Grading policies were constantly changing. So strict about the Poll Ev responses during class. Once he switched our exams to multiple choice, the questions were worded in such a confusing way/barely had anything to do with readings. My TA said many students did bad on the multiple choice. Shilo didn't show the TA's the exam before giving it to us.

A lot of reading: I, an international student, need to read for 10~15 hours a week. Native speakers should read significantly faster than I am, but still a lot. But if you do the reading it's easy to A (a LOT bonus point). Great lectures, really passionate about his specialization. Don't know why other people rate him so low.

We were supposed to have two midterms and a final that were all essays, but then at week five he switched it so the second midterm and final were multiple choice. The first essay midterm was easy but the multiple choice questions (esp on the final) had nothing to do with the readings and lecture notes.

hes a good lecturer but gives his TAs too much power imo. the class itslef is pretty easy as long as you read the assigned readings which is not a lot at all. the TAs have popquizes and essays though, depending on which one you get.

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.
