and asked us to elaborate on why we got the message that we got from the articles
He has clear preferences in class. They seem to be on the line of color. He makes it harder on the black students in class. I think it was already known because even though Southwest is majority black not many blacks were in his class. He grades accordingly. If he likes you you can turn in anything and get a good grade. He is not a fair teacher.
First of all, I am African American and have had Prof. Huffman for 3 classes and never felt that there was preferential treatment of any kind. In fact he seems to go out of his way to be lenient to people of all races and ethnic backgrounds. He is not an "EASY" instructor but if you study and on time to his class you will do fine. He is awesome.
Profesor Huffman I a really cool teacher. He is opinionated but is fun. He can be an ass but wants you to learn. You need to learn MLA or you are screwed. The first half of the semester he will give a quiz at the start of class. Don't worry about the first one he uses it to scare you and teach you what he wants you to study for. Over all great guy.
This was only my first semester, but Prof. Huffman was my far my favorite teacher. He's not going to just give you and A, but if you at least try you can make a B easily if you do the homework assigned and use your MLA book. I'm going to try to get in one of his English II classes if I can. Great teacher!
Professor Huffman is a great teacher. While he's not just going to give you an A for just being there you can make one if you put in a little bit of effort to do so. You do have to the assigned reading and homework, because he likes to give oral quizzes, but the quizzes are straight from the chapter. I hope I can take his class for English II.
Great Professor. Just please do the readings and all projects. I came close to failing, but Professor Huffman isn't a harsh professor. If you truly want to learn and do well, DO IT. He was the professor that gave me the wake up call i needed. No excuses folks. easy work just dont get lazy and slack.
Huffman is a loud & engaging speaker. He will command your attention & will call you by name to add to the discussion. Actively read the assigned reading before class & study the bolded items, bc these will be on the quiz the next day. Take your assignments seriously, complete them on time, & you will be in good shape. Not easy, but worth my time.
Professor Huffman is one of the top instructors at Southwest. His classes are not just educational, but are actually interesting as well. If you have any questions or need help he's available and willing to help you as much as you need. He wants you to succeed. I think he's awesome. I highly recommend taking his class.
he is a cool person but if ur looking for an easy A do not take him! he gives oral quizzes and counts everything u do as 25% of ur grade and does not let u work on ur paper in class if u r going to take English Comp 2 then take rodney whitaker easy A gives u plenty of time to finish ur paper and lets u work on it in class take him!
Professor Huffman is my favorite instructor at Southwest. His classes are interesting and you actually learn something. He truly cares about all his students and wants you to succeed. I highly recommend taking his class.
Great teacher. MLA is tough, but he'll help you with it. Hope to take him for English Comp. II.
Prof. Huffman is a great teacher. I highly recommend taking his class. He genuinely cares about all his students and wants each and every one of them to succeed.
he is GREAT. Mr. Huffman has a particular teaching style that is unique all his own. he has really changed my college experience. He won't hand you an A by any means, but if you show interest he will definitely work with you. SUPER funny. I signed up for another class of his. PS gives pop quizzes
Mr. Huffman is one HILARIOUS teacher! Never a dull moment with him! Be prepared for oral quizzes after each reading and also papers to write. They are usually easy to write. Also, his class was very verbal. We have tons of interesting class discussions. Sometimes we get off subject and then it's time to go :) lol. Great caring teacher!
I love his paper topics and his style of teaching. He is really funny . I hope to get him again for another class. definitely the most interesting class i have taken so far in college.
One of the greatest instructors at the school. Thought it was going to be tough but ened up enjoying the course. Also took another one of his courses and enjoyed that one as well. Would take again if needed to. Great personality, never boring, care about his students, and will help you in any way he can.
My only drawback with him is that he is a bit unorganized sometimes and our grades get back to us a little late. Even with that i would take him again. His papers that he assigned to us were thought provoking. Oh and DO NOT be late to his class repeatedly because the man DOES NOT play with tardiness.
Professor Huffman is a good teacher, a book is mandatory for this class because you have to read over your material, and take quizzes over them the next time you have class. He would sometimes get off topic with his lectures but overall his class is easy if you study and pass the quizzes (BEWARE OF POP QUIZZES) and turn in your work!
Not to difficult. Try and you will pass. Slow getting grades back.
Seems wishy washy at times but ok Real helpful if you can wait around awhile to get help. Busy guy!
Great instructor with interesting lectures. Show up & do the work you'll pass. One drawback he doesn't answer emails.
Professor Huffman is one of the best instructors at Southwest. He wants all of his students to succeed. If you need help all you have to do is let him know.
Okay guy, but as a professor I wouldn't recommend taking his class. He gets sidetracked easily and real slow giving graded work back. He gives extra help but you will have to wait around for an hour or more to get any. Extra credit a plus!
One of the better professors at STCC. He is clear on all assignments and goes over every quiz and test so you know exactly what you missed. Interesting lecture topics inclass disvussions.
He is really funny but pretty old school. The only issues have are from a religious stand point. But academically he is a good teacher as long as you come to class. He does not play around with half way doing stuff. You need to be prepared to write good quality essays.
Professor Huffman is one of the best. He isn't a tough grader but he does expect his work to be done exactly how he wants it, and nothing less. Most of your grades will come from daily quizzes, so make sure to always go to class. These quizzes are not hard as long as you read exactly what he tells you.
Really great teacher, was honest and fair.
Huffman was a tough but fair instructor. If you don't come to class or do the work, you will not pass. He presents a challenge, but a healthy one. It felt really rewarding to complete his course successfully.
Very rude
Hes very rude and disrespectful
Very rude! I would never advise anyone to take him.
cares about students and makes you think critically
Worst professor ever! Lectures are okay but he takes forever to give back your graded work. Some assignments & quizzes in my class took him 2 months if not longer to give back to us.
Take any professor but this one.
Great professor. Assignments, quizzes, and papers are not hard to complete and make a good grade on as long as you are willing to do them. Highly recommend.
I liked being in Huffmans class I hope hes teaching a fall semester Literature course that I can get I .!
Great Instructor! I highly recommend taking his Comp. II class.
My absolute favorite professor at Southwest Tennessee Community College so far. I am taking Literature from him this fall.
Professor Huffman is one of the best instructors I have ever had. He makes the course content interesting. He has a real passion for teaching cares about his students.
Get the textbooks the course requires and you will be fine.
I liked how he told us what we needed to study for the midterm instead of just giving out a study guide.
He is a good professor but if you tend to slack off and not want to do the assignments accordingly then I would recommend another professor. If you are not mentally prepared for the real deal then choose another professor.
Professor Huffman is not accessible outside of class, he will not check his email. The class that I was in wasted an incredible amount of time. He would give us a quiz every day but only ever graded our work in class while we sat there doing nothing. He takes forever to get your work back and I never recommend.
He doesnt teach, he tells you to read the whole chapter which is usually long as crap and then the next class he will give us a quiz. He doesnt go over any of the stuff until after the quiz. He tells us we are all gonna fail, which i have never gotten a D or F In college until I went to his class. Dont take him!!!!
Worst class ever. Take anyone but him.
HARSH GRADER.
The course load was expected for a college class. Anyone should be able to be successful and pass as long as they do the required work.
Awful teacher. Dont take him. He is the worse
Dont take English 1 from this teacher. All he does is talk. He gives tons of work and grades slow.
Rudest professor I have ever had. Grades slow and takes points off for everything. Dont waste your time emailing g him because he never answers any emails.
I had him in the Spring of 2020- the semester of COVID. We were in person for half of it, then went virtual. One in-person class (that had several adult students) I recall him breaking down the costs of living. Asking the class how much we spend on food/gas etc etc. It took up the whole lecture, and I'll never forget it.
I would recommend taking another professor. He grades to slow and he takes forever to get to the lesson. He talked about off topic things all the time.
He was tough in the beginning, but as long as you do your work and pay attention you should be fine.
Very straightforward and engaging.
Be a good and committed student. You will find a great and inspirational professor in him. Do your work; he will do his work; when he gives you work to study, go and study cause there will be no magic to passing his exams and quizzes. Otherwise, he is a fascinating professor. His lectures are sound and audible enough to grasp concepts.
I love Huffman. He's made my time at SWTCC. Had him since my first semester at SWTCC in 1010. I've taken him since then, from ENGL1020 to early & modern world lit. & topics in dystopian lit. His classes are engaging/fun & he truly wants to see his students succeed. Dont take him if ur sensitive, as he does approach sensitive topics.
Professor Huffman's classes are not difficult; however, if you are not willing to study, attend every lecture, and put forth your best effort, you shouldn't sign up for his classes. He is very thorough in covering the material. The topics, debates, and conversations in his classes are very engaging. I recommend taking his courses, especially Lit.
