Reviews of professor Lisa Gilman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
No option for class I took: ENGH 591 (Grad Level Folklore) This is the second time I've taken a class with Dr. G, first was ENGH 315. She's easy to reach outside of class and understanding when you need extra time or help. Very passionate about what she teaches. Really nice and makes for an engaging environment. She's honestly the best.

One of my favorite classes! Intellectually stimulating and so interesting! Lots of discussion about cultural topics like food, dancing, and so much more. It is an easy A if you show up to class, do the readings, and put effort into the semester paper! She takes attendance by doing pop quizzes about the readings she assigns.

A very nice and respectful professor. Lots of papers, exams, and projects which could be considered both good (lots of grade opportunities) and bad (lots of assignments to keep track of). Seems overwhelming at first but if you plan ahead, you will be fine. Class is not super difficult, grading is fair, and readings are easy.

Prof. Gilman guided us with our Calvert County projects. We did a lot of preparation beforehand. Then, we interviewed residents of Calvert County, which is an agricultural county mostly, using Their Story, an online interviewing platform. We peer reviewed one another's projects, while doing practice interviews as well.

Amazing class! I never thought I would enjoy a literature class as much as I did. She gives a paper that is written throughout the semester. It is easy if you keep up with her deadlines and show up to class. There are a lot of pre-readings before class, but she keeps the class entertaining with all kinds of different activities.

Prof Gilman is SO sweet and she actually cares about her students. In the first week of class, she encourages students to write about any kind of stressors or mental health issues (anxiety, ADHD, etc) so that she can better teach you. class consisted of 4 total papers which weren't that hard, and then 4 quizzes. the only con is there's readings
