Dr. M. Yale
Professor of Government
ACC offers two basic courses in government: one studying the US government and one studying Texas state and local governments. In addition, we offer more specialized courses through ACC's Honors Program. We hope to provide students with a greater
understanding of the institutions and offices that make up each level of government and help students understand why these institutions and offices work the way they do (and sometimes don't work effectively). Finally, we provide students with a set of citizenship skills that allow them to become more
sophisticated consumers of the political world around them.
This website offers links to my classes, useful ACC websites, and some
media and government-related websites. If you are looking for the online orientation for a PCM class, or information about an in-class section, look under the Course Listings banner on the right and click on the link for the course in which you are enrolled or interested.
The quotes below will hopefully provide some thought-provoking
ideas as you begin to think about politics and government.
“Government is a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees; and both the trust and the trustees are created for the benefit of the people." – Henry Clay 1777-1852
“Whatever is begun in anger ends in
shame.”- Benjamin Franklin 1706-1790
