This is the best professor I have had for many reasons. He is extremely interesting, he is a motivator, you can learn and have fun in this class, and he prepares you for any situation you might come across in life. I recommend this Prof. and class 100%.

Best college professor I ever had. He's a motivator. Always keeps you on your toes.

What a great class!!! One of the most motivating profs you will ever meet. A lot of guest speakers. Dr. Rob rocks!

Had this guy for Social Problems in Sports and will take any class he teaches. Awesome prof that is so good that attendance is not required and everyone still shows up. Needs to drop Boston accent tho, nomaaaaaaaar.

I took him for Yoga but we rarely did Yoga. He is a motivational speaker and he spent a lot of time "motivating" us and showing clips from Oprah. We brought our Yoga mats to class for NOTHING plenty of times, but he's really easy and doesn't e

Incredibly easy, watch a lot of Oprah, would take more classes of his because they are sooooooooooo easy.

He's a great professor if you want to learn alot about nothing. You can bust his **** for being a Red Sox fan. Take his class if you want to be entertained.

extremely easy teacher. show up to the first and last 2 classes of the semester. he doesn't give tests, take attendance, or give homework so there's no point in being there. just get the study guide for the final and ur set

u dont have to EVER go to class if u dont want to as long as u get the study guide for the final and u got urself and A... good teacher and people love him - but if hes not gonna take a attentdance im not goin to him class - VERY EASY A

I had him for yoga, just took the final today. The class had little to do with Yoga and we almost never did yoga. You don't even need to buy a yoga mat. The final was BAD. 20 essay questions that each took up a page in those little blue books.

If you don't get the grade you want on the final then you can take it over. He is very nice and understanding. Make sure you ask him ?'s about hims life. He is all about trying to see things from other prespectives. Just talk to the man.

He is the best teacher. he inspires you so much, if your life wasn't going that good, after you take his class, you will be a new person. Very nice, funny..and gives u the answers of the final...

Really great class!He discusses so many things that may really be beneficial to you in everything you do.I definitley recommend him.

Greatest class I ever had. He is extremely motivational, and gives lots of tips on life in general. Little yoga in the class, but still a great class. I would recommend anyone to take this class.

This guy is absolutely dedicated to his profession. If it were not for him i would have dropped out. He goes the extra distance.

This guy is awesome. If you have the opportunity to take his class take advantage. He really cares about his students and goes the extra mile. He is very motivating considering this class meets at 7am.

Awesome...funny guy. But believe it or not, you will remember some of the things her tells you!! Take anything he teaches. I have taken him twice....

Dr. Gilbert is the best thing to happen to Montclair State. He is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met in my life. He really cares about each individual and gets everyone involved. I took him twice, and if I wasn't graduating this semester, I would definitely take him again.

He is the only professor I've had who actually cared about his students. He is very motivational and it is a great expreience to be in his class. I definately recommend taking him if you have the opportunity.

This class was a great class but it wasn't what I signed up for. You do very little yoga in the form of poses. He teaches "mental" yoga. Although I would of liked to do the actual art of yoga, I enjoyed this class. Very captivating speaker.

Dr. Gilbert is great, he's the best teacher to take for freshman experience. In his class you have basically nothing to do. He goes little crazy on the final, for an A you have to study for it, but that's a small price to pay for a semester of movies and interesting talks. (doesn't take attendance)

He's great! Take him, you'll learn a lot of helpful info. He encourages you to believe in yourself and your own abilities. And he is very helpful, everyone is given the opportunity to get an A.

This guy Rules, don't listen to any negative comments about him, Mr. Gilbert is a great guy and great teacher. Where in school to learn and this is one class (teacher) that really makes a difference in peoples lives. Take his class its a must before graduation.

He's the man! He says the same thing over and over but that's okay because it'll eventually stick and you'll be doing yourself good. Great magic tricks too! No work, just the final which u could probably wing anyway.

He's great! One of the best classes I have ever taken. He will tell you alot of stories that u will learn from and remember.

He's great. It's an easy class but u will learn a lot if you listen and attend the lectures. Invites a lot of guest speakers to class. Talk to him after class he's always willing to listen, loves stories, and tries to be helpful.

THE BEST PROFESSOR IN THE WORLD!!!

He is the best professor in the world, other professors should be more like Dr.Gilbert. He is a great guy,funny,interesting. I had him for a summer class and the class was at 7:30 in the morning,I was never late and never missed a class, because he made class a very fun environment,I learned so much from him. Take Dr.Gilbert,it will change ur life.

Dr. Gilber is the best professor in the world. You should feel lucky if you are in his class. This man changed my life. He has more confidence in his students then the students' parents have in them. Very down to earth guy, extremely easy to talk to and extremely helpful. Looking forward to taking more of his classes.

He is by far the best MSU has to offer. He truely believes in students and makes it known. You should feel blessed if you have the opportunity to get into one of his classes. He is a very motivational person, you will take his stories with you long after the class is over.

this class was awesome !

What a waste of my money!! No syllabus, no books. What the hell are we graded on? Can someone tell me?

He's an awesome, inspiring professor. If you fail his class, it is your fault. He is by far the best montclair has to offer. I have taken him 2 x's already and i wish i wasn't graduating so i could take him for a few more classes. Highly recommended. No books, no attendance, just a long essay final. He lets u retake the final if u did bad, also. A+

He changed my life. The best ever!!! Every PE student should have him.

Dr. Gibert is the best professor that MSU has, he is such a nice person. I think everyone should take him. And the people that don't like him are lazy. He is so helpful and understanding. He changed my life. He made me a better student and person.

Great class. Little actual yoga....but tries to be highly motivational. You'll learn a lot from him if you're open-minded and willing to step outside the box. Take him.....easy A for those who aren't lazy.

One of the best professors at MSU. Brilliant and inspring. I only wish I had more teachers/professors like him.

Dr. Gilbert is a great guy and is very motivating. This is the easiest class I have ever taken. You watch Sports highlights and problems in sports. No test,quiz, or homework,NOTHING! He goes over the entire final with u for like 2 weeks..he goes very,very very in depth with whats going to be on the final..EASY A

He really cares and will help you no matter what. You need to make an effort and he will meet you half way. He is honest. He likes to inspire instead of just teach a bunch of useless stuff. I will never forget what I learned from his class.

Awesome and motivational. Extremely intelligent and full of energy. Teaches things that are life long lessons and not boring. Definite good choice for majors or non majors.

What a gem! This guy is soooo interesting. He believes in his students. I felt like he really cared. He has this free hotline that you can call every day to get motivated. He truly wants to help others succeed. Highly recommended!

Dr. Gilbert is by far the best MSU has to offer. If you can, DEFINITLEY take any course with him. We will change your college career! He is fantastic and such a greta person and you would be deprived if you never take him.

If you want to hear a motivational speech twice a week, take this class. If you want to learn yoga, don't. Don't bother buying a mat, we used it once.

I am SO surprised that there are bad ratings for this man. He is an amazing man! So inspirational and motivational. He has a big heart and truly wants us to succeed! You will learn so much in this class,maybe not about sports,but about life and how it affects you IN sports.Attendance isn't even mandatory but it is so interesting that EVERYONE goes!

incredible human being, amazing professor. dr gilbert is one of the best people you'll meet in your life. highly motivational and very inspiring. does magic tricks in class and relates everything to determination which eventually he connects to sports. highly recommended.

He's awesome. He will change your view of college and future career. He's really smart and funny. He cares alot about his students. Everything he does is valuable to your life and knowledge. Only had him for new student seminar, but any class with him should be awesome!! Love him!

Gets you highly motivated to be into school

I don't know how anyone could give this guy a bad rating... He is amazing. Probably the nicest guy you will ever meet, and he has faith in all of his students. He really dedicates his life to help everyone out. I wish I could take him again if I wasn't graduating! Take him, you won't be disappointed. great guy.

He is the only professor in my entire college life that guessed a random word out of a random page from a 408 page book. He was Right too!!!! Isn't that Awesome!!!:) He is the only positive influence in my life right now...You are Amazing Dr.Gilbert

Anyone who wrote a bad critique for Dr. Gilbert is out of their mind. He lets his student just come to class as they please and let loose, relax, and not have to worry about structure, tests, and life! Class is always interesting and he is fun to listen to and talk with. Take him!

greatest teacher in the world. very easy and interesting class. gives weird final exam.

He's a great professor. He cares about educating his students in all different aspects and ways. He's extremely intelligent and very successful. He's interesting and funny. He actually makes you wanna do well in life, and he is quite an inspiration. He doesnt take attendance and class is usually fun or interesting.

I battled all semester whether I liked this professor or not. You will learn some useful things. How to motivate and how to become successful at anything you do are among some of the lessons learned. I completely understand those students who have experienced differences with this professor, and at the same time why some may really like him. Jus

Just a couple of complaints: the final should not be the entire basis of the student?s grade in this course. It makes you feel that your in class contribution means nothing. In addition maybe he should take attendance and hold those who don?t attend accountable. Their not being there is a detriment to the learning of everyone else.

He's great!!! So motivating and I honestly look forward to going to this class all week!! He's so chill and guest speakers are not boring at all. Really helps you out in life situations. TAKE HIM!!

If you had to take any professor at Montclair, take this man. Extremely helpful and actually cares. Book is not required. Mandatory attendence isn't required but he will notice if your absent more than 2 classes in a row. Very approachable. I can not wait to take him for Yoga. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Best professor ever. He truly wants to help you. He's extremely motivational and does great magic tricks.

I love him! i wish all the professors were like him! he is a great professor! soo take him! its easy A u do NTOHING in the class the attendance is not mandotary at ALL. just let him noe who you are and stuff. maek sure he remembers ur name! so he can atleast give u good grade! he loves to play trickts and pretty good at it=]]]] do take him!!!

Yoga was more like a motivational speaking class. We only did actual Yoga maybe three times in class. Gilbert showed a lot of movies and guest speakers with inspiring stories.

Dr. Gilbert is by the far the best professor I have had at MSU. While there is not a lot of yoga done he warns you the first day that that will occur. He is an excellent motivational speaker and will go out of his way to help a student. His lectures will definitely help me both as a coach and as a person. I highly recommend the class to everybody.

I've never met a professor that cares as much as him. Not just in the classroom, but with any aspect of life. If you need help, he's the guy to go to. His classes aren't in my major and I've taken 4 of them because he makes me enjoy going to his classes. Take him. He teaches life values and strategies, not just yoga.

awesome professor.. only took the course cause i needed 1 more credit in order to fulfill my credit requirement to study and im so happy i took it with him.. teaches u how to succeed in life .. do some yoga like 3x.. no book needed.. take notes 50% of ur grade.. for the final gives u ?'s and answers and lets u retake i until u get an A! TAKE HIM!

Dr. Gilbert is by far the BEST professor at MSU. You will learn many life lessons that you will use for the rest of your life. I have taken 3 classes of his and not even bc i need them for requirements but just bc he teaches them. Attendance is not mandatory but he makes you want to come to class. TAKE him you will nit be disappointed!!

Great professor and motivational speaker had him for freshman seminar easy one credit course however he makes the class interesting attendance is not mandatory however you will want to attend his class. The last few days of class you should attend. Final is time consuming however but somewhat fun to do and easy

He was super helpful and nice! You do have to at least try alittle bit and show up to yoga for an A but it wasn't hard. You can also retake the final as many times as you want. In class we barely did yoga, instead we watched fun movies and listened to guest speakers discuss being positive. I would highly recommend this teacher! Great guy:)

He's definitely a little out there but that's what makes this class fun. You don't do much yoga but he takes attendance every class. The final is basically you telling him stories that relate to what you learn in class.

Profeesor Gilbert is the best man I have met in my college experience. His class is life changing. You dont even have to go he doesnt care theres no papers no homework. Youll want to go to class after meeting him. only grade is a final which you tell 10 different stories of topics he talked about Best Man at this school 100% take him he'll change u

A fun little class to take. More of a life-coaching class than a learning class. Exam is complete BS, not in a good way.

He is easy sometimes he checks the attendance. Although, the final exam is easy if you write a lot. I mean a lot. Then you will get an A if you write a little he will fail you. Otherwise great teacher.

He is a very nice guy, but the class was very annoying. It was like being forced to go to a motivational speaking seminar every week, and you have to go because the questions on the final come from what was gone over in class. Your grade is determined by the final, and as long as you write a lot, you should do well. The more specific the better.

How is this genius not rated a 5.0 He is a demi god filled with so much knowledge. The things that he says in class will literally open up a new world for you. I recommend taking him for every course possible. Get to know Dr. Gilbert outside of the classroom and he will do anything and everything to help you succeed throughout college.

Genius. He really knows how to motivate which is a blessing sometimes. I had no assignments the entire semester. Take notes! I cannot stress that enough. You get graded on it and they are sooooo helpful for the final, which is graded based off your detail. You cannot fail this class! I'm serious he gives everyone an A

This man is the best professor amongst all of the Montclair State staff. I've taken him for two separate classes and haven't had one unenjoyable moment across either class. Great motivator, great speaker and has a plethora of connections, I feel sorry for any student who does not have the wonderful pleasure of taking his class.

Not your typical class. It's him telling you inspirational stories. Pretty useless. The only time you SHOULD show up is a few weeks before the final. He gives you the exact test and the answers. If you don't do the correct format for final, he will fail you. But you have three chances to retake the test. The final exam is the only grade you get.

Dr. Gilbert is a tremendous person. His class is far from your typical college course. He's a sports psychologist and motivational speaker, and his classes are set up more as an open forum for discussion than lecture. He'll show you videos and tell many stories about his own life, and those he knows. Brings in guest speakers as well.

Literally the best professor I've ever had. Learn more about life than useless college stuff. Attendance doesn't count and I still make it to every 2.5 hour lecture. Great class, great professor!

Aw man, Dr. Gilbert was amazing. He had so many funny stories and inspirational things to tell us. He's understanding, he wants everyone to do well in his class. He isn't out to fail you like some professors. Dr. Gilbert is an awesome man. You wont regret taking him.

it was more of a motivational seminar; but he's one of the professors that really care about students! theres only 1 final which you can retake. remember to write a lot

The GOAT. This man is incredible. This class is an hour and fifteen minutes of him sharing his secrets on how to be successful in whatever you do. Never a dull moment in his class. Brilliant sports psychologist and is always striving for learn more and be a better professor. This is the hardest class to fail. Just show up and listen. No work.

His classes are all lectures and he shows us videos and brings in guest speakers. It is a motivational seminar class with only 1 final exam. Attendance is not mandatory but do show up 2 weeks before final's because he gives you the exam answers. He is not there to fail you and you can retake the exam 3 TIMES! *This class does not satisfy gym req!!

I have never meet a better professor who care about his student more than DR G he will go above and beyond what other professors will if you take the time to go to him he will help you the best he can. I took him for PEGN 230 and PEMJ 353 on the first day of class he told us if you don't get an A in this class your trying not to get A in the class

Easy A you dont even really have to worry about this class you show up and basically get an A I took him for personalized fitness and I'm taking him for Sports Psychology and eventually take all of his classes cause he's inspirational will help me with the rest of my classes go to class cause he'll get mad if you all skip so possibly take turns

If you fail his class you probably didn't show up for the exam if you show up and pretend to pay attention you will pass so just do homework during the class and you'll pass

Mr. Gilbert has a great personality and genuinely cares about his students. He is always available to talk to about anything. There are no assignments the entire year besides the final.

Dr. Gilbert is so caring & has such a good vibe. Attendence isnt mandatory but its nice to listen and take in the inspiration & motivation that he spreads in his lectures. One easy final exam with the opportunity to retake. Easy A.

Great Professor!!!!

Professor Gilbert is the best professor I have taken at Montclair State. He truly cares about every student and he wants us all to get an A in the class. There are a few really easy assignments that involve you emailing him and one paper about anything you want. If your interested in learning about sports, definitely take him!

literally top 5

Hes basically just going to show tons of inspirational videos and talk about how to be successful. You do not need to show up for his classes literally until the last month of the semester. 2 things graded on : a final exam that he goes over (listen because its literally the answers) and a 3000 word essay on any athlete that inspires you. Easy A.

Seriously the most down to earth man youll ever meet. He rly gives you advice youll remember for the rest of your life. He changed the way I look at certain situations. Super sweet guy & is always there for you whenever you need it! Definitely recommend!

Dr. Gilbert is definitely the best professor I have had at MSU. He is so passionate about teaching and helping others. I 100% recommend taking Dr. Gilbert, he will change your life!

People say you dont need to go but you do at the end, this is true but he gives the answers to the final throughout the course. Attend class and do yourself the favor. The class is only graded on the final and final paper, super easy, and he will let you redo it.

I highly recommend that you take this class, his stories are amazing and inspirational and I promise you will not regret taking him. This will be an easy course for you. Only two assignments out of the whole entire semester. He gives you opportunity to contact him outside class.

very nice and cares about his students, not much help in the realm of following the freshman seminar course, no way to fail this class

The easiest class you will ever take. As a freshman seminar class, it doesn't work at all as we didn't follow anything that the other classes went over in terms of information about the school, but submitting the 1 assignment you have for the whole semester gets you an easy A. Genuinely just wants to see his students succeed and is a great guy.

Dr. Gilbert is an actual king. I had him for fall 2020 and let me tell you, this man made me laugh a lot on the first day. He made me feel very comfortable getting into college for the first time and tells inspirational stories about his past to the class and he makes students in doubt of their future feel more confident & motivated. He helps alot!

One multiple-choice final exam, he gives answers over the semester. One 3000-word paper on a health topic that's interesting to you. And an essay. He's a nice and very inspirational professor. All he wants is for us to be healthy, and happy, and to live longer. Learned a lot from him, take him, and you won't regret it!

He was by far the most amazing professor that I ever had at Montclair state. He was truly passionate and caring towards his students. He treated everyone as if he knew you for a life time. Truly a good hearted man. The final exam is multiple choice and you can take as many times as you want until you get the grade you want.

Take him if you can he's great

Dr. Gilbert is really an amazing professor. He believes every student can succeed. His class is engaging, inspiring, and useful. It is a class everybody should take. I know some people may take the class because it is easy, but don't. If you try and pick up everything he puts down, you will become an improved version of yourself. Take the class!!

Professor Gilbert is my favorite professor at MSU. He's always willing to help and wants the best for you.

Dr. Gilbert is great! He is very funny and wants you to succeed. I will be taking him again!

Dr. Gilbert is a fantastic professor who makes the class fun and engaging. Attendance is mandatory, but worth it - he gives away the exam answers throughout the semester. The assignments are easy, and unstuck ai was a lifesaver for exam prep. Definitely take this class!

He is a GREAT professor, I honestly learned so much in this class, even just beyond sports.

THE BEST HUMAN BEING I HAVE EVER MET IN MY LIFE!!! this person breathes the life into you. idk why the person below me is pissed, but this class is the easiest class i have ever taken. very entertaining, very interesting, VERY INSPIRATIONAL!!!!!! he will do everything not to fail you and will also change your life, trust me.

Probably one of the best professors I've had in my 4 years. Show up, listen, take some notes and you'll be just fine. Show effort, participate, and do the very few assignments he asks of you and you'll get an A. Attend office hours if needed, he is incredibly cool and approachable. Great connection to have
