AWESOME PROF! Came in during the middle of semester and really took charge. Plus, he's got a cute little tush!
Excellent professor. Always willing to help. Explains stuff well.
good one! But, he doesn't know how to advise. He gives out wrong information that can really screw up your program.
likes the ladies. should carry a mirror to admire himself.
No Comments
Pretty interesting guy, but thinks he's all that. Watch out for his tricky tests!
Yes Clint, you really do think you are all that and should probably step down from your pedestal. (some)Students wouldn't be so scared to talk to you or visit your office if you didn't already make them feel stupid in class. Do you think they want to go to your office so you can do that in person??? Love ya.
This guy is full of himself and likes to make others look stupid so he can feel better about himself. One of the worst teachers on campus! Stay away from him if you want to learn something.
Fun class. I was always interested and I learned quite a bit. And despite everyone else's comments, I didn't notice an ego problem.
I really liked this class and I learned a lot. I think he's a great teacher and I never did notice that he had an ego problem.
Good teacher. You will go broke printing out his power point slides. Eager to help and wants you to succeed. If you are decent at Geography, the class is easy.
I personally liked him. Took care of himself, but not full of himself. Taught well, interesting,and no trickery on tests like others said. Down to earth since hes young, and relates to the class. Easy to find and talk to outside of class or in his office. Would take him again.Type of person I could be friends with.
He is extremely helpful and really down to earth. I don't see where others say he has an ego problem. He is willing to help you if you ask him. He really tries to make sure that each student understands all the material. He's not bad to look at either.
He is a nice teacher. I like the fact that he got to gie the students the chance for extra credit very simple. Man those comments abou him are so nasty!! I do not think he is that bad though good class I learned a lot!
good teacher and good looking
I don't know what is wrong with his ealier students, but they must be idiots. He tells you exactly what you should know for each test and his class is very easy if you do the work and make an effort. He is enthusiastic about his subject and draws you into his lectures. Great professor and I don't even LIKE Geography.
Good teacher, passionate about the topic, great lecturer (notes are very clear). The class is easy if you put forth a bit of effort. Requires one four minute presentation from everyone at the end of the year. Tells you what will be on test.
I think Clint is a really good professor. He took a subject that I really didn't care about and made it interesting. I can now chime in on conversations about different cultures. Thanx Clint! I would recommend him to all students who have to take a geography course!
Awesome teacher, presentations graded easily, no papers, interesting videos that tied into class, printed notes from oncourse, easy to follow, complete study guide for every test. And he's my friend on facebook. Cute, but taken. :(
clear on what he expects out of his students, is more than willing to answer any question so the in an understandable manner,and is a very motivated individaul
Awesome professor! Took him over the summer and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Time flew and he is pretty easy on the eyes! Very smiley and involved with his students. Don't care for geography at all but didn't find it hard to get interested or come to class. Would definitely recommend him to anyone! Easy grade! :)
Very passionate. Test are very easy. He gives a very good study guide for the material that will be one the test. The test are short only 40 questions.
Took hybrid class. While in class, made the topic very interesting. When problems came up with the online assignments, he was very helpful. Overall, great professor and highly recommended.
Clint Franklin was an awesome teacher. He was very passionate about Geography. The class lectures are very interesting and are mandatory. The tests are quite easy. A lot of interesting videos were viewed both in class and outside of class. I really enjoyed taking his class. Great professor!
I took his hybrid class he was helpful when needed.
Great teacher! I really enjoyed his class. This class was my favorite class of the semester.
Clint Franklin is the BEST professor I have ever had at IUS. He presents the material in a way you will remember and understand! His tests are simple, ther's extra credit, and it's easy to get an A! LOVED him and his class! Take it for sure!
Great professor! Really helpful, made geography fun! And very nice to look at :)
He is the best teacher i have ever had. I walked in scared on the first day and stuck it through learned so much studied and got an A. He only has four quizzes and a presentation and its easy! He is very passionate and love his job... knows materials. well rounded teaching skills: notes, movie clips, maps, etc. Took a lot of knowledge with me!
Awesome professor. Loved his class, he made is a lot of fun. I can actually say I learned a lot from him. He is very helpful! Not to mention he is hot!
I was a little unsure at first because I have never really taken any geography classes before but Clint really loves what he does. He cares about his students. He wants you to ask questions, send him emails or visit him during office hours. If you make an effort he will remember you. Really consider taking his class, you will learn lots.
If you aren't a straight A student he will treat you bad. He will call you out in front of other students. Clear, organized professor but very disrespectful.
Great teacher! His class only has quizzes but there more like tests. Very easy if you pay attention and show up. Very helpful highly recommended.
I loved this class. It was easy and the material was mostly common sense. Clint is very good at his job and you can clearly see that in the way he teaches and interacts with his students. His main goal is to get his students to understand the material to get an A! He?s also nice to look at. Take his class!!
He is very smart and well organized. He helps most times but if he is busy then you won't get much and/or he is a little harsh in tone. Overall he is laid back and his classes can be enjoyable, especially if you are sitting front row ;)
Not only is he the best professor at IUS, but this class itself is also the best. The subject matter was so interesting and fun! He is such a nice, organized, and helpful teacher. The project assigned is very fun, and the tests are not hard at all. Just as long as you study..& it's easy to study, because the material is fun! I highly recommend him!
Great professor, easy to talk to, and is willing to help if you need it. I strongly recommend taking one of his classes.
GREAT PROFESSOR!! He will help you at ANY time. Just email him and he gets back quickly. I learned a lot in this class and it's not too difficult but it makes you learn the . I liked the way the material was set up online. I would love to take more classes with him. Plus he's hot which makes the class even more attractive...
Awesome professor. Extremely nice and helpful, and really knows how to take a complicated concept and make it simple. I was interested in geography before this class, but I think even if you don't like it he can make it interesting! His class isn't hard, but you'll learn a lot while you're in there. I was actually kind of sad when this class ended.
Great professor but tests can be a bit tricky. Very friendly and helpful.
One of the best professors I have ever had at IUS. He is easy to contact and understands that life happens outside of the classroom. Not an "easy" A but an easy course if the student just does what he expects from everyone. Pay attention to class, take notes, read text, and study! Do this and you'll be fine!
interesting, and truly interested
Very nice and helpful teacher. Reading is required for extra credit but it helps. Class is very interesting and fun. Clint is my favorite teacher I've had at IUS so far!
Teaches with powerpoint. Knows what he is talking about and very interested in his subject. Learned a lot and made me think. One presentation, but he grades easy. Test are multiple choice and map matching. Let''s you call him buy his first name if you want; not uptight at all. Let's you text and use a laptop if you want.
Professor is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about material covered in class. Uses text book as well as power point. Class is easy as long as you attend. Loved this class. Would recommend it to everybody!
He is a very good professor. He cares about his students doing well and keeping them interested. If you ask for help he will bend over backwards to help you as long as you are willing to help yourself. Make sure you read the textbook and the power points. I would love to take this class again or have him as a professor.
His class is easy, and he will do what it takes to make sure you do well. He keeps class interesting and is very friendly and approachable If you get a chance take his class.
Just ask Daddy Clint! He has the answer for all you questions.
Clint is awesome! Great teacher. Test are super easy as long as you pay attention in class and briefly look over the notes the night before. He'll help you with anything needed! Highly recommended
This man truly is God's gift to the geosciences, mankind, and the unattening Intro GIS students
Mr. Franklin is an amazing and energetic teacher! I took the class because I had to, but I am so glad I did. The lectures very interesting. If you try in this class, you will do very well!
Clint was my favorite professor this previous semester. He truly cares about your success in his class. Take good notes, pay attention in class and to the videos shown, and it is an easy AB. He wants you to pass and will make all efforts to make it interesting. He knows his stuff! I would definitely recommend.
Clint is great! My favorite teacher this past semester. He truly wants you to pass and helps tremendously! Easy AB if you pay attention, take good notes, and watch the videos shown. Don't need to kill yourself studying. All material is straightforward. No reason not to pass with a good grade!
Clint is awesome! I took him for geography last semester and he made learning about the world so fun. I would definitely recommend him. He explains everything thoroughly and in a way that students can understand. He is always there if you need any kind of help as well. Tests are super easy if you attend class and review your notes the night before
Clint is informative, fun, and actually holds our attention as a class. A great teacher!
I took Clint for Geog-G 201, but it was the hybrid course. You attend every pretty much once a week after the first week. You go over the entire world. It does require some memorization, but if you just study for a couple hours there is no reason to not get an A. I received an A in this class and loved being in the course. Great Job Clint!
Do the homework and understand the concepts and you will pass.
One of the best teachers on campus. He really tries to help everyone do well, and there are no surprises. He turns what could be a very boring class into something very interesting. I would definitely recommend him and take him again!
Amazing professor! He is always willing to help, and makes geography interesting. He was also my FYS professor and he took our college lives very seriously. If you get the chance to take him, do it! He is a great guy.
Clint is a great professor. He is fun and clear about the material. You show up to class, pay attention and you can definitely pass this class easily. One of my concentrations is GIS and I can't wait to take 3 more classes with him!
Amazing class and professor. Definitely take him if you are taking this course.
Absolutely love Clint. Super helpful, always available for help whether it's sending an email at 11pm on Sunday night or meeting up before or after class. I've taken pretty much every class he offers and I'd absolutely suggest him. He's a genuine person and truly cares about his students and their education. Never had a better professor, hands down
Clint is an amazing professor, he is very easy to understand and makes the class very interesting. I wish he taught more classes. I can't say enough good things about Clint.
Best professor I've ever had. Take him for any class you can
Clint was great! One of the best professors on campus! Go to every class or you will miss out on great examples and information! Clint really wants everyone to do well in this course and in their future careers. He makes the class easy and makes sure you understand the processes so you retain each skill! Seriously, take this guy for your class!
Took this class over the summer, it is very easy and lecture is given in a very enthusiastic way to help people want to learn and be engaging.
Pretty good professor, Makes lectures fun and entertaining.
Loved this class! Lectures made the class enjoyable. Make sure you do the study guide and remember your place locations
Clint is one of my favorite professors I've had at IUS. His teaching style really helps you to learn the skills and not just remember them for the test. I've taken three of his classes so far and would recommend him to anyone.
I took this course over the summer and it was condensed and intense. Professor Franklin went above and beyond to be available outside of class to answer any questions and help on assignments, he is amazing. You will have to put in time for this course and keep in contact with him about any problems that arise. Great course, will take him for 438.
Although I've only had him for an online class, he is definitely one of the best professors I've had. He is so understanding and easy going, plus he is organized and the class itself is very manageable with plenty of time to turn things in. Everything is due on the same day each week, which makes planning really easy. He's great!!
Professor Franklin really wants students to learn and enjoy the process of learning. i took this class online and it was very well organized and grading was fair. You will have to work a bit, but you'll learn a lot and as long as you do what is laid out in the assignments you'll get a good grade from him. Tests timed and hard. but not worth much.
I have had Clint for 3 classes, and he continues to be and amazing professor. 438 is a little tough as there is more problem solving involved instead of following "cook-book recipes" in 338. That being said, the course is laid out pretty much the same. I learned more in this class that I can use out in the field and highly suggest this class.
One of the best prof I've taken. I love him so much. He really cares about his students and makes sure that they're always learning.
He is such an awesome professor! Geography is definitely not my subject, but his class was by far, my favorite to go to this semester. He is so respectful and makes learning interesting.
One of the best instructors throughout my entire educational career. Super cool guy. Treats you with respect. Does not look down on students and truly wants to see you learn and thrive in both school and life.
Good professor. Do the study guides and learn the map locations and you will pass quizzes no problem. He offers extra credit pop quizzes (so you will do good if you read) and offers extra points on quizzes. No homework
Clint has some of the best lectures I've taken. He is so knowledgeable in his field and loves to discuss the subjects. He tells it like it is but GENUINELY wants you to learn. 10/10. STUDY THE MAPS
Very chill and easy-going guy. Passionate about the subject and it shines through in his lectures. Lectures are long but interesting enough. As long as you pay attention to his lectures, youll do well in his class.
If you can take this professor for any class do it. He is so kind and caring and makes any difficult topic easy to understand. He is so incredibly helpful and patient and if you don't understand something he will go so far out of his way to help you. I learned so much in his course and simply cannot give this man enough praise. TAKE HIM.
This is probably one of my favorite professors, he was super laid back and easy to get alone with. He understands the everyday struggle of college students and will work with you. He does give homework, but it's not very heavy. His lectures are amazing, however you will have to go to class in order to pass! 0
Mr. Franklin is fantastic. I love his assignments and feedback, though I would like to hear from him a bit more when he thinks you're doing well and doesn't have direct experience with a topic. That is to say, the only complaint I have is that you don't get quite enough of him in a summer course. I'd study the phonebook with him.
he is an amazing professor. he explains everything clearly and is willing to help you outside class. he gives lots of extra credit to help your grade. he makes lectures interesting and fun. i love the class and will def take him again if i can.
Professor Franklin is an amazing professor would highly recommend him, he's knowledgable, respectful, gave lots of extra credit, does a great job preparing students for the exams as long as you do your part by participating and studying, I'm gonna finish with a C but that's not his doing he puts forth more effort as a professor than any I've had
If you have to take geography, take him. As long as you turn in the work, you'll get an A.
Clint is one of the best professors at IUS. His course work is clearly laid out, he is passionate about his teaching career. He can be reached QUICKLY outside of class. Attendance is mandatory, kind of. If you attend his class, he will tell you exactly what is on the test. He makes the class enjoyable and uses real world examples in his lectures.
Clint was probably my favorite professor I've had so far. His lectures are interesting and he gives extremely helpful study guides.
The class itself is very easy. I just kind of felt like he was looking for anything and everything to count points off for which was just annoying. But again, very easy, low stress kinda class.
I genuinely don't know how this dude has so much energy in the morning but it's awesome. Tells you exactly what's on the test and how to get information
Absolute GOAT. I was scared to take GIS at first. After a few lectures, it wasn't so anxiety inducing anymore and I really enjoyed it.
Loves taking Clint's class. You use the book for vocabulary and some test questions. I recommend asking a few people to split up the cost of a textbook and share it. Very fun class and definitely using a lot of the material for the future.
This is one of the only classes where I was upset I missed a class. His lectures ensure the information he needs you to know makes it into your brain. His teaching style is unparalleled, and I take the best notes in his classes. Never be afraid to ask questions or answer them. He tells you exactly what you need for tests.
Cares about his students, put in the effort and you'll easily receive the grade you want.
Great professor who was very passionate about teaching and very kind to help you learn more.
He teaches the same ideas in different regions of the world with solid examples, he cares about the students he teaches and is easily available outside of class hours. A+, 10/10 professor.
