Wonderful teacher who is very unbiased. Also incredibly intelligent and is well versed with what is happening in the world and what could help foreighn countries. Has studied South Africa a lot. Much of the course is spent learning about the Fed.

Great teacher who cares very much about his students well being. You will work hard in this class, but you will also learn a lot. This class is an A+ in my book for those who are really considering a university education after the community college.

Simply the BEST. Like he said, you will learn more from him than some prof. in UW. I'm in UW now and I can testify. Do need to study! Seems like no one can out debate him! Superbly intelligent and funny. Has his own style! Simply DAMN GOOD!

Best Econ Teacher EVER. Hard, but if you want to learn, you will. Made me want to major in Economics. The world needs more teachers like him. Do not expect an easy A, but you will succeed if you go to class every day and do the readings. I think everyone should take his class.

One day, two young men began to speak at the same time. Hubert suggested that, in order to determine who would go first, they arm wrestle. Take this class!

He is teaching concept rather than ask you to calculate. Is good to have the basic concept.

Take this class from this guy. PLEASE. I loved listening to his lectures. Hard teacher but he is totally worth it. I love how he gets everything totally riled.

Teaches the philosophy behind ecomonics. This is something you don't get at UW, which is terribly unfortunate. I'm nearly completed with an undergradate econ degree, entirely inspired by hubert. I'm going to grad school. This man changed my life. Also a little bit too libertarian and oversimplifies some situations, but still gets the econ across.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. I had to study a lot, but the way he explained things made it all so clear. He taught me how much the world is truly ruled by economics.

Hubert is tenure and knows it so he doesn't take****. Do the work and you'll do fine. Argue with him if you disagree (he likes that), but know your stuff. Ask for extra quizzes - he will give them and it betters your odds.

I thought mr. huberts class was incredibly engaging however i was annoyed by the extent of his midterm and final! hubert explained his material thouroughly but expected his students to remember all the readings for the midterm and final! that sucked

BEST CLASS I HAVE TAKEN AT SCCC. One of the few exceptional professors at our school. Student?s who don?t like Hubert often fall under two categories: lazzy student?s who struggled with his class or insecure liberals who refused to consider other perspect

One of the best teacher that i have ever had, i did not know anything about economy before this teacher but if you are lazy or don't like reading it will be hard for you the bottom line is if you want to succeed in by the time you transfer take this class.

Great teacher, real contrast to the ultra liberal faculty at SCCC. Almost always available to chat about subject after class. A few finals and weekly tests on the reading assignments. Great prof.

good prof. very knowledgeable

Best experience of my SCCC career, easy.

Great professor, while I disagree on many grounds with him, he knows his stuff. Reading all of the assigned readings, chapters, and taking notes on them is absolutely required. He has a generally great sense of humor, and won't hesitate to subtly mock students who attempt to shade their ignorance.

Personally Hubert is the da bomb.com he wears these funny neck ties and just looks goofy, but don't get me wrong man knows what he's talkin bout

Hubes Rocks. He knows his stuff is just a cool guy all around.

I dont know what others where talking about except that Hubert does know his****. He is very smart but his views are VERY republican and bias. You have weekly 1 question quizzes that are so random. His Mid term and final were so detailed and the concepts hard to break down. Need prior knowlegde of Economics and I have****GPA of 3.8. Hard class.

Mr. Hubert is a top notch lecturer. He is very well prepared. He is however,very politically slanted to the far right. Super nice guy. Very accessible. Way too word specific on testing tho.... Overall- an excellent teacher but, you better pay attention!

Best teacher I've ever had. Taught economics like a philosophy course....a wonderful place to start with a hard topic with such wide spread implications. I subsequently majored in economics at my next school. Take this man's class, but don't slack off or you'll flunk. Don't be alarmed by his demeanor, it's the best you might ever see.

He's a great lecturer, but he takes too much pride in "instilling fear". He gives very short (1/2 to 2 minute) quizzes at least once per week, and most of them are from the articles he assigns. The midterm and final, however, were much easier in comparison -- I failed all but three quizzes, and I scored above the class average on both tests.

ALL SCCC STUDENTS TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!! Yes, Hubert is conservative, but unlike the radically left teachers that pervade SCCC, he will tell students that his views are just his opinion. The liberal faculty treat their opinions as fact! Hubert's integrity in this regard is only matched by his superb teaching style.

do all the stuff he ask, you will find his class is fun. He gave evidences and information for what he teach. Cool professors. You should take him. he gonna give you a different point of view.

HE WAS A REALLY GOOD TEACHER

i love this class. you would learn a lot. as long as you're used to his teaching strategy, you'll be fine.

Mr. Hubert is a fenominal teacher. He uses stellar examples and the economic theories he teaches you just sneak up out of the casual conversation he teaches his class with. he is a bit frightening at first, but in actuality he is an understanding guy who has made it his goal to help you become a better student through and through.

IF YOUR ARE NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN COLLEGE, TAKE A ECONOMICS CLASS.

Hubert is the best teacher at Seattle Central bar none! His teaching style takes some getting used to, but he is knowledeable and you will finish his class with a better grip on the way the world works. Some students dont like him because he is the first college professor they have had that isnt a biased hard core liberal. Take ECON 201!

Show up for every class and do the work on time and you'll get a good grade in this class. He's a jackass and incredibly opinionated, but I learned a lot from his class.

Puts some students off - those who don't take school seriously. He is perhaps "tough" but keeps all expectations clear. He encourages independent thinking and expects college-level work, which is what we're paying for, no? If you are failing, it's your fault. I had no knowledge of, nor interest in, economics before his course, it is now my passion.

Hubert is a very hard professor. You will need to do all of the work, come to class every day, and pay attention! If you do this, and are at least of average intelligence, you will get a decent grade. One other thing about Hubert: he's very conservative (so expect political bias); however, he is a great lecturer, has a nice sense of humor, and KNOWS HIS STUFF!

Seems like a great teacher, but the quizzes seem to be the main frustration with this class. He doesn't seem to be very organized - which also get frustrating. His bias is a little hard to look past, but then again, it's just another view point. He rips on sociology a lot. Most of the quizzes are dropped so even the stupidest person could pass.

Hands down the hardest teacher at Seattle Central. His quizzes are short, but killer in the gradebook. He's there for his students if you need his help tho.

Mr. Hubert's class is the BEST I have ever had. It really changed my way of thinking. A lot of things happening around make sense now. Like the previous comments, I am earning top grades in 300-level econ courses at the UW as well, thanks to the preparation from Mr. Hubert's class.

A very good class. It is only hard if you dont show up to class, don't take notes, and don't do the readings. Basically do what is assigned and listen to everything he says. Great class

I am taking his economics class right now. Like every teacher at SCCC, his course is somewhat political. That is a problem of the school. A little conservative. He encourages students to research in class facts he gives, to not believe him. Hard quizzes if you don't know the material thoroughly. Additional class material online, its really helpful.

Very opinionated (and so am I) and we disagreed on a range of socio-political issues. I actually agree with his stance on minimum wage laws etc now and I cultivated a new passion for Economics after taking his class. Lots of reading but fairly doable exams.Great Professor!

He is the best economic teacher in SCCC

Absoultely the best teacher at Seattle Central. I was tired of the strong liberal bias in every class, Hubert was VERY refreshing in that regard. It is definately hard work. I assume most people who rate him poorly are lazy or have no tolerance for views other than their own.

Best professor at SCCC, hands down. Will help you to understand how the world really operates by thinking for yourself. Plus his bowties are just awesome. Difficult class if you're lazy. Just do the work and you will be fine.

He is a very knowlegable instructor. Follow instruction, do the work, question conventional wisdom will guarantee a good grade. I don't forget to email him of what you did for the homeworks and the your test scores.

Mr. Hubert is by far one of the greatest professors at SCCC. He teaches students how to think for themselves. His class should not be difficult if you have a pretty good understanding of the English language. Show up to class, read the assigned articles, study for the exams and ask questions. If your lazy, and don't like a challenge, don't bother.

VERY knowledgeable, kind of an old fashioned teacher with strict rules/expectations. Hard class (he suggests you drop everything else in life) but you will come out a lot better for it.

Best teacher at SCCC, like previous commentors, I went on to the UW and excelled in a number of varied economics courses. The comments from the let's-all-hug-and-sing-Kumbaya-while-distributing-the-wealth crowd are understandable. There's a difference between how the world should work and how it actually works. Hubert teaches the latter, take him!

He is a really good teacher. If you want to study Economics for fun, don't take him. But If you think of Economics seriously and want to understand it, he is the only one that can explain. Economics is very hard itself, not many teacher can make you understand. Test bases on the question he gave you in the text book for homework.

I took his class for both Micro and Macro. His teaching is so through that when I come back to Western University to finish my degree 6 years later, my economic knowledge still as sharp like a razor thanks to his rigorous economic drills. Beware of his conservative view regarding on economic, not all public policies mean dead weight losses.

Great teacher. Holds students accountable and demands that you participate and engage in the class. If you do the readings and take decent notes during lecture, you should do well. Comes off as strict and mean, but is very approachable and cares very much about the subject.

This class is very interesting, with thought-provoking material, however it is presented in a pompous way. The work level is a little ridiculous, but you learn a lot and I do recommend it for anyone, especially those going into either business or politics. Tough class but good experience.

though his views go against many of his colleagues at the school, and certainly the students; he sticks to them. Great teacher that isn't willing to let too much slide even though it is a community college

Prof. Hubert is very interesting teacher. Hubert does not bend to public opinion. You are able to speak your mind and you will hear his opinion. You must go to class if you want a good grade. You must put in the work. If you do this you will get a lot out of the class i highly recommend this survey course and I plan on taking his other econ class

Hubert is a very opinionated person. I took his Macroeconomics course and learned tons of information. His weekly quizzes were a nice way to keep on his students and make sure they're learning the material. He's a good teacher, but do not take this class if you're looking for an easy a or b.

Fantastic teacher. Really happy I had him early on, helped set me up for my entire school experience. He sounds very hard, but as long as you stick out the class and study for the midterm and final there is no reason you shouldnt at least get a 3.0. Also remember he does grade on a curve and the average is a 3.0

One of the best teachers I've ever had. Pay attention in class, read the textbook, take decent notes and you'll do fine. I read the readings right before class and did great on quizzes. Really great class, I highly recommend him and this course I learned so much.

I took one class online, one in person. An excellent teacher. I am currently an econ major and still using things I learned in his class in my 400 level classes. It is a lot of work and he drills his sayings into you. Although he is grating, he provides excellent building blocks for pursuing an economics degree. The key to his class is margins.

Awesome teacher. I was never into Economics, but after I took this class I see how you can see the world from a different viewpoint. I took his class fall quarter 2013 and got a 3.7, even after I literally failed the midterm. I guess he curved the grade.

took this class for my graduation quarter in seattle central. don't believe the "this class is too hard" words going around campus. this is how a college class is supposed to be, one of the best class experience i've had in my 2 years of college, will push you to the limit, all in all a life changing experience

very clear, he will always help as long as you ASK.

While I disagreed with most of what he had to say, I enjoyed taking Hubert's class for the most part. The subject matter is challenging, and he knows it - as long as you show up, you can't get lower than a 3.0. While some of the tests have questions which are nearly impossible, he's fairly reasonable. Got D's on the midterm and final and got a 3.6

Hubert seems to be a wise, intelligent and fair professor. I'm not an econbusiness major but took his Intro to Econ class for credits + was curious about basic economic concepts. Learned a lot and ended up taking microeconomics as well. The lectures aren't hard to follow - lots of examples, logical arguments, critical thinking.

Prof. Hubert vigorously defends common sense and choice in every detail, encouraging challenges to his libertarian-leaning conservative beliefs. Unlike the "tolerant" left-wing staff on campus, Hubert allows you to speak and will logically retort. Want to know how the world works? Take Econ at SCC. Otherwise, stick to the hugs-and-rainbows classes.

I straight up failed both the mid-term and the final and managed to get a 3.4 in the class. Went to nearly every class and did all the papers that were due every Thursday. Has quizzes every Friday where he only gives you 30 seconds to answer. Kinda an intense dude.

Mr. Hubert is a beast. The best econ prof ever. He will make you pay your mistakes, but that is your fault, it is not societies fault as he says. He expects you to fulfill his legitimate expectations which is the definition of justice anyway. Take his class to learn how the world works. This is the real thing, not a Hugh-and-rainbows class.

After taking this class, I would suggest it only for students who want to study, but not to get the grade. The real requirement for this course is to be truly open minded and objective. if you want to learn econ, this course is for you. if you need just an easy grade, don't even think about taking it. to get the good grade is not hard as it seems.

Best teacher ever in college! Strongly recommended Prof. Hubert. You will learn something that is not in the textbook (well, you can read the textbook, right?)

Professor Hubert is the best teacher in the world. He is always there to answer every single question, not just about Economics but also History, Psychology, and other things. Your critical thinking skills and knowledge of Economics and Finance will level up.

He is the best teacher I have ever had in my entire life! He teaches you how the world works and he actually makes you think! Totally worth going to every other class (even though it was at 8am). he doesn't have specific grading criteria, if you do well on the final, your midterm doesn't matter!

Be cautious. I strongly advise against doing online Econ. I took him in person and his grading can be confusing. I failed both the midterm and the final, but turned in all assignments and got a 3.5. Show up every friday. After 5 quiz passes, they carry over as extra credit. Saved my grade. A favorite/notorious teacher at SCC, approach carefully.

Oh how I love economics!! I suggest that you take this class.

I took Hubert in 2002. He is one of the top three teachers I've ever had.
