Comment:

Gilmour is one of the coolest professors I've ever had. The class is text heavy but the books are easy to read. He never gives quizzes, only reading tests. There two "major" projects but they're so interesting that they're easy and are very open for interpretation. His lectures are so interesting, his excitement for the material makes you excited.

Comment:

Dr. Gilmour is by far the best professor I had this semester. He is a great person and an even better professor. In order to pass the class with an A, you just have to look at the reviews for each exam. I would definitely take Dr. Gilmour for a future class.

I took Prof. Gilmour for my Philosophy of Religion class and my intro. to Philosophy class. He is an amazing teacher, really cares about what he's teaching and loves to hear the feedback from the students and likes to interact during class, really likes to know what the students are thinking. I would recommend Gilmour for your philosophy teacher.

I took Gilmour for Introduction to Philosophy and this is my first philosophy class. He is great. He has a passion for his job and finds ways to help students understand the material. We have writing quizes which consist of easy one page responses to show you read material, a few multipe choice tests and a two page essay. Easy and interesting class

Really nice professor who's pretty laid back and usually hands out pretty easy tests. They're easy as long as you've read the book, so make sure you read your stuff!

He's a really cool guy. He'll give you a good laugh from time to time. His reviews were useful. For his essays, try to explain whatever he wants deeply. You'll get a good grade that way. His quizzes are pretty easy. He had an optional quiz for extra credit before our final exam. I'll gladly take his class again

I had Dr. Gilmour for my Critical Discourse, English Composition in my freshman year at Incarnate Word. Dr. Gilmour is a really caring, charismatic teacher who goes out of his way to help his students. You just can't find this level of caring for other students at other schools.

One of my favorite teacher's at this campus. He is so chill and laid back. He knows and loves his profession and is a great teacher. You will use some books for this class but he really makes Philosophy interesting. Talk to him if you have any problems he is very understanding. Loved his class! He is very organized, helpful, and upbeat

He's really cool. Doesn't even have tests really, they're "quizzes". Pretty much give you the questions and answers on his reviews. Have like 3 quizes and a paper and those are all your grades. Get Dr. G.

Dr. Gilmour is a brilliant man and an excellent professor. He is always willing to make time for you and help you in any way he can (academic or otherwise). I consider myself quite priviledged to have the joy of working with such a fine example of humanity.

Great professor! His class was pretty easy. As long as you read and attend classes, you'll pass with flying colors! Instead of just straight lectures, he comes into class and just talks to you. And you are always free to comment on what he says. Most of the material is pretty interesting too. I would definitely recommend taking classes from him!
