Reviews of professor Michael Gibbs

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Easy A. He never fails his students and the tests are so easy. There are no textbooks or assignments just three tests. Take him and you'll do good. He also offers extra credit.

If you are looking for an easier A take him. Lectures are very unorthodox, but you will learn a thing or two about finance. Usually drops the lowest exam grade. May offer extra credit and he also bases your whole grade off exams. No one fails this class.

Pros: Attendance not mandatory. Lectures are interesting and related to current events. Cares about your finance interests and will take the time to answer any questions you have. Several extra credit opportunities. Cons: Grading not on time. Tests are confusing. No clear agenda indicating when tests or assignments are due.

Avoid this class if you can it is so unorganized. He is a really cool guy and cares more about real-world situations, but does not care about anything in the class. No test or assignments just one final to base your grade off of. We still haven't gotten our final and it's been 7 hrs after our final time. He will expect you to finish it over break

Finished the class with 0 assignments in the gradebook. Did not know my grade until the end of the semester when I checked transcript. No clue what I got on my exams or assignments. We took one exam halfway through the semester and then the final. (Pretty hard). Also had two easy assignments. He's a good guy but don't take if not good at Finance.

One of the best teachers at Long Beach knows what the hell he's talking about. He actually teaches, unlike some professors that just follow slides of some textbook.
If you want to know about the finance world he's the teacher to take. I learned so much from this class. I feel 10 times better now for an interview because of this class

Really easy class if you always attend. All work is done in class

His class is the easiest to pass, couple of exams and no HW, make sure you ask good questions and read the book if you want to understand the Fin350 concepts, ask one question he will answer it until you actually understand.

Half of the class drop after 2nd days. Avoid at all cost if youre looking for a good teacher, literally clueless about everything in this class, no pp, grading criteria, syllabus. He literally said hes not good at teaching. Upside is that ONLY if you are extremely passionate and already know alot about Finance, he can be informative and helpful.

Want to take FIN 450 and pass easily? TAKE HIM. Just do the class projects and show him that you're trying to do well and you'll end up with an easy A. He never fails his students and his lectures are so engaging. I'm definitely taking him again.
