Comment:
If you are a procrastinator this is NOT the class for you. If you stay on top of your work you will get an A in the class. Dr. Gibbons will go above and beyond to help you succeed. Just do your work and get help from your peers. There are also tons of extra credit opportunities offered throughout the semester so take advantage of them.

Comment:
Do not take this class. He makes you do every assignment multiple times and you always get a zero on your first try. If you are willing to work super hard you may learn a lot but it was not worth the stress for me. He spends the first 30 mins of class telling us how bad we are, and is mean 1 on 1. By far the worst class I've taken at CNU.

Comment:
The worst professor I've ever had. It's not close. He is so bad that he made me want to drop out of school entirely. He does not teach at all in class and his quizzes (pretty much every class) and exams are absurdly hard. He's the type of professor that wants to prove that his class is hard so bad that he punishes the students for no reason.

Comment:
Gibbons is a great guy, nobody can deny that. But for an intro-level psych class, he takes it way too seriously. This class is currently my hardest course. (Spring semester 2021) and I am not even a psychology major. Quizzes almost every class that are difficult, and not just memorization. HE makes sure you learn the content for the quizzes and tes

The most amazing professor at CNU. He wants his students to learn and succeed so much, and is willing to do anything for his students to succeed. He is very accessible and is in his office very often, and always willing to meet with students. He makes you work for your grade, but you learn SO much with him, and hes always available.

If you are a freshman in college and taking his class your fall semester, you need to either drop his class ASAP or put your head down and do all the extra credit possible. His midterm and final are impossible. I earned over 40 points of extra credit in one semester. Do not take his class. He does not teach, & goes on random tangents during class.

What an interesting character. Dr. Gibbons' lectures often go off topic into tangents about his life and family. Read if you want to, but the main purpose of this class is to rob your time. He cares deeply about his students but for an intro psych class there's way too much work. Seriously, good luck on his quizzes and exams. (Spring 2020)

Dr. Gibbons is interesting. I did not enjoy his lectures because he talks very fast and can get off topic. You take a short quiz almost every class. The midterm and the Final are the only exams and they were all based on what he says not the material in the book. I suggest you print out the notes he provides and write down exactly what he says!

If you read, study and pay attention to the lectures, this class will be really easy. There isn't a big secret to succeed in this class and Dr. Gibbons will tell you the same. And worst case scenario, he gives a bunch of extra credit. His quizzes make you actually know the content rather than just memorizing it for a test. This class was my fav.

Classes are 100% lecture, quizzes almost every class, but on the first day he said "I'm just here for moral support," and mostly just makes jokes and cusses a lot. Went to him for help one time and was just told how poor of grades and how low of a chance I have at doing well on the midterm. Has more casual than psych-related conversations.

In my opinion this is a really challenging class. I did go to tutoring for it, which helped a lot. He is very strict about attendance and thinks that coming to class should be your top priority. There are only two test the whole year but he gives out a ton of extra credit. The extra credit is defiantly not easy but it will really help your grade.

A hard professor. He's been around a while in the teaching game and knows how students think. There is so much extra credit offered that you can get an A no matter what if you start early on it. Exams are hard!!!! No tests and only a midterm and a final exam.

Gibbons is a very intelligent and caring professor. This class is not "easy" but it can be if you are willing to stay on top of the readings, study your notes prior to each class, and listen to his lectures. He is wiling to help any student that applies themselves, and provides each student with the resources they need in order to pass this class.

This man is eccentric to say the least. Walked into his office once to discuss homework and stayed in there for an hour talking about god knows what. I used to think his quizzes were hard until I actually started reading and realized they're not that hard. He gives a lot of extra credit which you can take advantage of. He plays hockey occasionally

Gibbons is very Smart. He knows what he is talking about. You are expected to read the book before class and there is almost always a quiz. He gives out a ton of extra credit opportunity so take advantage of it. His class can be boring and he likes to go off topic a lot. GO to his office hours but make sure your put a lot of time for it.

Gibbon's a funny and great lecturer. 10 pt quiz at the end of almost every class. Encourages you to read, take notes, and study before class. You will not pass if you constantly skip class (2 pts) or dont participate (4 pts). His quizzes are not as straight forward as he says, but sometimes they are verbatim of the text book. Do extra credit

Gibbons was honestly the best professor I've had. He always keeps the subjects interesting. There is a good amount of reading but there are also outlined notes. Loved his class and would definitely take it again.
