It seems very easy to get good grades in his class, because he does not care about details. He just wants to make sure that you understand the material. You also don't have to take the final exam if you do well in the two midterm exams. That's cool!

Shubert was awsome. I recomend him to all my friends. He wants everyone to do well, and is very knowledgable on the subject. Not a very difficult class in general, and as long as you do the homework, and pay attension, you should have no problem.

Take him. He's so cool!

He is one of the best teachers I've had. FUn class; we got to see movies :) Easy to understand and really wants students to do well.

the schube is the best, hands down. He is extremely popular and it is nearly impossible to add his classes, but if you talk to him beforehand (i.e. meet with him in his office), he is incredibly lenient.

Good teacher. Funny and understanding. Willing to help students during office hours. I recommend to everyone this guy. Is not that easy but you won't fall asleep in class.

This guy is hiliarious..makes all the politics sound sooo interesting! And he is very easy on grading too!

schubert was an okay teacher. he wasn't all that. if you do well on your first 3 exams you don't have to take the final! there are about 25 questions you have to turned before the semester ends and that brings your grade up a lot. it's worth 25%. the earlier you turned them in the better grade you'll get. that's all!

Although I didn't do as well as I wish I would have in his class. I really did learn a great deal. His class gave my a whole new prespective on politcs as a whole. He's a great professor; funny, smart, and he can relate to both the younger and older generations . I plan on taking more of his course, but this time around I plan on doing much better!

I've taken Schubert for Poli Sci 1, 3, and 12. You know if I've gone back 3 times he's incredible. He's easy, he's funny, he does classic impersonations, and he has a real passion for the subject. He makes it easy for everyone, he doesn't grade the answer, it's subjective, and he always has time for students in and outside of class! GREAT teacher!

Very passion about his job. Easy A.

One of my favorite profs ever. He makes politics interesting, and you want to learn more. Def has a sense of humor:) He feels more like a friend, and he's a great teacher. He gets along with everybody. He's not gonna make you speak up, but thru written questions you can still express yourself. Or you can also have great discussions in/out of class

Dr. Schubert is a kick-ass teacher. you will learn a lot and have a fun time doing so. tests and essays aren't difficult if you go to class. schubert rules. great teacher, funny, and a very cool dude.

Dr. Shubert is a Awesome teacher!! Before I had his class I had no interest in Politics, but after his class I learned alot. He makes the class very entertaining. It is easy to get a A in his class. Highly recommended.

He is passionate and knowledgable about the subject, funny and respectable with students. He keeps you up-to-date with what's going on in politics and answers any questions without making anyone feel embarassed. He is very straighforward and not trying to trick the students. His class is easy if you keep up with the material. Mr. Schubert is hot!!

He is super funny. Teach really well. Test aren't that bad

hella funny, nice guy

awesome teacher...its gr8 to learn both sides of the story when it comes to politics...hes an awesome teacher!

No Comments

Great professor...always gives interesting lectures, and does a good job of being objective about politics.

thought he was a great teacher, i just wasnt into the class topic. then again you have to learn the other sides position to argue yours more affectively. hes actually really passionate and knows his stuff. i will take any other class he teaches. if you are into the environment take this class!!!!

This guy is awsome. If you need to take POLS 1 take it with him. I am sure he must be good teaching whatever. He has a great personality, wonderful teaching style, and good sense of humor.

The BEST POLITICAL SCIENCE TEACHER HERE AT CCSF AND YOU DO LEARN WITH HIM AND VERY FUN TOO YOU ENJOY HIS CLASS

great teacher! pay attention to lectures in class and take notes. that's wut the test is on! also, never read the books and still got an A! talks alot of political science and mr. bush; but those talks are related to the test... so pay attention! funny guy! recommended!

He's a great teacher! He doesn't expect students to know anything from the start because he thinks it's not fair. he tells you exactly what's going to be on the test. He uses good and clear examples as he's explaining something new. He can be very sarcastic and funny. He knows his stuff very well. Definately recommend him!!!!!!!!!!!

I studied Government and Political Economy at both The University of Virginia and Princeton before deciding D.C. was not for me and moving out west. I took the class for fun thinking it would be fun to listen to a CA political science professor. But this guy was great, he teaches the course with a political theory foundation, which is unusual and great. You will really learn alot in this course. He's passionate and loves to discuss after class. One of my favorite Professors EVER.

Awesome Teacher. Not Bias at all. Very smart...a lot of political jokes. If you don't know politics, you may not get it. But tests are relatively easy. No HW. unless you count reading, but he teaches soo well you don't need to read. But still read it for your own good! Anyways. You'll definately have fun in his class...ENJOY!

Funny! Smart! Interested in dialogue with the students! Wants you to get a good grade and tells you exactly how to do it! Obviously insane about American politics. BIG GEEK! I once visited him during office hours and we had a conversation about Buffy! If he wasn't married, I'd ask him to go to dinner with me.

amazing teacher. highly recomended. I wish he could teach all my classes!!

Smart funny cool guy. Wants you to do well in the class, tells you whats on the exams. 3 exams (75% of grade) and 1 question a day (worth 25% of your grade). I would have gotten an A if I turned in more questions. It made the difference b/w a letter grade. I got a B and didn't read much of the text, but the books he ordered are very interesting.

Great teacher! Funny, entertaining, excellent example of what a college professor should be. Lots of reading for this class, but if you keep up and grasp general concepts you will do well. Not looking for finite critical understanding of theories, you must understand general concepts and be able to compare and contrast theories. excellent class.

He is very nice teacher, and his teaching is very good.

I had Lou for two classes so far and plan to take every political science he teaches for the rest of the time I am here.

I took this professor in summer school. Knows his politics. Fun class. Tests were based on class notes. One written question per class. 3 Tests. We watched 2 movies in the library. Great Guy, Fun Class!!!

Great Teacher, engages his students and addresses what they're curious about. Wants students to be able to think for themselves and know what political terms/ideologies actually mean, without any biased spin. Doesn't just hit you over the head, with the typical Bay Area liberal/leftist party line. Very refreshing, brought back my hope in SF.

very funny teacher as long as u turned in ur 25 Qs and at least read a lil for the finals u'll be fine ! very easy very entertaining

He is the best teacher I have had the pleasure to learn from in all 3 semesters of City College. His lectures are interesting and he makes an effort to make all of what could otherwise be tedious learning material relevant to the students. A fun class with minimal work. Pay attention to lectures and do the 25 questions.

The hard wasn't very easy, but very fun. Learned a lot of content.

He tries 2 find humor in everything, which @ first is entertaining but gets corny/boring after a couple of wks. Still, it'll wake u up sumtimes when u may b falling asleep b/c the material can get boring @ times. It wasn't anywhere near as difficult or boring as I thought Am Gov would b though. He helps everyone pass n u learn a lot. Recommended.

really funny guy. keeps me awake in city college. haven't been boring yet since it's only my first couple days this semester.

This guy is the best. I love his sense of humor and personality, it just makes everything so much better. His POLS 12 class was fun and extremely intertesting. And not that this is relevant at all or that it matters, but he is a very very cute man!

On the 1st day of class he said he would not make everyone participate b/c it might not be appropriate for ppl from certain cultures, and he wouldn't mind bad grammar as long as he can understand what you want to say. That's a great example of how much he repects his students. He's very witty, uses great examples, and organized.

I can't believe the enthusiasm people have for this guy. Smart? Sure. Funny? More like annoying. Good content? If you like status quo, then he is the prof. for you. And I'm serious about that. Conservative man with conservative views. Actually is the advisor for the college Republicans.

Schubert was great! He keeps u interested with jokes & stories that actually hve 2 do with the subject. Easy class 2 pass, jst submit questions everyday=attendance. U don't need the books(most important text is Irony of Democracy), study with class notes & you'll be fine. I had 2 withdraw coz of my full sched but I would retake his class again.

I enjoy his class. He likes his students to participate. He is well-versed on the subject matter and creates a fun atmosphere. I highly recommend him, but in order to get 100, almost, free points you have to show up and turn in questions...easy! He makes issues humerous, at times, which humanizes him and induces laughter:)

exams r mostly based on the lectures, which r easy to follow & clear. 2 exams & an optional final. mutilpe choice, short, medium questions and a take home essay (not hard) on each exam. turn in 25 ?. I'm an esl student and still got an A without taking the final. TAKE GOOD NOTES & STUDY THEM FOR EXAMS! He makes pols interesting and easy to digest.

Easy & fun class mostly. Interesting topics, clear lectures, good review, straight forward tests & fair grading. Crowded classes. Good for learning some of the fundamentals but little chance for in depth discussion. Schubert keeps it light w/ humor which I appreciated most of the time.

Mix fun and politics? Lou does it. Great teacher. Want an A? Come to class, turn in 25, take notes, spit them out on the test. He basically gives you the test in class, just write it down and study it. Very available. VERY respectful of other ethnicities and cultures. Very accommodating to unusual circumstances. Kinda cute, in a geeky way.

Can't go wrong choosing him, he is excellent no matter what class you take from him :]

I took him 4 two consecutive semesters-I truly enjoyed being a part of his class-a wonderful professor with an abosolute knowledge of P.S. He opens himself up to his students-I enjoyed sitting and chatting with him. The knowledge that you take with you from his class will last a lifetime--my favorite professor at CCSF--very respectful-2 thumbs up

Super easy class. textbooks are useless, so don't buy.

you dont really need the textbook but it is interesting to read. everything he puts on the board is what will be on the tests he gives. and he doesnt put much on the board. there are at least two 3 page essays that will be due & thas bout as hard as it gets. even though this was not really a hard class i still learned a lot about politics from it.

Very good professor, extremely funny, and understandable.

Dr. Schubert is very willing to help and accommodating to unusual situations. There are 3 exams, each consisting of MC, short questions, medium questions and one essay question. 1 question must be submitted within the first 5 minutes of each class as proof of attendance and then he'll answer them.

Extensive book list gives the illusion of a difficult theory class but I found it not much more taxing than any other class. Very lively, standard polsci class with 2 midterms, a final, and 25 questions due at attendance.

He is an awesome professor!!! His lectures are enjoyable. His tests are fairly difficult and simple.

Mr. Schubert is a passionate teacher and knows what he's talking about 4 sure no questions asked. His lectures are very interesting and understandable. There's alot of notes to be taken because his tests are on class notes and very little from his books. Either way books are boring. He requires one written question everyday.

Funny as hell. His lectures are entertaining and that's what held my interest in politics even today. He conveys humor in politics and supports his comments with views from both sides. After taking his class, i realize the wide applicability and excitement for politics and government. Take organized notes and review them weekly for an A, not B.

He's a great funny teacher! you have to turn in a question everyday for your attendance and this is 25% of your grade for the semester already! Have a lot of reading to do and watch a few movies during the semester. Overall, he's a great pol. science teacher and just do well on your test and take good notes!

This man know what he's talking about. I'm so thankful to have a political science teacher who doesn't just bash the Bush administration on a whim. He is sincere about you learning the material, and is pop culture savvy. My kind of teacher.

This is an awesome teacher! I had no interest in polysci before taking him and I loved his course. He's a very charismatic professor. I love the grading system too, 75% test, 25% are 25 questions you bring in, 1 per day about politics. It's based on how much you learn instead of how much busy work you put in.

Three essays one semester.don't take him if you're still an esl student,or if you're not strenthen in writting critically essays,you'll regret it.do not use any outside sourses neither a sentense nor compound nouns,e.g "C.L"(he will consider you copy other person's work)and he will kick you out of the class.

He is the BEST professor I have ever had!! He is clear and his lectures contain tons of info! --he truly cares about his students and their success, he is always available during office hours. Had no interest in Politics before his class--now I love it. You'll leave his class with info you'll use the rest of your life. TAKE HIM!You won't regret it!

Lou is an excellent teacher. He seems engaged and passionate about teaching. I've had really bad teachers who've taught this subject so I was skeptical at first-but what a surprise. I wish all my teachers were this good...will miss poly sci.

Great teacher, highly motivated about the subject. Dr. Schubert is a gem. He truly loves political science and draws you into the subject. I took the class for the gen ed requirement, but thoroughly enjoyed it! Would highly recommend him for anyone. He can also pronounce anyone's name! If you come to class and take good notes, you can get an A!

I did like Lou, but found him a little too conservative for my liking. Since you have to take this class, I'd say he's a good choice. Easy class if you work and read what you're supposed to. Just take the bias with a grain of salt.

This is the most devoted teacher that i have ever seen and taken in my life. He makes the class unbelievable interesting and fun. He has a great sense of humor, his lectures are fabulous, he is very clear with everything...list is endless. Take him and you would not regret a min of your time spending in the class.

This professor is fun. Fun, fun, more fun. And somehow, he manages to explain all the material in between, he is very clear and will never ask something he didn't mention in class. However, you have to read the books and ask him questions each class (he collects written question each lecture and count them as attendance). You will enjoy this class.

THIS GUY IS THE BEST!!!! He is so smart and teaches the material in a fun way. All you gotta do is be in class and listen - he makes everything so clear and easy to understand. My only regret was taking this class in the summer - I would not mind listen to this guy for 5 months instead of only 7 weeks. I wish all teachers were like him....

Professor Schubert has a passion for the topic of terrorism, and it shows. He is one of the best Political science professors around

His class is really easy. If you don't want to read the book, just pay attention, and you could have have B. In class, he will convince you not to study past test. "But, you should, they are helpful to get Ace- through my friends experience".

You'll be wishing you could take more of his classes. A no BS teacher, he is straight to the point and extremely clear on the subjects. Funny and very respectful of students opinion. BTW, take this teacher if your tired of hearing the Liberal spin were all forced to listen to at CCSF. He's got a supreme understanding of the real world.

This guy is very fair. He's a man of common sense and I highly recommend him. He's also very entertaining when he teaches, but lots of reading. He's an awesome professor so take his class before his class is full.

one of the best professors i've ever had. crystal clear and to the point. super approachable and really easy going. you'll learn a lot if you have no interest in politics going in and by no means does he make it intimidating. *also teaches a comics class! and plays guitar!

He is a great teacher, the class is very interesting and his teaching style is entertaining. He is extremely informed and I definately respect the man. I did all the reading, which was enormous, and the tests are mostly fill in and extremely challenging but with a lot of effort I was able to get the A that I wanted.

HE IS GREAT! you do have alot of reading which only plays a small part on the tests, but most of the test material comes from class notes. If you are not good at showing up to class dont take him. having good notes is the key to succeeding in his class

Great tacher!!! Makes Poli Science seem funny and the time goes by faster. Tests were mostly on lectures, but if he thinks the class isnt reading he'll add textbook questions. I didn't have to take the final because he dropped the lowest grade. Highly suggest him!

Mr. Schubert was a good teacher. He was rather easy because there were only 2 exams with a final which you do not have to take if you feel your first 2 exams are good. You have to write a question about politics each class meeting which also counts toward your grade. Take Mr. Schubert, you'll enjoy taking him.

He is just amazing!! He knows what the hell he's talkin abt unlike many instructors. He asks you to hand in questions at the beginning of each class and he goes through each of them (25 Qs req. out of aroudn 50 classes). Make sure you take good notes coz exams are based on notes. A lot of reading but not really helpful for exams.HE'S GOOD TAKE HIM.

He is great teacher. Teaching style is good and the grading is really good and easy to get 'A'. The point is go to his class every session and spend a little time to review. You'll be fine to get 'A'.

Schubert is a great teacher. His lectures are informative, his teaching style is pretty straightforward and he loves political science. Don't underestimate his written questions and turn them in on time - they count as an exam! Just turn questions and take good notes. You'll be fine to get an A.

Schubert is pretty über-cool...relaxed approach to teaching but does a good job in getting students to think...take him.

Mr. Shubert is fun informative and keeps quizes based on his clear lectures. He is very flexible and keeps the learning expierience fun. this is a good summer session class. I walked away with an A because I was able to take good notes from his clear lectures. He's like a marble comic super hero but in real life.

Gotta love Mr. Schubert's sideburns! He is a very knowledgeable Political Science professor. If you do well on your exams, you don't need to take the final. The final only helps you. Just remember to do all the questions for each class and get it over with. I thought his class was pretty easy, even without reading the textbooks that were required.

Very interesting points of view that he presents to the class. Althought a little disorganized, this teacher is very clear on what he expects of his students. He demands a lot of reading, but everything he assigns is purposely fun and interesting. Fun teacher. Highly recommended!

One of the best teachers I've ever had. I've never been one for attending class, but i honestly only missed one of his. It was really easy to pay attention, he keeps it interesting. one type, he NEVER puts questions from the book on the test, its all from notes. I never opened the book and I got 100% on the final... seriously, 100%. TAKE HIM!!

Just stop resisting and take him already. I honestly think that his class is an important experience for all college students. You won't regret it.

Took for ethnic politics. Great professor, great lecturer. Makes material engaging fascinating and easy to digest. Great attendance policy, thank you for treating me like an adult college student.

Professor Schubert is definitely a must take. He is not only knowledgeable, but also very helpful to his students. He can also advise you in subjects beyond the course subject while still making each class meeting fun. Although, you must do your readings because he does use the textbook material thoroughly.

Omg he has to be the best teacher at ccsf. He is so intelligent and he has full respect from everyone in class. He runs his class great and it's entertaining. One hour goes by so fast. You need to keep up though there is a lot reading, and it's hard. but he anwsers questions! TAKE HIM!

i love this instructor! takes notes well because his exams are based on his lectures. there's a lot of reading, 3 textbooks and newspapers required. turn in your questions every time because it's an easy grade! his class is pretty easy, i ended up with an A and i'm not really good with gov stuff and i even forget what i read from the reading!

He is the best.

awesome!

Schubert is intelligent, but he is way too pro-American for me. Seriously. And he makes the class play a stupid war/resource game which of course brings out the worse in people. Hopefully, he tones it down in time.

Enrolls more students than he can just so he can get students to subscribe to the WSJ. Seems as though he has a vested interest in many subscribers. More subscribers, more money. Two, he yells at one student for cell phoning ringing in class, indicating that that just wasted two minutes of lecture. Later on in the semester, he cancels many classes.

Extremely intelligent. Clear in his lectures and what you need to know on his tests. Attendance is a large part of your grade. If you have little interest in politics, he will inspire you to become interested through his humorous lectures.

Schubert is awesome! I thought I would fail this class, but I did not. This is his first year of teaching POLS 5, so the format does not follow the syllabus! Textbook is boring. But I could say he is very interesting, funny, and energetic. I can tell his enthusiasm in POLS. He is very smart! I highly recommend him!

Took Ethnic Politics- HIGHLY recommend it. Very dynamic lecturer, relevant readings. He warned that he wouldn't keep up with the syllabus, that was true. Grade based on 2 tests and 2 papers, but the papers were fun to write. Answers questions thoughtfully in class, treated class like college students. Probably best class I've taken at CCSF.

It does not get any better than Dr. Schubert! TAKE HIS CLASS!

Love, love, love Pr Schubert!!!! Interesting lectures, great class discussions! The most thought-provoking, motivating and useful class I have ever had. Midterm and Final are multiplechoice + essay. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!!!!!!!

Professor Schubert is an excellent professor because he is kind, patient, encouraging, and knowledgeable. He really wants to help his students. He spends his time and tries his best to help his students.

Believe me, take his class especially if your major is Poli-Sci. He knows everything!! His class is not super easy easy but I LOVED his class :)and you will learn a lot. I am@SFSU right now but I miss his lecure!

He is DA bomb! I liked him for Theory way more than I did for IR but that may have to do with the class (IR class sucked)and I didn't care much for the coursework. but in Theory everything is awesome. Take him!

Ughhh! He must be tired of hearing the same thing... he is THE BEST! He is so nice and smart. Dr. Schubert is not only an amazing teacher but an amazing person. I will miss his classes when I transfer. CCSF is lucky to have him as a faculty member. He is just the BEST ! Thank you Dr. Schubert :)

Pretty chill professor who makes class very entertaining. The material is actually interesting when he teaches it. You can tell he really wants to help you in the class. Very willing to answer questions and wouldn't mind staying after class a little. You have to read in this class because some questions on his exams tests if you read!

Believe the hype! This instructor is AWSOME! Took him this summer and his teaching method is informative and fun! I would like to take him again for another course. I highly recommend him.

Smart, funny professor. One of the best I've had at CCSF. Grade based on tests and attendance. Go to class, take good notes and it's not too difficult to get an A. The lecture style and class in general is laid back and doesn't always follow the syllabus exactly, which was ok for me but might a problem for some people.

I only wish I had taken Dr. Schubert's pols 1 class. He is the most organized Prof. I have had. Funny to boot! He knows what he is talking about and is humble if he doesn't... although, doc not knowing is rare! Down to earth and respectful to students. This class is UC transferable. If you question why the US is in the Middle East, take this class

I ended up in Dr. Schuberts Terrorism class as a second choice after (once again) not being able to get into the Gangs & Organized Crime class... I am glad it happened though, because Dr. Schubert is awesome and I enjoyed this class very much. Being an OIF Veteran myself, I found the material very interesting! I only wish I'd taken him for POLS 1.

This instructor is GREAT! Took him this summer and his teaching method is informative and fun! I would like to take him again for another course. I highly recommend him

I had the pleasure of taking Schubert for POLS 1. His lectures are always interesting, and easy to keep up with. He uses relatable, everyday examples to clarify points that may be murky. Attendance is mandatory in the sense that you have to turn in a daily question, that counts toward your grade. I didn't use the textbook at all, and did well.

Whether you are a political science major or not and you want to get a better understanding in politics, this is the class you would want to take. One of the items Schubert ask for when I took his class would be the 25 questions for the entire semester. One of the easiest ways to pick up easy points here.

Probably one of the best teachers at City College. He makes politics interesting and fun. Not a lot of work, but the books are mandatory. Do the daily questions, they will help your grade a lot.

Pol. S. 3 is not an easy class. If you need an A and it is not your major don't take it. Even if you work really hard you still might end up with a B like I did. If you have to take it, study for first exam as much as you can. It is very difficult compare to 2 other exams, and it will probably determine your grade at the end.

Dr. Schubert is such a great teacher! Show up to class, do your reading, ask questions, and study to do well in his courses. He has a great sense of humor and the gift of teaching. I would highly recommend this class and would take a class from Dr. Schubert again.

Mr. Schubert was a great teacher.I can say that he is one of the most interesting teacher I ever had in CCSF. His lectures are very entertaining. Has strict policy with using cellphones etc. He does give out assigned reading for homework but nothing more than a few pages. Attending 90% of class lecture and listen to his lecture. Got an A for grade!

Dr. Schubert's class is great. I dropped 3 other POLS1 classes bc the professors obviously only wanted you to learn their parties ideas. Dr. Schubert is a breath of fresh air and doesnt sugar coat his class or fill it with SF BS ideas.his class isnt the easiest,but show up,take notes and it is not hard. i enjoyed being forced to read the newspaper

Schubert is an amazing professor. His in class discussions are funny & helpful. He knows his material & expects you to read, ALOT. His test are straight forward, as long as you read & get with a study group, it should be an easy course.

Louis Schubert is very clear on how to get an A in his class, but he also takes into consideration mistakes that are not from a lack of knowledge. He knows that errors are not a reflection of a persons overall knowledge. I highly encourage people to take his class.

Absolutely amazing man. Do yourself a favor and take a class given by Professor Schubert because he is the best teacher I'v probably ever had in my life. Knows the material like the back of his hand and delivers it in such a hilarious down to earth way. He keeps it so raw and real and it really connects with students. He is the best.

he is an easy professor. Although his lecture is kinda messy, his tests are super easy... and do the everyday question, it's 50% of your grade. An easy A

The material is interesting, as are the lectures, but you won't have the opportunity to discuss the material or hear other students' opinionshis is the only one that matters apparently.

Prof. Schubert amazing. I recommend him without a doubt. He is very, VERY knowledgeable and knows everything about politics. His lectures are fun and the content is clearly explained and illustrated. Tests are easy, as long as you show up and study a little bit. But he gets a little too sarcastic in his tone sometimes, which can be annoying.

Professor Schubert's lecture are interesting and his used fun example to clearly explained the content. The tests are easy. I would recommend him. Just make sure take note and attend the class, an easy A. You also will learn a lot if you participate.

I have an undergrad & law degree & graduate level work I have had many profs in my life. Schubert is amongst the top, including Stanford. Why? Because he loves to teach & it shows. He wants to be there! Very intelligent & humorous (in a clever way). Take him for Pols 1! Attendance is mandatoryExams are tough but fair. CCSF is lucky to have him.

Great!

Every class makes you really feel like you're learning something. The way he lectures is one of the most captivating ways I've heard politics and theory being spoken about. He's a fair grader, but make no mistake, you must show up to class and read the material and understand the material to do well.

Took Politics 1 in the fall and LOVED it. Lectures are not boring, and assignments/tests are pretty easy to pass as long as you follow the lectures and read the book at least 60% of what's required.

Schubert makes class engaging, he clearly he loves teaching. The only downside to his class is there isn't a lot to grade on so you have to take the tests he gives seriously. I read little to none of the textbooks but was at every class and took notes. I ended up with a B+. I honestly didn't want class to end sometimes because I enjoyed it so much

Super interesting lectures, very knowledgeable professor but exams are hard no study guide so you dont know what to study for.

AMS5 is very different from the other classes he teaches, but his lectures are just as (sometimes more) interesting than in his main classes. There's a lot of material to read but he curates it well to make his points stick in class. He's sometimes disorganized and when he says the syllabus is tentative- he really means he'll skip parts for time

Prof. Schubert's lectures are interesting and engaging. He is very funny and wants his students to succeed. The grading was clear and its not hard to pass if you follow his guidlines. Exams are based off of lectures, readings, and current US politics. Take good notes, read the text and wallstreet journal, turn in your questions and youll ace it.

One of my favorite teachers thus far! He really cares about his students and is flexible if emergencies come up. He makes you care about the material and is humorous which helps. I took another class with him after poli sci, almost convinced me to change my major. Do yourself a favor and take his class.

Amazing, engaging lecturer! Attend class regularly, turn in your questions, review for tests and you'll get a B; read the textbooks and newspaper and an A is attainable. Prof. Schubert's teaching will give you a much deeper understanding and appreciation of American politics. Highly recommended!

He's tough but extremely knowledgable on politics. Get ready to read a lot but if you put in the work you'll pass. He's inspiring and gave me a newfound respect for, and a much deeper understanding of, American politics. Highly recommended. And turn in your questions, one small simple question everyday can be the difference between an A and a B.

Very approachable, and caring professor.

The funniest professor I've had! He really cares about his students and works with them to pass. I wish I could have had him for poly sci 1

Took Ethnic Politics, Counter terrorism, Political Theory, and International Relations with Professor Schubert. CT is pretty easy, mainly a history course. The rest are difficult and require more thought and effort than most classes. His Political Theory class is amazing, and would recommend to any PS major. Many texts and sources used, all cheap.

Schubert is an awesome professor, but a tough one. Taking his political theory class was pretty difficult. I would recommend for any political science major to take this course. Just a tip: do all of the reading questions and create study groups for the exams!

He's great but he's tough if you take him for anything except POLS 1. POLS 3 is ridiculously hard. Only 5 people passed the first test. He doesn't lecture as much in this class but instead answers questions based on the reading you're supposed to do. The final is really hard. However, you will learn a lot in this class and he's very nice.

He is awsome!!!!!

His lectures are very informative and entertaining. He makes the subject really interesting and he is very knowledgable. Make sure you do your readings and understand the concepts since he will require you to apply concepts to examples and analyze how certain situations or ideas might fit into a theory. The tests are hard!

He is very awesome!!!

very extremely super less homework!!! So far, I only have done one two pages essay!!! and HE IS THE AUTHOR OF THE TEXTBOOK. well lecture, hilarious. I just finished the final exam and the exam was easy!!! Take his class!! you will not regrade it!!!

Awesome guy, gives you a comic when you take his comics, power and society class, good attitude and has lots of experience in the field of comics and many other things.

Doctor Schubert is one of the best political science professors at CCSF! He is extremely professional and truly cares about his students. But I must warn you that he is tough and will expect his students to work hard. He is receptive to questions, and ya'llshould visit him in office hours for help or to have a discussion. A+ Professor

Genuinely cares about his students & passionate about his teaching. Theory has a ton of reading involved and lecture centered on questions based on the reading students are required to turn in. Textbooks can be found online so not a mandatory purchase. 100% more than willing to meet you more than halfway. Really knows his stuff. Best CCSF proffesor

Lou made poli sci fun! he's hilarious n critical n makes you think. For a gen ed req, this was really the best choice i think I made. He wants you to learn the stuff and requires attendance. He's a lil loose with his lectures but its all relevant and interesting. Not a lot of homework, which I appreciate. You wont regret taking his class, promise.

Easy A if you show up and take notes. Very informative. Had a great time.

Grade is based on 3 exams + take home final, lectures are funny. There isn't any homework aside from the reading and take home portions of the exams. Exams are a breeze if you do the reading and review your notes & he tells you exactly what the free response questions are on the exams. Take home final was difficult since he wants 6 pages.

he's fun and his stories are hilarious. he's not hard on grading. he's good at making political science less dull but I still learned a lot. he sometimes cancels class without notice. be aware of that.

Positives: He's hilarious, really passionate and knowledgeable, makes a lot of references to current events, encourages you to meet at office hours. Cons: Lectures are not very organized and are pretty much auditory only-visual learners you're out of luck. KEEP UP WITH READING, ATTENDANCE AND GOOD NOTES! He will give tons of in class handouts.

One of the better teachers at city in my opinion. He is not biased toward a single party which from my understanding is fairly common with political science instructors. The exams are not that difficult, if you study you are guaranteed a B. his lectures are interesting and easy to pay attention too. However, he does not come to class on time ever.

He is very knowledgable with recent news & everything in the political field. He adds jokes in lectures to make it fun. Be prepared for his lectures are not organized & doesn't always follow by the syllabus. He occasionally writes on the board but mostly talks and sips his coke. He is a great professor if you take his lectures + readings seriously.

Amazing professor and funny lectures! He really makes you think. The trick to his class is to attend everyday and write down everything, even if it doesn't seem important. Start studying a couple weeks in advance (make study groups!). Visit during office hours if you're having trouble. His class isn't that hard if you put effort into it and keep up

Great teacher, great lectures, you can tell he likes his job. You will not be disappointed.

His lectures are the epitome of amazing. He undoubtedly cares for his students and wants to see them succeed. Gives plenty of opportunities for easy A's, making it a good "intro to college" course. Just don't expect other teachers to be as lenient! I was lucky enough to take two of his classes, and I will always recommend him as a professor.

He is a hella funny guy, I loved every second of the lecture. First test was very hard, but rest is manageable. There are some papers, on the longer side, but doable. You get to play a turn-based game throughout the semester and that is very fun as well. There are a lot of reading and handouts, and you must read them all. Again, loved every second.

Professor Schubert is a great professor! Took him for Pols 1 and I don't have a single regret. I joined the class a few weeks in, but still managed to get a good grade. His lectures are super funny and keep you awake even if you take his class in the mornings. Grades are based off questions you submit every class session and also exams! Take him!!

prof Schubert gives great, interesting lectures and encourages questions. I have found him to be readily available outside of class especially since we had to switch from in-person to online class due to covid. must be diligent and thoroughly read all the assigned material + participate to pass.

Schubert is super funny and smart. The remote IR class is lecture heavy so it's easy to fall behind but he really knows the material and isn't boring. You are mainly graded on papers/tests but if you take careful notes, you will pass. Tough teacher with high expectations but so worth it. He prepares you well for transfer and emails back very fast.

Best professor ever! Take him, you won't regret it.

Professor Schubert is one of the top professors Ive ever had. He has opened my eyes to a more profound understanding of the many roles the US government plays in the lives of every citizen.I was also fascinated to learn the political thoughts and philosophies behind the conception of the US political system. Excellent class, I highly recommend it!

I have taken both in person & online classes w/ prof. Schubert and I am really happy he is now online b/c I love his instruction but always had schedule conflicts with work. The asynchronous format is great b/c ability watch class videos anytime & also replay for exam study. I hope he does more online classes in the fall!

I first took Schubert's POLS5 class and enjoyed it so much that I decided to take POLS1 with him as well. His online course is pretty lecture and notes-heavy but he is anything but boring and also very funny. If you want to actually learn something and be entertained, Lou is the guy. Grading can be a little tough but it's 100% worth it and doable.

If you care about the subject matter and want to actually learn the material

For his online class, hw was minimal. Dr L Schubert does a great job making his lectures entertaining and memorable. I learnt so much in this class and always told my bf he should watch with me because the lectures were so funny and interesting! Highly recommend this professor. Watch the lectures and take notes and you'll get an A.

Professor Schubert provides an excellent introduction to political theory. His readings are very well curated and he does a great job of making complicated ideas tangible. Do yourself a favor a read everything he assigns - you will learn a lot! I loved his class.

I really like Dr. Schubert & his class. Lectures are fun and engaging. Make sure to take notes from his lecture. Exams were trickier than expected, but if you take notes, you'll be fine. Id take him again if I were a PS major- would consider taking him just to learn and laugh.

I am currently still in this class in my final week. Dr. Schubert's class is entertaining and informative . Whenever I had a question I would email him and he would respond and answer my question. He also helped me get into his AMS 5 class which I was having difficulty adding to my schedule due to time conflict.

Prof. Schubert's knowledge about his field and current affairs is truly impressive and he seems to love sharing with his students. That said, his responses sometimes seem dismissive and snarky and he sometimes strawmans perspectives he doesn't like (e.g. 1619 project). Like most humans, he's complex. Be prepared and you'll learn a ton!

Prof Schubert was very kind, patient, and lenient with me when he didn't have to be! I dropped the class due to personal reasons, but he always was willing to help and try to work with me. The hw is easy (just submitting a question abt the reading) but the exams are very challenging. The class is mostly reading & watching lectures!

Lou Schuberts lectures were masterfully informative, insightful, and completely captivating. He is truly a gem at CCSF and in his Poli Sci/IR field, embodying a passion for teaching and taking great pride in teaching at community college while expanding my immigrant perspective! I loved this class so much!

It was honestly so refreshing taking this class. I've had my fair share of bad teachers at city, but this is a class where I felt like I both learned and enjoyed. Although pre-recorded and reused, his lectures are funny and engaging (albeit long, as others have pointed out). Exams are quite long but aside from that solid class.

Truly cares and is passionate about the content. Remote async class so you HAVE to stay on top of things. Graded by few things so make sure to meet deadlines (ask for extension if needed). Tests based on readings/recorded lectures. Read lecture transcript if short on time. Textbook is pretty interesting if you're into topic.

I struggled with finishing the American Government aspect of my GE's purely because I hated the subject and didn't like any of the professors I had or how they taught the material. I dropped about four history classes until I took Shubert. His online class was so easy for me to follow along! I actually enjoyed watching his lectures (on 2x speed).

I took his POLS 5 class first, and took this class with him as well. He's really knowledgeable on the topic and I found his lectures/assignments really entertaining. That being said, his lectures go super fast, and he assigns lots of reading. But he was very accommodating and answers messages quickly. Just make sure to stay on top of your work.

If you're an auditory learner or prefer to learn by lecture Professor Schubert is as good as it gets. Extremely objective and knowledgeable about all things politics. Truly enjoyable to listen to lectures. The grade is based almost exclusively on exams. Exams are straightforward without surprises if you take good notes and do required readings.

Professor Schubert brought an inspiring energy to class each day that made learning about terrorism and counterterrorism exciting. Your grade is based on the three exams (multiple choice and written parts) and a final 8-10 page report

I enjoy the lectures of this class, but if you don't take good notes you will suffer on exams. If you miss a class you're kind of screwed.

The man's a credit to his profession. I've done more schooling than I care to acknowledge, and he's my favorite lecturer by far. He clearly cares about the material and about his students. If you have an issue, make sure to communicate, because he will try to work with you. Take good notes! The exams focus more on lecture material than readings.

This professor genuinely cares about his students; every lecture was very interesting, and the class occasionally went over its allotted time, but we didn't mind, I wish he can keep talking for hours. However, there will be a lot of reading, so be prepared! I certainly did not, but I am eager to take more of his classes!

Hilarious guy and loved attending lectures. Schubert is incredibly understanding of extenuating circumstances and truly cares about his students. Attend class regularly and ask a ton of questions-- class will seem like an ongoing conversation rather than grueling lectures. Would've taken his comics class too, had it not been for a class-conflict!

Great intro to American Politics. Taking good notes and going to class are key to this course.

Professor Schubert's POL1 class can be challenging, but engaging. Definitely do the readings and take good notes - exams are straightforward if you're prepared. I found Unstuck study helpful for study prep.

Extremely knowledgeable about anything PoliSci-related that you could throw at him, and plenty more besides. Very flexible about extenuating circumstances, as long as you communicate. Exams heavily focused on lectures. Would gladly take any class he teaches.
