Reviews of professor Virginia Silvis

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class is expected to be simple and straightforward but its not. There's a ton of hw due every Sunday online but the only good thing is that the exams are similar to the hw questions. There's also three in-class assignments that are participation grades; don't miss those. An A is possible but you'll have to work for it.

Good teacher, but you don't have to attend the lecture class to learn the material. Lots of online homework given every week (50-90 questions) and doesn't give you a lot of time to do it, but exams are exactly the homework questions. This class was really hard but I enjoyed the prof, she's wacky and funny and tried to make lectures fun sometimes

She can be annoying but she is a good teacher. If you go to class and pay attention you'll do well because she explains everything thoroughly. She also gives lots of extra credit.

If you dont pay attention or read you are screwed but if you do and ask her questions during class or office hours youll probably be okay. The class is extremely vocab heavy so get ready to study 200+ terms a test.

She ok. I think she knows what she's talking about in regards to the material but my biggest issue was how the study guides for the exams and the homework was released so late. Not to mention how long it took for the test grade to be returned.

She is very rude and doesn't seem to care if we pass or fail. Although most of us are failing, she gave another class a notecard to use on the test, but when we asked about it she said "they're not doing as good as you all are." The horror stories go on and on, don't take if you care about your GPA.

The amount of stuff we had to know was absolutely insane for an intro class (i.e. a 5 page, single-spaced study guide). Also treats her classes for the exact same course differently: one class got a cheat sheet and mine didn't. Gives random in-class assignments that are 10% of the grade (only gave 3 the whole semester). The W-O-R-S-T.

She's not the best professor. On average, homework can take up to 3 hours to complete. Class attendance counts. She doesnt teach, and its an overload of assignments. If you care about your gpa dont take her.

Professor Silvis is AMAZING!!! She lectures very well and she definitely knows her information. Make sure you have good attendance, because she does random in- class assignments. She designs the class, so you can pass. ALOT OF EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITES. Take advantage of her office hours. Make sure you study the MASTERING HOMEWORK.
