Comment:

At first you will think that Gibson is quite a boring professor. However, if you listen to what he says he will get you through this course with a good grade. He always tells you what he is looking for and he is a very fair marker. Always go to class he always drops helpful hints about essays and the exam. I deffinitely recommend him

You write a lot of essays but you learn so much because he gives excellent feedback. He marks fairly and you know what is expected of you. He also has a kickass beard.

I didn't learn much from him, it was more him directing you to the writer's guide for help. Harsh comments with no intention to help you.

Had to take this course. HATE ENGLISH. Gibson really helped me! although his lectures may have been a little dry, he was an interesting person and really wanted his students to do well. Attend the class and do what is asked and you will do well! I hate English and am awful, but i ended up with an A and can see an improvement in my writing! Cool guy

Is this man a closet anarchist?Anyways, he was a super rad prof. Show up to class, and give the in-class essay a try and you should do pretty well. All the topics he chooses to write on are interesting. Overall, awesome english prof!

taking this class will be the least thing i will do in my life bcz all the things he talk about is opinions. however, take care of your grammar all the time and the "MLA" format on the research paper, then u will be happy with your mark~ good luck~~~~

Comment:

It's one thing to teach English, it's another to force upon students your evironmental views. First four essays done in class have been environmental. Perhaps he could be an advocate for Green Peace, however I don't think teaching English is your fortitude. Wicked-awesome goatee though

Comment:

Was the biggest waste of my time. We spent NO time doing MLA and APA formats yet on the final essay you will get killed because you didn't use the "right format" avoid this teacher if you can. I feel i have not improved AT ALL since the beginni
