Comment:
Don't take a class with Gibson! She will cuts you off in class discussions to inject her own opinion, which is really just pure fluff and she's only happy if you regurgitate stuff that she likes. No clear grading scheme or weighting system and can never justify her grades. A very frustrating class - don't waste your time. Worst professor ever!!!!!!

Comment:
Every question Rebecca asks has a right and wrong answer. This makes class discussions frustrating at best and painful at worst. She's more critical than encouraging of students' writing, and you can show her the exact same poem and get completely different feedback depending on the week. If you really want to write poetry,take the other professor.

Comment:
The class itself is good if you love poetry, but Rebecca is not one to foster creativity or exploration as much as I would like. She prefers to criticize rather than embrace your poetry and is judgmental. As a whole, if you love poetry (and you're very good), she will love you and you'll like the class. If not, the class will be irritating for you.

While the class is fun, Rebecca is a little limited in her ability to appreciate different forms of poetry. If she doesn't understand why you did something in a poem, she will quickly reject it.

Comment:
I have never had a teacher throw more USELESS assignments at me than Gibson. She is pretentious and rude, and her "creative writing poetry" class rarely has anything to do with WRITING poetry. Avoid her at all costs she will do nothing but frustrate you and waste your time.

Comment:
professor gibson may be the most uninspiring poetry teacher i've ever encountered. she assigns poems to read, then probes us to discuss them in a right/wrong format, and gets frustrated when students don't regurgitate her opinions. also, she's useless when it comes to your poems. take with a different professor to avoid wasting a semester.

The discussions in class ended up being pretty interesting but that was more to do with the people in the class than Prof. Gibson. She was nice but not always the most helpful when you were trying to understand a grade you got. Some of the reading seemed pointless.
