SHILO A
Class was easy as long as you read the material and reread the material or summaries of them before the midterms and final. My TA was very chill and I loved her and the professor overall was funny in his own way. Would def take again.
Wasn't bad as long as you did the assigned readings. Attendance required in lecture but 50% were dropped. 2nd test/final were changed to multiple choice from essays which I liked. Readings were long but he broke it down in lecture/section. He also gave back points after exams. I genuinely think he wanted everyone to pass and would recommend him.
The class was light when it came to hw and the lectures were interesting to listen to. My only complaint is that two of our exams were changed to multiple choice after thinking that all of them were going to be essays (my TA didn't even know our final was going to be multiple choice until like week 8/9). The class was easy if you do the readings.
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.
