Comment:

This man is eccentric to say the least. Walked into his office once to discuss homework and stayed in there for an hour talking about god knows what. I used to think his quizzes were hard until I actually started reading and realized they're not that hard. He gives a lot of extra credit which you can take advantage of. He plays hockey occasionally

Comment:

Gibbons is very Smart. He knows what he is talking about. You are expected to read the book before class and there is almost always a quiz. He gives out a ton of extra credit opportunity so take advantage of it. His class can be boring and he likes to go off topic a lot. GO to his office hours but make sure your put a lot of time for it.

Comment:

Gibbon's a funny and great lecturer. 10 pt quiz at the end of almost every class. Encourages you to read, take notes, and study before class. You will not pass if you constantly skip class (2 pts) or dont participate (4 pts). His quizzes are not as straight forward as he says, but sometimes they are verbatim of the text book. Do extra credit

Gibbons makes you work for your grade but offers so much extra credit and assistance you can easily get an A if you put effort into it. this class really taught me time management and improved my writing so much. he's the best psych professor at CNU and will go above and beyond for his students. the work is worth the bond you get with him

Gibbons was honestly the best professor I've had. He always keeps the subjects interesting. There is a good amount of reading but there are also outlined notes. Loved his class and would definitely take it again.

Comment:

I am not a psych major at all, but I did not mind this class with Dr. Gibbons. You have to come to class since there is a pop quiz almost every day of 5 MC questions (20%). The midterm and final are worth about 20% each and are formatted so that the class average is about 75-80. Part/Attend is worth about 15%. Do come to his office and do the EC.

Comment:

Gibbons is a wonderful professor, but he's not here to deal with whining. He understands that everyone is human, and expects you to communicate like an adult if there is a problem. Quiz at end of almost every class, nothing too hard, best if you read/or at least listen in class. His stories make you all the more interested. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!

Comment:

As my first Psychology class ever, Dr. Gibbons made it nice to be able to grasp the material being taught. But his testing methods were completely insane. There were quizzes practically every class, that were formatted the wrong way purposely. The two tests: midterm and final, will absolutely kill your grade. Do all the extra credit you can!

Comment:

Fairly difficult quizzes every day and expects you to read, take notes, and thoroughly know the material before EVERY class. There are only two tests, both very difficult. Very accessible outside class but has a very strong and overly confident personality. The extra credit isnt worth much but you need every bit you can get. Hardest class so far

Comment:

My favorite professor at CNU by far. I took him for 201 and 301. His class is a lot of work but he is so willing to help all his students & gives so much extra credit. He stays at his office for hours after his office hours just to help. You get so close to him especially in 301, and he's a great guy who makes class interesting.

Comment:

Dr. Gibbons can be very in your face at times. I really did not like his teaching/ grading style. having a quiz almost every class was a little tedious. I do not recommend him. One good thing about him is even in a class of 100, he still knows everyone's name.

Comment:

Dr. Gibbons is a very respectable Prof., however, he often loses track of what we're supposed to be talking about. You can clearly tell that he is very knowledgeable on the subject but he, 75% of the time, at least, talks solely about his wife and kids and rarely on the actual topic at hand. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunities - TAKE THEM

Comment:

Dr. Gibbon's taught the first Psychology class I ever took, and I am now a psychology major. He makes you work for it, so don't expect to breeze through his class, but I learned and understood so much! He does give daily quizzes, but you take them right after learning the information, and it adds lots of available points! 10/10 recommend!!

He's very interesting in class. But you need to be prepared every day for a quiz, the class is very quiz heavy. The two tests are awful quite difficult.

Comment:

He was a very good lecturer who made the class very interesting. He goes over the info very well in a clear understanding manner and has an outline so that students can follow along during lectures and he breaks up learning with fun stories about his family. He offers a lot of extra credit opportunities and review sessions for the final and midterm

Comment:

His lectures are mandatory due to his constant (difficult) pop quizzes, but you rarely learn much from the lectures. You must learn your exam material on your own through the textbook. Provides stupid amounts of extra credit to boost your grade because everyone bombs the midterm/final. Pass both exams and do extra credit and youll get a B at min.

Comment:

Dr. Gibbons is a great professor. You WILL need to use the textbook for this class. It is vital to read and take notes on the material before class because he does talk quickly and moves fast. He tells a lot of really great stories. He really cares about his students; in a lecture of 90 students, he knows each one of us by name. HIGHLY recommend!

Comment:

He gives a lot of grades ranging from monthly participation and daily attendance to daily quizzes and exams. The many grades you're given in this class makes it hard to fail as long as you listen during lectures, which shouldn't be hard considering how funny he is and how interesting he makes classes. Office hours are good for getting feedback.
