This is literally the worst professor Ive ever had. He doesnt provide good feedback (very vague) and he doesnt respond back to your emails. His instructions are also very vague. His course is the first course Ive dropped from college. That alone should tell you something. I suggest picking a better professor for fine arts appreciation.

Hilarious, and relatable. As long as you meet the requirements of each assignment, it is easy. Follow the rubrics. Actually read the articles, although there is a lot, they are very helpful. I took this class as a hybrid so we only met on campus once a week. He canceled in person class a lot, but I felt like this whole class could have been online.

Professor accused me of plagiarism and gave me a zero on a major assignment with no indication of what was plagiarized, all work was my own. I went to the tutor who checked my work and found no evidence of plagiarism. I emailed professor, told him what tutor said, asked to meet with him. Didn't respond to multiple request so I dropped the class.

Im honestly not sure why theres bad reviews on Dr. H. Everything in this class was very straightforward and easy to understand. Expect to complete discussion boards, annotated bibliographies, and midterm/final project. Although it seems like quite a bit of work at first, theres pretty interesting topics we discuss. Overall it was an easy A.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I enrolled to get an easy extra 3 hours of credit to transfer. This "Art" class was a joke. Took more time to complete assignments than in all 5 of my other classes. I am a 4.0 student and the amount of work for this class put me on my butt. If you like absurd amounts of work, this class is for you. It is not an easy A.

Discussion posts almost each week so if writing is not your thing don't take. But I loved this class, he would talk a little to get our in class discussion started but then he would let us take over and learn that way by asking questions and such. No tests just writing assignments, but he lays everything out so if you do what he asks you are set!

Hes very rude. DONT TAKE THIS CLASS!!! The questions on his exams have nothing to do with the modules. His exams are proctored as well with a short amount of time. I have made mostly straight As in college and this was the only class where I had a C.

Dr. Hufnagle was fantastic. His lectures are very interesting and he is openminded and great with keeping students engaged. I am a Biochem major the class was fun and I like his way of teaching. Beware, there is a lot of work; discussion boards, annotated bibliographies, midterm and final projects, and the occasional in class or group project.

A lot of writing but as long as you adhere to what he's looking for it's pretty easy. He's a very interesting person and has a lot of thought-provoking topics you will discuss in class so if you enjoy that then he's definitely worth taking.

Took over Wintermester as an elective, and it's SIGNIFICANTLY more reading and writing than any other intro class I've ever taken (including other Wintermester courses). To me, the course materials and Dr. Hufnagle's writing both come across as pretentious; it's very overkill for an intro class. Definitely would avoid

I took him for Engl 1301. It is a bit of a challenge to pinpoint the correct style of writing that will get you good A's as he does want conciseness, but after 1-2 papers its easier. He is humorous, allows time for revision and fast at replying to emails.. Overall, as long as youre good at listening and taking notes during lectures, you'll pass.

Out of all my professors this semester, he was by far the worst. I had SO many personal troubles that kept me from attending class mid-semester. I tried to email him for help several times with NO RESPONSE. I really needed help and he didn't care. My other 3 professors helped me get by, I recommend taking a class with a professor who really cares.

He was very particular on what he wanted but gave few instructions on what to do. I believe it didn't matter what you turned in or how efficient your work was, if he didn't feel like you were progressing in your assignments, he would give you a bad grade. Beware you're gpa will drop fast in this class.

I really enjoyed Professor Hufnagle's class. His class starts a little broad but once you zero in on his assignments, it makes for a interesting and engaging class. He also encourages you to relate his teachings to media you enjoy and you can relate to. Overall he's understanding and engaging, you will do group work in class, but it's fun and easy!

two words pretentious and arrogant, these two words sum up his grading style and overall attitude. I think he try's to come across as the "cool but strict" teacher, but in reality its just plain rude. He grades on his own rubric with unrealistic expectations. i would not step foot in his class again even if you paid me

I have to say that this is one of the most hardest classes I have ever been in. The discussion board essays and the annotations were the easiest but the way he grades it is very shady. I stressed out for 6 weeks to make sure my research papers were perfect and did it for a long time. I neglected myself for this class and had to drop it.

This class should come with a TRIGGER WARNING! Humanities is meant to be a pretty easy going course, however with Dr. Hufnagle's there is a heavy amount of reading and writing, and he is a tough grader when it comes to the discussion posts. He is also very inconsiderate and goes into detail about SA acts (r*pe) w/o regard for a student's comfort.

I'm torn on this one. On the one hand, I believe what he teaches is very important and on the other hand, I sold my soul to this class. He's a very tough grader, but he also has very clear guidelines. If you follow the guidelines and put a LOT of effort in, you'll do great. When he mentions what part of an assignment you should be on, be on it.

I took English II and Humanities with Dr. H.He is really cool. As long as you listen to what he says and do exactly what he asks for its easy grade. Be concise and follow his instructions. He is always ready to help if you are willing to learn.
