[For CLASS 102] Prof. Shilo gives detailed, engaging lectures, but course expectations seemed too high for what the syllabus offers. While attendance wasn't taken he enforced it somehow, and many assignments were given strange due dates or poorly graded with late feedback. Though he offered the option of a final paper instead of an in-person exam.

Insanely hard and took about 3x more studying than most 5 unit classes. Also, "Elementary Greek" is a misleading name as what you are learning is the Ancient Greek language. My top tips: make tons of note cards, form a study group, participate a lot, review what you've learned daily, and practice, practice, practice. Not for the faint of heart.

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
