Comment:

I am horrendously terrible at math, but Professor Silvia is always there to help and will never make you feel stupid. Really appreciates hard work and attendance. Very understanding and his biggest goal is to help you pass, rather than humiliate. Tutors walk around the class room along with him as he personally helps every student, very devoted!

Professor Silvia is a fantastic professor he truly cares about his students. He is always sending time in the tutoring lab willing to help students some more. He is also grading tests pretty fast and has them up on xyz as soon as possible. I would take him again for my text math class if I could.

He is such a good math teacher. He explains things clearly and is open to any question. He will come up to you if he knows you are having a hard time. He is very interested in movies and art which is really cool. You can talk to him about anything! He has helped me a lot since I came in undecided on my major. One of my favorite professors!

He's so nice and passionate about what he teaches! I didn't tolerate math at all & I didn't remember much from high school. His class helped me so much, he is approachable if you have a question just raise your hand. Attendance is mandatory as there is groupwork/class work everyday. Honestly, one of the best professors ive had! (:

Professor Michael is a great professor. He is very genuine and caring but there is also your part as a student to do all the work given because Professor Michael is willing to help you at any time. I know math is hard, trust me I've been there, but Professor Michael tries to make it as easy as possible, and less overwhelming as possible!

This professor is the best! He is right about what he says,"if you don't show up to class, you will not pass" He is very helpful to every student that needs help and cares if you are doing badly in the class. He will give you the opportunity to take an exam if you could not make it on test day. I suggest you to always go to class!

Comment:

he gives awesome lectures, be sure to take a recorder because sometimes you can miss out on what he is saying. BEWARE HIS TESTS, he tries to make the question overly complicated to confuse you, which it honestly does, he should try to make them more straight forward, they just end up sounding too confusing to understand. DO NOT BUY BOOK

Professor Silvia is great! He makes Math 093 really easy and fun. He gives students so many opportunities to pass, so if you don't it's on you. I enjoyed this class and found it to be really easy. There are quizzes every week, but they are easy. I definitely recommend him. If he were to teach other math classes, I would take him no doubt.

Professor Silvia is an amazing math professor. Students who don't bother to show up to class always complain about grades and it is not the professor's fault. He's outstanding and a pretty chill professor. Made Math 093 a lot easier than I thought it would be.

PROS: Nice, there for you when you have any questions, class is pretty clear from day one, Professor makes you enjoy math (and this is coming from someone who hates it), really funny CONS: if you really have a tough time with math, his lessons can go a little fast from what I have seen, tests every week or so, quiz every week, lots of homework
