Comment:
Dr. Huda is a very good teacher but if you don't read the book and study your notes you will fail. Dr. Huda will either give pop quizzes or tell you when the quizzes are depending on class participation. He like to say rude jokes(that can be funny) at students. He really is a caring person and his jokes are not serious and aren't meant to be.

Hated this class I always seemed to get sick when I went there . He talks way too much and his test are hard and once you fail a test and a quiz you basically failed the entire class. He's funny but some of his comments are rude. I wouldn't recommend taking his class .

Test based on notes. Have to listen to everything he says. Funny teacher. Takes history serious. Pop quizzes. No homework. I made a B. I advise if you take this class, record the lectures.

Dr. Huda really keeps you on your feet and can be very funny. But if history is not an important class for you or not your major/minor, DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!...its an epic fail! He is strictly lecture and u MUST be a good note taker. His test are strictly frm notes but you can read to get a bigger picture. Overall i woud not suggest to take him.

Dr. Huda is kicks! He is a very easy teacher. Take the notes...pass the class. Simple as that. Watch for the pop quizzes because that can be the grade killer. I do suggest you keep your own grades because he surely doesn't. Walk in with your eyes clothes and that final grade will open your eyes for real. Personality... funny funny character!

He was a great teacher. I enjoyed going to class. He made each class period interesting with stories that the students could relate to. His tests are based off of his lectures. I didn't read much, but got an A. If you are in class everyday and take good notes, there's no way not to make an A or B.

Great examples that will definitely keep you awake during class. He's full of energy every time he comes to class. Be prepared because he tends to pick on his students, and he uses the same jokes over and over.

Houda is great. I learned more in one semester of his class than all other history courses combined. He makes it interesting and easy.
