Incredibly brilliant teacher. Changes view of world. Get ready to study

Definitely a hard teacher but as long as you keep up with the reading, then the lectures will all make sense. Although it is hard, he has a HUGE curve at the end to balance the grades. He is definitely better than Wegman.

Awesome teacher, he seems very hard at first, and picks on students to answer quest. randomly,but he only does that for the first few weeks. So stick to it, and you'll hella learn in that class. Oh. no homework the entire semester!

Scheulke is a good teacher, and has screaming rants every once in a while, which are fun to listen to(he gets back to the subject within reasonable time). <-- Though they are probably just for show, they are honestly fun. The subject matter is moder

I just loved this instructor. Very entertaining! Tough class though. You must pay attention and READ the material then RE-read it! If you thought him rude you have no sense of humor!

Schuelke was an awesome econ teacher. I was dreading taking this class, but he managed to make it interesting and although his tests were hard, if you just came to class regularly and read the book you'll do fine. He grades on a curve so it okay.

I took 1B just to have another class with shuelke. No homework and three tests, what more could you ask for. Capitalist approach is interesting for me, I am more of a socialist so it gave a new perspective. Good teacher, kinda funny and kinda haughty. He wears the exact same thing to class every day

He's a nice guy and he seems to genuinely care about his students. The first day I was scared sh*tless because he started calling on people from the roster and asking them questions about Econ 1A. Watch out for his tests, you have to use your time wisely! (2 sections: bluebook and mult. choice)

Schuelke is a great teacher. Clearly coming from a conservative fiscal standpoint, he knows what he is teaching and does so effectively. READ THE CHAPTERS. They serve you well in the lecture. His game is somewhat helpful, his test are difficult but read the chpts and you should do fine! 9 out of 10!

Ron Schuelke is the man! He will get you very excited about Economics. His tests are brutal and he takes pride in it. Better study, study. No homework, but that makes it hard to keep up with reading. Overall awesome!

Don't miss any class periods, because his lectures are crucial to passing tests. Other than that, he's clear, organized, to the point, and has plenty of real world experience (worked for Bank of America) to give anecdotal explanations of lecture topics. Go for Schuelke if you plan to actually study.

Awesome teacher. Actually has real world experience. You better be ready to study; his tests will make you cry. However, you will be ready to discuss the subject of economics when finished. He can be a bit intimidating, so if you are shy, he is probably not for you.

If you don't read book than Econ will challege you so does Mr. Schuelke! Two tests Book/leture based (mult. choice/little writting) and 100pts worth easy game. He is very fair and experienced teacher. Class is very intersting and lot of fun. Curve Based grades, so even if you get B's on tests, you may end up “A” on Final.

Organized, loud, abnoxious. Most people are uninterested in econ coming into the class, except for those "few". He caters to both, he knows if you want to be there or not. The game he gives is good, but kinda random, dosent really teach you much unless you read into it. Id recommend for anyone :)

Unbelievable teacher and better person minus his conservative views. Probably my favorite teacher of all time, the class is a riot. Very difficult though, do not miss class. Wish I could take him over and over just for the entertainment. On behalf of all your students Mr. Shulke, thanks you're the best..

He is tough, but good read and reread you'll be busy

A REAL LOUD TEACHER!! The class can sometimes get crazy but he always manages to get through his lectures. Be prepared to read the text!!! His tests are pretty hard even if you've studied for them. You need to study pretty hard to pass his class.

I was stoked to get a B out of the class. I worked hard and enjoyed talking with Schuelke. He has a sense of humour and knows who wants to be there and who doesn't. He also knows if you are on top of the material! =) I really liked schuelke's class.

I agree with the Andy Dick comment. Very funny, and true! Great teacher, knows who wants to be there and who doesn't. You can't skate through this one...

dude, the guy sacred me****less on the first day i went but it turns out he is a really cool guy and a helluva teacher! his lectures flow and include everyone in the class. he is able to hold everyone's interest even if he know you don't want to be there. he is very clear when he explains things and is able to give multiple examples for different scenarios. plus he is hilarious. just read the damn book. thats it and you're set like a jet ****.

Shuelke, Your GREAT!! He's an overall awesome teacher. Tough class, so get into that book. He's quite the character. None like him. From the Latino kid who sat in the back of your '05 Fall class, thanks for being such an awesome Teacher. GOD BLESS.

Great teacher. Should have taken Micro with him instead of Sorenson. Got a B+ and enjoyed his econ game.

Schuelke rules. He keeps intrest in a traditionally dry subject by using real world examples. Sometimes he starts yelling and he is hillarious.

thumbs up!

This class is tough, but his "C" is 50% on the exams... not that difficult to get a C if you come to class, study for the exams, & take good notes. Pretty difficult to get an A in this class... only 2 out of probably 30 ended up with an A in my class. Go for the C & be content! He's a great teacher.

Schuelke is hands down my favorite professor from my time at the JC. He makes economics very compelling and he really believes in the principles he's teaching you. He is funny, sarcastic and has a tendancy to yell (though not really at anyone). I had not interest in economics before taking this class and now I really love it.

Schuelke, I think is the mose interesting econ teacher here. for 1a I took Reading and he was so boring. This class is very hard, but you have to stick in there and study hard. he makes class interesting, and yells to keep you awake. the sign language teacher had to come into our class to tell him to shut up.

He is crazy! I feel sorry for his wife! He is hilarious, but you have to know your stuff! He expects that u've read before class and aren't depending on him for your info. I liked wegman better, but seulke will be a trip too! Also you have to do a little country project to get an A, B..are their any other econ 1b teachers? You can't avoid him!

This guy is so crazy! He yells to keep the class awake, but not at one particular person. The class is not easy in that he tests you on eight chapters of material at once, so it's quite a bit. But I got a B :)

let me break this down for you. 100-85 A; 84-70 B; 69-50 C; 49-35 D; 34-0 F. It is easy to get a C if you study, an A is another story. There is no homework so you really need to read the book and study if you want to survive. He is fun to listen to, gets really excited, and loves to laugh. He also tells good stories too.

Best econ teacher hands down! But do NOT take econ unless you have to, its the hardest class ive ever taken! You will study your ass off for a C. Class is based on mid term and finial and there both really hard. A few other assignments, but those arent so bad. But if you have to econ or your just crazy, take Schuelke he rocks!!! I loved his class

He is a great teacher. The subject requires that you actually study to understand. He explains everything very well. One of the most interesting lecturers I've ever had. I was never bored! Got a C in 1A, and an A- in 1B. Its not that hard!

Simple class. Just show up to class listen to him lecture and take his test. Its insanely easy to pass the class. Take it from me and don't ditch half 2 months of lecture. If looks could kill when I was taking his final I would be dead 100 times over.

Mr. Shuelke was fun. I was not looking forward to taking this class at first but am glad I did. He is hard but if you read you will do fine. Just know the book and you will get an A. The book was boring. Econ is boring but Schuelke makes it bearable. If you study hard you will be fine. He is funny too!!

I couldn't stand sorenson, so schuelke was icing on the cake. Having an entertaining prof. at 730 in the morning for summer school makes all the difference in the world. He is very knowledgeable and spends a lot of time utilizing internet sources. If a question comes up in class he goes to the internet and automatically answers it for you!

Schuelke was probably one of the best experiences I have had at SRJC thus far. Even though his lecture style comes off as somewhat unorthodox, he makes class very entertaining. Make sure you read the book and do all your work, you can definitely pass. Also, don't confront him on a subject unless you ABSOLUTELY know what you are talking about. He has brought old women to tears before.

Schuelke is a great professor. I wasn't too interested in econ before but he makes it interesting and provides usefull current applications. The only downside is that he gets off track easily in class, which is part of why he's so funny and interesting, but it also means you have to do some catch up reading on your own.

If you are going to take this class, don't take the summer session. Very Hard class, but you learn so much about everything. Schuelke is a funny guy, he might seem a little strange at first but he knows what he's doing. You have to work your ass off for a B. Read the book, play the game, do all the lessons, read the book again. 70 on the test = a B

Very interesting class, attendance is taken randomly so you have to show up to all the classes. Everything is fair game on the tests be it in the game, in the text or in the lectures. Funny guy!

Very hard class, at the beginning he advises you to read the book; a majority of his scantron questions are based on things not covered in class. If you have trouble understanding something, ask and he is very helpful in clearing up anything not understood. Gets off topic frequently, but is very fun. TESTS ARE VERY VERY HARD.

He's a good teacher and the class is pretty enjoyable. He doesn't cover everything he tests on in class so YOU HAVE TO READ THE TEXTBOOK! Only two exams, one midterm, one final, which is not cumulative, and the other one hundred points are from a game you play. If you do well on the game, and do okay on the exams, you should be able to pass.

I struggled throughout this course (my fault--not enough studying), however a reason I decided to stay is because of Schuelke. I really enjoyed his charisma and the way he explained and taught. I gained a great amount of knowledge from his lectures.

Schuelke changed my life forever. I had Econ1 around 7 or 8 years ago. Of the tens of dozens of teachers I've had through my lifetime, he is the unforgetable one. He will open your eyes and tell you exactly the way things are and why. There is no fluff in his class or beating around bushes. So Schuelke, if you're reading this, Thank you!

I think for most people going into this class they didn't realize that the book was going to be their best friend. Anyways he was one of the best teachers I've ever had. I even changed my major to Economics. A+++

Great professor, my economics interest was further developed by him and I continued to complete my B.A. in economics. I feel that if students do not like this professor it is because they did not do well in his course or they are not use to working hard and using their brain.

Ron was an awesome instructor. His lectures were some of the most vibrant and informative that I have ever had, and his tests WIll KILL you if you do not study for hours. Study hard and it is possible to earn an B, work your *** off and you have a chance at an A ;] Awesome teacher and if you are really passionate about econ take this class!!!

Tough class, but learn alot! Interesting lectures. Take good notes(might see pointless at 1st, but necessary!) STUDY text inside and out! Know concept, and vocab! Textbk's site practice quiz helps. Grade based on midterm, final and playing his game. Tricky game questions,but manageable,those are the easy point.Grading system curve.

he teaches his lessons off of his own agenda, dosnt necessarily go with the assigned chapters in the book. he makes his tests seem harder than they are, but they are definetly hard. other than that the game assignments are super easy and fun. nice guy, wants to help. attendance isnt mandatory, his in class lessons barely help with the tests. book!!

He was about as tough as they come, but good. His class taught me the study skills necesarry to succeed when I transferred to a 4 year school. I have also used the econ he taught me in my business career. Very supportive, driving and demanding instructor. Wish I had more like him! The class isn't easy, but you'll be glad you took it.

Very hard class, but extremely funny teacher. Would recommend his class as long as you are willing to work hard. Hard to understand his handwriting, but very funny class. Make sure to study a lot for the midterm and final they are KILLER.

First of all, this is a hard subject. I'm an A, B student and got a C. So even if you're really good at math (which I am), be prepared to do some heavy studying. Schuelke fun though, but he doesn't go over everything, so you have to keep up with reading. Also, hard grader on exams, so get all your points with the game and you'll survive.

What can I say, you gotta love Schuelke. He's definitely eccentric and likes to yell, but he's a great teacher, extremely helpful, funny, and just a nice guy. You can tell he really cares about how his students do in the class. You HAVE to read the book and attend regularly to pass, but if you do, you'll be fine. Difficult but very interesting

I owe much of my career and my further academic achievement to Ron ripping me a new orifice when I confronted him on a grade I received on his exam. I learned more in Ron's course than in any one of my previous classes, and the rigor and attention to detail served me well in future work toward my MBA. Ron is a great guy, and a spectacular teacher.

Final grade based on a midterm, final and five "Global Econ Game" assignments, total 300 pts. Awesome grading scale! 50-64, C; 65-84, B; 85-100, A! Fall '12, only 7 (of 61) received an A. Do not neglect textbook! Strategy: get all 100 points from the games, and score min 25(!) on each test for at least a C grade. Schuelke is def entertaining!

Hard class but very good teacher and good person. I really liked him.

Test require you to know the vocab from the book. Read, study, and you'll do fine on the first midterm. Final was crazy. Lectures are interesting and relevant. Notes he puts on the board are worked out quickly - difficult to follow. Be prepared to be called on regarding the reading. Wide berth for As and Bs, but you must study.

Pros: If you study and pay attention to the lectures, the class is medium difficulty If you like his humor, he can be fairly funny Cons: His jokes are definitely not for everyone Lectures can easily turn into rants rather easily The game he assigns for homework is both difficult and pointless, but is unfortunately necessary for passing

When it comes down to it, there are two things that matter most. Showing up to class and reading what he assigns. It is a pretty big chunk of reading but you have half a semester to study for each test. I can't stress this enough though. SHOW UP/TAKE NOTES AND READ THE BOOK/MEMORIZE TERMS. Not all of the material is covered in lecture.

Hardest class I've ever taken but learned so much. His lectures seem pointless but if you keep up in reading it will all make sense and you'll see when he rambles there's actually value in it. You're only graded on 2 tests and 5 hw assignments. Don't count on extra credit or attendance points to help you out lol

I get why students complain, but young students just won't get it. I couldn't understand why this professor was saying the things he was saying, believing him wrong and to an extent a crackpot. He was 100% correct in everything he taught. You won't understand until you enter the real world what he is talking about, but he is 100% on point.
