Carrie is amazing! She makes everything very clear and accessible. This class is challenging but Carrie teaches it very well. She wants her students to do well so she will explain something many times in order for you to get it. She is very cool and sharp.

Challenging without being too hard. Engaging and very helpful.

Carrie is a great teacher!I didn't understand math until her class. She goes fast, but if you ask questions, she clearly explains and is very patient. Math in the summer is hard, but I think I will make it thanks to Carrie!

I hate math, especially algebra. Carrie made it fun. She is smart, lucid, very helpful. Math makes sense when she teaches it. Also, she posts all the class notes online so that you can refer to them. I just wish I could have her for every math class I need to take!

Ms. Gibson's class was my favorite. She moves fast and her tests are HARD, but she encourages questions and will explain patiently until she is sure you understood the material. She is a fun and funny teacher and likes to chat with her students, but knows how to keep the class on track and always finished on time. I wish she taught all my classes!

Amazing teacher. Wish I had her for all the math classes I have to take.

Explains everything clearly and more importantly grades fairly. My favorite math instructor so far. She has tougher classes but you will get more out of them.

Carrie is a fantastic teacher! Her explanations are clear and concise. Her knowledge of math is utterly amazing. Best teacher ever!!

I hated math with a passion before I took her class. She was a fantastic instructor and I just wish she taught all my math classes.

Carrie has a good understanding of math and is willing to help students. She always wants students to answer, even if they give the wrong answer. She grades with TONS of partial credit on tests, and she gives unlimited tries to complete homework on MathXL.

good teacher very thorough challenging class though

I absolutely hated Math before taking her class. She helped me to enjoy it a little. I am now in another math class she teaches. Love her teaching style and how she wants everyone to understand it.

Carrie was by far the best math teacher I have ever had. She definitely knows what she is talking about and is very willing to help anyone if they have any questions. This class was a LOT of work and a very big challenge, but I can't imagine a better teacher.

She is a great teacher if you like math. She does a great job with her notes and posts her lectures online. I would recommend her to all of my friends.

Great teaching and awesome humor. It is a fast track class, and she states that from the beginning. She is always willing to help if you make the effort to schedule time with her. I enjoyed the use of "thingy" or "stuff" because it saved time repeating it back or explaining. Study and take it seriously and you shouldn't have a problem.

Carrie was pretty great, it's a fast paced class, which she immediately states. She is however super helpful in the study center and always a good laugh. I'd absolutely recommend her, and I'm taking her again for 170(:

She is a very helpful teacher. She is very knowledgable about teach topic and wants her students to learn. Her tests are quite tough but I learned A LOT.

Great math instructor. Makes it fun and she is easy to learn from . I have trouble with tests but she does give partial credit! Unlimited tries for mathxl homework and its great. I am taking her again for math 108 in the fall! I recommend her to anyone!

As with most Math you need to be in class and keep up to date on homework but I find her a well paced professor with a clear cut method through the material.

I really liked the way she lectured. She explained things very well. Also, I liked the way she graded. As long as you got the concept correct, you would only miss a few points for small mistakes I feel like I learned a lot in this class.

I loved having Carrie as a math teacher. I did better in her math class than I've ever done in math before. Yes, there is a lot of homework, but how else would you learn the material? She makes herself available for any questions and help during class and outside of class. Plus, she is hilarious and always made my class laugh.

Carrie makes her class very easy to succeed in. She is always eager to answer questions and help students outside of class as well. She gives opportunities to turn in homework early, she checks it and gives it back so you can get a 100%! Great teacher!

Her teaching style is fast-paced, clear, and concise. The coverage of the material was thorough and her enforcing habits of clear notation was incredible. She makes you work for the class. I have found that her attention to detail has helped me deal with higher level math. I would recommend her to any student needing the calculus series.

I have always struggled in Math because I have disability that causes me to have trouble in that area. Carrie taught math in a way that made it easier and fun to understand. I got my first A in a math class ever because of her teaching style!! One of my favorites at NIC and can't wait to have her for 187 and Calc 1&II!! Go with Carrie! She's great!

Calculus is a hard class, but because she has good office hours and is in the Math Study Center a lot, she is very available to get help. Utilize that. Her lectures are fast, but that's because there is a lot to cover. Work hard, do the practice problems that she gives you in the book. She very well prepares you for the test, but be ready to work.

She is extremely clear, concise, and fair in what she expects from her students. This is a upper level Mathematics course, and she treats you like upper level students. Homework is an accurate representation of the exams, and she offers a review was is the closest thing to a study guide you will receive. Overall, great teacher who is passionate!

Carrie Gibson knows what she is talking about, she is able to explain in a way that comes from a place looking like she taught herself, and if you teach yourself something you are a impeccably capable of teaching others. I have taken her for a few Math classes and I couldn't rate anyone higher. She is fair in the amount of homework and grading.

Homework through computer program called MyMathLab (textbook is online, so not a mandatory purchase). MML is tricky to use at first. She places a lot of weight on homework. Her lectures seem like she is constantly angry at you, kind of intimidating. Tests are average (tells you exactly what's on them). High availability. Explains things very well.

Good sense of humor and loves answering questions in or out of class. Lots of chances for extra credit. Homework is harder than tests are harder than the final. Don't procrastinate on homework!

She records all of her classes so you can view them online, whether you missed the class or just want to review. You really only need to show up on test days. If you have a question, just email her and she covers it in class for everybody during the recording. Tests are graded on a curve and partial credit for wrong answers if you show work.

She records her lectures so if you miss a class, you can view it online. All homework is online but tests are in class only, so you have to show up for those. She reviews all homework questions during her lecture so everyone can get help even if only one person is having trouble.

Very Organized. Clearly described what was expected of students on several occasions. Pre-Notes and practice tests are provided for all sections at start of class. Nearly all course material was explained clearly, and efficiently. No excuse for failure.

Carrie is a great professor who teaches well and whose classes are highly structured. However, she is by no means for the faint of heart. You must be willing to work hard if you are going to pass her classes. If you are diligent though and study hard, she is a solid choice for an instructor. Though strict, I'd definitely take her again.

Carrie is a great professor, and has an advance knowledge of any course she is teaching. Math 187 is a very tough course, which has long hours of homework, tough tests where she makes sure you know everything and than some, but Carrie does a great job with recording her lectures and giving plenty of homework, I would recommend lots of study groups.

Discrete math is a difficult, worthwhile course. Its not like other math classes, so expect to put in extra effort to understand it with ways such as: getting Carrie's help, meeting with a study group, or getting a tutor. Also, the class is a little heavy with printed notes, and you'll write a lot in them so it helps to watch the online lectures.

If you're taking Discrete, you're better off taking Carrie than the other professor. Discrete is extremely difficult but I found Carrie to be an excellent teacher for it. That said, if you don't study hard you won't pass.

Carrie is a great teacher. I've had two extremely difficult classes with her and both have been worthwhile. She's tough and requires a lot out of her students, however in the long run you'll learn more than enough to be successful later down the line. I would personally recommend her to everybody I could. Excited to have her again.

Carrie was a great instructor. It was an intense topic but if you don't succeed it's probably because you're not ready for this level of math not because she isn't teaching the content. She loves questions but only if you show you've actually put effort into the content. Homework is worth a lot and the final is super easy.

Gibson is a fine math instructor and doesn't deserve most of the bad reviews here. She teaches the content well but expects that you are ready for this level of math. Your expected to know algebra and trig so she shows little desire to baby students through these topics. She enjoys questions that shows you've already tried. She is a fine instructor

Professor Gibson is a great instructor, and as such she expects you to work hard. Mathematics is not a subject that you can do well in without lots of work. Gibson is very instructive and more than willing to help students during her office hours. I would, without hesitation, take anther one of her classes.

Carrie is a great teacher, and she doesn't deserve all of these bad reviews. Do all of practice problems that she recommends and keep up on the homework, and you'll be just fine.

1) She grades super fair on tests, which gives you the chance to score well. 2) UNlimited attempts on homework problems, so with enough time you can get 100% on ALL homework. 3) Sometimes the homework load can be heavy. 4) She records every class session (super helpful to rewatch) 5) You have to buy her note's from the bookstory but its worth it

Professor Gibson taught an online summer calculas I class and I managed to get my best math grade yet, with a solid A. VERY hard class but professor Gibson has a great teaching style that clearly communicates what is expected on the exams. She is always willing to help students and answer questions.

A lot of these students wine about how the tests are hard THIS CLASS SHOULD DOMINATE YOUR TIME. Its two classes in one. If you are not going to class, doing the hw, going to office hours, doing the practice problems, going to tutoring, doing the practice exams, doing the review-- you simply are not trying hard enough and are crying bc things r hard

I really liked this class, it was the first I took that made me feel like I really understood math, and I aced every test. I think it comes down to teaching style, and understanding her lectures. She takes time to answer students questions and go over the homework. She likes when students participate by asking or answering questions.

She is tough, but she is a great professor! She is fair, and is a great teacher.

She is great. I would take her again in a heart beat. I took MATH-108, MATH-143, and MATH-144 with her, and have learned so much. At first, it is hard, but in the long run, she makes sure that you KNOW what to do, and you will do great if you are willing to put in the time.

extremely fun group, love her sense of humor! She's clear about what is on the tests, and tries to make sure her class knows the information. She can be intimidating at first, but once you get to know her teaching style you really learn the material. she doesn't pull any punches, which obviously offends some people. do the work and you'll do great!

Professor Carrie explains things clearly and takes the time to make sure everyone understands. They're super patient with questions and offer help outside of class if you need it. The lectures are organized, and the homework lines up well with the tests. Highly recommend if you want someone who wants you to succeed.

Tuesday. If you know you know. She's pretty awesome as a teacher tbh, 10/10 would take again.

This class made my semester! Hope to see more of professor gibson! Tuesday

Gibson gets a bad rap, which I think is totally undeserved. This class was much harder than most math classes, but I don't think that's because of Carrie - it's a condensed class. If you visit the MEC and ask Carrie for help with hard to understand questions, she is a perfectly good professor. I quite liked her teaching style.

Do the work. The most important part of math is practice and pattern recognition. Super fun professor overall. I've taken all of my math classes up to and including calculus with her so far, and she has been excellent teaching-wise. Maybe not for you if you hate math with a passion since she very obviously loves mathematics and pulls no punches.
