Reviews of professor Kerry Gilbert

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Gilbert is out of touch with how to give constructive criticism. His grading makes no sense and is often on a vague scale. Assignments are given without any prior practice, but then he will make you feel stupid for making mistakes. You have deadlines every other day for assignments that won't be graded for weeks upon weeks.

The most rude and passive aggressive professor I have had in the Journalism program. All he does is go over content that you learned in Advertising PR classes previously. He grades harsh with passive aggressive comments sprinkled into emails, corrections, and lecture. The only good thing he offers is corrections.

He has boring lectures. He grades inconsistently between students. He acts like he is on a power trip in class and tries to be rude and mean just because he can. He doesn't want anyone to ever be right and makes it hard to be successful in this class. Kerry's class has kept me up at night bc I never want to go it's miserable and he is mean to you

He has been the only PR Writing teacher at the University... DO NOT TAKE HIM. It was his first time teaching and the guy has absolutely NO CLUE what he is doing. He grades you for grammar not content... you can be amazing at PR, but won't get an A because of this. He does not explain any assignment, so you are left to figure it out. Avoid him.

Kerry knows what he's doing, but when it comes to grading, he has too much of an ego. His grading criteria is harsh to the point where he is more fixated on tiny details than the assignment itself. You can write a well-written, quality assignment and he'll give you a C-grade because in his opinion, he'd write it differently. Bad teaching imo

Whew. I have never dealt with a professor so egotistical and I'm a senior. Gilbert contradicts himself constantly and then gets mad at students when they're confused. Gives himself the grace he won't give you for his misinformation. Writing/PR skills don't matter in this class. Rude to everyone, speaks to students like they're second class citizens
