Reviews of professor Andrew Gilbert

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I had Andy for my Narrative Analysis class and he was great professor. Gives incredible lectures and is very understanding. I would easily take a class with him again.

Very passionate and interactive professor, was also flexible with attendance due to illness/extenuating circumstances but strict in taking attendance. Lots of discussion, analyzing different mediums, and short writing prompts. Very fun class!

Has good things to say but is mildly sexist. If you're a girl, be prepared to not be called on, have your answers nitpicked more than the boys', and to play a silent part at the table. He's not as bad as other professors, but he's not great, either, and that's the scary thing.

Dr. Gilbert was one of my favorite professors at CU! He made the class so fun and interesting and I loved taking a part in his discussions. He is very knowledgeable and he cares for his students. This class is an easy A if you're willing to participate in the lectures and read the pages he assigns. I would recommend him to anyone taking humanities!

Andy is great, I took HUMN 1003 with him (wasn't listed above). This class is called "conflicts in history" but it is not a history class in the way you would usually think. It's much more of a philosophy class where you go into how history is affected by outside biases. Still very cool but don't expect a classic history class.

Favorite professor I've had at CU. The lectures were super interesting and one of the only classes I've looked forward to going to in my time here. Prof. Gilbert is a super charismatic and funny guy and I cannot recommend this course enough. Very easy as long as you do the readings which are also very interesting and show up to class.

Andy's Avatars class covers some tough, mind-blowing concepts, but he does a great job of navigating the lectures to make sure everyone understands. He assigns a few online concept-based responses, a short essay, and a final essay; it's most important that you show up to class and try your best. He's a kind prof who wants everyone to succeed!

Amazing and intriguing lectures. Easy course, just make sure to do the readings.

Andy is my favorite professor at CU. He is so kind and his lectures blow my mind every time; he explains his ideas very simply and yet they are nothing you'll ever find elsewhere. He's also an extremely accommodating professor! Attendance is point-based but worth it (4 excused), there's usually one essay, an open note midterm, and a final essay.

Understanding, knowledgeable, and respectful. Dr. Gilbert is an intelligent and kind-hearted lecturer. He keeps his lectures focused and sparks fascinating philosophical and existential discussion. The humanities department at CU is lucky to have him.
