Reviews of professor Johnny Gillings

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Not the best professor Ive had but at the same time he isnt the worst. I think what trips people up are the tests which are very hard for some reason. He himself is actually a really nice guy and seems to care for his students. The actual material isnt that hard and I actually learned during the lecture but the tests were very hard.

The WORST teacher I have had at NCSU. Is cold, rude, unapproachable, and does not care about struggling students that are not failing. Is super inconsistent with grading and extra credit. Lectures made no sense, overwhelming amount of homework, not helpful study guides, super hard tests. This class was supposed to be easy and he made it SO HARD.

Worst math teacher ever. He makes the super simple class so insanely hard. spends one class period rambling about one problem. Had to teach myself everything. Gives multiple webassigns a week; rarely teaches whats on them. He can't teach without his notebook, reads directly out of it. His "review sheets" were literally just paragraphs not math

Professor Gillings made MA 114 much harder than the course was designed to be. He takes too long to explain certain topics and doesnt make sense of his lectures. He also takes SO long to get his point across for some things that are very easy to explain. He also did the most complicated grading system Ive ever seen in my life. Dont take him!!

Do NOT take his class; you will end up confused, failing & teaching yourself the material. Tests, quizzes, lecture & HW are all unrelated. Gillings is the worst prof EVER. His attempts to prepare his students for test are unhelpful & misleading, which sucks because test are EXTREMELY hard & take up most of your final grade.

This course should not have been as difficult as he made it. Homework does not correlate to what is taught in class. Do not take this course with him.

Has to be one of the top 3 worst teachers I have ever had. The lecture, the homework, and the tests were all completely different so everyone in the class was constantly frustrated and had no idea what they were doing.

He is a very hard grader on test. He is probably one of the worst professors I have ever had. He always finishes class late and gets irritated when the class packs up to leave when it is time to go. He barely finishes the lectures because he goes on and on about irrelevant things. Also, the Webassigns do not match up with what he teaches in class.

The only reason I did not give him a 1 is because he at least took into consideration that the class was doing terrible so he gave a few extra credit opportunities. He blabbers in lectures and he has no idea what he's teaching. He spends so much time explaining one problem, so we have to rush through the unit. Tests are extremely hard. DO NOT TAKE
