She's very rude and completely crazy. If you want a sensible professor don't take her. I witnessed her make freshmen cry.

Comment:

Patricia is a helpful and nice professor.She encourages you to work hard and is lenient to the deadline of papers-but it would be better if you submit the paper on time. She really wants to help you improve your grade. If you seriously want to improve your writing score, you should pick her class.

She thinks is a great teacher, but she is not. She is a little bit mad, she explains quite bad and his lectures are so boring.

Comment:

She's very nice, but definitely a hard grader. She did help me develop my essay A LOT. I did work hard a lot, but GPA is only in average. She tries so hard to help us both inside and outside the class. She talks WAY a lot, but her clarification many times is just not on the point. Choose her class if you really really want to improve your writing.

She is a great professor! It's true that she speaks a lot, but she is just worried that students don't understand the instructions. She is a hard grader,and it is very hard to get an A in her class. But her commends are pretty helpful. I would recommend taking her class.

Comment:

She really does talk A LOT, however, for the most time, she has no idea what she's saying...because every time when a student asks for clarification, she always have different answers...HARD grader, true about that..Although she might look nice and everything, but not recommend.

Comment:

Hard grader, and student can't even be late in class for 2 min. She's asking your paper to write on her way. But she is not so strict with paper due day. Overall, if you want to get an A, find another prof.

Comment:

She is really experienced to teach Esl course. She is a tough grader. If you want to learn, no writing course will be easy.My writing is really bad. But now my writing skill is improved a lot. You will appreciate her after you learn. It is more valuable than a simple good grade. You will benefit entire life.

She's very nice and helpful. If you work hard, you can improve a lot in her class. Her section is the best choice for WR098.

Hard class. She speaks... A LOT. She keeps speaking really loud, again and again... Tiring! Hard grader too. Lot of homework: read the books because an in-class writing is waiting for you during every class. However, she is here if you need to talk about your paper or something you did not understand. But definitely a hard teacher.

Comment:

The good thing about her is that she is leanient with paper due dates. Here are the bad things, Silvestro does not usually teach however, when she actually teaches, she has trouble explaining herself. She wants you to write in only " her way" of writing, however, never has office hours because she lives far away. I hope she stop teaching.

Comment:

If you want an A, do not take her class: nobody gets an A. She's unclear, the material is boring, and she's incredibly anal, particularly about being on time. She's a nice person but she really shouldn't be teaching. She felt like a high school english teacher who gets really confused while teaching. Try to find another wr100 prof!
