Huckings is a prof that makes you learn. If you want an easy A, don't take him but if you want to increase your knowledge of economics, that's a different story.

If you want to learn more about Microeconomics, especially preparing for Course 2, you must take him... because he will force you to read the book instead of paying attention in his class...

Boring class but when it comes to tests, they are not that hard. Study the book and thats it, might as well sleep in the class, he doesnt mind.

He's nice, but he was the first and I hope the last kind of boring teachers that i would have. He's mister Powerpoint.I believe he wrote only three times in the board during the whole semester.His exams are very easy if you do the quizzes, he's helpfull

Prof. Huckins is a nice guy...Yes the class is boring ..but what can he do ? its mico, its book related...you cant just make stuff up...he does what he can and his tests are easy..and he is just a laid back guy...why not take him.

STUDY GUIDE!!! The tests are super easy and they come from the study guide. All except the essay question which is current events. Teaches from powerpoint and is pretty boring, but its worth it.

He is a quite boring professor.. but his exams are easier.. all you have to do is study from his quizzes and you will get an A.. only if you study his quizzes.. plus he gives extra credit question and plus 11 pt curve...take him only if you can study all the material...esay A...or A-

One of the most boring professors at Baruch. Reads slides WHICH AREN'T EVEN HIS for the ENTIRE semester. It is not likely that you will learn a thing in this class. Study only the workbook and the graphs and questions he mentions in class. VERY GENEROUS GRADER!

very easy class. He left practice tests in the library. there were like 2 tests and 1 project when I had this class in the summer.

These reviews do not give him justice. He's actually a pretty cool prof. He's a little boring sometimes but he does make jokes that are somewhat funny. Try to participate and stay after class to ask Q's as much as you can. You'll get an A if you really know the material. His exams are ridiculously long but he's not a tough grader.

All you can expect from his lecture is his readings of slides. not a single word from him is added. Exams are easy if you just read the book just a day before the tests.

he just read off everything from the slide. but RARELY he would add something useful to help u understand. i don't understand y i would end up B- when i read the book and do the study guide? something wrong with him, or me, or just that the exam is kinda too long??????? anyway, he is a nice guy if u ask him question. i m sure he would explain them

All the questions from the summer session that i was takin was from the multiple choice online, so all u gotta do is like memorize everythin, he is def one of the easiest professor out there, i mean like u dont really learn that much but who gives a ****, he reads off slides that you can read on ur own n interpret from the book faster, overall it w

He's really not that bad! Just study on your own and you'll get an A! like me =D He'll review your exam afterwards. Ppl that rate him low are just dumb thats all. He's not the best but you're not doomed if you take him. just read the book! overall he's still a nice guy just not very good at teaching. you'll get what you deserve in his class.

This guy gets a bad rap. You won't learn much from the PPTs he uses, and the book isn't that great. But if you pay attention to his real-world examples, you'll understand that his experience and knowledge go beyond the textbook (which is dry and boring itself). He's well-educated and a very reasonable man. You'll learn more from him than a textbook

Great Eco professor, knows his stuff. live examples. gives good curves and extra points for having full attenadance. Willing to help students, just ask him .

I have had him 3 times, and he became better every time. He does read off of powerpoint a bit in certain classes, intermediate level, but also engages the class in discussions of the topics. Also extremely helpful if you do not understand a topic: will go out of his way to help. Generous grader as well. Also very knowledgable on the topic.

Winter sess. He is not that bad considering how little he has to cover all that material, no wonder he flies through some slides. Most of those slides arent that useful,u have them in front of you anyway! His stories show real good experience and looking back (class was 1/2008) I dont remember the book much, but his real life examples were exelent.

He is not that bad. He knows his stuff, he's always willing to help. The test is hard but Eco 3200 is not an easy subject, you really need to put some effort in it. If you crewed up, don't worry, he gives a huge curve.

if you read the textbook, take your own notes, and do the practice problems he gives, its hard not to get an A. he gives around a 20 point curve on all the exams

It's a core course so I really didn't blame the professor for the lack of interest. Took him in winter and got it over with. 1 midterm, 1 final, 1 group project (which was completely unnecessary in my opinion). Anyway, allows cheat sheet to the exam and gives very clear hints as to what will be on the exam.

I initially hesitated to take this professor due to the comments posted on this site. But now that I don't understand the need for all the bad comments. There is 1 midterm , 1 final , and a group paper. The midterm was curved +20pts. Students leave the class early because it is 3.5 hrs long. I learned alot in 3 weeks. I would recommend this prof.

If you are a MBA student, you are expected to read a textbook and understand materials prior to an ctual class. If you do so, his lecture certainly helps you to learn a lot. He is helpfull if you are trying, but he is not if you are not trying. His exam is hard but he gives a big curve.

I took macro eco under Huckins. Under the constraints, the professor did an excellent job going through all the chapters. He presented a lot of case studies as well as gave examples from the credit crisis and Obamas plan. I found the class to be practical. 1 Final, 1 mid term and a project on the Solow model covered in 3wks..fair and a big curver.

I don't think people is fair to him. He's a very intelligent professor, he knows what he's teaching. If you actually listen you him, you will learn a lot. But, he might actually put you asleep....

Good review for the final exam, everything he said in the class was very important because he could summarize for you. I recommend you to take him.

Don't know about the basic courses but his Adv. Micro was great. All lectures were a straight preparation for the exams, including the news discussions. That is why voice recording his lectures may be helpful. Not a hard grader. Exams were only 60%. The rest was class participation & article reviews. If you make an effort, you get a good grade.

Great professor! He is a really nice guy and if you read the book and study the practice questions from the workbook you will do great.

So anyone who takes Huckins and complains must be a total slacker.He's a real nice and helpful guy and he gives you everything you need to do well.He even gives big curves and is a pretty easy grader. Just do your work and study what you're supposed to.He tells you everything that you need to know for tests.What more you ask for?Great professor!!

If you like to be spoon fed through the semester then this professor is not for you. If you are a college student then he is the best. He gives out mad curves for exams. All you have to do is read the text before class once and review the text before exams. Also the sample black board tests are great practice.

he is the best ECO Prof. very helpful.

He is great, take him. very kind and approachable outside the class.

I found his lectures very clear and interesting. He cares about our grades and encourages us to ask questions if we're confused. He posted the previous semester's exams as practice exams and went over them in class. Plus he weighted the exam with the higher score 60% and the lower score 40%. I recommend that u take him!

3.98 gpa who took profess twice: Huckins is INCREDIBLY smart, helpful, a genuinely good person who will be as accommodating as possible and is ALWAYS available and consistent. He can answer ANY question you have. If you want to be spoon fed- move along. But dont blame it on the professor and make false claims that he is unhelpful or incompetent.

Really surprised at negative comments, definitely all from poor students as everyone I know loved him. Professor tells u exactly what you need to know, never throws a curve ball, always avail and patient for questions/ office hours. Even though he does much more than the easy a professors, students who want to do nothing wil peg him as the bad guy

Prof. Huckins is a very considerate professor and very approachable if you have any questions. He surely reads from the slides and gives live examples. Exams are hard as he makes you think with real-life situations. Curve ball is high. He definitely is concerned about those who do not earn a passing grade in class. The course is hard too.

Took in the summer. No homework. Three exams. Just read the book and ask him to clarify questions you have. This class wasn't THAT difficult but it was EXTREMELY boring. Probably better to take during a regular semester because we just sped through the material and there were not many interesting side discussions.

I took him during the last spring semester. He reads ppt slides and the class is quite boring but he answered questions well and clearly with proper examples. Three exams are the only things you should card about. He doesn't check attendance. Exam questions were very similar with Homework problems and student guide book. Also he gives high curves.

A midterm and a final (70%), 4 written assignments (10%) and class participation (20%). Textbook and workbook are not required, borrow from the library if needed. Short answer questions for both exams. STUDY and MASTER the homework problems! and you will do fine on the test. Be sure to participate!

2 exams only, but hard, though he gives high curve on both of them. To pass exams do practice tests he gives and homework. Questions are very similar to exam questions. Homework questions are abt 30% of each exam, make sure you UNDERSTAND them, and you will do good. Study guide is the best way to prepare! Paid attention on lectures and got A

He is a very intelligent human being. He loves the subject matter even though it may not be apparent to everyone. To make the most of this class, ask him questions, participate, stay after class to talk to him about topics you want to know more about or you want to clarify. This class can teach you very valuable material if you are willing to learn

Read the textbook, make good notes (on textbook, not the PP slides), and do the practice problems he gives you, you'll pass. Ask him questions! He's very helpful and make sure to go to the class before each test , he goes over all the sample problems and explains them well. Lecture is boring, but attendance policy is pretty lax.

I failed his class, but it was my fault.. The professor is clear and direct. 70% Midterm and Final, 10% Assignments 20% Participation. Firstly, the class is very tough and the material is very heavy statistic and calculusmath based. Make sure to do HW problems, as the tests are based off them. MAKE SURE you mastered HW problems before taking test

By far the best Econs Professor at Baruch. Make sure that you are not only doing home works but you understand them. his exams are based on the home works.

I took him in the summer, 2 exams - 60% and 40%. 2 home works, not graded, but useful for the exams as he gives similar problems. Prepare to read the textbook. He was very helpful and explained the material after the class during his office hours. He curves. I would take him again.

look, idk why his rating is so BAD, but i took his summer class which is very intensive, we had one midterm one final, 60% n 40%, he grade u the better exam for 60% n less gd one for 40%. Nice person although he only read the ppt in class but the hw he gave us is actually in the exam, so do his hw n understand it! i got an A!

Only midterm and final. MC format. All MC questions are exactly from text bank. Easy A if you can memorize MC questions from text bank. Besides, he does CURVE. I got C- in midterm but got A in the final. Love this class.

1 Midterm & 1 Final. The homeworks are VERY important. Make sure you understand it completely. Its kind of a boring class. He curves very generously. Weights the higher grade more.

I just go there for attendance. Review some of the power points READ EVERY CHAPTER OF THE TEXTBOOK I got 70s on his exams but the curve is AMZING but I still receive B+. Studied my ass off for the final though and I think I aced it hence A but he counts his HW as well. He is really nice though and he cares just READ.

Prof Huckins gives awesome curves but his exams are difficult. I would study of Baruch's micro department practice exams and as wells as his practice exams. Study the terms and teach yourself all of the math concepts because he just goes over his slides does not show how to do a math micro problem. Homework is very important in this course.

Take this guy only if you are good at math, especially at Calculus 3, I ended up learning more math in his course than actual microeconomics. His explanation are ok, not the best but ok. I took him for both eco 3100 and eco 4100 like most do. If you are up to the challenge than than look no further this is your guy.

Taught myself the whole course and got a solid A. Class averages are very low.

I took him for winter. 1 midterm 1 final. 80% MC and 20% math which he gives exactly from homework. All MC is straight from test bank. Memorize the test bank, you will get A for sure. His lecture & slides will not help you in the test. Totally self taught class. Attendance doesnt count. I didnt attend his class & Ive got A.

HIs class isn"t exactly riveting or inspiring but as long as you do the homework and at least try in the exams he is a VERY generous grader.

Prof. Huckins is a great option during covid. There is NO in-person lecture (even on zoom) and is an easy A if you read the textbook, do his practice questions, do the required MindTap activities. Also, it is very helpful to email him and go to office hours so he knows you are an active participant in his class!

Easiest class. Period

As an online course this was really easy. He was a fast grader and always accessible the exams were all multiple choice and came straight from the test bank. The homework was really easy as well if you have chegg. Overall I would say that this is the easiest Econ class I have ever taken at Baruch. Also zoom attendance is not required.

Very happy with the class. Very knowledgeable and helpful professor. Always available outside the class to answer my questions and give me clear explanations. He pushed in the right direction. He prepared me well for the tests. I made sure to read the textbook and to work by myself. He was always here to explain if needed. Exams were fair.

His course is not for those people who just want a free A. No one can help you if you cannot self-study. If you want the prof to spoon-feed the material, you better drop the fking college. Midterm and final are easier than Econlab questions and the exams are fair not hard but not easy. but he does make huge curve based on the avg.

I will admit that lectures were very boring since it was him majority reading off slides. Lengthy mindtap homeworks as well. However, Huckins is probably my favorite professor OAT since he's a nice person and he curves insanely, to the point where if you manage to fail the class then economics should not be your course of study. Take him for 3100.

I have to say, our class has a 60 something average and he added 20 points to all our midterm. He's class is boring and tough, but I will not complain about the grading, just spend some time study before exam then you should be okay.

Very lecture heavy and difficult subject. The professor takes attendance, but half the class stopped coming anyways.The average scores for the tests were 50%, but there's a heavy curve - so a 60%, is a 95% after the curve. People give the professor slack because he's boring, but I think he has pretty funny dry humor. He's overall a good guy.
