The class is very, very textbook heavy, and all of the quizzes are often direct quotes from the book. The quizzes and tests make up the entire grade for most of the quarter until the end when he will add extra formative grades. Take very good lecture notes, and make sure you understand those concepts before tests.

I had Gilmore for AP Econ and AP Gov and he has always been one of my favorite teachers. He always makes the class entertaining and knows how to keep people engaged.

He likes to lecture a lot, so it is important that you come to class ready to take notes and pay attention. He is incredibly kind and funny and likes to make jokes throughout class. The best thing to do is to go with it, and there is a 100% chance he will like you. The class is interesting, and you can tell he enjoys the content.
