If you don't pass her class, its because you just didn't show up at all. I took her online and she is more that willing to work with you on extra credit, exam technical difficulty, and assignment explanations. She is very motivating in her announcement postings and encourages you not to give up or slack off. Deadlines pop up quickly, so be ready.

Im so glad I took methods with Gilmore. She didn't bog us down with tons of lithe assignments. There is one main paper that she grades in little stages, so that your final paper has basically been proof read throughout the semester. She also gave reviews for the midterm and final (but they DONT cover it all, so study). Super fast email response

Professor Gilmore is an awesome professor. She makes you think in a way that you haven't before and helps you understand things by giving examples.

Was so lucky to get Dr. Gilmore for Freshmen Seminar. The class was about study skills, organization, school policy, stuff like that. Seems boring, but she made it great! Learned a bunch about criminal justice jobs, anddifferent classes offered in the program. Can't wait to take her again!

First time taking her for a course - online Senior Seminar. You will write and turn in an assignment every week - but she keeps it fun and interesting related to criminal justice. NO EXAMS AND NO TEXTBOOK TO BUY which was great for me. She really helped me improve my writing. My only complaint is that her classes fill SO FAST. She needs more!

May Mini Sex Crimes. Great set up, all we needed was up and available. Test reviews were provided, as were slides. Grading was fast and professor was very responsive. Would absolutely take her again, especially in a mini.

Child abuse and neglect summer three. Professor is an expert in the content, having worked in this field with children before. Outside course assignments involved watching videos and documentaries. The course had a midterm and final, as well as four writing assignments. Lectures were very engaging and current to emerging issues in criminal justice.

Criminal Investigations. It's a crime scene course. We got to dust for prints, roll prints, and even classify prints. I love her class - wish I had taken her sooner.

Ms. Gilmore was a great teacher (I have taken 3 of her classes I think). She is very enthusiastic, and you can tell she loves to teach. Just put your effort into the class, and you will get a great grade.

I really enjoyed this Sex Crimes class. Professor Gilmore gave good feedback. She even offered extra credit. There were discussions, reflection journals, midterm and final. She always kept the class up to date and reminded us when assignments were due. As long as you do the work you will pass. The work was not very hard.

Child Abuse COurse taken in Summer Three. Two heavy and intensive writing assignments. Lots of reading - be prepared to come to class and discuss all the links in Blackboard, because it is a major component of your grade. Attendance is MANDATORY, or you will not pass. This class was amazing, I learned so much. TAKE HER!

While Dr. Gilmore made it clear the content is tough, be advised the content in this class is the real deal, stomach turning, really upsetting stuff. Weekly discussion boards (you need Netflix), reflective journals, quizes, and self care check ins (yup you need them). I loved every second of this class and left inspired.

Took this class as an elective. Worst mistake ever. Summer class during Covid... if you are not an English professor do Not take her. Her class is really a English/ grammar class... she takes forever to grade anything and when she does its too late to correct your self.

Best criminal justice elective I have taken. You learn about all different types of Investigations (so accidents, suicides, natural) and even how remains are autopsied. Learned so much and was glad as a current CJ professional to have this knowledge. Professor was great at getting back and answering questions. Would take her again and again.

I have never been around such an smart professor. Dr. G. knows everything there is to know about Death Investigations, I work in homicide, I was shocked at how much I learned. Dr. G. makes all her slides and lets you have them. Exams are online. She is also incredibly down to earth and clearly loves her students. Would take her again in a heartbeat

Gilmore is a cool person but not so great of a professor. She doesnt follow her own syllabus. She doesnt post majority of the assignments that are on the syllabus. I have only done two assignments and two exams this semester. Ive completed the first assignment back in September(its now November) and she still hasnt graded it.

Child abuse course that had service learning. It was unfair that our community partner had delays ok our background check, but Dr. Gilmore helped us and made sure we got through. I learned a lot and felt that the modifications were more than fair to everyone. Really liked the lecture on how to interview children with forensic techniques

Dr. Gilmore's classes are well-planned, and organized, in content necessary for criminal justice professional development. Dr. Gilmore stays involved in the University, hosting many public events for the student class to meet and interact other professionals around Houston. Recommended for any of her courses as they are taught exceptionally well.

I took Dr. Gilmore for three courses- Senior Seminar, and Field Research Experience (1 and 2). This is my third review. Of course, my opinions as stated - an exceptional educator and involves students in the community. Sometimes her overwork shows...sometimes a little late. Take this with a grain of salt because she offers opportunity for all.

Awful, difficult, unclear grading criteria. W/ every assignment it stated "email me if you have any questions" she never responded to any of my emails from late Sept until 2 days after classes ended. She stated that we may submit assignment revisions to her email. 2 months after I resubmittd she said she was confused as to why I emailed her. (:
