Comment:
One of the most memorable professors at UPG. Dr. Gibson really made me think, and influenced my thinking. Even after twenty years later I still remember his lesson, his passion, and how he dived into the subject matter. Happy Retirement Dr. G. and thanks for giving us your best. You believed in what you taught. Never missed a class.

Do NOT take his classes. In fact, run far from away from him. He is so confusing, you walk out of class asking yourself "what???" alot!! It was a total waste of time, did not get anything out of his classes other than he thinks George Bush is an idiot. Wow!

He's a LaRouchie. Compare his ideas to those in New Solidarity, Executive Intelligence Review, Campaigner Publications, etc. and you'll see the pattern. (Googl for Lyndon LaRouche if you're not familiar with them.)

Avoid this man at all costs! I learned nothing but his opinions about how the current generation is nothing but a bunch of druggies that are ruining the world. Worst prof so far!

No assignments besides two or three exams in all of his courses. He's probably one of the most interesting professors I've ever had, in spite of his odd sense of humor. Go to class, pay attention, and take reasonable notes, and you'll be fine.

Comment:
Although the structure of his classes are confusing, this class made me think a lot about real-world issues. He has keen insight but does assume that everyone knows what he is talking about which is not always the case. Also, apparently the band SLAYER is the reason kids are violent, do drugs, have sex, etc.

Terrible professor. Refuse to take any more classes by him. Class is based upon things he makes up and portrays as true, spends all class everyda complaining about productive people in society.

Very good professor. I took 4 classes of his. I'm not an A student and I got B's and C's in his class, but the things I learned I have carried with me in life in general and other classes. Just be chill and read some of what he tells you to read and you'll be fine.

WORST PROFESSOR EVER. Took him twice, failed the first time. SO many notes and none of them make sense, reading wont help you too much either. Don't ask for help either,don't even ask if he knows anyone who understands whats going on so they can help you instead. He ignored me once and the second time he basically told me to stop bothering him.

Best professor at UPG, if you want to actually learn something at this school take a class with Dr. Gibson. Unlike most professor's he has a mind of his own and teaches what he believes. Favorite professor at UPG.

This class is insane. Don't bother taking notes because it is pointless and there are only 2 exams so if you screw one up you have to drop it pretty much. GO TO CLASS, he doesn't take attendance but you miss SO MUCH! just read read read and study your pants off. i do NOT recommend this if you don't have to take it. if you do, good luck.

Obviously very passionate about what he teaches, this is one of the most dynamic and thought provoking classes I have had while at UPG. He expects the reading assignments to be done, and likes class participation. A must to meet any of the soc requirements for graduation, or just for general interest.

I can honestly say that I never knew what he was talking about and that his tests were in NO way relevant to the material covered; however he was EXTREMELY nice and would always be more than happy to answer your questions and do whatever he could to help you...this class just wasn't for me, but i gotta hand it to him for trying to help!

Comment:
this teacher is absolutely dumb and ignorant to politics. during his lecture about the constitution (which is as far as i got in the class before dropping it) he gave the class wrong information about the constitution and when I asked him about it, he told me that i-and every teacher who taught me what right information- was wrong. ctnd
