Student Reviews
I really enjoyed the professor for the course! He was always willing to help his students and it really showed that he cared for us to learn.
So much of what made this course so exceptional was Professor Gibbs... The real-world examples Professor Gibbs brought to the conversation were really enriching and made the subject matter of Strategic Management seem so much more relevant and applicable.
The professor and his sense of humor were amazing. He made not so interesting content fun to learn by applying relevant cases. Great professor!
