great guy, funny teacher, fun teaching methods and he explains himself

Very good teacher. Somehow the geeks on planet math didn't breed another crappy math teacher, I don't know how but they did.

Gilbert is a really cool teacher for a very dull subject. The book is really easy but kinda time consuming. He is very funny and a fair test writer. Do the homework and you will have no prob.

Great teacher, lots of extra credit! Really easy to understand. Very approachable guy. Kinda goofy in a good way ;-)

very good teacher, very clear and easy

I agree with everyone, he is an awesome teacher and a really nice guy too. Im awful in Math and I did well in this class. I highly recommend him!

Great teacher, i took him twice (different courses). Fun, relaxed personality. Do the homework pay attention in class and you should have a good grade. The material on the tests are presented in lecture, so its a matter of remembering how to do the problems.

Gilbert is one of the hottest teacher in SBCC. Not only that, he is also a very good teacher. He explains statistics very well. The homework is timeconsuming, but as long as you do it, you won't have any problems with midterms, quizes and final ... At least you will have a B on this class ...

i loved this class so much! he is the best stats teacher at SBCC for sure! not to mention the hottest! i love to see him smile - it makes my day:)

This is a great Stat prof. His notes are very clear and easy to go back to when you need help on the homework. He also has a nice smile that helps ease the pain when you are learning t scores and all that other fun stuff!

Super hot teacher and the class is good too :)

This guy is awesome!! If you want to learn math & have fun at the same time, this is the guy to take it with!! To succeed in the class: do your HW assingments & attend class regularly. His quizzes are HW based ?'s (easy). If you do well on this, you should be excellent for the midterms. His grading is flexible & does give partial credit.

At first I thought he was a great teacher, but then I relized he is a gerk who sees everthing black or white. He is harder on the top students, which I think is unfair! Hes not hot, maybe semi-attractive, but so far from hot. He is a pretty good techer overall though, as I person I think he is an ass!

good guy, i strongly recommend this prof for stats

Easygoing, accesible, helpful. Nice guy overall.

the online class was pretty easy- we were allowed to use a page of equations and notes on each exam, but we had timed online tests every week or so. it was work, but the quizzes keep you on top of things.

took his statistics class online. Do the reading and complete the weekly quiz. Tests are on campus and if you're on top of things they're easy...Good teach....Got a B

good to see a job well done

I took his online class. Everything he posted online sounded like he was really tough, but he's actually a very nice guy. For the online class, exams are on-campus. He was very helpful in allowing me to reschedule my exams when another class interfered. Very willing to help, very accessible. I'm not a math person but he made the class fairly easy.

He's cool. Get use to his personality. He makes this lil smirk when he's about to be sarcastic but in a way that is sly. Do all your hw bcause sometimes he asks for it & on days when there r too many absences and u look unprepared, he'll ask for hw ;) ! He's mellow, and a great mathematician. Down to earth kind of guy BUT tests r tricky so study!

Gilby is probably one of the best teachers I have had so far at sbcc. His tests are pretty tough, and he likes to be vague about what will be on his tests, but I learned a lot. I actually thought i was going to fail this class, but i ended up getting a B. But by all means, do not expect an easy A. Be prepared for word problems.

Great guy. Helpful. Presents information very clearly. Tests are tough so keep up with homework and studying.

He makes the class so much fun by telling stories and applying them to the class. The fact that he is so hot also makes it worth it to come to class ;)

He is a great teacher. He breaks down the material and makes them really easy. I took him for both 130 and 131 and it helped me alot. I got D in HS calc and the grade jumped up in college. I also got interested in calc. Take him for calc!!!Good Luck!

His class was easy. Although I find myself to be math oriented. Stats is pretty basic math, just applying it differently. He will help you if you ask, plus he has office hours. His tests are straight forward and do not intend to trick you. He does not put material on that you have not learned.

Took his online class. I thought it was extremely hard, but got a B. MUST do homework in book and online. MUST take quizzes and tests. Go to his office hours for help. Not impossible but takes time.

I was so nervous about taking math 117 becasue so many people told me it was incredibly hard...but It is so much easier than actual math. Mr. Gilbert is so awesome he makes everything understood and is willing to help you if you don't. I hate math but i got A's and B's..i deff reccomment him!!!!

Absolutely loved Gilbert. He recommends homework but doesn't collect most of it so it doesn't bring down your grade. He is willing to discuss grades and will happily work out problems with you. Take this teacher.

Great teacher for a very hard class. Took it online and he was very understanding. Didnt do much of the online work cuz it was bs but got B's on the tests and passed fine. grades tests easily. this class really sucks, but he'll help you pass. take him over others

Took on-line class in summer. Very, very well-organized, which is key for both on-line and summer. Instructor was clear, fair and specifically warned that the class would be very fast-paced and require a substantial amount of work. Both were true.

Mr. Gilbert is the best teacher i have ever had in math!! He is very helpful and explains everything in a way that is very understandable. He answers all of his emails in a timely fashion and if you cant make his office hours he is willing to schedule a time to meet. Take this teacher over all others! He is the best by far!

LOOOOOVED this teacher. Knows his math. Best math teacher at city college. Willing to help, he really cares. Highly recommend him over all others!!

mixed feelings about gilbert. He is an amazing teacher, really has a gift. He's extremely clear and got me understanding almost everything he covered. BUT class is so boring. hes completley monotone, never smiles. no sense of humor. he gives strenuous amounts of hw. if your going for easy A this is not your guy. if yer into math n wanna learn do it

Good professor. Challenging class. Go to class & pay attention. Do all the assignments. Not an easy A but achievable if you put in the time.

I really like him but I can see why others might not. He's a fantastic teacher, really knowledgeable, but it's certainly not an easy class. If you just need to pass 150 to transfer, find someone easier. If you really care about knowing the material, he's your guy. Be prepared to work hard and take moderate to difficult tests.

Online summer course requires commitment and focus, but the work itself is not too difficult. He is a very generous grader on tests.(gives partial credit) Though the test can be hard, and you will spend a tone of time on hw and quizzes, it's not as bad as others are saying. Make sure you are not taking any other classes in the summer.

Great teacher! I've found that the people who complain about him in class tend to be the ones not trying hard/doing well. Very clear but read your book- I took his 150 & 160 b/c I liked him so much but he definitely is not as thorough in the higher classes (rightfully so).

It is a difficult class and my suggestion is to do the online homework over and over till you achieve 100%, print out the homework and use for open book quiz and for the labs hire a tutor. Class is NOT entirely online as advertised. You will require a proctor if not taken on campus. Subject is difficult, I have not had a lot of interaction with him

Took this class online and did decently well (B). There is a lot of online homework that is very time-consuming but it helps with the test. There are also lab assignments and exams are on-campus. Exams aren't easy, but not impossible either--you do need to study. For the on-campus exams he seemed friendly and helpful enough.

I took his online stats class and it is pretty much a teach yourself class. He does provide many PowerPoints and helpful links but you must be completely self motivated. He is also extremely helpful during his office hours so take advantage of that. Lots of homework, three labs, 4 tests and one final and he drops your lowest test score.

Such a great teacher. He is very fair and makes all the material so easy. 3 midterms, a final, and weekly quizzes that you almost always take with a partner. The hw is not always mandatory, he let's you know when he will collect it. I am usually awful at math but he made this class SO easy. I loved it!

I loved this guy! He is a really nice person and awesome teacher. He loves answering questions and knows how to explain things really well. I suggest taking the class in person. Online stats seems a lot harder. Plus you learn more in person.

The online class is hard. So, be prepared to work through every single problem. The professor has everything organized so that the class moves along consistently; building on each previous subject. Notes are used on each exam and final, to save space, I programmed the statistics formulas into the calculator. Great class and I learned a lot!

Honestly, it wasn't awful. I did it for the summer online and it was really fast paced but not impossible. I agree it should be your only class if taking it over the summer. He was fair, allowed notes, gave partial credit, etc. you get what you work for :)

I took Gilbert's Stats class online over summer. It was definitely fast-paced, but manageable. Out of 30 hw he drops the lowest 8 & out of 15 quizzes he drops the lowest 5. Very fair. Since hw/quizzes are online & basically open note, if you stay on top of your work and make good note sheets for the exams, you'll be golden. I did that & got an A.

David is the absolute best teacher I've ever had. I have always been a C student in math but received an A in David's Stats course. Show that you want a good grade and are willing to work very hard, and he is so accommodating and helpful. Show up and work hard! I would take this class over just to have him as a teacher again!

I have trouble with math and I passed with a B, but it was grueling. You'll need to work for it. The class is pretty well-structured and looking back, it wasn't so difficult, just that in the time you have to learn everything it can be a lot of new material, especially if you're not a great math student. I'm glad to have passed through this class!

Gilbert is a great teacher, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Be disciplined, do the homework (frequent, but not inordinately excessive) sit in front, pay attention and ask questions, and you should be fine. If you are looking for someone to "cut you a break" or "be a bro", look elsewhere. I have tons of respect for him and glad I met him.

Professor Gilbert is not a bad teacher if you are good at math. The class is easy if you study and do the homework. There is a lot of homework assigned but he does not collect it each class. There are quizzes but most of them are group quizzes. The tests are not hard at all if you study. Get ready to pay attention and you should get an easy A

David is a great professor! He clearly loves the subject, as well as teaching, and answers questions thoughtfully and clearly. He assigns homework almost every class, but he doesn't grade all of it - and he won't tell you beforehand whether he will be grading it or not. As long as you study and do the homework, you will succeed in the class.

good professor!

Taking stats online is quite difficult unless you are familiar with this type of math. Prof Gilbert can seem short in his emails, then again he is simply responding to your questions without a bunch of smiley faces. I enjoyed his class and I truly believe he cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. Take in person, not online!

Mr. Gilbert was a really great professor! I'm not a huge fan of math and I've always struggled with it but his lectures were always super easy to follow. He explains topics very clearly and helps you understand. Definitely a lot of homework, but it's usually pretty simple. I would take him again, and I recommend taking him!

The best professor of my first semester. Calculus is pretty hard, and professors makes it clear that it is necessary to do a lot of work to get it. Be ready to spend couple hours after each class on a homework. There are a lot of group quizzes, they really help you to study, not to remember. It is also allowed to use graphic calculator.

Tests were difficult, there were some questions that we only went over once in class that were on the test, but overall not too bad. He uses your grade for the final to replace your lowest test grade which is awesome. This class definitely required a lot of effort to be put in. I definitely suggest making a study group/going to the math lab.

all of the reviews may have been for online. I had Gilbert in person and he was AMAZING. Probably the best math teacher I've ever had. While class can get boring, his teaching is very straight forward. You get to do quizzes with the whole class, and you get half a piece of paper to write notes on for the tests and final. He loves helping.

Love his class. Everything is straight forward in his class. Show up and pay attention and it will turn into an A. He allows a notecard on tests. He says "i dont care" and "do it how you want" to many things which allows you to not be confined to just the way solves the math problems. The way he teaches is entertaining and he has a sense on humor.

I loooved Mr. Gilbert he was so awesome I took Stats and he was able to explain everything clearly and made it straightforward. If you do the homework you'll be fine but if you dont you will not pass. He was so funny and encouraging i'd definitely recommend.

He is a great in person teacher. He explains the concepts very thoroughly and is always offering to answer questions or spend time outside of class on subjects. His syllabus policy is very beneficial for students as well due to his willingness of dropping 10 homework grades if scored low and he could use the final to replace one of the exams

Prof Gilbert's class is straightforward - show up, pay attention, and you can get an A. He's hands-off but allows flexibility. unstuck ai was a lifesaver for test prep along with the textbook. Overall, a decent math class if you're self-motivated.

Cares for students' success. Quick response time, whether in person or replying to email. Entertaining, fun, easy lectures. Lectures are for the most important; the rest of the chapters are up to the student to study. Clear directions. Homework matters. Fun, easy personality, approachable. I bugged him with so many dumb questions, lol.

Easiest math class I've taken. First third is Math 150 review; new topics like integration by parts, parameterization, and series are manageable with a solid calculus foundation. Exams are light and similar to homework. Quizzes are group-based, so it's hard to do poorly. Instructor explains well and answers all questions. Highly recommended.

amazing teacher

Math 117 was one of my favorite classes in all of collage, Prof. Gilbert was kind and had some awesome lectures, he was a tough grader though

One of the best teachers you know!
