Make sure to get good at Kahoot, he gives extra points on tests if you get in the top three Kahoot scores. Be very attentive to details in your writing, especially format and citations.

He sometimes teaches us things for the first time after he took points off on assignments for not having those things. So, make sure to ask many questions, even about things you think your sure about.

I suppose my only problem with Gibson would be his personality. Usually you can tell how a teachers feeling, but the man is practically a brick wall. I could never get a read on him, which was a little unnerving. What he lacks in expression, however, he makes up for in knowledge. I learned a lot in his class and I appreciated the time he spent on current events. He's also, like, the only teacher to finish the curriculum. All in all, it was a good class.
