No Comments

Lots of details, but I did note cards for vocab and I got an A so not too bad

excellent professor. very helpful, and very clear notes. puts notes on overhead, all tests are taken directly from overheads.

Good prof choice if taking Intro Psy. He gives you two quizzes every other week, which aren't that bad, just put your time in, and then also, he gives up to 8% extra credit if you participate in experiments...not bad, can be an easy A, and is interesting

This class is a piece of cake

easy class, lots of extra credit, if you do the practice test on his website than you'll ace all the quizes

the class is awesome...he is a good teacher and knows what he is talking about....crack the book once in a while and you should get at least a B.

I am not a PSY major or minor but he makes me want to consider it. GREAT TEACHER. a little work and go to class and it's an A.

Very easy class. If you go to it, you should get an A. Reading also helps. All quizzed, optional Final. A lot of extra credit. Knows his stuff, overall good prof.

Good teacher--made me consider a PSY major. His quizzes require studying, but the book was excellent (i kept it) and it felt good to take quizzes as opposed to tests. Take this class if you want to enjoy the topic and do not mind reading the text

He made his lectures more interesting with clips and videos. It was easier because he give 15 question quizes every other week, as opposed to 3 big test with a lot of info.

Super Easy class. I took it in summer and we had 6 exams with optional final and up to 8% of total grade worth of extra credit. It was interesting because of all the wierd examples and movies he showed us. Exams were very easy multiple choice and SA.

Easy...fun...nice...good lectures

Good teacher, class was all lecture. He used lots of helpful video clips to get the point across, very helpful. Tests were MC/SA 6 total w/ an optional final. Doesn't really seem to care if you do well, doen't seem to like to help outside of class. Loves texas hold'em, plays for $

Approable and friendly. Presented interesting examples in class and geniunely seems to be interested in the subject matter!

Gibson rocked. I had so much fun, we watched clips from shows like the Simpsons. He relates everything like that...clips from the Godfather. I don't get the bad comments. He shows up in t-shirts and we watch clips....How hard is that?

Took the distance learning soci. psych. class. It wasn't too bad, but I turned in my journal early so I could get the hasten the end of class & somehow it got lost. There's a lot of material to cover, and you're also required to do a journal so be prepared to work hard.

Uses questions right from the book's CD review. Answer question through office hours or e-mails very quickly. And reviews before tests in class. He curves each test to the highest score in the class. And gives great extra credit opportunities.

I dont' know what everybody's talking about him being rude. I thought he was the best prof i've had in this school. maybe you guys are just spoiled by lenient profs or just plain stupid. You do have to study a lot, tho, i'll admit that.

He is a good prof, but the class was not my favorite. I didn't like having a quiz every friday.

Great Class despite what other people are saying. Quizes were every friday, but pretty simple. His lectures were pretty interesting, since this was my first psy class it was all new material to learn. I enjoyed going to class. Just make sure that if you go out on thur nights you study during the day on thurs!

Great teacher. Stop crying about Friday quizzes; stupid freshmen. Maybe you should drop out of college if you see a problem when class interferes with partying. Get your priorities straight, or at least be smart enough to not take a Friday class if you don't care about school. This class is interesting and an easy A. Just study for the quizzes.

I liked Dr. G. He was a pretty cool guy. The final was easy because he gave us all the previous tests to study from and the exact same questions were on the final exam.

Prof. Gibson is a nice guy, explains everything really well and makes it as simple as possible... i would recommend taking this class with him... especially if your majoring or minoring in psych... he will keep u interested

Very Clear and lectures along with the notes exactly. Awesome class.

Dr. Gibson is an okay professor. He gives quizes on two to three chapters every two weeks and gives you the questions to the essays. If you study and read the chapters, you will do good. Don't bother on going to class if you read, b/c he basically just says what the book says.

He's an awesome guy, it's obvious that he's really into the subject. The lectures are not boring and he often encorporates TV show video clips into class. Mon/Wed are lecture, Fridays are quizzes. You're allowed to drop your 2 lowest quiz scores at the end of the semester. He doesn't take attendance, so that is nice. Very interesting stuff.

To be in Gibsons class you got to know yourself, there is a quiz every friday and the quiz comes strait from the lecture on Mondays and Wednesdays, so if you dont come to class you might have a hard time. He lets you drop up your 2 lowest test grades and the final is optional. up to 8% extra credit. I did well but i did the work

He loves psychology. If you are planning on majoring or minoring in psychology definitely take his class. Very Interesting and fun! The quizzes are not that difficult.

Pretty easy class. You have to study a little bit more than just reading your notes. Dr. Gibson's a nice guy too.

hes ok, can be an **** though

Good professor and his lectures are very detailed. There is ALOT of book reading but its worth it and his grading makes it easy to bring your grade up. Definetly a good class.

His lectures are very interesting and he uses cool examples, stories, tv clips, etc. I found that it was only necessary to pay attention while taking notes, read over those notes, and read chapter summaries before quizzes. I only had to take 12 of the 13 quizzes and no exam and still got an A. I would recommend Dr. G over other profs.

It is a hard class and the tests are difficult, but he compensates by making it easier to do well in class. Lots of video clips that help class go by. His power points are awful and not very helpful. I found no difference on test scores from reading the book and going to class, but read the book anyways, it will help explain his poor lectures.

Hard tests, but he is a very good teacher. He makes everything interesting, you just need to pay attention and study to do well.

Probably my favorite teacher. once you know what to study and if you pay attention to him, you'll do amazing.

Awesome guy. For someone who wasn't interested and dreaded this class, he really made it interesting and funny. He'll play little "Simpsons" clips to get points across. Quiz every Friday, 14 MC ?'s and 1 short answer. He actually gives you the S/A before the quizzes. Read and listen to him and this class will be simple. Take this with him.

This guy is one awesome teacher!! There are lectures on Monday and Wednesday and a quiz over the chapters lectured on Friday. Quizzes can be a bit tricky but if you actually study and try than you will do fine! I averaged a 90 on quizzes but the class overall averaged about a 60. As long as you are willing to put in the effort than you will do fine

I loved this class! It was easy to follow if you read the chapters before he lectures on them. If you do that there is no reason not to do good in the class. There are quizes on Friday's but they are easy if you read and listen in lecture. The final is optional and he offers the opportunity for up to 8% extra credit added onto your grade. Easy clas

This class was great! Quizzes every Friday, but super easy if you go to class and read. He single-handedly turned me from a Business Major to Psych which I now LOVE. Lectures are interesting and he was really willing to help. A+ for him... and me!!

LOVED this teacher! Gave great examples and wrote tests from lectures. Final proposal is only worth 15% of your final grade, making it not too stressful. Take notes and study from them for the test and you'll do great.

At first I didn't really care for Dr. Gibson because he came of as little arrogant and unwilling to help. Then when we worked on our final proposals I had a question on an assignment and he was extremly helpful!! It is up to you to seek help if needed, he is wiling to help. The class was fairly easy, take good notes and read your book!

A pretty good prof. Go to class, take lecture notes, study before exams. Pretty easy, pretty straightforward - he's not out to torture or confuse anyone. He might come across as distant from his students, but that's just his demeanor - he's pretty easy to talk to/deal with. Nice guy - I would strongly recommend him for all PSY students.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. His notes were incomplete and reading the book gives you a much better understanding of definitions and the material, although the book is deadthly boring. He has an arrogant attitude. His grading system for extra credit is a lie. This class could have been sumed up in half the time. EXTREMELY BORING,

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. His notes were incomplete and reading the book gives you a much better understanding of definitions and the material, although the book is deadthly boring. He has an arrogant attitude. His grading system for extra credit is a lie. This class is a waste of time and money.

I had a great experience with him for both classes I took from Dr. G. He is very enthusiastic and is genuinely interesting to listen to. If you go to his office hours, he will help you with anything. You definitely need to study for his tests though!

He is a very good teacher. If your idea of a good class is to go when you want, take notes when you want, and take the final exam if you want, try Bryan Gibson for Intro into Psych

Good presentation of all ideas in the course

This class was really fun. I loved the quizzes every Friday even though I waited until Thursday morning to study for them. Quizzes were easy the essay questions were annoying. I learned a lot and thanks to him I REALLY LOVE PSYCHOLOGY!!

I loved Dr. Gibson's class and I took it during the summer when we had to be there every day for three hours I was neve bored. He uses a lot of interesting examples to help you understand concepts he's teaching.He shows clips from Friends which helps when you're trying to remember things. Gives BB quizzes & pulls test questions from them. Take him!

The class is interesting and I enjoyed going. The tests are SUPER hard.. I studied my butt off and failed 3 of the 6 exams. He does make the class fun though, just read the book and study hard.

Good Teacher, took it online over the summer and it was way better than taking it with Jaffa! He expects the work done but very easy to commuciate with. This was my 2ndtime taking it. Took it with Jaffa=D- with.. Gibson online= A- worth takin over the summer for sure!!

I didn't like this class at the beginning because the quizzes werent clearly defined. But after you get a feel for them they are extremely easy. They are every Friday but that is okay because you know what to except from the notes and example quizzes.Drop the lowest 2 quizzes Get 8% extra credit. You have a choice to take the final, it drops 3 more

Great Teacher! I read each bolded term in the textbook before each quiz and memorized their definitions. Never received a quiz grade under 90%! Recommended!

Very Easy if you can read!! you get one week to read about 50 pages. Yes, thats less than 10 pages a night (pictures included) He gives you the short answers to his tests and there are online quizes for you to use. He pulls some questions straight off those quizes! Great teacher, great class!

Pretty straight-forward class. Weekly quizzes, lowest two quiz scores are dropped.The final is optional and can replace 3 additional quiz scores. All notes are online.

Great Professor. Puts things into college terms, learned very much from him. If you show up for all weekly quizzes your golden.

Excellent professor. You have a quiz every Friday and he takes all of his questions from the practice quizzes he provides on Blackboard. He also drops your two lowest quiz scores automatically. He made psychology very interesting and I learned a lot. Thanks to him, my minor is psychology now!! :)

I took PSY 330 as an online class. He's a great professor who cares about his students. He really doesn't want any of his students to fail. You do need to put in the time and effort to read the chapters. He takes the questions on his exams from his study guides which really help.

Gibson is a great professor. When he is lecturing you can tell that he really enjoys what he is doing. You have two lectures and then a quiz every week. He gives you every opportunity to do well in his class. He provides flashcards and practice quizzes on blackboard. He also sets up review sessions the day before your quiz with his TA/GAs.

Gibson is very helpful when it comes to preparing for the test. He gives a test every Friday that is worth 20 points and an optional final exam. Material is very hard if you do not read the book. Best advice...STUDY for the test! :)

I took this class online and it was so easy and he was a great professor! Provided options for extra credit and material to review for exams! Also had him as a prof. for PSY100 and loved him for that as well! GREAT psych professor!

Absolutely amazing lectures, very interesting man.

Study the material he covers in lecture and use the book to help understand those topics better. The tests are difficult but the curve makes it more fair. He can seem unapproachable and doesn't care, but he just wants you to work hard and then he will help you out. Helps a lot for the research proposal! I would take him again.

Amazing professor. His lectures were always interesting. It was apparent that he was very enthusiastic about the subject, which made the class more enjoyable. The quizzes and exams were info straight from the lectures, so nothing was a surprise. I would take the class again in a heartbeat.

Professor Gibson is an amazing professor! I was having in trouble in his class and he went above and beyond for me. He offers a lot of extra credit. He is willing to help anyway he can and gives you good advice on study skills. His lectures are very clear and entertaining!

I would recommend him to anyone! He gives a lot of extra credit. Has super easy quizzes every FRI. The quizzes are 14 multiply choice Q's and 1 short answer, which he gives you the short answer Q's before so you can study them and then picks one for the quiz. Drops 2 lowest quizzes. No exams in the class besides the final which isn't mandatory.

This class was easy. I never opened my book just did the practice tests and passed with an A. You also have an opportunity to add 8% to your final grade with extra credit. There is a small quiz every week though but if you prepare with the practice quizzes they are exactly the same. Would recommend for a first year student of a GPA booster.

A test every Friday and you review for it on Mondays and Wednesdays

Lectures are very entertaining. He is really into psychology. BUT talking to him personally after lecture & in his office hours, he can be rude.

I took this as an online class. Dr. Gibson did an excellent job setting up this online class with plenty of tips in the syllabus on how to do well. If you follow his instructions and put in the required time, you will do well. Practice quizzes provided invaluable, but exercise caution, some of the answers in the practice quizzes are not correct.

He does quizzes every Friday, so you have to go to every lecture to pass. The lecture are very helpful if you pay attention. He offers great extra credit. DO IT. It can raise you a whole letter grade. He was a great professor. I would recommend taking his course.

Dr. Gibson is a good professor. Quizzes every friday on 1 chapter each. Read the chapter (roughly 40 pages) and take notes mostly on vocab. Dont just memorize, quiz requires that you UNDERSTAND the concepts. Quizzes are 14 MC, 1 short answer. TONS of extra credit. Up to 8% on final grade!! For that reason in itself i would take Gibson.

Very straightforward class. 2 Lectures on Mon and Wed and then a Quiz on Friday with 14 multiple choice and one short answer. Didn't read the textbook very much, just did the practice quizzes on BB and studied the vocabulary and passed with an A. Great prof, he's really funny and his lectures are interesting. I would definitely take him again.

Good professor overall. Everything you need to know about the class is on the syllabus. If you study, you should do well enough, and even if you don't you can get up to 8% extra credit. I would NOT pay $20 for Tophat, he says you need it, but we didn't use it once. Waste of money.

We have a quiz every week on Friday. Easy A if you show up and listen to lectures and follow along in the book. Final is optional as long as you're passing the class. Quizzes are short. Grading is very clear.

Professor Gison's PSY100 class is a straight forward college course. He's a little monotone but you get used to it. You HAVE attend every lecture as there is a quiz every Friday, and you HAVE to read a little bit every week to get an A. But if you just go to class, you're guaranteed at least a C.

He is very clear when lecturing and gives relatable examples. He only does quizzes every friday, no tests. Quizzes are easy if you do the practice quizzes and flashcards provided on blackboard. Would definitely recommend as a teacher.

He's a great professor. Honestly, I never went into his office hours because I never needed help with anything. If you show up to class and take good notes, and study the short answer questions he provides you before each quiz, you will be fine. Quiz every Friday, 2 lowest are dropped and final is optional. Some chapters I don't even need to read.

Only class I've had so far that I actually enjoyed the lectures!! He shows clips from movies and TV shows to help explain certain disorders and what not. If you take notes in Lecture and study the short answer questions before each quiz, you'll pass. Also, he allows you to participate in Psychology studies in Sloan and earn up to 8% Extra Credit!!

I made the mistake of skipping some classes and that is why my grade isn't as high as I would have liked. But he is a very nice guy and good professor in general.

I really liked Gibson because he made psych really enjoyable to learn, provided an outline to follow along during class with movie clips. Only quizzes on Friday and no tests, the final exam is optional and can only help your grade. Provides extra credit. Really have to study for the quizzes and provides all short answer questions on blackboard.

Dr. Gibson gives amazing lectures that are easy to get into and easy to understand. He really wants students to pass and offers up to 8% extra credit. He gives a weekly quiz on Fridays, and it is never more than 15 questions. He has online practice quizzes for each chapter and short answers that could appear on the quiz. Show up for lectures!

Quiz every Friday with lecture every Monday and Wednesday. Would recommend going to every class, I rarely opened the textbook and got mostly 85% on the quizzes solely from my lecture notes. Offers up to 8% extra credit, but do it early or there won't be many studies available. An A is almost guaranteed if you show up, take decent notes, and do E.C.

Gibson is a great professor; as long as you attend lecture and take notes you'll get a good grade. Only grades are 1 quiz a week and the final is optional (he also drops a couple quiz grades). Lots of extra credit is available if you participate in studies and he always posts practice quizzes.

Professor Gibson is still one of the best professors I have had at Central! He is very passionate about his work and includes examples for class, and he was really friendly outside of class, too. The set up of his class makes it pretty easy to get an A, but reading the book is helpful on quizzes. SI sessions also helped for his quizzes!

He is one of the funnest and funniest profs I think i'll ever have. Please show up t class and take notes and you'll do fine on his weekly quizzes.

Quizzes every Friday but they are very easy & you get to drop your 2 lowest scores. The final exam is optional. Tons of extra credit opportunities. Do the practice quizzes on blackboard because they are almost identical to the actual quiz. He also gives you the short answer question that will be asked on the quiz.

Great professor! Quite intimidating at first, but not that bad as we got into the semester. VERY lecture heavy and lectures fast, but go to the lectures, attendance isn't taken, therefore not mandatory, but if you go to the lectures you won't even need the textbook. Utilize the short answer questions and practice quizzes given. Lots of extra credit

I took this class via the online format. It was a very interesting class with relevant projects, interesting videos and assignments to supplement the materials, and plenty of study guides and options for extra credit. I found Dr. Gibson to be prompt in responding to e-mailed questions and he gave serious attention and good detail in his responses.

Not a psych major or minor or anything, but I loved his lectures. Very interesting & exciting to learn about. Buy and read the textbook!!! He shares good online resources-use them! Tests are only hard if you dont study.

Prof Gibson is very knowledgeable and very interesting to listen too. His lectures are very helpful and important so you should go every time. Buy the book and read it or else you wont do well. Also utilize his practice quizzes they are extremely helpful for the actual quizzes!

Dr. Gibson is a very interesting man. He has a lot of stories to tell and loves to tell them. Although when it comes to lectures, be prepared to write so fast that your hand will feel like it is falling off. He flies through his power points. He does give extra credit opportunities. Tests are extremely hard if you do not study.

I actually enjoyed him a lot. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT! It is a safety blanket for you if you are failing/struggling in the class! My rough estimate of my grade for this semester lies on a C+. With the extra credit it bumped me to a B-! Pay attention in class, lecture and text count for quizzes! Do NOT miss out, you are basically screwed!

There are quizzes over what we learned every other week. Overall the class isn't too hard but you should do reading on your own despite the lectures in class. He provides practice quizzes and study materials on blackboard to help. Overall a very good class.

Prof Gibson is a great teacher who tells you exactly what you need to do in order to pass the class. His lectures are very important, and if you miss one, you'll have a lot of catching up to do. He is, however, quite funny and clearly loves what he does, and he gives off good vibes during class. Not an easy class, but definitely worth taking.

I loved this class and this professor, the people complaining are probably new to college and don't understand you teach yourself in a lot of classes. He is super funny and loves his work. He gives great examples and curves all the exams. I got like 60-70 on each exam and got a B+ in the class. Quizlet is great, I didnt do any of the readings.

Yes, it's true that Dr. Gibson can be a tough grader. It's easy to get discouraged about low scores on assignments. However, assignments are only worth 25% of your grade. He gives a lot of feedback on your rough drafts for the research paper, and if you make these revisions, then you will do just fine on the research paper.
