Very good Teacher. Very helpful and polite

Great teacher! Very helpful. Very cute

I don't have a great interest in English, but I learned a lot from Rebekah and she was extremely helpful. Although I am female, and do not have same sex inclinations...this lady is cute! She's a doll!

Took her class during Summer I and she was extremely helpful. She responds quickly to questions asked via e-mail. She has you work in groups often and gives fair feedback concerning your interpretations of the literature. Read all of the literature assignments as well as footnotes and you shouldn't have a problem in her class. And yes she is cute

Good class. If you fail its because you did not try.

Great Teacher. I thought she was very fair and was always there willing to help. If you are looking for a class that is easy and requires no work this is not the class. If you are looking to learn then this is the class

This teacher will do anything to help you out. She is great!

Good professor. Fairly high expectations but totally fair. Enjoyed her class.

Was a little nervous when I went into this class because of what people said, but I really enjoyed this class. Too many writing assignments, I think that should have been kept for a comp class, but she was helpfull and nice.

Ms. Clinkscale is a great professor. She really knows the material very well. Class was never boring, because she brings a lot of positive energy to class(she's good looking too!). Read the stories before class because the quizzes are pretty difficult. 3 unit exams have mc and in class essays. An A may be difficult to achieve but it CAN be done!

She is a perfectionist.

Willing to help you, but she grading essay harshly, its hard to get an A.

very nice lady. very fair, willing to help. Gave us option of doing rewrite for a higher grade on two of four required essays, also dropped the two lowest quiz grades. Gave one easy option for extra credit. (replaced lowest quiz grade with a 100) you do actually have to do assigned reading and journals (NOT hard).I made an A, I highly recommend

Ms. Clinkscale is a great teacher. If you show interest in the material and are invested in getting a good grade, she will help you create better a better paper, but will not just give you the grade that you want!

She is a great teacher. She was the first college proffessor I have had and I loved her. She is very clear on what she wants and she help you really grow in your english skills. By the end of this course you will be prepared for comp 2

Ms. Clinkscale was awesome! She is always willing to help with your paper and gives you many opportunities for feedback and will always correct it for you! Learned so much in this class i highly recommend it.

she is a very nice prof but she is extremely hard! she will help you out with anything that you need but you have to be willing to put everything you have into that class.

Rebekah Clinkscale is a challenging, albeit enjoyable teacher. Grades are accumulated via several major tests and papers. The tests are composed almost exclusively of reading material. Papers are graded rather critically, however, this is extremely helpful if you're interested in English. Overall, good teacher, and a cute one to boot.

The way she grades is fiairly non-understandable to any student I know the only way i would adivise someone to take her class is ifyou are a pro at writing paper after paper and dont expect for a test to be multiple choice, we are talking test that you have to write 4 or 5 paragraphs for each 8-12 sentences...just not fun atall

I find this Prof. to have a great sense of humor, she is very helpful-but it is a very challenging course. So be prepared to read and write, period!

This is a challeging class, though she is a helpful prof. she has very high expectations and if you don't read or write...get use to it in here!

very nice teacher

I'm still in the process of taking her class. If you study, take notes, read, and show up to class, you shouldn't have trouble passing. She is very clear on her instuctions and always answers to e-mails at a timely manner. It is a very fun class!

She's one of the best English teachers I've ever had. She is very clear and concise and she always seems to be interested in what she's lecturing about. As long as you pay attention and show up to class you will do well! It's a little challenging but it's sooooo worth it!

She has high expectations for students' work, but she makes those expectations clear, and she works with students one-on-one to help with erotic assignments. The quizzes and final exam are simple, so you can overcome a low grade on a writing assignment.

I took Ms. Clinkscale in the spring of 2010. She is an awesome teacher if you are really here to learn. If you are looking for a teacher that is easy and just gives grades, then she is not for you. However for those of us who actually want education for our $$$ then take her. I can still tell you everything she taught in her class. Love her!!

By reading a few of the comments it seems that some of you really do need help in English. Ms.C is a great and helpful prof. she does require alot of work, but all of it is throughly explained and for a great purpose. In the end, you will acquire a whole new level of reading and writing skills to prepare you for the rest of college. I am grateful!

I had Prof. Clinkscale online. There was a lot of writing (which I love) and she could be a tough grader. But if you do the work and follow her guidelines, you'll be fine! I'd recommend her.

Great professor, difficult grader but she prides herself on teaching and that's what I paid for. Would take her again if needed in a heart beat.

I admit, I may have had a bit of a head start on every other student except one, but this was no easy A. Ms. C was very helpful. She helped me to make sense of the ideas floating around in my head before they hit the page. She helped me whittle down my wordiness to a place where I wouldn't lose my readers, and she helped every time I asked. Great!!

I don't know why everyone's insisting this class was difficult. I took this back when I was 16 and easily got myself ranked second in the class with a 98 (there was a lady that had a 99). I'm definitely no super genius, as my 70 in government and economics can attest. To be honest, though, I do agree that she appeared a bit snobbish and arrogant

Tough grader on essays. Fair though. Lots of reading. tests are a easy if you study. Very helpful and structured. Detailed on what she wants out of you. If you want an elementary class take a different prof. but if you want to learn how to be a better writer take Clinkscale. She's amazing! OH yeah-- quit whining and grow up! IT'S COLLEGE!!!!!!!!!

Ms. C. is a great teacher. She grades hard and thoroughly, but she lets you know what she expects ahead of time. She knows her stuff. Not once did she come off at condescending or rude. And she's kinda cute too.

Grades hard, good insight and honestly tries to make you a better writer. Takes a while to grade but reading a bunch of papers and providing feedback takes time.

Absolutely wonderful. The first class we had I knew she was a great teacher. She is very clear with what to read. You should read to make good grades on quizzes and tests but she won't call on you to answer a question, so if you want to discuss the story, raise your hand. I highly suggest taking her.

Mrs. Clinkscale is a bit of a grammar Nazi as she herself will admit but if you go and actually see her in her office with your paper she will help.. I went from a C on my first paper to a A with her help.. I made a A in class and though she is hard you can tell she really loves English and if you try hard you will do fine..

I have no interest in English and I hate writing papers. After I got serious about the class I went from a "F" to a "B" within th last half of the semester. How? Read the material! It was actually interesing. ALWAYS DO YOUR PAPERS A WEEK EARLY AND MEET WITH HER DURING OFFICE HOURS SO SHE CAN REVISE YOUR PAPER PERSONALLY. EASY A OR B.

Great teacher, lots of enthusiasm, and will help if ask and go to office hours. All these poeple talking about she is hard and blah blah blah are wrong, she is what every other teacher should be like. Fair grading, and very clear on instructions.

Mostly the class is fun, but I didn't understand the online instructions for her essays, and they are sooo lengthy! If you go to the writing center, it helps because they tell you what she means in easy words. Don't try doing a paper on your own without the writing center's help if you want a good grade. Journals 2 points, essays 100. big gap

Ms.Clinkscale is an amazing professor .Honestly if you get a bad grade in her class then you did not exhaust every avenue possible.The writing lab helps because they can tell you if your meeting her requirements for you paper.Also go talk to her during her office hours, take your paper and or other ideas.IT WORKS These steps plus Journals equals A+

Take her. Very helpful. She can create time to read through your papers and point out any corrections.Be ready for pop up quiz after a reading assignment. A lot of extra credit work to boost your grade.

Tests and quizes are super easy, must be a good writer or you will fail the writing assignments

She is a wonderful teacher, you just have to make sure you're ready to work. I will admit, I failed my first semester, but the second time around, I did very well. You must, take writing papers seriously, if not, you WILL FAIL! If you need the help, she's more than open to helping you during her off hours.

I enjoyed her class but she's not a cakewalk. I love reading and writing doesn't freak me out. I would not recommend her if you don't feel comfortable in your writing because the essays are a considerable portion of your grade.

I did well in this class but I LOVE reading and have written in the past for fun. She's no nonsense about paying attention in class. Don't take her if you aren't going to pay attention. She will go over your essays before they are due. She expects college level work! Would not recommended her if you have trouble with reading or writing.

Absolutely adored her! She was such an amazing professor and really helped me with all of my essays! She scheduled mandatory one on ones to go over essays before you submitted them and she would help you improve them all the time! Such a wonderful teacher!!

This class was truly enchanting, one because of the passion the professor had for the material and second the dedication/interest she had towards her students in regards to their success. My only regret is that I took this class in the summer instead of fall. Best Professor EVER!

She is a awesome teacher. Clear and a beautiful soul. She is not mean at all. We dont always meet in class but once a week and the other assignment is due online. Take this class if you need comp. 1. the last teacher i had was horrible and made a D. she was unclear and very mean. but ms. clinkscale makes me want to be here no matter what.

Ms. Clinkscale is one of the best English professors that I have taken. If you need clarification on anything all you have to do is ask and she will help you, it doesn't matter if it is over a simple question or quick tips for your essay she is willing to assist. There is quite a bit of reading, but this is an English class. She's awesome, take her

I took Mrs. Grubbs (Clinkscale) during the summer and she was great! She gives great feedback on the reading assignments and on the papers that have to be written. If you are sitting at a B and it can be rounded up to an A she will round it up only if you participated in class. She gives extra credit grades from participation so do not skip class!

She's really helpful, I took her on the summer and despite of the fact that is a short period it was not that bad. If you take her during the summer it's almost 100% sure that she will make you read researches that are at least 25 pages, cause then you'll have a Quiz with only 5 questions. Her class is based on essays and reading.

I took her ENGL 1301 class during summer 2 (6 weeks). You have a paper to write every week but as long as you keep up with the homework assigned every night, its not too terrible. She is very tough when grading essays but she gives a lot of daily and participation grades to balance that out. If you put the effort in, she will reward you

She is a fantastic professor. She loves helping her students and she loves what she teaches. You need to show up to class and do the assignments. She will help you in the writing center or her office. You have to put in a real effort to pass the class and you will do fine. She is always willing to help as long as you do your best.

Not the easiest class. I ended up getting a B, but it was hard work. I took her class during the summer and had an essay due every week (4 essays total). Give yourself time to write your essays! Attend class and participate. She gives good criticism/feedback. She is a great teacher and cares about her students. She will help but you have to ask!

She is a great professor who gives you everything you need to succeed (just read the instructions!). She is very friendly and loves having class discussions so read the homework. Beware there will be pop quizzes, so just do your homework and you'll be fine. She is great about replying to emails and always willing to help you during office hours.

Shes the best!! Everyone has to take Composition, and she is the best choice. The papers in the class are our tests, and outside of class theres sometimes required reading, but the class is overall easy as long as you do the papers.

Great english prof especially if you like writing. She gives 1 on 1 feedback that's actually really helpful. She's lowkey funny af and you seriously will do better if you participate in class. Make sure you meet the deadlines and word counts and it's an easy a!

Attentive and fair professor. She substituted a ton of class times for a 10-15 minute office conference with each student, so you don't have to be in class when there's nothing to do. She uses Turnitin to check for plagiarism on every essay so make REAL sure you don't plagiarize. A few quizzes, but no tests. I loved her class & highly recommend! <3

One of the best professors Ive had at TCC because she cares about her students. She gave fairly easy quizzes often and even went as far as to drop a few if they hurt your grade. She was always very clear on her expectations, offered extra credit opportunities and snacks. :)

A very good professor, very understanding. She wants to give you a good grade, but she also wants you to work for it every time. Every week just be present on the discussion boards and contribute. Instructions are clear in the syllabus coming into the course.

Professor Clinkscale-Grubbs is so awesome. She gives amazing feedback and you can truly tell she loves what she does. Online she still gives credit for late work as long as you turn it in by the end of the semester. Just ask questions and she's happy to help. I would take her class again and again.

She's willing to work with you with just about anything. Has no problem extending due dates if needed and covers the coursework during lecture very well. Never any confusion. Would highly recommend
