Great professor in class quiz and final are super easy if you do the readings however online quizes were quite difficult at times and essay was hard seeing as I am not a philosophy major most essays are informational but this one is more argument based

Gilbert is a clear professor. Delivers material in concise and coherent fashion. Weekly quizs were somewhat difficult in my experience. Written portion easy multiple choice not so. Help in class not so out of class. Difficult to get certain info from him. Only answers course questions. Not sympathetic to mental health needs. Good reading material.

This class was really cool, professor Gilbert has these weekly quiz things you have to do, they are really easy and is just there to make sure you did the readings, so don't be put off by that. If you are thinking of taking this class, take it with him, it's really amazing

I side with the last commenter on Professor Gilbert being deliciously attractive. He is also creates the most inviting seminar atmosphere, it's definitely a treat attending his class.

Comment:

Stay with it. It may seem counter-intuitive at first, but it becomes something much more than you could have ever thought by the end of the course. It is not only about a paradigm shift in the study of argument, but about promoting tolerance, patience and pedagogy in a field where these things take a back seat to a pissing contest. Worth it.

Comment:

Prof.Gilbert's class was life changing. If you've ever thought that there is more to philosophy than the critical-logical approach, try his class. No guarantees on whether you will be able to keep up, even though he is helpful, the material isn't easy. Expect to really walk away with something at the end of the day though.

Great prof, extremely smart and wants students to learn. Hard course, but interesting. Also, to the other commentator, cheating is ILLEGAL and immoral, so it would make sense a professor would be serious about it...also, your Mrs Doubtfire comment is tasteless and offensive.

Comment:

i do not like him at all. he seems so full of himself. he is not understanding, yet everyone understands him and respects him. he has this attitude i dont like. it's a very hard class, confusing, impossible to catch up. i studied so much for so many hourse and guess what his test question was? Who is the author of the textbook?

prof gilbert is awesome at what he does. not only is the topic interesting to begin with, but he makes it come to life.. he really knows what he's talking about. more importantly, what he talks about really makes you think. and isn't that what higher education is all about? but be prepared to do some MAD writing for the exams!totally worth it tho!

Prof Gilbert is a great prof. I only came to class because he made it and the topics so interesting. His slides are great so we dont' "scramble like rabbits!" His jokes and time for discussion are great! we talked about everything related to tlbg2spirit etc. best part was when we had a "guest speaker". :)

Top notch stuff, easy to listen to, a little repetitive but that makes it easier to do the work later. Definitely definitely take his class.. if its the sexuality one ;)
