Knowledgeable, forward thinking, and understanding. He's like the dad of all professors - he can be strict, but it's because he cares. He's a super nerd, too. Loves Star Wars, comic books, and Star Trek. Definitely a thumbs up from me.

I was so nervous before I took this class, but Mr. Gayford really helped me out. This class was extremely useful and insightful. Whenever I needed extra help with this class and/or sometimes my other classes, Mr. Gayford went above and beyond to make sure I was on the right track. There is a lot of homework, but its not bad, if you stay on sched

Mr Gayford was the best teacher I ever had. He expects you to do your work, but when he knows you are making an honest attempt, he will help you above and beyond!

I found that he was an arrogant, egotistical jerk that only had intrest in those students whose person art interest where the same as his own. Though his assignments were of a good choice if he did not care for you as a person it was noticeable during crit

Never responded to emails or helped when needed. It was an online class... sure, but he didn't seem to make an effort. WebCT didn't help much either, so he made a website that was never updated...

Teaches a very demanding course in electronic communications. Many students are not ready to deal with the technology that is required to successfully complete the course. It is an online course and many soon realize that they are not ready.
