Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
A kind guy but... 1. has Piazza yet rarely responds to student messages and concerns (highly inaccessible which made upcoming tests/deadlines stressful) 2. Extra credit assignment didn't visibly boost my grade. pointless unless you complete every one 3. HW is confusing (some questions we didn't discussed how to do in class like graphs or drawings)

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Dr. Gibbs is so caring and kind. His lectures seem confusing at first. The first time he explains content it wouldn't make sense to me but by the end of the unit I would understand it. He is a professor you have to trust the process with lol. He's newer to lecturing but is improving a lot and made the class content manageable.
