Dr. Gildrie is definitely for those interested in history. Very enthusiastic about the topics, and more than willing to engage students. Couldn't have asked for a better prof for history.

Does not take attendance, 4 papers throughout semester, 2 tests with essay answers (this was honors course). Requires a lot of reading, but I barely ever read and pulled off a B in the class. Nice guy, a little weird.

Comment:
Dr. Gildrie is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Colonial America (his field). Go to class, listen for what he's looking for and keep up with the reading. His tests can be killers if you do not study or understand the main themes so give yourself time to read up! And be on time with your assignments! Great class and I learned alot.

This prof. is a goon. Assigns lots of reading but spreads the materials covered throughout the week. Breaks down lectures on the whiteboard. Will explain what you don't get, will also debate with you willingly. Tests are multiply choice with short essays. Take good notes, write decent papers and use the study guides and you'll pass easily.

Professor Gildrie was out of this world. I love history but he made it so much more fun to learn and the class was super easy as long as you pay attention and read. If you don't like to read i do not reccomend this class because there are 5 mandatory essays. overall on a 1-10 scale I give Gildrie a 10

Comment:
Mr.Gildrie is what you see. He wanted me to think the way he did on hypothetical entities, and on one imparticular issue I did not agree with him and I paid for it on an essay that I did. I still made a "C" in his class that semester. I am taking him again this semester.

Read the stuff, come prepared to "play" with ideas, and he'll repay you with one of the great intellectual experiences of your college years. World-class mind; street-level understanding.

This guy has a problem with his body odor, then he tries to cover it up with cigeratte smoke. Very hard to follow and rambles on about nothing. Do not take this guy if you have a choice.

he is very animated and interesting but not a good teacher. Test are super hard and rambles alot in lectures. Dates arent important. you just have to understand what happened and why. good for a history major not much of anyone else

He is one of my inspirations for going into teaching history. He will do anything he can to help you, not matter what it cost him. He has very high expectations of students, and they can be achieved as long as you try. I had him at 8 in the morning when I first started at APSU, so technically he was my first professor ever.

If you do not like history do NOT take his class! He just rambles on and on and it is hard to pay attention to him. Very boring and difficult tests.

He is awesome! Even though we stuck ALOT in the Revolutionary War (his main interest) he still brought up points I was not aware of. Got an A although others did not because they did not apply themselves.

This teacher is a goofball, what a hoot!!!! He is awesome. The catch -- follow the sylabus - no extensions, 5 essays on essays(1-5 pages), 3 internet reviews, the tests -- pay attention and take notes - you will not have a problem, play in class interact with him, he likes to freestyle.

He is a great professor! He has an odd sense of humor but he explains things nicely. The class isn't hard and you have to do a few essays but they are essay too. Probably the best professor I have had!
