Class attendance is extremely important because he is very engaging with his lessons. You have to read the text book outside of class but his lecture makes the material more clear.

Huft is the funniest professor ever. His lectures consist of a lot of discussion between students but his lectures are always interesting . He is so easy to approach and he really cares about his students. No homework except 3 papers that aren't easy, but not too difficult either. He is young and upbeat and so fun take him for maximum entertainment

I took his PSYC 110 course; it's his first time teaching this class, but I'm learning so much from him! He makes sure you can apply this to the real world by giving us three relevant topic papers. He genuinely cares about his students and makes sure we all individually get attention during class. Super understanding and kind. Love him!

Great teacher. Makes class very enjoyable. As long as you do the work (very few assignments that are spaced out nicely) and pay attention (a couple of pop quizzes that should not be difficult if you pay attention) it shouldn't be a stressful class. High recommend this teacher.

I believe this was more of an interactive class and that participation and attendance matters. He doesn't post any of his lectures online, so you would have to attend class in order to get them. The lectures are pretty straight to the point, and really easy to understand. There are only 3 essays for this class which are very easy and 2 exams.

I took Justin because of all of the reviews on here, but I will tell you what everyone else failed to. Yes his lectures are interesting and he can be funny, BUT, he's actually pretty rude and condescending to students and seems bothered whenever anyone asks a questions for clarification.
