Awful professor would never take again. Unfair grading, biased interpretation of texts, and favoritism.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 5/5
This is the hardest class I've taken by far (I've graduated). Gilmore is also the best lecturer I've had. This class is not for the faint of heart, but for those with willing to make war in reading and writing, this class is amazing. The hardest and best class I've taken. Read everything, go to every lecture, realize you don't know how to write.
