Cold Calls. All in all glad I took class. |  | | 07/29/2011 | 7577 - Trademark Law | | 4.5 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | Yes | One of the best professor's at the school. He's fair with the exam and he keeps class interesting. | | | 10/29/2010 | 7577 - Trademark Law | | 5.0 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | Yes | he is the best. | | | 01/20/2009 | 7577 - Trademark Law |  | 3.5 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 5 | Yes | Always come prepared for class unless you have a note. If called on, make sure to say something, otherwise he might blow up and storm out of the class. He doesn't let students use internet, but he keeps you entertained and engaged. | | | 05/11/2007 | 7577 - Trademark Law | | 4.5 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | Yes | Professor Hughes can come off as arrogant, but with that disclaimer, he's one of the best professors I've ever had. He has a knack for explaining the material clearly, is patient with questios, and don't try to rush the class.
He also wants students to show up to class. So, though he wants you to do the reading, if you're not prepared, you can send him an email and he won't call on you. But if you don't, and he does call on you, you're in lots of trouble. Not only will he ream you out, but he might skip over that section and say that the material will be on the final. Its part of his making sure the class is prepared, that there's good discussion, and participation. And it works.
Trademark was great, had a wonderful time. The final, a 24 hour take home, was very fair. The word limit is low (1,500-2,000), so you really have to work at getting your arguments down concisely.
Definitely take him.

Plus, he really wants to help people, and wants students to understand copyright law. | | | 12/11/2006 | 7572 - Copyright Law | | 4.0 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | Yes | Really informative course. Does a good job of explaining stuff, just be prepared if he calls on you!

[ 1/1 people found this rating helpful. ] | | | 09/19/2006 | 7572 - Copyright Law | | 4.2 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 5 | Yes | Hughes definitely knows his stuff, the man has copyright cold. He always calls on people, and might stick with you evne if you don't You can send him an email before class and he'll skip over you, of course, since you don't know when you're getting called on, its a bit of a risk.
