Comment:
Dr. Gamble is an incredibly bright and sophisticated individual. You may be intimidated in the beginning, but his class is overall on the easy side. The more you attend and participate, the more he will like you and the easier he will grade your work. The majority of his test and quiz questions are essay/short answer, so stay on top of things!

Comment:
As far as clarity, he can be very confusing and hard to follow. He goes on rants and doesn't always complete thoughts. However, the class was relatively easy and fun. If you know the main ideas and people, you'll get a good grade. The education is useful if you get the main ideas. The quizzes/tests were easy to somewhat easy, the final was hard.

Comment:
He's an okay teacher but he is a much better person. His lectures are confusing, often completely unrelated to class (peanut butter and pencil rants come to mind), and it is very difficult to figure out what he is asking of you. However, he does keep the class interesting with current events and stories from his past. Show up & class is an easy A.

Comment:
I think people who are rating Dr. Gamble seem to prioritize grades over his personal character. I agree Dr. Gamble's test and quizzes are a bit weird and may cover random stuff he touches upon, but this is because he doesn't believe in tests and only makes them because he is required by the school. He wants to teach, and he teaches a lot.

Quality guy -- very funny, personable, and interesting. Easy class to pass, too. However, little to no information is learned in his class. Peanut-butter and pencil rants far outweigh worldly matters.

Not recommended. Talks about peanut butter and shovels rather than anything related to the course. Random stuff on tests. Had a student who was not a TA hand out grade reports (Um, privacy?). Avoid if possible.

Boring class, not interesting, don't really need to do anything to get a B in the class, but goes over small details that will not be on the test, puts the most random things on tests, do not recommend taking his class

I'm interested in the information, but the group aspect sucks. I like to be able to take notes and then a test, not sit with a group everyday. Not good at all. He's a funny guy though.
