First of all, I received a B+ so I am not a disgruntled student who made a bad grade. Bottom line, I learned absolutely nothing. The 2 books we read for the class were interesting, but had no relevance to the class. I didn't learn anything new about writing and he did not explain he required papers well enough.

The reading and viewing topics were tough to digest, which at some point in my life I'm sure that I will realize that I'm better for having had to face them. As far as the rest goes, it was a standard online class. I believe that I got what I paid for and am in no way dissatisfied. You earn according to your effort; what's not fair about that?

All of our classes with this teacher were interesting. He loves to have the class engage in discussions of what we just read. He's open to hear everyone's different opinions. He doesn't judge them even if he doesn't agree with it. We read a lot of his own works and a lot of works pertaining to Jacksonville. He grades hard.

I liked Gilmore he is laid back, love his books and play "Stalking Ottis toole" I found it interesting. His handwriting is like a 2nd grader but ask him what he meant he'll tell you.

Did motivate us to vote and understand current social issues though. Meh :/

He posts the assignments each week which consisted of reading one book (50-150pgs), answering 2-3 ques for discussions in 1-2 healthy paragraphs EVERY week & grammar exercises. The final exam is a research paper. Difficult but as long as you work hard is easy; is responsive over emails!

He vaguely grades things. You can tell that when he gives you an assignment with a hint of politics, that he is very one sided on the manner. When he grades, he does not provide a real rubric and expects you to know how he wants the format. Gives everyone the same critique so you don't actually know what particular things he was docking points on.

Took more than 6 weeks to grade assignments. Expects sympathy for this, but doesn't extend the same flexibility to students. Took points off for turning in an assignment 1 day late. Waited until the last 3 days of the semester to grade three heavily-grade-influencing assignments, which tells me he either rushed or just grades harshly; no feedback.
