CLASS40 . Shilo A 6 Months Ago

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.

CLASS40 . Shilo A 10 Months Ago

I found that Professor Shilo rambled incessantly during lectures, but ran a fairly easy class. The TAs, on the other, hand were on a power trip and added much more work than necessary. Prof. Shilo lets them take too much control, and there are discrepancies between the TAs workloads. Overall would not recommend this class, or at least not my TA.

Lectures were entirely online. No homework besides the weekly reading. TA is important for this class, adds more assignments and quizzes to course. Sections were in person and attendance was important.

Mediocre teaching style. knows what he's talking about. but he can't state a fact without throwing several "content warnings" and "trigger disclaimers" at your face. But I guess we can't blame him because this is how higher education works now.

He knows what hes talking about regarding ancient mythology. But hes intent on teaching us his own, specific understanding of the texts. This discourages our own exploration of the textual meaning. Worse, hes too afraid to say something that may trigger someone, even if its the truth. Frankly, its embarrassing.
