I always looked forward to attending Dr. Schneck's lectures. His class was very straightforward and as long as you attended his lectures you would have no problem passing his class. He grades quickly and leaves good feedback on papers so you know how to improve on the next one.

Dr. Schneck is AWESOME!!! He is such an intelligent professor and really likes students that put in a lot of work and try their best. If you're a memorable student he remembers you and invites you to these awesome events, like his birthday party last semester! He's one of the best professors at Catholic!!!!

Dr. Schneck is actually one of the best professors i have ever had. His lectures are incredibly interesting and they made me excited to go to class. There is lots of reading but its manageable. He loves getting to know his students so definitely go to his office hours, he is also well connected and might even help you get an internship!

Comment:

His class was HORRIBLE! Such a waste of time. The books he assigned were great, but he spent no time on them. He made us write a paper about a book we spent two days talking about in class. He moved the classroom to his conference room across from his office and I always ended up sitting in a chair with no desk. So annoying. He was so unhelpful too

Comment:

Dr. Schneck is is truly a great teacher. He is a so knowledgeable about the topic and can literally answer any question you have. I definitely recomend taking one of his classes while at cua. The only down side is the fact that there are only 4 grades each worth 25%, 2 papers and a midterm and a final. He does offer a lot of extra credit though.

The second best politics professor i have had at CUA. His lectures make you think and actually want to pick up the book and read it. Highly recommended if your a student who actually likes to think.

Comment:

Prof. Schneck is a great lecturer. Do NOT take the class if you are not going to read. It is nearly impossible to receive an A with the way the class is set up. His tests are not the easiest. Great guy, but don't take him if you want an A.

Everyone says he is the best prof on campus. I'd put Schneck up against the best profs at any college. His lectures are like idea bombs going off in your head.

A great lecturer, very easy to understand. I learned the most from this class than any other. It is however, a very hard class. There's two tests and two papers, you really need to do the readings and attend every class to do well.

One of my heroes. Best lecture on campus in my four years here by far. There is work involved in this class but you'll want to do it all because its impossible to be bored. Even if you are not a politics major, take him.

INCREDIBLE. Can explain any idea, no matter how complex, in an understandable, interesting, accurate, and insightful way. The best professor I've had. If you have the chance to take a class with Schneck, DO SO. Everyone who's had him agrees.

Comment:

This man walks on water and can probably cure the blind, if he feels like it. Schneck is one of the, if not the best political theory prof at CUA. An amazing orator who makes it easy to take notes and very helpful outside of class. Makes Sullivan look like a middle school civics teacher.

Professor Schneck is a god amoung men. Anyone who says this class is bad must be an incompetent student. Scheck is the best lecturer I have ever had and Political Theory was the best college class I have ever taken. He is a must have before graduation!
