This professor deserves some credit for actually taking time and making the course interesting and fun to learn. He also takes real life events and works them into the course, rather than ficticious events out of the text. AAA++++

This guy here raises the bar when it comes to being a professor. Every comment on this site is exactly on target. He teaches, he listens, he's interesting, he never keeps you the full class time. The bottomline is this professor wants to keep you interested on the material but does understand what the needs of the students are. You learn.

Don't believe he is a good teacher. He expects you to kiss his feet for an A. Marks papers down without explaination. He doesn't even pay attention while you present, and he still marks you down for no reason. It seems as though he just picks favorites and grades you based on this. Don't take him.

He seems like a good guy, but I feel that the grading is unfair. I think it would be best to avoid him if you are an A student, and don't like working in groups. He also needs documentation for a death in the family, which I found insulting.

Excellent professor. He seems to get an idea of you however from the get-go and grades you based on that perspective. If he gives you a C on your first assignment than chances are the next one you do will be the same, based on his view of you. If you want an A you should pray that he likes you. Overall a good prof. Lots of group work.

Mr. Gerber is everything you look for in a professor. He is kind, funny, and cares about his students. He centers most of the assignments around employment. Just don't turn in assignments late (you won't get credit). If you turn things in on time, all will be good!

Gerber give decent lectures and he switches it up to keep your attention. However, I did not like his BCOM class bc it was all group work- even quizzes were done in a group. I'm not a fan of having my grade determined by others. Gerber is also on a power trip. He won't accept late assignments even when you have a legitimate excuse.
