Reviews of professor Virginia Silvis

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I highly recommend choosing a different professor. I make no exaggerations when I say that Silvis was at a MINIMUM fifteen minutes late for 90% of the academic semester with NO notice or apology or even an excuse! DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK. You can google the answers to the HW. The HW is also the test so don't bother with the study guide!

Homework consists of about 70 to 80 questions on MasteringGeography. You have to buy the book (online or not) to do the HW. The tests use a lot of the homework questions so STUDY THE HW QUESTIONS. It saved my life.

Great class! I didn't do good on the first test because I didn't study the right way. Tip: Focus your studying on the homeworks and you should be fine. Don't focus on the study guide. She has a quirky way of lecturing but I don't mind it. You have room to make up for it if you bomb a test. Don't be afraid, this class is doable.

She's amazing. She gives random in-class assignments and homework every other Monday. She makes the lecture interesting; I'm taking her again next semester for 1113k. Lots of extra credit opportunities!
