Reviews of professor William Silverman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Silverman is honestly a really good prof. You have to put in the work, and show him you really want the grade. Just like any english class, there's a good amount of papers but he is super responsive and gives good feedback. He responds to my emails so fast, and I've started to enjoy writing because of this class and his prompts.

Took a winter class with him, so the format is different than a full semester. He was laid back about starting on time, no big deal if you were a few minutes late. A little goofy, in a good way. Offered a few ways to earn extra credit, and accepted late assignments. If you showed up and did the work, gradings were generous. Would recommend 10/10.

Do not take this professor. I have never been more confused about the expectations of a course in my entire life. I already have a bachelor's degree and have been teaching for 5 years. This man has no idea how to organize a class and is 0% helpful when you are confused. Avoid at all costs.

If you're good at writing, it's still extremely difficult to get an A on a paper. Looking for assignments and due dates on Blackboard was like a wild goose chase, and then he got mad at us about it 2 weeks in. He isn't very organized. You have to work really hard to get a good grade. A lot of busy work in this class. A LOT OF READING.

Best professor Ive ever had. While you have to put in the work to do well, the work isnt all that hard and you have to put in work in any college class. There were a few 500 word essays here and there and maybe one 1000-1250 word one. Daily quizzes but they are very easy to do well on. Fantastic teacher overall.

Really nice and hilarious. Took this professor twice and enjoyed the class each time. Easy A but very compelling and enjoyable classes. Definitely would recommend.

Prof. Silverman is an amazing professor. He is not easy, but he is fair, and you learn a lot. I never thought I would enjoy reading poetry and just took this class because I needed an English elective. But I really loved reading and learning about classics like The Inferno and The Iliad. Prof Silverman makes them interesting and relevant.
