Love the fact that Prof. Hubbard presents both sides of the political spectrum when talking about Government and Current Events. - Allow students to also speak up about there opinions and listen. - buuh - could be better at teaching - enjoyed the class - Everything was good - Excellent educator. - good - good class - great classroom management - Great teacher! Very fun... - He forgot about the cable students and posted tests late. - His lectures are boring. - I enjoyed his class. - I totally hated this class and professor. - it was fine - it was okay - kjh - liked talking about what was going on in the world. - Loved it! The instructor was great and helpful! Change nothing! - Mr. Hubbard is a very wonderful professor. I learned so much in his class this year; that if it not have been for him I would have never have had an interest in politics. He pushes you to the best of your potential. I know he is hard and I struggle and do my best to make and A in his class but his class is of great worth to me. He shows he cares about our knowledge and education when it comes to politics. He is honest and is himself. He has the character of someone to admire. He is by far one of the best professors out at this college and I give him all the praise for all that I have learned and accomplished this year in his class. - n.a. - N/A - NA - no commetns - Nol - none - None. - Not pleased with instructor - nothing needs to change in Professor Hubbard's class. He is if not the best Professor there. - Present material more in order with the textbook - Prof. Hubbard is a very nice teacher. Although I thought it would have been more helpful if he would have provided the book companion website before the first exam. - Professor Hubbard s strengths are in his organization and his use of CAMs student portal. He is not my favorite professor as far as personality. His lectures in general were dull, sometimes unstructured, and difficult to take notes in. I felt his view of students from the Allen Campus was to negative and generalized, and that he paid little attention to us as individuals. However, unlike many professors, he stuck to a course outline and it was clear when quizzes and tests would be and what they would be about. He responded to emails promptly. - Taught the class with a passion for the subject - The class was great, full of information and the instructor was very helpful with any questions i had about the class. - this class was a little difficult - We only meet on Monday nights, and Mr. Hubbard used all the time we had to the fullest. During the start of every class we major events occurring around the country and world. He saved newspaper articles which were important to either the US or Texas government.

He was very inconsiderate and a jerk. - I wished I would have gone to meet some ot the students from the class in Borger.
