Prof Huggins knows his stuff..impressive and so smart! He is funny, down to earth and makes the class enjoyable. We watched films, videos, wrote a paper and the group projects were the best!He is very demanding but respectful and thoughtful to all students. If you want to learn French, I couldn't think of a better Prof. The best at CUNY!
I took 3 semesters of French (yes, 3) with Prof Huggins and it was an incredible journey. Actually, most of the class followed him to the upper levels. Warm, charming and makes learning so much fun. Watch out, he's very demanding, but worth it!
I took 3 semesters with Prof Huggins (yes 3!) at Hunter and it was an incredible journey. Actually, most of the class followed him from one level to the next. This guy is warm and so caring and makes time for his students. Watch out though! He's tough and demanding, so be prepared, but it will be worth it. The best 3 semesters of my CUNY career!
I took a French 101 course with Prof Huggins only because I heard good things about him. What a great prof who actually cares! Lazy students will complain. I learned so much in one semester and did really well in his course but I worked my butt off. I agree, he is VERY demanding and there's no easy A with this guy!
Mr Huggins is more than great,I learned so much that I don't know how to describe him.
Mr Huggins enabled students to hear and speak french in an acceptable manner.Huggins gave me courage, he encouraged me to beleive in my capacities to make my writing better which made fight for higher grade. He is more than great.
Very few professors' teaching skills have had an impact on me. Prof. Huggins' Fren 101/102 is an immersion class but as he taught, French became accessible. While the class mandated hours of studying, studying IS a necessity when learning any language. Classes where rich in french culture and history. Expect to walk away having learned something.
I cant even explain how much i learned from this one class. Studying is key. Once you study class would be a breeze. Learning French becomes easy when you start from the bottom and work you way up. You will walk away feeling like a pro French student. Mr. Huggins is the best.
I studied with Prof Huggins and wow, it was a lot of work. Quizzes, exams, orals, reading, listening exercises, films.. But this is a prof who cares and is patient with all students. Oh and his stories are so funny but always have a point culturally. The best French prof ever..by far.
Ok, so I looked at the comments posted and I couldn't agree more. One semester with Prof Huggins made a world of difference to me. He gave me so much confidence to learn the language. This prof is passionate about what he does and it shows. Oh and his French?..it's hard to believe he's American!Great course.
Prof. Huggins is a GREAT professor. Kind, helpful and most importantly he is fair. If you are willing to work and actually want to learn French, he's the guy that will bend over backwards just so you can learn a new language. The work is fair,and grading is also fair. I would MOST definitely take Huggins again! He's enthusiastic and it helps LOADS!
Professor Huggins is a great teacher. He encouraged all students to do well in class and at the same time challenged you to do great. He's also a professor on whom one can rely on to give good advice and support even after one has finished with the class.
He was a very proffessional proffesor. I wish he could be my full tme proffesor because he really is charismatic, inspiring and no matter he has such motivation that really motivates others to love the course we are taking...which was french. I liked when he would let us participate and make us verbally practice the language.I really admire him.
I met Professor Huggins during my first semester in college and I loved him since day one!I was excited to learn french and his passion, support and guideness help me sucessed. I was so inspired that i came back my second semester for more! He's tough but effective, The best professor i've met I highly recommend him! He loves his job and students
Professor Huggins rocks! Never thought learning a language could be so cool. He's very helpful and always takes the time to listen and help his students. Excellent professor.
I transferred into York and took a semester of French with Prof Huggins. I had dropped the course with another prof. I learned so much and still can't believe that did I so well, yeah you have to work hard and study. But I survived his course taught entirely in French and don't regret it! What a cool and caring professor.
I took French with Prof Huggins. I speak Spanish and wanted to learn a new language. It was a great class and never boring. If you don't want to study and work hard, then this is NOT the teacher for you. He is very patient and such a great guy. You have to do the work and study though. Excellent class.
Professor Huggins is the best professor that I ever had at Medgar Evers. I am horrible with languages but he put me right at ease from the get go. He was patient and supportive, he listened to any and all my concerns and addressed them. He worked us hard and the results was worth it. I initially took 101 with him and followed him to 102.
Prof. Huggins was great teacher. After taking my first French class at another school, I was discouraged to continue learning French. However, Professor Huggins made learning the French language a great experience. He challenges his students to do their best and helps them out every step of the way.
This professor makes learning exciting. He can talk about paint drying and make it interesting..so dynamic and cool.I worked hard, followed his instructions, and I did well. He doesn't questions ever left hanging and makes things simple. How does he know all this stuff?? He's also friendly, warm and cares. We need more professors like him.
One of the best, if not the best language professor at CUNY. He is patient and kind and goes out of the way to help the students and answer every question. I really enjoyed his class as much as it was a lot of work. But I never expected to learn so much about the language and culture in one semester I would take him again.
Excellent professor. May seem kinda intimidating at the beginning. But he is a gentleman, respectful and doesn't talk down to his students like some profs. Very fair grader. Films, youtube, videos, group projects, so class was never boring. Before you know it, yuh speakin' and understandin French. The class was sad when the semester ended.
I took 101 with Prof Huggins last semester. I didn't think I'd survive. He is patient and takes the time to explain and break things down and make them even more simple when anyone looks confused. My section was upset he wasn't teaching 102! We love him! Great class, great guy!
Prof Huggins has a reputation for being tough but great so I decided to register for his course. It was the BEST class I had ALL semester. Yup, a lot of work, but I don't regret it. I learned so much. He is da bomb!
Prof Huggins is cool. He rocks! He loves his job and is so easy to talk to. I enjoyed his course. I did'nt think I do well at the begining but I sweated and studied and did well. I recomend him to everyone.
I absolutely loved him! He was scary the first day, but he was so happy about the language that it rubbed off on everyone else. He can be really tough but means well, definitely has you speaking and loving French by the end of the semester. So upset that I don't have him for 102.
I studied French with Prof Huggins last semester and while he is tough and demanding, you couldn't find a more caring, respectful and understanding prof. His standards are high so you must be prepared for class and work hard. I too was upset he wasn't teaching 102!! We miss you!
This is not a prof for lazy students. If you're not prepared to work, give it up. He is excellent. I took 101 with him and most of the class followed him to 102. Again, great course. I spent an entire year studying with him, and it was well worth it! He is such a great guy and will work with you if you show a serious interest in learning. The best!
The best professor ever! I wish I could have him for all my classes. Those who are negative about him are just lazy students who don't like to do the work. People this is college; don't come to class pretending that you are in high school or just for a financial aid check. No easy passing with Prof Huggins. But at the end, worth it!
I took both 101 and 102 with Prof Huggins. He's charming, witty, respectful to students and very organized. He also prepares handouts to make things simpler and gives great review sheets for major exams. Class was never boring. A year well spent. I worked hard and learned so much from him. Just be prepared to work hard. Great prof in every way!
This semester was my first with Professor Huggins. He's a great professor. i admired the way he was always well organized. He made learning French easy. He thoroughly explained everything. It was a semester well spent. Great prof in every way & at times can be serious!
Professor Huggins was and is a great help for the student who actually want to learn. Very dedicated and passionate about what he does. I love the way he teaches, very clear with what he expect from each student, and I wish I could take him every semester .Huggins IS GREAT
Proff Huggins is awesome. His class is really interesting and he make the experience of learning french and the Parisian culture real interesting. i love him and his class.
Excellent professor!
Professor Huggins is an excellent professor, he is willing to help you always. He is a professor that actually cares about his students and their progress in the class. Great interactive class discussions
Prof Huggins is a great professor. he is very tough but its always worth it at the end. I only took him for 102 and it wasnt so easy but it gets better later on; this is because he helps you get better. Also always come to class prepared and work hard...trust me, it helps. you would be smilling by the end of the semester.
Prof Huggins is the bomb! He's got a PhD from Yale and extremely over-qualifed for basic French, but he has a real passion for teaching. One of the only courses I took in undergrad that balances so well the essential aspect of fun with the important bi-product of learning :) if you want to speak french, this is your man!
He is an outstanding professor considerably the best professor I've had at MedgarEversCollege thus far. Unlike some professors he actually cares about his students and pushes them to strive for greatness. I would recommend him to anyone.
I took French 101 and 102 with Professor Huggins, and while he may seem intimdating at first, there is a method to his madness. He is definitely qualified as a teacher and as a linguist and it was a pleasure to be taught by him...I learned a lot. He is EXTREMELY intelligent.
The best Professor ever! I had a wonderful time I learned to much about the French language and culture.
Prof Huggins is a wonderful Prof He will push you and bring the best out of you during the course because of his zero tolerance attitude but you will become an overall better student and person while studying with this Prof in definitely
An incredible prof in every way. Very helpful and attentive to his students. He clearly enjoys his job and takes it seriously. You won't regret taking a course with him though you'll have to work hard and be prepared for class.
I took both 101/102 with Prof Huggins. It was tough since the courses were entirely in French but I learned so much. He is incredible, caring and demanding. You see the results at the end. Class was always interesting and fun!Incredibly smart prof..just don't get on his wrong side with laziness or being unprepared for class. The best!!
A great professor in every sense of the word. And a remarkable human being. If it were not for his help while I struggled and cried sometimes this semester, I never would have made it through the course. He makes the impossible, possible with hard work. Thanks Prof Huggins!
Prof Huggins makes learning enjoyable. One of the few profs who lectures and teaches without notes. He is very organized and comes up with all sorts of references and examples to make things clearer. Super cool and smart.Also a warm and friendly guy. Excellent course but you must work since he has high standards. The best at CUNY!
Fabulous professor. Work hard and you won't regret it. Cool guy too.
This professor is awesome! This is the best french learning experience you can ever have.He is very attentive but you MUST do all assigned work.
Best French experience I've had. I am definitely looking forward to taking him for French 102.
I studied with him for a year in FR101/102. While he is demanding and tough, he is an EXCELLENT professor who loves teaching. I had a great year. You have to work and prepare for class. Otherwise stay home and chill in da hood.
My absolutely most favorite professor EVER. At first his method of immersion may seem intimidating but it is VERY VERY good. I am truly saddened that he won't be teaching 102 next semester as I was looking forward to having him as a professor in 102. Very attentive and thorough professor, A semester well spent.
I absolutely loved this course. When you didn't understand it was thoroughly explained. It was my favorite class thus far in college
Best french prof I ever had
Incredible professor. Best semester spent in college. Everyone should take him for French
Prof made the effort to have every student participate in class inorder to learn this new language. His method of teaching was very effective.
Prof Huggins is a treasure to CUNY. I had a blast learning French because he made the course interactive and enjoyable course. Wish he was teaching FR102!
Go to class, do the work, study and take his advice. He couldn't make things easier for students. Great prof and a wonderful semester learning French. But this is not a prof for lazy students; you have to work.
Prof Huggins is EXCELLENT and so was the course. Always interesting and fun. The best course I had this semester. A very inspiring prof who supports his studemts.
I mean, I really couldn't have asked for a better professor. I honestly don't think I would have done so well w/o him. Prof.Huggins is very clear on what you need to do in order to pass his course. No he is not easy, but if you do as instructed it will be a breeze. SUPER bummed I don't have him next semester but if needed we can email him. YAAY!!
A very caring and supporting professor. My favorite at CUNY! The class is taught entirely in French, but you learn to speak, read and write the language because of his immersion method. Very funny and warm guy but can be strict at times! Work and you won't regret it!
A truly excellent professor. He has high expectations but he wants you to fo well so he gives you the tools. Great review sheets for quizzes and exams, fun videos and movies, youtube and his stories are hysterical. I learned a lot in one semester
Such a great prof! Explains and makes class enjoyable.He is EXTREMELY intelligent. Work hard, attend classes and you won't regret it. The best French prof by far!
I will recommend him to anyone who need to take French. However, he took his time to went over all exam,that basically help me out when it come to exam and quiz.
A very patient and kind professor who enjoys his job and helping students. Course was fun and interesting, rich in culture and history. Excellent prof for the student who doesn't mind working hard.

Professor Huggins is great! Very helpful, makes the material easy to understand. Provides study guides!!! Study and you must Pass!
Professor Huggins will push you to learn and succeed in French. I definitely recommend this professor, because he teaches like no other. His teaching style is quite fun and entertaining. Heavily dense course, but he prepares you for the assignments and exams IN TIME. Not a class for the lazy and failure is not an option in his class!!!!

A great class with a wonderful professor. He enjoys teaching and being around students. But expect to fail if you don't go to class and do what's required. The best language prof around at MEC!
I took Spanish (101 & 102) with Prof Huggins at MEC and French with him as an elective. I couldn't have asked for a better prof in both languages. He's tough but very encouraging, and a nice guy! THE BEST!!!
A great prof and person. He does not cater to lazy students so beware!
Amazing professor. He cares about the students and wants them to do well. Show interest and do the work and you will pass. A very caring person.
