CollegeThis was his last quarter teaching so his material feels very degraded and he was not present for his material. It was all online and most interactions are through the TA's. It was all essays and his lectures really did not add anything to the work.
There is a essay midterm and final, but a heavily weighted research paper (if you get an A on the paper then you will basically pass with an A or B+). I had a great TA and discussion posts were clear of what was expected.
super easy class, lectures are quite random and unnecessary, but he gives pop quizzes. If you go to lecture and skim the readings class is easy
one of the best profs in the english department. lectures gave context to the readings and grade is based on a paper, midterm, final. he goes on tangents sometimes but he really cares about class material.
i did not expect to enjoy English 1650-1789 but Prof. Gilmore made it so interesting and related the texts to issues that we're facing currently in the 21st century. lecture is required and also 100% worth it if not just for the really awesome gems of wisdom and humor that he throws into each class. he made a boring topic a lot of fun
Timothy Gilmore is a wonderful professor. Yes, he sometimes rambles, but his rambling is a clear sign of his passion. Its an easy class if you actually pay attention to the lectures. Also his voice is very soothing. If you think Timmy talks too slow or too boring, simply put his lectures on 1.4x speed. He deserve a higher RMP grade!!
