Reviews of professor Silas Cha

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He hardly ever held class, even though we were scheduled to meet every day. He rarely communicated what was coming up, and when he did, things didn't happen when he said that they would. Assignments were not clear. He only responded to about half of my emails. I mostly learned through the textbook. I am very disappointed.

If you are taking this class for your major, I would choose someone else (at least for online classes). However, if you are taking just for credits and need to pass the class, he is a good choice. Laid back, not super tech savvy, easy class though tests are often not related to what was covered.

Although Cha is a sweet man, he's very unorganized & lectures heavy. If you are an organized student like myself who uses an agenda planner, this is not the professor for you. He says he'll post the assignment but won't do it until 2 weeks later. He is very lecture heavy and talks to himself the whole time. He did not prepare us for the final @ all

He is a nice professor however, I felt like he did not prepare us enough for quizzes and tests. Assignments were rarely posted when they were supposed to and I never got a response to an email I had sent him regarding a quiz. His zooms are lecture heavy. I have not struggled with a class before this one and I am graduating after this semester.

He was nice enough, but did not follow through on posting assignments when he said he would. He rarely had class so we often just learned from a textbook and I sometimes did not feel prepared for tests. He did not always reply to all the questions I emailed. This made class stressful and frustrating. Maybe the Covid season made class hard for him.

Grades mostly on effort. Not a lot of assignments. Always helpful if you have any questions. Some zoom meetings are recorded which is great for reviewing. Most assignments were to respond to questions based on reading or watching videos.

He is relatively easy to take and a good lecturer. BUT the one thing that is a big downfall being in his class is that he doesnt give multiple choice quizzes which was annoying considering the fact that his study guides had barely any correlation with his quizzes. Maybe I couldve read more on my part. But the study guides werent the best.

As a person, I think he's a nice guy, but as a professor, he didn't show up to class most of the time and inconsistently sent out assignments out of nowhere which got me stressed on trying to get a better grade. His lectures are good and he teaches the function of government briefly, but not as in-depth.
