Reviews of professor Virginia Silvis

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Worst decision of my life was not dropping this class. Lectures are long and boring and do relate at all to the 80 question HW assignments or exams. This geography course also deals with math which is something no other geo professor puts in their GEOGRAPHY course except for her. She makes exam last min to add things if the students makes her mad.

LOL idk why everyone hated her, you just had to work for the grade you wanted. The material is a little heavy and there is a lot of HW but you can tell that she's passionate about what she's doing. The HW was basically the tests so if you study the HW you'll be fine. Also if you miss class, she'll just fill you in on what you missed.

Was able to turn a class about weather systems into something actually really interesting. Is very interactive and strives to make the class as enjoyable as possible. Make sure to take good notes and listen during lectures. The tests can be difficult sometimes, but take good notes and study the material and you'll be fine

Take any geography professor except for her. My class was so angry with how terrible she had treated us that we put together a petition to have her removed. I went to her office hours the week of finals and she was 3 hours late and didn't inform anyone that she would be gone. I received an F in this class even though I worked incredibly hard.

While she lectures extremely well and she knows her stuff it almost felt like she was setting us for failure. Wouldn't allow us to see the PPT before class yet took days and even a week one time to share the PPT's with us. Assigns very hefty homework assignments and always before an exam. Slightly rude at times.

This was the worst professor Ive had at Georgia State Univeristy. She was very unfair and unreasonable. The homeworks were not hard but you lost points everytime you get something wrong. You might as well skip her class, cause her lectures were boring and she would try to make jokes shes not funny. She doesn't care about her students. DO NOT TAKE

Do not be psyched out by the reviews, she is actually a great professor. She clearly knows her material and is just trying to educate students about our climate (which we should all be educated on). The HW is heavy but try doing them with a friend. Focus your studying on the HW for tests. This is one of the better classes I've taken at GSU.
