A really caring and passionate professor. Supportive and dedicated to helping students grow, really funny at times too! Skilled at transitioning between seriously treating a text and making a light hearted comment (:

Professor Shilo was a very considerate and caring professor. The class itself was super challenging and the lectures were always very short. When I was doing poorly on quizzes, Shilo took extra time outside of class to schedule a zoom meeting with me to get me back on track. Overall, I'd take Shilo as a professor again, but NOT this class.

To be fair, I selected GREEK1 cuz I thought it was related to Greek culture so when I realized its actually ancient Greek I was kinda passive. However, Amit's passion for Greek is so strong that as time goes on I changed my mind. The tests were easy as long as you revise. Excellent feedback, loose grading on mid/finals letting u get good grades.

Put the effort and time into the class, and you will be rewarded. You'll definitely need the textbook and workbook, but he's always willing to review anything you might need, in or out of class. It's obvious he knows his stuff and is super lenient with grades. It's a lot of info crammed into class sessions though; skipping a class isn't a good idea

Very passionate about mythology, and gave fairly interesting lectures. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but lectures are helpful for papers/pop quizzes. Quite a bit of reading but none were difficult to understand. *Gave significant grading responsibilities to TAs without accounting for grading differences. Class performance is dependent on your TA.

Professor Shilo was very nice and reasonable. Lectures were a bit boring, but they were not mandatory. Friday lectures were asynchronous which was great. There was an option to either write a paper or take an exam for each midterm and final. Overall, a chill class and I learned a bit more about Greek Mythology, which was cool.
