If you want to learn how to eat right, take this class! Prof. Gilbert is hilarious and he makes sure we walk away from class with good practical knowledge about how to eat well. (Those types of questions will be on the tests too). It's not SUPER easy, you need to study and know how to apply the material. I had so much fun in this class. Take it!
I expected this class to be so easy but it ended up being a little challenging but very interesting. I loved going to class but had to study hard. Prof Gilbert is very caring and funny. I hope to take more of his classes in the future.
Art Gilbert is a fantastic lecturer. He's hilarious and keeps you engaged in the material. I looked forward to going to every class and never felt bored. He's passionate about the subject and really seems to care about his students' well being.
anything on the test is not in the workbook that he assigns, all of his power points are ridiculous and don't match up to the workbook so when one is studying there is no point of reference to the questions. also asks trick questions on midterm and final and hes totally full of himself and thinks hes funny but hes not.
Great professor, one of the few classes I actually retained knowledge from. Very passionate about his subject, so pretty strict. The large book is necessary for all of the class, the small one he wrote isn't (you NEVER use it). Go to class you'll pass it, takes effort to get an "A" however. I highly recommend the class.
Best class ever. you'll learn a lot of things about nutrition that will help you in life. topics were very interesting and it made me wanna take his physiology class. i studied hard and got A+.tests can be tricky but if you do extra credit and RFC's you'll be fine.
Great professor, great class. I got a B- on the midterm and a B on the final. With the curve and the homework grade added, I ended up with an A- in the class!

He's an outstanding professor. The lectures were almost always interesting and he could be funny but in a sort of cruel way. Most of the test prep questions can't be found in the textbook alone. Attending lectures and taking vivid notes is helpful. Tests can be a little tricky but the overall class was great.
Gilbert is an awesome professor. This class can get kinda boring at times, but he really knows a lot about nutrition an health! You have to go to class to turn in RFC's but it's extremely easy. Midterm is easy as long as you study the workbook and read over the notes.
Amazing and funny professor. Attendance is mandatory to turn in RFC's but they're really easy to do. He knows a lot about the topic. Very passionate and truly cares about the choices we make. Class Recommended!
He presents the first lecture, students present the rest. You get into groups and choose a topic and present it to the class. There are quizzes after each lecture. You are required to work 2hrs a week at the wellness and fitness institute and it's fun. On slow days you can just do hw in there. Gilbert is extremely helpful and an AMAZING professor!
I LOVED him, he is a great teacher and knows what he is talking about. He cares a lot about the course and his students!! TAKE HIM he's a hottieee <3
This is my second time taking one of Dr. Gilbert's classes. He gets a bad rap for being a HARD prof, but he really knows his stuff. His tests may be tricky, but if you read the book and go to lecture (there is an attendance sheet) you should do well. Go to the optional sections, I know I wish I did!!
u can tell gilbert really cares about the material he is teaching. he really believes in it and sometimes people can mistake his genuine passion for the subject to be a little standoffish and cold. take his class seriously and use what u learn in ur everyday life. do the RFCs! dont buy the little green book. we dont use it. hard class but worth it.
love him!
Awesome professor...dry wit and he really just wants us to have good long lives, which really is dependent on our health, which is what this class is all about. Loved it. Don't but the small book, just buy the one with the RFC's in it. We never even opened the small one even though he kept pushing everyone to buy it.
you have to go to class because you turn something in everyday. He won't tell you this but you don't have to buy the book. Just type the RFCs off a friend's and submit them for the same credit. I didn't pay attention in class but i studied and got an a- in the class. GO TO THE REVIEW SESSIONS. they help to see what he thinks is important.
Awful class, I am a third year and have taken HARD classes and never received below a b..well there's a first for everything..i took this class and got a c+ the worst part is that i was taking it for fun!!! haha this class is the opposite of fun..dont take it. Monotonous teacher who puts RIDICULOUS questions on the tests!
this professor SUCKS! avoid him at all costs. he knows a lot about physiology but can't teach it to save his life. he always says unnecessary things in lectures that he doesn't test us on. this class should have a section because it gets really confusing sometimes.
Excellent lecturer; class material is practical and interesting. If you are interested in keeping your body in tip top shape then you will like this class. Attendance is absolutely necessary as there is no reading in the text book so you cant learn anything from it. The text book sucks, he probably wrote it to finance vacations. He is a great
I've taken ESS 3, 40, 101, and soon 182 with Gilbert. People try to give him a bad wrap for being a "tricky" tester but in my experience, if you attend lecture and review the slides each week, you get a straight A. He often gives opportunities for extra credit, which teachers rarely do. I wish he taught more classes at UCSB!
Art Gilbert is the man. Im surprised with the negative comments. If you have the chance take this class. He knows his stuff and does really well with lectures. TAKE NOTES and pay attention. Study and do the practice tests his questions are tricky so know the material. Taught me a lot, I've improved my eating habits greatly. Inspired by his passion
Awful teacher! he just reads off of his slides!
