Comment:

I took this class out of interest. After being in this class a few weeks, I lost interest. There is ALOT of reading involved in this class. I did not enjoy this class because the prof. was very soft spoken, very monotone, all the time. And notes were taken all day every class, and I'm a very hands on student. I'm failing miserably. AVOID THIS CLASS

Comment:

Gibson openly prides himself on how many students he can fail each semester. I'm a fulltime student with a 3.0 GPA, and my experience with him is still seared into my mind as the most unhelpful one of my student career.

Comment:

I got an A in this class, but found it extremely boring, he is monotone and actually expects you to read ahead of the assigned reading, and if you don't he makes snyde comments. But no term paper and quizzes are right from the book so very easy once you get the hang of the quizzes.

I dont even know where to start! This teacher was looking to fail everyone and anyone. he expects the text to be read before the first class. tests are a jake.Tests are badly worded and confusing; he scatters the subjucts everywher. not help full. uncomprehensable. uninteresting. a waste of time and money. if u can take your class with Waugh.

Terrible....just terrible. He doesnt tell you what is going to be on the test he just tells you to read the chapter, and the parts he reads from the book isnt on the test! He is monotone and mostly reads from the book.

Well lets just say I hate this man. Do not take the class! Has no real interest in teaching. Rather he does it to fill his time because he has failed as a writer.

Comment:

Hmm... how can I say this? The lectures are... Not scintillating? A sleep aid? Less than animated? I'm sure he's a nice man, but he seems bored by the very words he's saying.

Comment:

I don't know why everyone dislikes him. I thought his class was pretty good. He basically asks nothing of the students. 3 straight multiple choice exams...not too hard. He spoon-feeds you the information so you don't even need to read the text book.

Comment:

Very, very, very boring. teaches strictly out of the text with no examples of his own at all. No discussions of any sort. Classes were 3 hours of all lecture, monotone...he would sit at the podium in front of the class the entire time. Tests aren't so bad if you study the text, classes are worthless though.

I took this ITV and all I have to say is STAY AWAY from this man!!! He wants you to fail! He actually laughed when someone called in to ask why the test was so hard, evil evil evil!!! I have a 3.8 GPA and this class is going to ruin it, don't take even if you usually do well in all classes.
