Reviews of professor Donald Gibson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Gibson is great for people who are comfortable with math. What I mean by this is, he doesn't really grade stuff, at least not in a "timely manner," so you will spend most of the semester not knowing what your grade is. He gives out weekly assignments (just about) with a midterm and final. He is gentle, though, so don't worry.

Professor Gibson is a great professor who really cares whether or not his students understand the material. He replies to emails promptly and very in-depth. He also has a very entertaining sense of humor and he is quite encouraging. I highly recommend taking a course with him.

Best Prof ever! This is my second class with Gibson. Asynchronous class so no attendance, homework every Saturday, and you are able to work ahead. Test every other week or every three weeks, no harder than homework. And he drops your lowest test grade. Highly recommend Gibson for high-level math!

Gibson is a great teacher and you can tell hes super passionate for math. I do have to say the online math homework was annoying because of the due dates. We were affected by covid19. There are quite a few tests. We did 1 project because of the online switch. Hes not into recording lectures. he preferred zoom, but wasnt mandatory. Dont slack.

Gibson is one of the most easy-going math profs I have ever had. I took the hyrbid format, so all of the tests and homework were online while lectures were in person. Tests and homework had multiple attempts per problem before submitting for a grade. Gibson really wanted everyone in the class to know and feel comfortable with one another.

He is a great professor. He's hilarious and is truly passionate about math, you can tell. There are quite a bit of tests, every two weeks and no homework which sucks if you do bad. Overall great teacher! Really cool guy!

Gibson (who prefers to go by just Gibson) is one of the best prof I've ever had. He is caring about his students actually understanding the material, and passionate about math. He is super easy to talk to and will always try his best to help you with any questions you have. He also encourages the students to get to know each other and work together

The tests are way harder than the examples shown in class. The material for the homework was not covered until the day before it was due, so there was a lot of self teaching. No curves on the test, and the class averages were around 50%. By the last week of class, there was only 9 students showing up that had not dropped the class.
