Great teacher what is on his quizzes is exactly whats on the test easy A.
No Comments
really easy,gives lots of bonuses and has neat stories
This is the only teacher I would recommend for the govt courses. He makes things make sense in real world situations, his lectures aren't boring, and he makes sure you are obscenely well-prepared for tests. You would have to put effort into failing his class.
I took him for both of my government classes and loved him. He cares and makes the class interesting if you show up. He gives extra credit and it is easy.
Jackson is the coolest govt teacher a student could dream of!! The review is exactly the test just arranged differently, doesn't care if you come to class, but when you do go he always tells interesting stories so its really not the bad attending!!!
Best teacher ever! Im in his class right now and I couldn't pick a better teacher.
This guy is great! I'm taking 21 hours this semester and this course is a joke with him. You can pick up reviews for the tests at the CLC which are basically the tests just re arranged! EASY EASY EASY!! He has a extra credit assignment that can take over your lowest test grade. Only 3 tests encluding final! Take him you wont regret it!
HE is Great! do the reviews that are in the clc and you will make an A in this class, you don't even have to go to class, but he does give extra credit.
Easy as pie. I would copy his review sheets from the Library and study those. Never cracked the book. I'd go to class and just get on my laptop and do other homework and listen to some of his stories. He's very nice.
Pretty interesting lectures, and gives a review out before the tests that has all the answers. Just do the review and listen in class and an A is guaranteed
This is the best class I have taken in 4 years. It is one that you can work full time and spend time with your family without having to read and study constantly. He makes the class fun and has many interesting stories. Both his TX and US Government classes cover about the same material in some ways and he will always relate his topics to real life
AWESOME!!!! He makes learning about not so intresting topics fun and exciting! Class was straight forward and simple. Just study the study guides and its an Easy A all the WAY!!!
This class was very much well done. Great stories. You can download his notes and reviews from the TCC Learning Center. Do the reviews + extra credit easy A !!
this class is really an easy A. you don't really need to study much, i usually just read the review a few hours before test. I still go to class because Mr.Jackson gives concepts that are really worth thinking and I enjoyed it.
he is very easy and will help you if you have any questions.
AWESOME TEACHER!!! MADE CLASS VERY INTERESTING. DOESN'T GRADE ON ATTENDENCE. YOU COULD SKIP ALL SEMESTER AND AS LONG AS YOU GO THROUGH AND ANSWER THE REVIEWS THAT HE OFFERS YOU'LL DO FINE. HE DROPS 1 LOW TEST GRADE WITH A FUN AND EASY PROJECT!!! LOVED CLASS!!!
Great lectures every class. Not required to attend but very interesting. Easy A if you study. Helps in every way he can and you have the option to do a paper in lieu of test score. Very clear in what he expects and only 3 grades for the semester.
Lets you know up front what he expects. Just do it and you can get an A. Very knowledgeable worth the time to attend on campus v. online. He makes government interesting.
Great teacher!Very interesting, educates and makes you think. Do the reviews and you will do good on the tests. Mr. Jackson offers a paper to substitute one of the three test and also provides other extra credit opportunities.I will be taking him for Gov. II. fall "09"
Government was pretty easy. Sometimes he wasted too much time joking or telling his stories. But he is pretty good teacher overall.
Come on, it's freakin' Gov't. If you have trouble in this class, that EVERYONE has to take, just drop out now. Puts his quizes in the CLC for you to pick up. His tests are exactly like his quizes. I stopped reading the text book because all you have to do is those quizes. Whatever, easy A, fell asleep every lecture, don't know what else to tell you
Puts all his tests and quizzes on reviews for you available to pick up in the CLC. All his lectures are based on powerpoints and also puts Very enthustiastic. Definitely reccommed.
He takes a lot of time on talking about useless things. He gets off subject a lot but other than that he is a good teacher. You can miss every class and only come when there's a test and you'll be fine. Do all the chap reviews from the CLC and you'll pass the class for sure.
Dr. Jackson provides you the questions for each exam, all you got to do is answer them and study. He'll sometimes get off-topic during the lecture, but he's got a sense of humor and you won't get sick of listening to him. Easy class!
Mr. Jackson no longer provides a test review for Texas and Local Government II. Students must use the online book website to study and/or create their own study guide. I have yet to take the first test. I hope that
Very funny guy. Only 4 test grades for the whole semester, so you have to do good. He can get off the subject alot of the times. You only need the book to study for the test, so I wouldnt really buy one if I was you. I would take him again.
This guy is awesome! you dont have to go to his lectures and you can still get an A as long as you study his reviews and use the book. I would only go to his lectures to get a good laugh. the guy has a great sense of humor and usually can get off topic. he is extremely helpful if you approach him. take this class you wont regret it!
You don't have to go to class, but i would anyway. He's been living in Texas ALL his life and has many interesting stories, he get's off topic a lot, but the class is interesting, he's helpful and a good guy, he does give reviews for the 4 test now, and if you study them it should be an easy A. would definitely recommend this teacher
This prof gets off topic a lot and can be a beating to listen to. I basically only showed up for the tests (and a few classes here and there). I got a 100 in the class. The only grades are 4 tests. I just used my book to fill out the review, which was almost identical to the test. Easy.. but if you really want to enjoy the class, take someone else.
There are only 4 grades in this Gov. II course and they are tests. He may offer an extra credit assignment to assist with grade point average. I made an A in this class. An easy-going professor. I took him for Gov.I and Gov. II and made an A in both classes. He makes you really think about the world that we live in today.
Instructor has 4 tests. You can make an A as long as you really fill out the review sheets and study them hard. Not as easy as his US Govt class but do-able. Gives an opportunity to complete extra credit. It's a toss up in choosing Dr Jackson or Dr Saxe. Saxe seems to be more entertaining.
horrible. his teaching skills is not good at all. he need to do better. sitiing in class did not help. I learned from the book. he didnt grade the test good either.
I loved this teacher, he is funny and entertaining. His test are so easy and gives out extra credit at times. I got a 100% overall!!
He gets extremely off topic during lecture, but it doesn't matter. Everything you need for the test is on the review (which pretty much comes straight from the book.) I went to class everyday and just worked on homework from my other classes, and still made an A in the class.
He is the easiest teacher I have ever had. Like others have said, all you have to do to make an A in this class is fill out the review questions and study them and you will make an A. He is very long winded and gets way off topic almost every class. But he can be entertaining if you really don't mind being bored every now and then.
He is a practicing attorney who teaches. The guy is ridiculously easy. He goes through each chapter, and provides the information online as well. Tests are from his review, but I would recommend reading the chapters while doing the review. If you take the time and do this you will ace the test. I got 3 100's and a 95, final is over last chapters.
Great professor, one of the easiest classes I have taken. He is extremely likable and funny, and knows the inside and out of the subject.
in 2011 he's not that great. His lectures are only partially linked to the book & it's hard to comprehend the lecture outline in correlation with the test
He may be a nice guy, but he is a terrible professor. His lectures are SO REPETITIVE! He tells the same stories over and over and rarely stays on topic. His exam reviews are very vague and he doesn't cover the material during lectures because he's too busy telling personal stories.
The lectures are lame and not helpful in the least. The reviews sucks and the choice options on the tests usually make no sense. You'll hate him.
class was failry easy, although he ALWAYS got off subject to tell his life stories which he repeated over and over..test are kinda hard, he gives a study guide but test dnt mere study guides...i would take his class again...overall he is a nice man with a great personality...TAKE HIS CLASS!!
He's decently funny and seemed really smart, but he basically spends the whole class telling stories. This is great for the most part, except when it actually comes to test time and he hasn't covered some of the subject matter. He'll spend the whole class going off on tangents, then rush through his lecture slides at the end of class.
He's a really funny man but I honestly never knew what he was talking about when it came to government but he does give you chances for extra credit.
He was a great professor. He got off topic but he talked about life and how the government is working at a particular moment. He teaches with WISDOM and EXPERIENCE.
Professor Andrew Jackson is one of few punctual teacher in TCC. He gave out extra points in exam. His lecture can be lengthy but if you carefully listen to his lecture, you will excel in exam. Mr. Jackson wants you to understand and learn not memorize to do well in the test. He is very easy going and helpful. I definitely recommend him.
Professor Jackson is very funny. He gets off the subject of govrnmnt often telling about personal stories. Its an EASY A. Only 4 test the entire semester. 2 are in class. Other 2 are online will multiple attempts. EASY CLASS
He is a really nice guy, but has done a terrible job teaching my class. He's constantly off topic. Class rarely starts when it is supposed to, he is too busy chatting with students for about 30 minutes. We have been behind schedule the whole semester. With 3 class days left in the semester, we still have 3 chapters to cover for our final.
He is a nice guy, but is always off topic with his stories. His tests are not consistent at all with his notes. The test are also hard, you need to study for them and pay attention in class because some of the answers will not be found in the book. The wording is always tricky too. Take his class at your own risk.
This is a super easy class. It is very helpful to attend class and take notes (especially on the court cases since he is a lawyer). The only thing is is that he gets off on stories all the time and likes to talk about sports (which I have no interest in) which made the class VERY boring. 2 tests in class (beginning and final) and two online.
Don't Do it!!! very confusing... Dr Jackson is very entertaining but his lectures become confusing and methodically boring... His tests are very difficult although there are only 4 ..if you take his class you will learn the hard way
EASY A if you have any government or history common sense. I only showed up to class every now and then and got a 100 for the semester. If you have a hard time listening to his lecture, just read the book and you will do fine. Very nice guy, liked him!
I took Dr Jackson's class in a MayMester from 5:30-9:40pm. Needless to say most would have been falling asleep but not with Dr Jackson. He was very knowledgeable and very interesting. I would take his class again if I had to...but I don't because he made it so interesting that I made a very high A in the class. Thanks Dr Jackson
Dr. Jackson is an amazing instructor! He is an attorney and knows his material well and makes it very easy to learn ad understand. His test couldntget any easier and he helps you with your study guides if you need it. Definetly rec to take him for gov't! Easy A if you just study!
He's a very smart and funny teacher. His lectures are long, but if you listen to what he says, it will help you in class and in life. As long as you study, you'll get an easy A.
He is such an adorable penguin. He says you'll need the book, but you won't ever use it. All the notes are online just print them off and bring them to class to add anything extra he might say. He also gives you reviews for the test. All the questions on the review are on the test, so as long as you do the review and study, easy A.
Easy A. Attend the lectures for clarity on the information, read the chapters, and do the reviews! Exams are word for word from the review so study the questions! 4 exams 25 points each so usually 25 questions with almost always extra questions for bonus. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
What an amazing teacher. Does everything he can to have every student earn an A. He provides chapter notes and practice exam questions online for students. Mr. Jackson is great at giving lectures on the fundamentals and running of government. He just makes understanding our complicated and massive government easy and interesting.
Easy A, come to class, do your test reviews and you will get an A. His lectures are hilarious. He is also very helpful. He post grades Immediately. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
His class is very easy. I did not have to use the book. Just come to class and do the test reviews and you will get an A. He is very nice, and he makes some really funny comments. However, he does get off on random topics and can be hard to fallow. But if you want a easy government class his is the one to take.
Very nice guy but it's hard for to stay on subject
Study the exam sample questions and you will do great on the tests. Class is mostly lecture but he has interesting stories sometimes.
Dr. Jackson is one of the most knowledgeable men I've ever met. Yes, he does go off subject sometimes, but he knows so much about politics. You get 4 exams throughout the course worth 25 points each. No papers. If you study the review you will get an A. I wish he was teaching TX GOVT, I would definitely take him again.
Dr Jackson is the best ever! Just go to class and more importantly do your exam reviews as he uses same question for exams. 4 exams in total. Grades published immediately. Easy A class
Dr. Jackson is HILARIOUS like you wouldnt think a gov class to be fun but he makes it soo understandable by giving modern examples that relate to our lives and it actually helps you remember concepts. His teaching style is great. Exams easy, Passed with a perfect 100. He has a place in my heartcollege career, hes the best professor Ive had.
Mr. Jackson is one of my favorite professors because he knows what he is teaching and loves doing it. He is very funny and very easy professor to have. His Exams are mirrored with his reviews, I made 100's on all of them! Lectures make sense and not boring at all! Totally recommend!!!
Great class learn a lot, 4 test all semester.
Total of 4 test, no assignment, no homework, no quiz. Easy A if you do the review he post up online. Review is exactly like on the test and in order. He put extra question on test, which is meant for extra credit. You can find the review question answer online or ask him. He will tell you the answer. Most are all of the above.
4 test worth 25 points each. He does give out test reviews which are very easy! And the test is EXACTLY like the reviews. HE does curve his tests too so it's the easiest A+ you'll ever get! HE's hilarious and so adorable
Mr. Jackson knows his stuff, sure his lectures are a little long but they are related to his experience that leads into the material he teaches. He knows his stuff and his test are pretty much easy. Just do your part on completing the test question samples ahead of time and study. The question samples are the same as the test.
Professor Jackson is an awesome teacher. I would recommend him to anyone especially to my closest friends. He gives an outline and review questions for the test. He is VERY easy. Easy A. Please choose him for your Federal Govt Class. I took him during the summer and received an A in his class.
Professor Jackson is the BEST history teacher EVER. His reviews are just like the test. Easy A. I took his summer Gov course and his reviews and tests are straight forward. The few times is showed up class I enjoyed his lectures.I myself, hated history and knew nothing about it but ended up making an A. TAKE HIS CLASS. YOU WILL MAKE AN A
Wish Dr. Jackson also taught TX Gov. I checked. If every professor were like him, I'd graduate top of my class with ease. In HS I was a below average student and now more than 20 years later I get a 103 out of 100 in my Fed-Gov class. WOW! He post grads right away, reviews the exact test questions and stayed after to review several times.A+ Teacher
Best History teacher i've ever had! He can TALK! But he's entertaining and laid back. His 4 exams are exactly the same as reviews and are either curved or given extra credit. My first one I got a 1025 so about a 40(didn't do review) and I still left his class with an A. I took his night class and everyone was woke and active which speaks volume.
He's really funny, class was long but interesting. He throws a lot of jokes out. Only 4 tests, the reviews are the tests. Gives you outlines for each power point (each chapter). What I did was just do my notes on the outlines, which was easy cause he goes over every point. I never rly used my book, I suggest you don't waste your money. share books!
He posts review questions online and powerpoint outlines. show up to class to get the information you need to complete those reviews and you are good to go. He does take attendance so its very important that you go to class. Tests are very easy if you study. I would definitely recommend taking him.
Amazing professor. I truly enjoyed his class. You only have 4 test the whole semester and he hands out reviews and will go over them. He is funny and can sometimes wonder off topic but overall he will get back to the point. Good class to take. Would recommend.
Take this class! I loved it! Best Government Proffessor out there! Best teacher ever loved the way he taught he was very nice and kind to his students. He is so funny!
Awesome Teacher! I loved listening to his lectures and learning. It may help that I love government and politics,though. I would definitely take a class of his again. He gives you reviews and the questions are right off of it. Super easy A!
As long as you show up for class you won't miss out on his lectures. He is a great professor! He is for everyone passing. Do the study questions he gives you and you will do just fine. He adds humor to his lectures. I enjoyed his class.
Dr. Jackson is lawyer who will tell you jokes and a lot about his life. You will know more about his life than the course itself. Homework assigned are reviews for the the test. The tests are very easy. He starts late and will go over the time. He will call role; that takes up 5-15 minutes. He will bing while lecturing. Easy, jokes gets old.
Only has 4 Exams. I wish I never bought the book, all the answers are online( Quizlet) Just make sure you study. If you ask him what the answers he will give them to you. Review is Exactly like the exam literally word for word. If you don't show up on the day of exam he lets you take the exam on the following class. Easy A you wont regret
Professor Jackson's class is very easy to pass. You have 4 exams, including the Final. You can find the answers on Quizlet. The exams look just like the "Sample Questions" he posts on Blackboard. He is pretty funny and his lectures are not bad. He is very understanding and works with you.
He gives you the test questions ahead of time. Super easy and he is pretty funny. I didn't use my book once so I wouldn't get it . He tends to go off on a tangent but he has good stories and makes it pretty interesting
Cool teacher. His tests are just like the reviews he posts. Do them and study them and you'll def pass!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Do his reviews and you will pass with an A!!! He is entertaining. Try to take his class. He will say the book is required but you will not need it.. I promise.
Very good teacher cares a lot about his profession. Attendance is mandatory in his class. Gives reviews to his test. The test are the same as his reviews. You will learn alot.
Mr. Andrew is one of the greatest teachers I've had. He was very informative and super funny. His class is super EASY!!! I highly recommend taking his class. He uses reviews for exams so the test are pretty easy if you study. I loved his class so much I made sure signed up for the second session of government that he's teaching!
If you don't care about gov't then take this class. 4 exams entire grade. Review is exact same as exam. I learned nothing. But on the upside, his stories are funny!
Mr. Jackson is a very funny teacher. I didn't care too much about government before taking his class. I learned alot about where and what my money is being used on. He gives reviews to the test. 4 exams and a final. His exams are the same as his reviews. No need for the book all the answers are online and he will answer questions for you as well.
Dr. Jackson was an amazing instructor. I enjoyed his class and I will be taking his History class in the Fall 2018.
The BEST!!! This professor understands how to prepare a student for the future. Lectures and experiences are real! Go to class, you will always learn something new. This is the most i've learned about Government ever! The professor's goal is for you to be informed and He does a fantastic job. Take this class with Professor Jackson he has no tricks
His test questions are straight from the review. Didn't need to attend class to pass. Can google all the review questions online. But he is helpful with any questions you have. Also tries to make class entertaining and funny.
This professor is a classic lecturer. He only gave 5 exams for grades, so if you study the reviews and the material you will do well.
Mr. Jackson is one of the best professor's I've had. He is a little boring at times, but he knows his stuff. Three exams and a final. Show up for class and you'll get an easy A.
Took his class Fall '17, attendance isn't mandatory but it helps to show up to class for his lectures. He adds on more information than what he has on his powerpoints so take notes, it'll help on the reviews for each exam. Don't need the book so don't spend money. 3 exams and 1 final, super easy if you do your reviews.
Funny professor and doesnt require attendance to pass. We have 60% of our class miss almost every period except test days and they still passed, the exams are available through blackboard and can be accessed and studied whenever. Super cool professor
Fed Gov't Sumr '18; he's always late, slides are grammatically incorrect, slides have incomplete thoughts, the test reviews are multi - choice but hard to locate the correct answers because the answers are based on his opinions not actual book references or power points. It's strange but I've never had to spend so long searching answer.
I took professor Jackson over the summer 1 session and it was a piece of cake. His tests are the only assignments in his class. The reviews are identical to the tests but youll still need to look over the review to pass. Although he is constantly late and gets off topic, you can literally skip 70% of his class and STILL pass! Easy A!
Prof Jackson is an easy A, he is amazing and know his material.
Mr. Jackson was one of my favorite professors! He uses his humor to keep the class interested and makes government interesting, even for those who find it absolutely boring. If you take notes and put time into studying, his class will be a breeze!
Really easy, the test reviews are exactly as the tests. Attendance not really mandatory.
He was awesome, super funny and made the class interesting. By far one of my favorite professors. 11/10 would recommend
Really enjoyed this class his lectures were interesting.
He is the best professor! He is simply amazing, caring and hilarious! His lectures are interesting and you learn a lot. Took this class during the summer. There were 4 test no homework. Book was not mandatory or needed to pass. Study the power points and do his test reviews. He adds bonus questions to the test for extra points. Take Him!!!
great teacher would take again for any other class. Easy A and the test questions were in the review.
His Govt 2305 class was super easy but very boring I honestly learned nothing because he would get off track a lot but if you want a federal govt credit he would make it be an easy A if you study the reviews of course. 3 exams 2 easy projects and offers a one time chance of extra credit.
Super easy! I never showed up. His only grades are tests and the review is identical to the test. Easiest A Ive ever had.
Professor Jackson is absolutely hilarious! He's an amazing professor, and this is a super easy class. He gives an extra credit opportunity, 3 tests and the final, and two projects. This class is very very lecture heavy, and sometimes he does get off topic. However, come to class, take notes, do the reviews, and you'll get an A.
TAKE HIM!!! Litteraly easiest class ive EVER had. Entire grade is based on 4 exam grades, he does some extra credit questions on one of the exams. The reviews are exactly the test litteraly. If you attend class & pay attention you can still learn alot. but showing up is not required. Just memorize every answer on the review and your good. Easy A
Easiest class ever! Your grade are based on 4 exams. Exams are exactly like the reviews. Take Mr. Jackson for an easy A.
One of my easiest college courses! reply to discussions each week and do the test review and youll receive and A! most questions on the review were mirrored on test. TAKE THIS CLASS!!
Only 4 tests make up your entire grade. All questions are straight from reviews. Do the reviews, easy A.
Only 4 tests make up your entire grade, HOWEVER the test questions come from the review, so if you do the review it should be easy to pass.
