Comment:

Great professor. A lot of people complained about his teaching but just taking half decent notes and paying attention is all you need to pass. No it's not gonna be an easy A, but he's one of the few professors that I felt actually made sure you left their class learning something new

Comment:

Do not take this class! Mr. Gilbert is very nice but his class is extremely difficult. He does not go out of the book and if you use the books definitions he counts off points. He is an extremely tough grader and unless you want to devote every last second of your time to learning the material "his way" forget signing up for this class.

Comment:

He's a really chill guy. I've definitely enjoyed him this semester and am kind of sad to go. He's a tough grader, but it makes you work for your grade instead of just skating by. (Why go to college if you're just trying to get an easy A, anyway?) Take really good notes. Possibly record lectures and listen to the afterwards.

Comment:

At first Gilbert seemed like he would be a hard professor, but after the first test, it is not bad at all. You need to take very good notes and you can not be afraid to ask questions in order to pass the class. If you make flashcard and want him to go over them before the test or need extra help, as long as you ask he will help without hesitation.

This was the hardest class I have ever taken. He talks from beginning to end. The tests are very hard and requires 7+ hours of studying. No one in the class ever made higher than a C on the tests. Do not take his class!

I do not recommend his class at all. His class demands are that of a graduates degree not a basic class.

Talks from begging to end with out using the book. Only has 3-4 tests for the entire class making no room for error, no other grades. Test have a lot of memorization over a couple of chapters worth of work.

Comment:

Good notes are essential. He gives you a study guide about a week prior to the tests with all terms/people that you need to know. Take advantage of this!!!! It is very much possible to do well in this class, it just requires the right mindset and amount of effort.

Comment:

He is nice but very hard. You can't write fast enough to keep up. Test are based on notes and study guides are more like writing a book. Hard to hear him since he talks in such a low voice. But he is a really nice guy. Just thinks that everyone already should know everything that he's saying.

Comment:

Mr. Gilbert is way too hard for anyone just entering college. The tests are strictly based off the notes and he goes through the notes faster than you can write. He will help you after class, but he isn't very approachable. Just don't put your pencil down all semester and you might make a decent grade

Comment:

Attendance is mandatory to get good notes. He has impossible tests. I've never been happy about getting a B in a class before because I usually get A's, but I literally screamed for joy when I saw I got a B. He is a very hard grader with a dry sense of humor. He will talk with you after class though and clarify.

Comment:

Mr. Gilbert has a script of the entire history of the world memorized, from which he pulls his lecture and his tests. Very dry humor. Note-taking is vital: if you don't study, you will probably not do well. STUDY--there are loads of terms, etc. Very difficult, but not impossible, and a very good teacher.

Comment:

Mr. Gilbert is an amazing teacher. His class is really difficult but you will learn so much! He doesn't use the text book so note taking is a must. He's not a stickler for attendance, but trust me, if you miss a day you're behind. He isn't that great with email communication, but he is always open to talk during his office hours.

Gilbert knows his stuff his is always willing to repeat something or clarify his points. He teches more on a University level and therefore students at a State College coomplain. I barely studied for his test a nd made A's all the way through. Highly Recommend

I did not like him! he did not use the text book at all. He talks really low so it is hard to hear him. I hate testing because of the blue book way. He gives us terms we study then he will choose 20 out of 40 he gives and you choose 10 and same on the other sections.

Comment:

Mr. Gilbert is a really great teacher who knows his stuff. Can't believe people are complaining about note-taking,(what, do you sleep through other classes?) this is COLLEGE. Not an "easy A" class. Study for the tests and they aren't difficult. I definitely recommend him if you actually want to, you know...LEARN SOMETHING. Passed with an A.

Comment:

He's very educated on his subject, but his lectures tend to be boring. He's got a witty sense of humor and lots of jokes that help keep ya awake. Won't need the book, and he takes role everyday. A recorder would be a good idea to catch details!

Comment:

Mr. Gilbert is probably the hardest teacher I have ever had. He is a great teacher and gives you absolutely everything you need to pass his class, but it's hard to stay attentive when you're falling asleep to the sound of his voice. Stay awake during his class and take absolutely spot on notes and you can get a good grade. I wish you all good luck!
