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.

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.

prof shilo is very passionate about mythology, making his lectures super interesting and engaging. however, i felt like some of the questions on his quizzes were very specific, especially since they were close note.

Too many lectures and questions about lectures on quizzes and tests. Was less about the Myths and more about his lectures.

Very enthusiastic. The professor and TA's do not want to make it difficult on the students and want you to have fun with the course and learn something. Not too demanding.

Wow, was blown away by how much I actually learned in the class. Really enjoyed the professor's lectures, never felt like I was watching a 30-minute lecture, went by so fast. While the class does depend on you doing most of the readings and watching the lectures, it was worth my while. Very much enjoyed the sections with my TA as well!

Took this class Spring 18. iClickers are needed for class. He summarizes the stories in class, but you need to read them for Gauchospace quizzes. Essays are graded leniently, and there is also a required group essay. Could be interesting if you like Greek myth, but it's pretty bland.

Few papers. Lectures are recap of the readings w/ i-clickers in between. Took this class Spring 2019. Had an A in the class but was given a B- as my final grade. Messaged him about it and he replied, but he never fixed it.

Bad. Just bad.

This class has a reputation for being an interesting and relatively straightforward g.e. but under Shilo is an absolute pain. It's not that hard but it is incredibly tedious with a lot of work. The lectures are just him summarizing and honestly a waste of time. Shilo himself seems like someone who likes hearing himself talk. Don't waste your time.

Honestly gets a really bad rep but when it comes down to it, he is very understanding even when he doesnt need to be.

Shiloh is honestly an under appreciated professor. His lectures are very engaging and super interesting. He also has a great personality but with a class of 800 people there are too many people that straight up disrespected him. The way he teaches Classics 40 is different from other professors, its more work but no tests, work smarter not harder.

He's a try hard. He makes lecture mandatory but fills it with useless information and clearly thinks he has something important to contribute because he makes sure you stay all lecture with irrelevant clicker questions. He's hard to respect and didn't even take part in the professor evaluations because he can't handle criticism like a good prof.

He makes corny attempts at jokes that would make some people laugh, but personally, I only took the class for an easy A. Go to lecture, he spends his entire time reading the slides quoting books you'll have to read. You might not even have to read if you're playing it right. He asks for a lot of respect when clearly this is a general ed class...

Shilo's lectures are incredibly pretentious and unfocused. They're mostly book summaries and vaguely related topics sprinkled with the past trips to Greece he's been on. The lectures are mandatory and basically waste your time while making you hate the topic. It's clear that he thinks his talks are gospel and the entire course reflects that.

He's an average professor with mediocre lectures. Lectures are essentially dramatic summaries of the book reading. You have to access like 5 copies of separate books for the online quizzes and responses as well as the essays which have little to no guidelines or rubric. There are better professors and classes to not waste your time with busy work.

Lots of quizzes, so you have to do the readings, and attendance is mandatory. The class material isn't hard but passing the class is tedious

The class itself is a breeze. Got caught with two iclickers ONCE though and he made us write a 10 page final paper, rather than the 5 page final as punishment. Our quizzes and attendance were replaced with whatever we got on the final. Shilo claims to care about his students, but I genuinely beg to differ. He's a pretentious jerk.

Hated going to lecture for iclicker points because reading and lecture notes are almost pointless. We don't apply any of the readings in a way that is meaningful and all you need to do is skim the material for the written responses, 2 papers, and some easy quizzes. In the largest lecture hall, barely anyone had respect for Shilo and his teaching.

The lectures are pointless and many only go for clicker credit (4 clickers throughout the entire class period). Prof Shilo's lectures just goes over the same reading that is due. There is a quiz on the reading due before every class. TA's are super tough graders, not worth taking because of this reason.
