Eh, I took this class cause I needed the credits for ES and lit but wouldn't recommend. Lectures are all over the place with very little organization. As far as ES classes go this one's pretty boring, I would much rather take pretty much any other ES class instead of this one.

This 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.

Professor Gilmore is awesome. His lectures are thought-provoking, and he was constantly relating course material to daily life. He does go on the occasional tangent, and there are pop quizzes throughout the quarter (so you can't skip out on lecture), but I really enjoyed this class and the material it covered.

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.
