Dr. Gibson is a great professor and a wonderful human being. He cares about his stduents and actaully makes class enjoyable. Three exams, two take home and 10 written repsosne papers on assigned readings, this class was not stressful at all. I'll be taking another class with Dr. Gibson in the spring becuase of how good he is. Highly reccomend!

I took this class as a non-communications major. I am surprised to say that this was my favorite class in my time @ Mason. Professor Gibson is a real gem and a personable professor. He makes class enjoyable and calls on the participation of the audience. Down to Earth and is an avid gamer which is a huge plus.

His lectures are amazing and keeps the material interesting. He is very much invested in his students success. You have weekly papers based on articles and chapters from books he has assigned. They are pretty simple because the papers only needs to be a min of a full page. Tests are a bit hard, but if you listen during class, you'll pass.

He is a hard grader who failed me in the exams and I did not understand his lectures. His exams are hard and he word it differently from his power point slides and the readings. If you did not take any theory class before, do not take him.

Prof. Gibson makes this class engaging and fun. There 3 exams (2 take home), 6 short response papers, and one final big paper. His guidelines are clear and the material is fun so it's an easy A if you come to class and do your work. But coming to class won't be a problem because it is fun material and you'll want to come! Highly recommend.

I seriously love Tim. He has been there for me through my entire time at Mason. M.A. advisor, PhD comps committee, you name it - he's done it. He definitely has challenged me to be a better scholar, and is no joke one of the best teachers in the Mason Comm department. I've taken him for several classes, and I promise you won't regret it.

Clear lectures and assignments. The assignments aren't difficult but there are a lot of them so avoid missing them! Tests were clear and Gibson is willing to talk with you and help out if you're struggling. Gives good analogies which are easy to relate to. If you aren't a group person, be aware that you have permanent groups in his class.

He is a really genuine,funny, and nice teacher who cares about his students. He assigns a good amount of reading but they are interesting reads. Sticks to the syllabus, gives some take home exams, shows clips of movies and tv shows to support his lectures and conducts whole class &small group discussions.

Gibson is a great professor. His lectures are more like storytelling which keep it interesting! He is always very prepared for his lectures and you really get what you're paying for with him! He is also hilarious and loves using personal experiences to better explain the material. He is very easy going and is willing to work to help his students!

I loved professor Gibson. His lectures were always very informative and entertaining. The only rough part is that he makes you do a response paper on articles that are super long every week.

AMAZING professor. This was potentially my favorite class at Mason. He's a wonderful person, teaches well, very patient, and just all around a nice guy. 150% recommend to anyone even vaguely interested in this course. I'm going to try to take his COMM 400 class when the time comes. :)

Such a sweet, funny, intelligent guy. He's really passionate about teaching and media. Get him started talking about Rush.. It's hilarious! He's a huge nerd but I think that's part of the appeal. Very helpful and encouraging, and knows how to get and keep your interest. I skip classes when I don't feel engaged, but I never skipped this one.

One of the best professors I've had yet. Really funny and relaxed guy, who really enjoys a good laugh, so if you have some jokes let 'em rip! Class was interesting, and we get to watch a lot of t.v. shows and youtube videos which was a plus. Most readings aren't from the book, but rather from articles he puts on blackboard. Overall great prof.

Gibson is a really sweet, nice guy, and a very helpful professor. 400 wasn't my favorite class and his teaching can get repetitive, but he really cares about his students.

Great professor. He does everything he can to help you understand the material, including outlining exactly what he wants out of papers, presentations..etc. Very clear and sweet guy. He's kind of a nerd, but it makes the class interesting.
