Definitely a positive experience. Mr. Clinkscale has a very entertaining way of teaching. It is by no means an easy class, and he makes you work for your grade! However, I came out of his class knowing more than I did entering his class! Excellent instructor, I'm sad that he's retiring.

Great teacher! Struggled w his exams at first but eventually I started passing them. Lectures were very entertaining, he's really passionate about government. He helped write the textbook so it is essential to pass. He's retiring this semester (Spring 2015) and will be missed!

Best teacher at TCC. Not an easy class but you will learn a lot and he is very helpful. gives extra reviews to make sure you understand everything and gives lots of extra credit. He wrote the book so you have to actually read it. as long as you read and attend class and a review you will do fine.

Professor Clickscale is amazing. Don't get me wrong, he is tough, but if you do the work, attend the reviews, and study you will do well. He gives tons of extra credit and lets you know exactly what to study for the tests. His assignments are refreshing and out of the ordinary. He is by far the best professor I have ever had.

Very good teacher! Very passionate about what he teaches. I had some fun in the class, especially when we did a mock Texas legislature. He wrote the book, so read it. Do the extra credit. Every point counts!

Very passionate Professor. Really understands how to make the information he's teaching extremely interesting. Extremely humble to students. Be prepared for a lot of reading in his class. It is not needed to pass his test, but it is needed to pass with an A. Nobody in my class made an A on any of his four exams.

Had to show up to class and since he wrote the textbook, reading is a MUST. Nice guy but did WAY too much for a summer course. Class was boring unless you love government. Do the extra credit!

Mr. Clinkscale is an asset to TCC. It is teachers like him that restore my faith in community college. If you are interested in actually learning about Gov't you should take his class. I had to do the work, but I ended up earning an A.

If you need Texas History or Texas Government for your degree take this professor before he retires. If you have an interest in Texas at all, get on board with Prof Clinkscale BEFORE HE RETIRES. He is fair & "old school" prof! Don't miss his classes!!

One of my favorite teachers ever, great mix of information provided in class and challenging quizzes. I HIGHLY recommend him if you are unfamiliar with Texas History. Not the hardest class but, the grade you get is the reflective of your work ethic.

This is a good teacher. He is helpful, kind and sweet. He is a bit hard since he does not grade a curve but he gives out extra credit that earns you half a letter grade. I'm going to school to become a government teacher so he did help me out and he is amazing for everyone. He is not hard but difficult so you have to put in the work. well worth it

although I made a C in the course. this class was very easy. He does not grade with a curve so you will EARN YOUR GRADE! I had perfect Attendance and he also gives credit in the class for participation. Gives a half letter grade in extra credit. Only reason I earned a "C" was due to the fact that I didn't do the reaction paper he assigned.
