Reviews of professor Colin Pilney

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Would definitely take his class again. Quizzes every week, but they are very straight forward and simple. Very interesting lectures and he is a really nice guy. Attendance is not mandatory and it is not difficult to earn an A if you work hard.

If you're interested the class it's easy. Everything you need to know is written on the board. If you are only taking the course for a liberal learning, lectures might seem a little dry and slow, but you can definitely get other work done in this class.

Probably one of the easiest classes you'll take. Show up and do the work and you'll get an A. He is super lenient.

this class was one of the easiest classes I have taken. attendance is not mandatory and I did not feel the need to get the textbook. There is an open note quiz every week, midterm, then final project but nothing that is too hard. Easy class to balance if you just need to fill the requirement

I love Pilney! He is quirky and will play the bagpipes for you. I already love Greek mythology and he made me love it even more. There's a weekly quiz (very straightforward) and a midterm, no final. Instead, there is a project that you can either do yourself or with a buddy. You don't need the textbook, his notes from the lectures are all you need.

Professor Pilney is very knowledgeable and evidently passionate about course content. You need notes from lectures to take the quizzes and tests. You don't need the textbook but if you want it, get the previous edition. It's basically the same and he encourages it because its much cheaper.
