Reviews of professor Shyla Saltzman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
AMAZING professor! she makes lectures entertaining and her style of teaching is so unique. I took her for eng 2000 and got an A ... and I am taking her again this semester! definitely would recommend her to any English majors. 3 hour class but she let us out early and is very understanding with senses for valid reasoning

Shes too unorganized. She never seemed well prepared for each lecture. She goes into a lot of digressions which get conversational. I'd had some comments relevant to the lecture but she was too busy with her rant. It's ok to be comfortable and stress free but in this case it felt like it was too social / casual and not an academic environment.

I took her for Analytical Writing about Literature and it was a lot of reading. We read poems, short stories and about 5-6 books. It was a 3 hour class so it was a book a week and we had 4 essays and one of them was the final. AMAZING class discussions, no quizes on it just essays about novels but she really is entertaining and broke downeachessay.

She goes off on rants about topics that don't relate. Get ready to fall asleep. From the first day, no one has paid attention in her class. The topics are irrelevant and there's no endgame. She doesn't give many papers. There are no tests in her class.

She is a super nice person, and you can relate a lot to her. Just don't get tricked into thinking she's an easy grader. She grades pretty harshly with no explanation. Almost never comes to class prepared, just "wing" it every time. Chances are she is going to change the syllabus multiple times over the course of the semester.

Professor Saltzman while laid back is a bit of a sporadic instructor, she is rarely on time, most commonly 30 minutes or so late. She doesn't really come prepared to any of her classes and lacks an engaging personality to get a discussion going in class. Most of the time the class sits in a silenced lull. She assigns work with at most weeks notice
