Awesome
Professor Gammill is really amazing. After graduation one of his priorities is preparing the students to apply their knowledge. He is understanding and really cares about his students. He is making sure that test and quizzes are fair. A group project involved but it is pretty easy and i actually learned a lot. He is willing to help when students ask questions.

Awesome
Doctor Gammill was the best. I had him during the pandemic. He eliminated assignments and increased everyone's grades. He's very understanding about all the situations, as long as you communicate with him. I highly recommend this class.

Awful
Professor Gammill was the worst that I've ever had when it talks about education. He's very hilarious and has a lot of great stories. However, his teaching style is unsatisfactory. There are few assignments and each of them is graded toughly. Honestly, he doesn't explain how to do anything, you're just left to yourself.

Landmark Essays on Archival Research (Landmark Essays Series)
Routledge Publishing
This collection gathers over twenty years of essays addressing archival research methodologies and methods. The selection of essays found within, presented chronologically, bring forward the theories and practices that define this essential form of scholarly inquiry. They allow readers to get a sense of how scholars have articulated archival research over the last twenty years, giving them insight into the shifts research methods have undergone given emerging technologies, changing notions of access, emerging concerns about issues of positionality and representation, fluid definitions of what constitutes an archive, and the place of archival research in hybrid research methods. The last twenty years witnessed a wealth of scholarship both employing archival research methodologies and addressing issues associated with this method. The recent recognition and remapping of rhetorical terrain is dependent upon revisiting primary and canonical materials with a new set of research questions in mind, understanding and mining a broader range of archives than heretofore considered, and making use of new technologies to expand the scope and possibilities inherent in the study of rhetoric and composition. Primary, archival investigation leads to novel insights and publications, and has a place in most of the research being conducted by compositions and rhetoric scholars. This volume will chart the recent historical trends of archival methodologies and suggest future directions for research.
