She's okay.

I really enjoyed this online class! She is very helpful and taught me a lot in writing.
She might seem tough the first week of class or so, but as you get to know her class, it's pretty easy. She's an easy grader so it's not hard to get an A.
Dr. Gillam is a great teacher. She may seem like a tough teacher on the first day.........But it's not hard to get an A in her class, if you're devoted to do the work. Yea, there's a lot of assignments, but it doesn't take a lot of work to complete...
Great teacher! Loveing the creative writing class. Learning a lot! Will take another class by Dr. Gillam again.
the teacher is awesome. you can tell that she loves the subject. i honestly didn't learn anything in this class. there should be two classes; one for those who don't write and another one for those who already know how to write.
Fun Class!
One of the better teachers I've had. I would certainly recomend her for any writing class. The textbook and teaching methods was perfect and effective
Very fun and informative class. Make sure you read and complete your assignments on time and you'll do fine. Gillam is a great professor!
Dr. Junebug is the best English teacher I've ever had. I learned a lot. Thanks for offering online courses!
I have taken a lot of classes at SJDC, and few teachers have inspired me the way Mrs. Gillam has. She is a true gift. Doug Burruss
I am taking 44B with her next sememster! Can't wait!
awesome teacher, very helpful, fun, and great to talk to in person. Her assignments aren't hard but still teach you a lot. I recommend her to anyone wanting to take any of her classes.
Junebug is an awesome instructor, is very helpful, I have taken two of her classes, and will likely take another. You are a hot pepper to me Dr. J. Thanks for everything..
Professor Gillam was a positive, encouraging instructor who is capable of getting the most out of her students.
Junebug is a wonderful teacher! I enjoyed her course more than ANY of my English classes.
Mrs. Gillam is a great teacher and very helpful. I have taken different English classes before and I learned more out of this one than any other. The mywritinglab.com is a great tool for this class also it helps alot.
Great teacher, very helpful. Participation is a huge part in this class. Took it online. If you need an English, I'd recommend this class. very fun. She said she wanted to be a hot pepper, so yeah.
She was a GREAT teacher!! yes you do have to do work (wow what a surprise), but she helps you with everythng.I really learned something in her class. I defantly reccommend her
She's great and very helpful.
Simply tremendous, but this class is no cakewalk. If you are looking for something easy, look elsewhere. If you want to be a better writer and develop your ability to storycraft, this class is exactly what you are looking for.
I wouldn't say this class is hard, but it does take some time and effort. She is very helpful and answers all questions quickly. A fun professor to have and she makes the class interesting as well. If you are proficient in english she will help you advance, and if you are beginner she will bring you up to speed.
Definitely take this class! Professor G was very helpful and informative. She kept the class from taking a "theological" path, and kept it as a literature study. Very responsive to her on line class.
The online class requires some work but not ridiculous and it's not extremely difficult work. Just do what you're supposed to and by the due date and you'll be fine. The class is organized well so you know what's required fairly easily. The lectures are pretty thorough and she gives you an example of everything she expects of you. Great class!
Professor G is an awesome teacher! She is easy and helpful. She even extended some due dates when she knew many of her students were slacking off. I would recommend her to everyone!

Great instructor always made time to help in anyway possible. She really cares about her students and wants them to suceed. Dr. J is an excellent instructor; this was my third class with her, and I'd take another.
June is a wonderful teacher! I took one of her online classes which consisted of readings and responses along with a couple essays. She is understand and very helpful. If you have to take an English class, take it with her!
Dr. J is a great teacher. She is very supportive. And she made this class a very pleasant learning experience I wish she taught and additional Bible as Literature Class maybe Intermediate :-)
Dr. J is a wonderful and very responsive teacher. If you find her online instructions difficult, she asks your opinion about how to make it better. I really liked this class, finally I understand how to navigate the Bible!
online. time consumming. don't procrastinate or wait the night before grace period ends. take her in class, i heard she is awesome. better than a lot of englis profs. at delta. if i had the choice of say, Powell in class or Gillam's online class, I'd pick online in a heartbeat...even though i hate online classes. buy the books. ask if you have ?s.
Dr. J is an awesome teacher. her class is easy if you do all the work and follow deadline!!! tests, discussions, and projects are easy and no brain require if you have some bible knowledge! i don't think that the text books was much needed, as long as you have a bible to read from. its an easy online class just stay on track and READ ALL DIRECTION
Dr. J is an awesome prof! She is to the point, honest and simply re-states instructions if one does not follow completely. She is not overbearing, but complete in teaching. Even through huge (personal) difficulty this semester, she kept to her instructions and kept up with us, the class. Good luck in this new season of life, Dr. J!!
Good Job!
She is very halpful and fun. I really enjoyed this class and did not have a hard time at all. She gives some work but grades very easy. Do the work and get the points. The final is not bad at all. i totally recommend taking this class!
Great instructor. Very sophisticated. She grades fairly and is helpful whenever needed. Will get bk to u 24 hrs or less. Does not give heavy reading. would take again without second thought!!
Dr Gilliam is a very insightful teacher. I enjoyed her class very much. I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn more about the Bible and also to enjoy it.
I took this class online. Professor Gillam was hands down, the best and most inspiring English teacher I have ever had. She encourages interaction between the students and is always willing to answer questions, clarify assignments and help students in any way possible to succeed. I wish all professors were like her.
Great teacher. The class was challenging, but extremely interesting.
The Bible as Literature is a great course for anyone interested in looking at the Bible from a strictly literary view. The writing assignments were fun and not difficult. Easy, enjoyable class.
Gives great examples in which to complete projects
Prof. Gillam was very helpful and eager to help students fulfill their hidden potential. She was very fair regarding rules and due dates. She was a pleasure to have an instructor.
This was a awesome class. I learned so much from the professor and my peers on how to write short stories. I will take another class from this professor.
this class is informational.
This class is very informative. I learned so much from Dr. Gillam. I would recommend this clas to those who truly want to learn the Bible as Literature. Great class and great teacher! She kept us in line and on the secular level well. Dr. Gillam was very helpful with every aspect of our study and research.
Always around to answer or clarify questions. Teacher often made comments on postings. Showed interest with online course. I have had online courses where instructor would check in once a week. So kudos to junebug!
Please do not take this teacher if u r taking her online!!! This class is a REAL WORKLOAD!! Just do not waste your time and take another teacher! If you do take her, at least take it on campus, I guess she is more lenient there. This teacher is strict, hwk cant be turned in late(not even 1 min). Her tone is really rude and almost ironic!!!
I found this class to be very time consuming, however, I learned a lot from this instructor. The teacher was fair, just gave a lot of homework. Good class...just make sure you don't take too many other classes with it!
This was an internet Creative writing class. There is a lot of writing, but that is the whole point. This class will make you a better writer. You have to participate in online discussions. Awesome teacher.
Mrs. Gillam was a great instructor! She was kind of strict though. I'm glad to have had her as a teacher!
I regret taking this online class from the workload standpoint. I got an A but I had to work very hard to get it and I barely got 90%. The teacher is a nice old lady and she is helpful. At least the teacher was good even though the class was brutal. If you take this class, be prepared to do more writing than you've ever done before.
Tough class. Difficult workload & lots of reading. Should have knowledge of bible. Online is very difficult, one group project that is ridiculous! Very tedious on discussion participation.
taking on-line class; yes course requires alot of reading and writing-if you want to sail through a class don't take this one, if you want to learn and grow beyond your box and realize your potential then do take this course-Professor Gillam interacts frequently with direction and encouragement I give her a hands down A+
junebug loves to write and is commited in her students. she's very kind and helpful. take her creative writing class, if at all interested in the subject. hey, take it even if you are not, its a great elective course.
Professor Gilliam, is a great teacher. She has a passion for what she teaches, shes demanding and unrelenting, all students need teachers like her.Good Job Prof.
Great teacher!
Professor Gillam is an excellent teacher. Class is not easy but it's just a learning process. Read the material and do the assignments ON TIME if you really want that A.
Hi Professor! You have been priceless in my journey with my educationa nd my writing career. I thank you for being such an enthusiastic Professor and hope to register for another class in the future with you. As you have stated many times before....moving onward! I wish you the best.
Professor j was clear in her expectations and continued to guide and encourage through the sometimes difficult concepts in The Bible as Literature class. I would highly recommend her as a teacher!
Professor Gillam is an excellent teacher. Her online course expectations for this class were clear and easy to follow. She is genuinely interested in helping her students progress in their studies.
do NOT take her for the summer. WE HAD TO DO SCHOOL WORK ON THE FOURTH OF JULY!! AND EVEN ON SUNDAYS!!! the work is ez but work load is too much (obviously summer course). Makes you feel stupid when you ask a question. you have been warned!!! maybe better to take in regular semester? good luck.
DR. GILLAM WAS VERY EASY IF A PERSON PAID ATTENTION. SHE EXPLAINED ALL HER ASSIGNMENT IN GREAT DETAIL. I REALLY ENJOYED HER AS MY PROFESSOR. I'D GIVE HER A 10 PLUS.
Professor Gillam is an excellent instructor. She is very facilitative and works hard to meet the student's needs while maintaining academic standards. I highly recommend her!
Dr. J is an excellent teacher. She's extremely clear and helpful. If you read the assignments and do the discussions, you'll get an easy A.
Dr. Gillam made the class enjoyable. I was comfortable in the discussions, and had confidence when writing my essays. Although her expectations were high she remained open minded to comments and questions. I would definitely take another class with her.
She is so awesome. Very clear and understanding. There is a good amount of work and fun exercises. I saw a HUGE improvement in my writing within the first few weeks of taking her. I have also gained more knowledge about sentence structure and writing strategies. If you truly want to learn, take her. She wants you to succeed.
This teachers assignments are so bad. This class is 99% making stuff up and 1% actual learning. Her directions for assignments are pages long and out of order so you have to decipher them and even then you'll probably miss something anyway. She is not helpful or clear in any way. I am an A student and get A's in the class but am so frustrated.
This professor is not as organized as other etudes teachers. Her modules are all over the place and you have to jump from module to module just to find the assignment instructions. Her feedback isint too friendly ither. But the class itself was easy. Lots of reading and reading responses to do. ALL SEMESTER long even on spring break vacation!
Great online class/teacher! Had no interest in Ancient Literuratue before this class. Assigns reading and a journal post every week. Easy grader if you do the assignment, always got 100%. Only one formal paper and final. Very friendly teacher and passionate about her subject! Take it!
I took this class online and the class overall is easy but she does assign A LOT of work so if your looking for an English class with little work then this is defiantly not the class for you. She does grade easy if you follow all her directions. I would recommend this class only if you know your going to stay on top of the work.
I think that Professor Gillam is a great teacher. She lays out her expectations pretty well. Sometimes it gets a little confusing with all of the different fonts and colors but it's usually pretty self-explanatory. She gives amazing feedback and is perfect for the student that wants to become a better writer. I recommend taking her.
Very unorganized, the modules, are all over the place, have to look at several different spots to find instructions for assignments, due dates are inconsistent and I found three different due dates for one assignment,. Very confusing, I ended up dropping because I was so utterly lost and frustrated and confused.
DO NOT TAKE!!!!!! Her directions are very unclear and there's lots of work.
She's not a terrible teacher, she actually has really good ideas to improve the quality of her students' writing such as making them utilize the online tutor. However, the absolute worst part of this online class is that her instructions are all over the place and totally disorganized! It's even worse if you take a late start class. Beware.
She is absolutely the most disorganized teacher I know. You have to hunt down through various modules, open several tabs just to piece together an assignment and due date. I'm still in the process of taking this class and wish I had just dropped it before it was too late. Save yourself the trouble and find a different instructor, please.
The absolute worst teacher you ever would want for English. Completely disorganized and doesn't teach you how to actually do the essays. She just lets you watch youtube videos on the subject and expect you to execute just like that. Outside assignments out of your schedule and you have to buy a extra book on top of whats needed for the class.
Took her for ENG 1A, I see the perspective other students can have because she likes to lay out all of expectations and that can be overwhelming sometimes. I promise you this professor will greatly improve your writing skills, she gives great feedback and all the resources you need. If you put in the effort, and work with her you will succeed :)
Professor Gillam is an exemplary English professor. She provided clear feedback and many tips and tools for us to be successful. She tries her hardest to help everyone grow individually and I can say it works if you put in the effort. You will do fine if you participate and take her great advice.
This class was not easy for me but I am glad that it was a challengeing. I learned so much from Dr. Gillam, from the reading assignments, and from the writing. It helps to have a professor who is truly passionate about the subject she teaches because the help she gives you comes from a place of knowledge and sincerity. It's worth every challenge.
Professor Gillam is awesome. It is an English class so you have to read, and turn in weekly journals and 4 essay's for the semester. If you keep up with the readings, journals, and start your essay's timely you shouldn't have an issue in this class. She is very helpful, and gives great feedback promptly. Excellent online instructor!
I chose to enroll in this class because of the books chosen by the professor. The books focused on immigrants, slavery and a memoir of our choosing. Dr. Gillam is invested in her student's success and responds quickly to any questions. She clearly details the assignments, due dates & expectations. She makes the writing process accessible.
Dr.Gilliam was an amazing professor from what I've heard and from what i experienced last year. I have yet to see any reviews for this year, but if there is a time that she comes back to teach English 1B TAKE HERR. She does make you write a bit, and you definitely need a couple books for this class, but the good thing is that they're not Textbooks!
Although I passed with an A, the structure of her class was so disorganized, especially for an online class. Some of the essay prompts made no sense and I often felt I was reaching for the stars with most of them. Overall, I'm happy the class was over but I strongly advise avoiding this class if you don't want to be stuck with like twenty essays.
