Class was virtually useless. Saved by my awesome TA, but lectures and reading are literally not necessary. All graded assignments are totally separate and I learned virtually nothing new. Gilmores lectures are rambling, disorganized, and frankly a bit off-putting. If you have the choice, dont take this class with him.

Lecture was disorganized. Gilmore rambled a lot which made it difficult to take notes. All poetry focused - no other texts.

Lectures were incredibly interesting, especially how he delves into the writers' psychology. He does stop and ponder what he's going to say next a lot which breaks my focus when taking notes. Also wished that the syllabus wasn't just poems. One essay, 50% of your grade. One midterm and final, same format - one timed essay. Overall, a cool class.

Midterm, final, one paper. AMAZING professor, insightful lectures. I learned a lot from the class and would def take a class of his again. Tests are fairly difficult so keep up on reading and study a LOT. Section is very helpful in going over the material. Overall thought the class was super interesting and gained a lot from it, really great prof
