He is a great teacher and loves interacting with students. His lectures are long, but he adds alot of his personal experiences to them, which makes them very interesting. I recommend everybody take a course from him.
Cool guy who has personally been to many of the places you will learn about. Makes jokes and sometimes fun of students to lighten up the class. Labs are group and really do help to further understand the lessons.
he's the best!
Very cool and helpful teacher. Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.
He's the best geography teacher. Actually makes it interesting. The class is not hard, as long as you keep up and study for the tests. Makes geography really interesting. AWESOME CLASS!!!
Awesome teacher - funny, down to earth, explains things very easily. Always there to help on homework and labs. Highly recommend!!
really interesting prof-cracks a lot of jokes, explains things well and has a lot of personal experience traveling. prolly best prof i've ever had
The best. Really enjoys the subject he is teaching.I loved this class.
The teacher of the year ;)
One of the best teachers I have ever had. Cool, down to earth, cracks jokes and knows his physical geography. Test are not that bad if you study, lots of extra credit given. Wants everyone in his class to understand the material and get a good grade.
TAKE THIS CLASS! It's an easy A. If he sees you put effort into the labs you get full credit. He makes lots of corny jokes. The tests are pretty easy. I barely studied and got an A. VERY INTERESTING. I recommend taking it during the summer because you don't have to write a paper that you would have to if you took during the year.
the class is very interesting and very amiable everyone gets to participate which makes the class fun
AMAZING TEACHER! one of the best classes I have ever had!!! I would love to keep taking his classes!!!! He loves what he does, make really stupid joke but great guy!
He is an excellent teacher! He loves what he does and he has traveled to all the places he lectures about in class. All of his power points are pictures by him, first-hand! He is there to help and wants to see students pass. He has a great passion for the enviroment and wants his classes to as well. If I could take another class of his I would.
Pretty much the best teacher I have come across at MCC.It's a pretty tough class but he is very helpful. Lot's of extra credit given. He is really passionate about this class, and gets everyone involved.
He's fun and very ardent about the subject and has great stories. he's very helpful when you are having a tough time. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TAKING IT!!!
This professor has been my best college professor. He needs to teach at ASU! He is charismatic and loves to involve every student in the lectures. I took his class during summer school and was not looking forward to it, but I was completely surprised. He is extremely helpful if you are not understanding something and his personal stories make you w
This is the best teacher I have ever had throughout my school career. Very funny guy, cracks jokes and makes fun of people in a nice way to make things lighten up.

Great teacher! Very fun. Has lots of jokes. Has personal experience in the world of geography. Tests are easy if you study and attend class. Good about helping and answering questions.
This was the best class I ever took. Thought it was going to be boring but he made it fun. Offers extra credit definitely do the camping trip! His class and his tests are easy, but you get a lot out of them. He has traveled all over the world and his lectures are pictures from his travels.
Best teacher ever! I was dreading this class and he made it a blast. He has traveled all over the world and lectures from his experiences. Go on the extra credit camping trip it is a ton of fun. You will want to go to class.
Mr. Clinton is very passionate about what he teaches, and has a fun way of teaching.
This professor has a passion for the subject which comes across in his lecture. He has personal stories to add which helps to understand certain aspects of the course. He also is very funny and keeps the class light while still maintaining professionalism .
Recommend him to ALL seeking a fun easy science. His review for the test are extremely helpful. Pretty important to attend class everyday but its not boring! He truely loves his subject and does a great job to get his student to find a great interest in it too. i didnt mind attending this class. by far, my fav.
Truly a landmark exploration of human ingenuity and imagination, scoutmaster Clinton spews forth a fruitbasket of humor mixed with esoteric global knowledge that will remain with the student for a lifetime. Recomend this class for all those who seek better understanding of the where's and the why's that mechanize our planet today.
If you're reading this, You should definitely consider taking any of Philip Clinton's classes. He teaches at Mesa CC, Glendale CC and even Blythe. He is humourous, helpful, and truly cares about the success of the students. Students, wake up and start caring yourself. Go to class!!
Clinton is one of the best professors that I have had in my college career. Prior to the class, I hadn't the slightest interest in geography, but he made me love it! Tests are easy if you're in class and take good notes. He's funny, well versed, and an amazing teacher. He gives you valuable life lessons if you're willing to take them..Thanks Mr. C!
Probably the best class I have taken at MCC. Funiest class as well. You walk out of the class actually learning something. His study guides for the test are very helpful, use them. Participate in class and it will be a blast. He gives students every opportunity to get an A with extra credit. I recommend this class to anyone.
Professor Clinton is very personable, knowledgeable & helpful. His teaching style & lectures are very enjoyable. He provides field trips during the semester which allows students to earn extra points & are fun. Interesting lab activities (5 points per lab). Attendence is important! He is an exceptional teacher in Science. I highly recommend him!
Awesome professor! I was curious about Geography, but this professor changed my views on many things. Definitely recommend him.
Great teacher and a great class. It's important to go to class because there is a lab every time (5 points each). His study guides are extremely helpful. If you go to class, its hard not to do well. All of his pictures in the powerpoints he has taken so that's pretty cool. AMAZING TEACHER AND GREAT CLASS!!!!
Professor clinton has been the most fun and at the same time straight to the point on the subject he teaches. i learned alot in that class and at the same time enjoyed his sarcastic comedic ways of teaching. you could tell that he is passionate about the subject and teaching i recommend anyone who either wants to major or needs geography to attend.
Ya know you're paying to learn something, he is a great educator to learn from. He knows his stuff and clearly wants you to excel in his class. He is fair with his grading. He has a great personality, and for almost 3hrs of class, it makes all the difference. Smart man and a good person. Class participation helps you learn MCC is lucky to have him
"Mr. C" is awesome, if you go to class and study for the tests you will get an A, simple as that. He is a stickler about cell phones but other than that his class was really fun!
Great and Fun person. Really gets you involved into his lectures by fun jokes and comments. His pictures are amazing since some of them he took himself (from traveling around the world). Experienced enough to be able to teach this class.
Good professor. Was recomended by other students, which turned out to be very helpful. Sarcastic teaching style, which made class fun to attend. Although subject matter is not always super interesting, it is taught in a way that makes it easy to understand. Highly recomend the professor.
teacher is way fun and very good at explaining the curriculumn. expect to have lots of fun with his teaching style and his great sense of humor
Mr. Clinton is now my most respected and enjoyed professor of my college experience. Going back to college and having a professor of his stature and expertise was a privilege. This class is enjoyable, and fun to be apart of. Expect to learn in a positive and sarcastic environment where you make your own fate. Tat guy in the back! 2 Thumbs up MR. C!
Mr. C is a fun guy! Very interesting person which made his lectures bearable. He is very experienced and clearly loves his job. Highly recommend taking his class, he cares about his students so as long as you put the effort forward you should do well in the class.
Mr. C's class was super fun and the some times complex material he made easy to understand by using examples the students could relate to. This professor is a master of his subject and more he is a true master of teaching. I've taken many courses and this profesor is at the top of my best profesors list!
Very good teacher. Makes the class very interested. I loved going to the class. Although it's hard, I was not stressed about. He makes learning the information fun. Take the class!
I took GPH-111 just to get my SQ requirement. I got my SQ requirement and so much more. I came out of the class with a whole new outlook. I can not walk or drive anywhere without thinking about what I learned in Mr Clinton's class. I have answers to questions that pondered my mind in the past. I like being able to teach my family, what I learned.
He is an awesome teacher! I didn't think I would like geography, but he made the class fun and interesting! I wish I could have another class with him!
Amazing teacher! I recommend his class to everyone i know.
Mr C. is an expressive teacher. The material is a lot to cover with labs as a support mechanism to see if you comprehend the material from lectures. Test are inclusive and you must study and prepare. Photo recognition is important and you will learn a lot.Be prepared it's a learning adventure.
Mr.Clinton is one of the best professors I have ever had. His teaching method has helped me to not only understand the material, but also enjoy it!
Mr. C is an amazing teacher! If you need or want an elective this is the class to take. He makes Geography very interesting and easy. All labs are group worksheets and simple. Textbook not needed, but he likes you to get it. Grades on labs and tests. Give extra credit opportunites, but you really shouldn't need them. Easy grade is you go to class!!
Lots of fun and learning!
My favorite thing about this class is that Mr. C has a true passion for what he is teaching (as many of the instructors at MCC do.) His enthusiasm makes for a positive and exciting learning environment, and the course curriculum is easy to follow yet comprehensive. I definitely recommend Mr. C as an instructor.
Mr. Clinton is a really good guy and very humerous with a true knowledge of Geography. He has sailed around the world and knows what he is talking about. Can be a little difficult when it comes to tests, but hes a great teacher who wants you to learn! Recommend him but be sure to attend class so you dont miss a lab and study hard for tests!
Mr C is the bomb!!! He is an awesome guy with a great sense of humor. I wish I could take another class of his! Easy class if you pay attention and study. PS Go on the camping trip, it's so much fun and helps get an "A"
Best class I have ever taken at MCC. I learned a lot and if you go to class every day you will not have a problem getting an A. Go on the camping trip it's a lot of fun plus it's extra credit. Win win. I wish Mr. C taught more classes at MCC.
Mr. C is the most amazing teacher ever!!! I recommend him to ANYONE! I got a B in his class and NEVER studied. Wish I could have him every semester! -Gretchen :)
He gives study guides for the tests. Everything he teaches is in the book. Attendance is mandatory. The hard parts are his pictures on the exam. He takes his own pictures as examples for something you've learned, and you're supposed to be able to spot them out. Fun class if you are okay with rude sarcasm - Definitely not a class for the sensitive.
He is a sly teacher. Likes to make sure you know more information than just key words on a multiple choice test. His lectures are entertaining. It's neat that he's traveled all over. Listen to what he says on the first day. Don't miss a lab, and don't miss a test and don't FB in class.
Mr. Clinton is the best professor ive had @MCC.Had no interest in geo prior to attending class.Show up and he will do everything in his power to help you succeed. Lectures are sometimes 2 hours long, but not boring by any means. All the pictures in the lecture were taken by him on his travels and has good/ funny stories to go along with his pics.
Best teacher ive had. True passion for what he teaches and you will leave the class knowing a lot more. Pay attention to lectures and labs, gives study guides for tests. Ask for help, he will make sure you learn it. Ask him about his pictures and his stories from his traveling around the world. Sure to keep you laughing all semester!
BEST TEACHER I'VE HAD IN COLLEGE. THE CLASS IS NOT DIFFICULT. JUST PAY ATTENTION TO LECTURES AND SHOW UP FOR LAB DAYS. HE'S ALWAYS GOT A GOOD STORY TO TELL ABOUT HIS ADVENTURES AROUND THE WORLD. YOU DON'T REALLY NEED THE BOOK BUT IT DOES HELP. HE'S KINDA AN A-HOLE BUT IN A FUNNY WAY. SO IF U CAN'T TAKE A JOKE DON'T TAKE THE CLASS.
BEST INSTRUCTOR EVARR!!!
Mr. C is the best teacher I have ever taken at MCC. A few things to remember:DON'T: text, FB,be late,miss labs, sharpen your pencils during a lecture! lol DO:Ask questions,come to class prepared, and write down notes when he tells you to, especially when it comes to his photos for exams.You will walk away with knowledge that will last a lifetime!
This teacher makes a two hour class feel like a 20 minute class. Not only will you learn a lot, you will have fun while doing so.
Great Teacher! Fun, hip and passionate teacher. Makes the class worth taking alone. My idea of Geo has completely changed after taking this class. Take this class.
Good guy. Pretty easy to learn from if you don't use your computer all the time LIKE I DID. Ask him about the THREE CANADIANS!!!
GREAT teacher but is pretty strict when it comes to texting or talking in class. Mr. Clinton makes everything very interesting with awesome stories that are all relevant to what you are going over in class. He will tell you what will be on the test so if you miss it, thats your problem for not studying the material. I highly recommend this class
Coolest teach I have had yet. Really down to earth, always willing to help. Dude is awesome, funny too. Just make sure you do your work, and go to class! Pay attention and you will pass. All lectures are online. Extremely knowledgable. Take his class!!!
Best teacher ever!! He is really passionate about the subject and more importantly, about his students. He has his stuff together, and uses class time well. I guarantee you will learn. For lectures think, discovery channel, but way better and way more in depth. You will love this teacher and this subject after his class. DO NOT MISS THIS CLASS!!
Good teacher, very funny and has been around the world twice so he knows all the places he is talking about. Take this class.
This professor is one of the best ones I have had! Every day you are in class, you learn something new, interesting and applicable. Take gph111, you will love it!
Great teacher, hands down!!
Awesome teacher. Great guy, makes the class extremely fun and interesting. Learn new things everyday. Make sure you attend labs. Tests were easy. Offers a ton of extra credit. Take this class!!!
Mr. C is really awesome!! If i could take his class again, i would. He is also extremely funny... and will make fun of you, but in a loving way. I cannot remember one day he did not make me smile :)
Mr C is really great. He's kind of like your favorite uncle: he'll tease you, but never meanly and he's very funny. If you don't understand something, he WILL help you. He's a great teacher. I would DEFINITELY reccommend him.
BEST TEACHER EVER!! he is sooo funny and down to earth and sarcastic, the whole class almost cried on the last day plus he offers a TON of extra credit for no reason not to mention a $30 GRAND CANYON TRIP (all inclusive)
Mr. C is the best teacher you'll have! Funny, easy to understand, very helpful! You don't need the book and he offers a lot of extra credit. Easy to get a hold of and will take the time to make sure you understand. If you need a science credit TAKE THIS CLASS!
Mr. Clinton is a very knowledgable professor. He knows his material and has traveled the world. His lectures have great pictures and is easy to understand. No homework, just studying material. I would definitly recommend his class, you won't be disappointed!!
Very helpful teacher who knows how to keep his subject interesting. He is funny and likes to add sarcasm to his teaching style. One of the best teachers I have ever had. I highly recommend his classes.
Very helpful! If you show up for class you are gonna get an A.
Mr. C is the BEST teacher I have ever had at this school. He's hilarious and actually cares about his students learning! He will do whatever it takes to make sure you understand subject. Come to class, study for exams and you will get a good grade. Offers extra credit. We were all sad last day of class because hes such a great guy. TAKE THIS CLASS!
Mr. C is awesome! The class is pretty intensive, and you have to work to get the A, but Mr. C. does whatever he can to help you out. He tells you to get the book, but he covers everything you need to know in the lectures. If you read the powerpoints beforehand, he won't even know you don't have it. Overall AMAZING Teacher, who loves teaching.
Mr. C is an awesome teacher and a great guy! He understands that he teaches a "boring" subject and he makes it as fun as he possibly can. He cares about his students and will do anything to make sure you understand the material. He gives really good extra credit opportunities. Just come to class, take good notes, and do the work.
Mr. C is probably one of my all time favorite professors! He really takes a geography and makes it fun to learn and understand instead of being boring and dry. Great class, very helpful in explaining when needed, and interesting labs. Very relevant to life, especially if you are not a science major. Also, GREAT sense of humor, which I loved!!
This was by far my favorite class this semester. I learned so many things that I never knew about the world. The topics are very interesting and he has so many great personal stories. It is definitely a class worth taking! As long as you listen, take good notes, and do the labs you will do great.
He is really great at teaching. He knows all of what he talks about. He shares experiences and really works well with students. Funny guy in class too.
I absolutely loved being in his class! So educated on the subject, he really puts a lot into his teaching and it helps you remember the material. Always be there for lab days and the better notes you take the better grade you will get on the exams. First exam is by far the hardest but they do get easier. Funny and outgoing - TAKE HIS CLASS!
Maybe the best teacher I have ever had. Class is not that difficult if you take advantage of all the extra credit offered. He will make you interested in the topics he is teaching you about. I highly recommend his class.
great teacher opens your eyes to the world and he might make you want to change your major to geography
Mr. C is super into the subject a d he knows thoroughly what hes teaching and he makes it exciting. Hes super fair and gives out tons of extra credit to help boost your grade! Mr. C is my favorite professor of all, super inspiring and everything a college professor should be.
This teacher is by far one of the best teachers at VC. He is hilarious and his lectures are fun and interesting. The homework is all online and due the night before the test. Just show up to the lectures and you should get a good grade in the class. BEST TEACHER AT VC!
Mr.C is one of my favorite professors at VC! He is extremely helpful and crystal clear. I would take him again!!
Made geography fun and extremely interesting lectures
Mr. C is awesome. He's funny and sarcastic, and really keeps it interesting. Plus he's been EVERYWHERE. I had the opportunity to go on the field trip this semester (he puts one together every semester) and it was nothing short of amazing. If you apply yourself, and study for your exams you'll do great. Highly Recommend!
