Reviews of professor Michael Giblin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He genuinely cares for his students. He does have a monotone voice which makes it hard to pay attention. People who complain abt him just dont listen and miss the material. Its not that hard if you actually do what you are suppose to do which is listen to his lectures and do the hw and study outside of class.

no partial credit on anything, lectures consist of reading of a powerpoint and asking if we have questions which everyone does because he doesnt teach. He also says take a "break" in class because its a very long class but during the "break" he wants you to work on the worksheets that are due at the end of the week.

His lectures are slide-heavy, but he explains the very BASICS of each concept w/some examples. You'll do a lot of self-study, but the homework and textbook help! If you need extra help there's tutoring or Youtube, and his office hours are always open. His tests are simple-ish so long as you study(!!!) and complete/understand the homework.

We have 2 weeks left in the class and he hasn't even inputted things on canvas yet. You will never really know what your grade is and he is impossible to reach. He never puts out announcements and you will have to just trust everyone's reviews and not take him. He is not that guy

I personally really enjoyed Mr. Gilblin's class. He lectures for 45 min and gives you the rest of the time to work on the homework. Yes, it is a lot but if you use your time effectively you will be fine. He's a great person to talk to and always gives good feedback. The class is heavily curved and his tests follow his study guide. Study and pass.

Great professor, while having monotone lectures, is very enthusiastic about the field of chemistry and is available for extra help whenever you ask.  Understandable workload, was overwhelming for one week approx. then smooth sailing.  Show up to class and pay attention and you'll do great.

He's a cool professor; however, he is very monotone while giving his lectures, so staying engaged is difficult. We had weekly homework, which consisted of about six questions that were confusing if you didn't join the class. Also, reaching him was very difficult since he wouldn't respond to the emails.

Giblin is a good professor. At times he can be monotone & the course is very lecture heavy. If you have a question about the material he is very accessible in class & during office hours, don't recommend sending emails. The homework is a mix of online and worksheets. Exams are very straightforward, but you need to study. Workload is very manageable
