Reviews of professor Eric Gibbons

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Class layout is pretty simple, read a chapter in the textbook, take an online quiz on it, receive a lecture on that chapter, then do an in-class homework on that chapter in a group. If you read the chapter and show up to lectures you'll be fine. He can seem a little aggressive/mad if you can't explain how you got an answer or don't do your work.

Gibbons makes you feel on edge to just sit in the classroom. His reads off of the slides and expects you to know and understand the material. Every question asked comes with another question, and if you give him something slightly wrong, you are given a an idiotic look. Garbage professor. Would have loved the material with a decent prof

I took him for Principles of micro and macro; micro was mostly in person & macro was online asynchronous. Cares about what he's teaching, but it's hard to tell. Lectures are pretty normal, sometimes boring (especially online). It's super useful to read the book chapter before class. With the small HW load, it's your responsibility to study to learn

Honestly, his lectures were not horrid, but because the class is 500 kids, it is very hard to grasp the content. You must go home and review (I did not). Gave out extra credit in class via questions, which CAME IN HANDY for my final grade. If you do better on final than any of the other exams, it will replace their grade; it clutched. Good guy.

Professor Gibbons lectures are very long and monotone. There are two homework assignments for each chapter the first one is easy the second one is not. The Midterms are fair covering 3 chapters each, but the final is all 13 chapters and there is no guidance or review.

If you are willing to show up to class and put in the work you will do well enough to get a decent grade in the class. I'm sure many of the people who leave bad reviews don't show up to class. The material is challenging but he is always willing to answer questions and help students out. The class is hard so there is decent curve.

Very smart, quality lecturer. Attendance was optional, but I didn't miss a single one because the material was heavy and he was good at utilizing the lecture time by teaching pertinent (on exam) material. Very exam heavy. Doing the homework and coming to his review sessions (the class before an exam) were what helped me to get an A.

Loved his lectures & how much he cares about his students.

This class was basically common sense with a few vocab words tossed in. Instructor was hands off, but I got a good grade with a few hours of studying a week, so it wasn't a big deal. Three tests, which have some weirdly worded multiple choice questions.
