Dr. Gilbert is incredibly knowledgable and the information I learned in his class has stuck with me for many years.

I took this class thinking that it would be an easy A... not so. Gilbert's class revolves around his slideshows that you get bundled up in one fat reader. Truly interesting class but his tests, I felt, were ridiculously confusing. A lot of true-false that will have you second-guessing yourself left and right. With good study habits you'll do well.

If you actually read the book and attend lecture you will do well. Also, the extra credit raises your grade by a whole letter grade and all it requires is for you to get a fitness test done at the fitness institute.

Professor Gilbert knows the facts like the back of his hand. Truly knowledgeable; great lecturer. He's very direct and has a sarcastic sense of humor (which makes my day), and he gives you all the information you need in order to live a long, healthy life. One of the best lecturers I've had at UCSB! Wish he taught more classes.

Although the class was very difficult to get a high grade in and the tests were impossible, this class will make you be a healthier person no doubtedly and that was his goal.

he clearly has not bothered to keep up with research for the past 20 years. many of the things he tells you about nutrition (mainly regarding diet composition, saturated fat, cholesterol, and protein) are WAY out dated and would be laughed at in the current nutritional research field.
