Reviews of professor William Silverman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Good professor he answers emails in a timely matter and will help you. Theres a lot of reading required to do the assignments. TBH I used sparknotes for most of the readings and got an A. He gives good feedback on assignments and is a pretty fair grader. Just do your work and you should pass. Seems to be a fair grader. Check blackboard daily!!!!

Took in the Spring of COVID-19. The literature, if pre-chosen, is not his fault, but obscure, not classics. In Iliad/Odyssey, he reads into the emotional significance of passages too often. When we transitioned, there was no order or coherent structure. Might as well just CliffNote it. Many did. Nice guy, but should've been a philosopher instead.

Had him during the virus, and I failed because I didn't complete a big chunk of the work. He was kind enough to give me an extension. He's a very fair and understanding professor and his assignments are fun to write, take him!

Took him for Eng101 and he was really helpful and let me make up work after I got sick.

This class had essays all over the place and he wanted to make sure that everything was clear. His grading system is a little bad. Each time I would get to class and he would start with a quiz which I think should be about what you learned not a reading for each class. Would not take this professor again.

I took this class online in summer. I never met Professor Silverman in person but hes very responsive with emails and very helpful. If you show that youre trying youll pass. Read the articles/texts he posts! Most papers are related to those! Its an English class so its essentially just papers. No final test but you will have a paper ,if online

Pretty great professor overall! He was always very chill and understanding. If anything Brightspace was a little confusing at first but I got the hang of it. Very fun class with some interesting topics and some great movies. Four essays and no final but he does have you do a group presentation instead for a final grade. Great guy. Would take again!

Honestly a great professor. You can tell he really just wants to see his students become better writers. Weekly writing assignments, but very doable. Highly recommend for English 101.

I took prof. Silverman for Eng 102 and loved it. Yes, you have to work hard, but this is college. And he's not THAT hard. Take him; you'll become a better writer.

Movies in this class are actually interesting and group projects are normal. The prof. himself is a great dude; he makes some good jokes in class and is very understanding with work and his assignments are actually pretty easy. If you don't get an A in his class you just simply don't do work on time (me)as its pretty easy and decently interesting.
