Reviews of professor Rene Silva

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
get ready to read a lot. he gives 40-50 pages per week to read and a quiz at the beginning of the week. 3 essays and a final, he is understanding and will extend the deadlines for you. He gives extra credit if you go to tutorings for each essay, curves the quiz grades at the end.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Silva is very thorough with his lectures and his instructions with assignments. The class is mainly based on reading and attending lectures although attendance isnt mandatory. The reading is heavy if youre not up for it do not take his class. Very funny and passionate about history. Highly recommend excellent professor.

Such a funny and engaging proffesor! If you are a history major you should definitely take him. Just like every other history class there is heavy reading but if you manage your time it is very doable! Hes very sweet and makes sure the class fits everyones needs and learning goals for the course.
