The best class
take this
He was my favorite professor
highly recommended
Professor Schister was extremely an extremely helpful professor, on top of interesting. I entered the class with no interest in geology and left desiring to further research the subject. I highly recommend him to other students.
Professor has very deep knowledge of the subject and is a great teacher. He has emourmous sense of humor and his classes are relly enjoyable. He opened my eyes on the Earth and its processes. The grading is very consistent and fair!!!Great class!
highly recomended
he is awesom
There is no better professor than him.
Professor M.Schister was our favorite instructor.
Great sense of humor
Really interesting course.
Great interesting course. Learned alot. Workload was moderate. Enjoyed the semester.
an extremely interesting course.The professor has been very clear,patiently answered questions with courtesy.An asset to Touro College.
Very patient professor. Class was very interesting, so I never missed. Loved it!
Very Sweet. Extremely cultured.Extremely helpful and conscious of the students needs. Willing to help always. I Can't wait to get the Semester started.
Professor Schuster is amazing. He will help you and make sure you understand the material. If you pay attention in class and study for the test you will do well. He wants you to do well. I would recommend to take him!!
Professor Schuster is absolutely one of the best professors I have ever had! He's patient, funny, extremely knowledgeable about everything, and teaches really well. I recommend this class to everyone!
Max Schuster is a human encyclopedia! He knows everything about geology and taught me soo many things about the earth and my everyday surroundings. He is great!!!
Professor Schuster was hands down one of my favorite Professors. He was kind, understanding and knew Geology thoroughly and explained things thoroughly as well. He made sure everyone understood all lessons, and topics taught. Wonderful class experience.
B I really enjoyed this Class. Professor Schuster makes you want to learn and know more and more. He is always there for you if you need help or just to go over certain things. I would recommend him to everyone!
very good class and teacher, definitely recommend :)
Professor Schuster is awesome. I enjoyed his class and learned a lot. I learned a lot about the earth and it's compositions. During my research for my presentation, not only did I learn about waterfalls but also how to do a powerful presentation using PowerPoint. Prof. Schuster makes you work for your grade. I recommend him professor highly!
Professor Schuster made Physical Geology Fascinating! Before entering this class You might think as I did, this class sounded boring,I mean what could be interesting about the earth, rocks, minerals? He's got sense of humor, brings real life examples,he's clear,& breaks down the material in simple terms.I gained a lot of knowledge. Gr8 class!
Great sense of humor. Classwork is very straightforward. He genuinely cares and want his student to learn and do well.
Thank you for making the class enjoyable and fun.
We really enjoyed your class this semester. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
Prof. Shuster is witty and knows his material. The class is well worth taking. You leave with real world knowledge about things you see and interact with every day. Overall, I would recommend that everyone take this class. My recommendation for taking this class is study your notes every week because everything is important come test time.
The best science teacher ever. Funny, keeps my attantion. We had a lot of fun in his class. I love him and would recommend this course to everyone.It is very informative as well as the fact that he requires memorization helps me learn and remember the material. Awesom teacher, awesome class!
In all honesty, I am very disappointed in myself. The first few classes I can say I was contemplating dropping this course, but as the class carried on I realized that this professor is ideal professor. I quickly shut him out and that's one of the biggest mistake I've made here at Touro.
This man is beyond brilliant and can explain the material in numerous ways that all of this students can get a firm grasp on whatever it is he teaching. If I can hit the do-over button I would, this man is an excellent professor and a good person too.
Amazing prof right on point with the information Explained the material that should be known very well. Makes the class fun and interesting. requires a 5- 10 min power point presentation on the topic you choose. Would recommended everyone who needs geology to take his class.
This is my first time attending school in 28 years and I must say I am thankful and grateful to have had Professor Max Schuster as my professor. He makes learning fun and makes sure you completely understand everthing before the class is over. He also makes himself available to stay after class or to communicate via email. Hats off to you Prof Max
Love this professor. The lectures were awsome! He gives you all the tools to be successful in his class. I would take his class again.
Max was a great professor, the goal of his class is that you learn the material and if you do an A grade is just a side note. Great class!!
I've learn things better than ever before .
the best teacher ever, nice, helpful and clear, and fair on grading. I wish he gave more classes.
i like how he is teaching . great professor. easy A. helpful and willing to pass everybody. will take him again for sure if ill need. take him and will not regret.
I can not even imagine how to teach geology better way than professor Schuster does. He respects and cares of his students. Amazing classes.
This professor is amazing. He is very helpful, informative and consistant. Friendly and kind as well.
Excellent Professor. Really enjoyed this class!! He makes learning geology fun.
Professor Max Schuster is the best professor I've had. He listens to his students, he's very understanding, and patient when a student doesn't understand something he takes the time to go back over the material and he makes his classes very fun and educated. My advice students to take his classes because he's the best at what he does teaching
Professor Schuster is that rare gem of a professor who is knowledgeable, kind, fair, and not a pushover. He gets that course loads are tough and that his class isn't exactly taken by people bananas about rocks. He's there to surprise you and teach you about the science he loves. Treat him with respect, do the 1 assignment well, and you're golden.
Professor, Thank you for a very interesting and enjoyable semester in geology. You have an immense wealth of knowledge. We will miss you a lot.
Loved the class. Hiis method of teaching is phenominal
He is a model professor. He loves what he teaches, is intelligent, very funny, and knows how to take super complex information and bring it down to a simple form that we can all understand. He has no problem helping students learn or repeating things. I feel very appreciative of the knowledge I had learned about the Earth. He is inspiring.
One of the best teachers I had ever had in my life! He truly cares about what he teaches and how his students learn. I never would have thought that geology meant so much to me. Now I want to keep learning about it.
Excellent teacher, always there for his students. highly recommended!
Great professor and super charming! He explains things very well :) all in all I loved him
I enjoy every single session. Geology is not only dry facts about rocks and minerals, it's about life.
Had professor for the Spring Geology class, he lectures, you need to take notes, what he says is on midterm and final are on the midterms and finals !!!! Don't expect to skip his class and pass. All and All a great professor. I learned a lot in his class
amazing professor
Definitely would love to take any class prof. Schuster would teach!
Professor Schuster was a great teacher I really enjoyed his class. The lesson was really easy along as you know a little Earth Science class you should be okay. Schuster is a really easy grader as long as you participate and attend the classes regularly. Schuster grading system is pretty straight forward
This is probably the only class in my college career that I've never missed. Professor Shuster is very informative, engaging with a subtle wig about him. His class is delightful and I learned a lot from him. I would strongly recommend it and I will miss him dearly!
He's an excellent professor. He's very clear and with geology that's important. He tells you exactly what you need to know for the midterm and final. Highly recommend taking him!
The most interesting lectures I have ever had in my life. Great professor, I think he is the best at Touro. Can not wait to meet him again. Unfortunately my class is only once a week.
Professor Schuster is AMAZING! I was extremely intimated of taking this class and thought is would be difficult. Professor Schuster, made class fun and interesting. His lectures are vivid allowing you to be able to picture exactly what he is referring to. I left every class and the semester informed and confident in the area of geology. HE'S GREAT
Awesome professor everything he writes down on the board is what he puts on the final and midterm it's a very interesting course
When I first heard that I had to take this class believe me I was immediately concerned. Thanks to the professor he made fun to learn. Thank you professor Schuster.
I really enjoyed taking this class. He's a really good professor. He explains everything thoroughly, repeats if you don't understand, and gives extra examples. Geology is something that i struggled with in high school. He made the topics easy to understand by showing pictures,and videos. Also, with his sense of humor he made the time go by fast.
Great professor. Very worth the class.
Professor Schuster is passionate about geology. He knows how to make his subject live and before you know it, you are interested in global warming, volcanoes, rock formations, etc. Professor Schuster has many illustrations that help you get the point. Participate, come to class, pass your test, complete your assignments and you can get an easy A.
Professor Schuster was a really good professor, well spoken and made the lectures very easy and understanding. Everything that was on the midterm and finals he tough us through his own knowledge and did not need a textbook to teach nor read from. Extremely intelligent.
He is one of the best Professors at Touro. He made geology interesting and relatable. He gave examples and told stories on what we learned. All of which can be applied to real-life scenarios. From day one he tells you what is needed from you as a student to get a good grade. The classes were a great experience. Definitely recommend!
Very knowledgable professor with a kind heart and a great sense of humor. You will not regret taking his class
I have never read geology before but professor made it easy to understand and I just followed his instructions regarding how can I perform well in class and pass with a good grade. His lectures always attracted me even once I was waiting for him and I was told to go after signing my name because he was late(unintentionally). I didnt want to miss.
The best professor in Touro College! Take his class you wont regret it!! Very interesting class and professor !
I would take any class Professor Schuster taught. He was recommended to me and Im recommending him . He is brilliant. His class is interesting and entertaining. He made it very clear day one what he expected and he is a fair grader. Midterm , power point final. Go to class ,listen to his lecture and you will pass this class. Great experience
Schuster was there for me since the first class. No homework/tests. You need to do a PowerPoint presentation of any topic in geology and midterm and final multiple choice. gives notes and a review sheet. Cares about attendance and participation, he wants to give you an A! It's easier to get an A than to fail his class! He offers help and tutoring!
Participation matters in this class but trust me when I say it's worth it. This is one of the few classes I genuinely enjoyed this semester. This professor is extremely understanding, hilarious, caring and overall a great professor. You also actually learn in this class, and enjoy what you learn. I would recommend taking him if youre thinking of it
Professor Max is amazing he cares for his students and love to help his students i would definitely have him again as a professor
Professor Schuster is amazing. He is very good at teaching and although his lectures are long- he makes them enjoyable and has the class engaged. You will be graded only on a presentation you will prepare and then the midterm and final. He truly wants you to do well and if you put in the time and effort you will succeed in his class.
I had the pleasure of being a student in Professor Max Schuster's class. I really enjoyed his class and learned a lot. He was readily available to assist me with any problem I had, he showed genuine concern about his students performance and has a very engaging personality. Thank you Professor Schuster.
It was such an amazing experience! He's one of the best Professors in Touro College. His lectures are always very organized and well explained. He's very clear on what he wants from the students and gives very detailed reviews before each exam. I would definitely recommend take his class!
This is college so you must participate, attend his class and take notes. He gives examples to help you better understand and answers questions when you have them. Put in the work and you will get the grade you deserve. If you don't put in the work, blame yourself. Thank you, Professor!! A TRUE GEM to Touro University. I would def take him again!
Amazing professor, caring of his students. Always available after class for additional assistance and tutoring. Very knowledgeable and really willing to share his knowledge with his students. Great sense of humor! Definitely take him again.
He was great and fair. Nice person
Professor Schuster is a very competent and brilliant educator. He is very passionate about the success of all his students. Professor Schuster considers his students' time - as well as his own, in collaborating for extra support outside of instructional time. He is confident in his expertise and pedagogy which makes him a superb teacher!
Keep on inspiring and educating others just like you have done for me Professor Schuster. God bless u and ur family!
In the beginning I did not think I would find it interesting, but professor made this class amazing and I would recommend it to everyone.
I never thought I would love Geology, but thanks to Professor Schuster I have a new found love of science. He was funny, smart, and very upbeat. He was more than fair and really wants his students to do well, so he goes the extra mile to make it happen.
Great guy, loves to joke. Camera on! will randomly call on you. His midterm & final reviews did not cover exams, so i focused on the wrong topics. Exams are in person. Received a B+ which ruined my 4.0 GPA. I participated in every class, had camera on & gave an awesome presentation, i wish he would have considered that when giving my final grade
Hello Professor. Thank you for everything. I see my grade and I'm very happy with it. Have a wonderful summer.
I will miss your jokes professor 😄
