I had Professor Huehls for the History of Theory and Criticism (English 120) and I'll start by giving the grade breakdown of the class.

Attendance (10%)- (YES PEOPLE, you will get an automatic 10% of your grade given to you if you simply SHOW UP TO CLASS!! So don't be lazy).

Presentation (5%)- It's a very brief presentation and as long as you do it you'll get full credit. He makes that very clear to the class.

Paper (20%)

and 3 exams, the first two worth 20% of your grade and the last one, or the "final" is worth 25%.

And as for Professor Huehls... absolutely AMAZING. His lectures were all great and he has never failed to make the course material easy to understand. He takes really obscure, philosophical, dense pieces and explains them in ways that are easy to follow and comprehend. Not to mention he posts all his lectures online, which if you ask me is so generous and thoughtful.

I have to say, as amazing as his class is, it's still really difficult. BUT I think Professor Huehls makes it possible for every single person to get an A in the class... He's a pretty fair grader, fully explains what he's looking for on exams, and he literally posts the lectures online, so what else could you possibly ask for? The rest just depends on you as a student.. Don't be lazy, take advantage of the lecture podcasts, do the reading, and you will get an A.

Overall, I would recommend his class to anyone and everyone. It will teach you to think differently about literature and honestly if you're an English major, I think this class is absolutely crucial to your education in the field. TAKE THIS CLASS!

I had professor huehls this quarter, Fall 13 for two classes. English 174B and English 120. I agree completely with what everyone has said beforehand.

theory: he's amazing. it's awesome. do it. very fair.

fiction: his arguments are extremely convoluted and roundabout and just odd sometimes. but he's fair.

Overall: theory yes, fiction maybe. he's definitely not the worst in fiction. but he is the best for theory, i feel.

I'm graduating this year & I've NEVER written an evaluation before, but I love Professor Huehls so much that I had to. He is such a great professor! He's knowledgeable and teaches at a very fair pace. I took his History of Aesthetics during the summer and enjoyed every minute of lecture. I'm not going to lie, it's a lot of work. However, if you pay attention in class and take good, precise notes, you'll be fine. I think the main advice I have to give is know the concepts. He's definitely approachable and is so willing to help you. I think he's my favorite English professor at UCLA. His tests are definitely fair. I don't think I studied that much for his midterm or final and got an A in his class. I did, however, take intense notes in class.
