Super easy class, nice instructor. Lots of busy work but he just looks at it and gives it a quick grade so just attempt it and you'll be good. Tests are pretty easy, a lot of them are group tests. Class isn't the most interesting but if you do his work you'll get an A.

Mr. Silva was a awesome instructor. He always motivated me to do well in class. along with his sense of humor, Mr. Silva had great lectures and the exams always came from the book.

Awesome instructor, great lectures, but the students in the class would almost never show up. Only about 14 of us would always so show up. He made me feel comfortable in class and he understood why I would be late sometimes. He never freaked out on anyone for being late like some of my nazi instructors.

He made my first year awesome! He is very inspirational and also very funny. I highly recommend you take him. He will help you in any way he can in any situation. I want to thank him for all that he has done.

Gives two major group powerpoints at the end of the semester which would not be a problem if members were graded individualy, however, only one grade is given. Make sure you pick reliable members you can count on as you will be working with them for both projects.

Mr. Silva has been my favorite teacher so far! He is a amazing teacher i highly recommend!! He is so funny!!!

His lectures are interesting and simple and he has a good sense of humor which makes the lectures enjoyable. He's extremely flexible with work. All you need to do is do his work and listen to lectures, it's a simple A+.

I APPRECIATE MR SILVAS STYLE OF TEACHING, HE CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS. MAKES AND EFFORT TO CONNECT WITH EACH ONE.

Makes it so fun and interesting. Sylvia likes his students and communicates very well. By Far the funniest professor Ive ever had. I TOOK THE TIME TO LET YALL KNOW ITS 110% WORTH IT.

Professor Silva is everything a college professor SHOULD be . Inspirational, knowledgeable and caring . He is more than just a professor, he is a wise and experienced man who teaches and talks to his students like real people. Epccs finest .

Great professor, he understands the struggles of being a college student. His homework is fairly easy, and give enough time to complete the assignments. Class is fun, which makes it easier to enjoy and learn the course. I recommend the professor for this course.

His class is very dynamic. Students will participate and give opinions almost every day. Weekly homework based on the book. Final is a group project.

Professor Silva is your best option. His classes are simple, but you have to put all your attention and focus. He really makes you learn things and not memorize them. Silva is very funny and will always give you easy examples so that you can learn better. always makes you participate, and this is something that has helped me and my classmates.

Best teacher ever. Would definitely take his class again, Amazing lectures and he gives you very good feedback

Such a great teacher. Always gives good feedback and also so positive. He motivates you in so many ways such as the comments after grading your homework. I would definitely take his class again.

Professor Silva was a great Professor and very supportive. I liked that on the wirting assignments he would provide you positive comments and feedback. It was an easy class. I recommend this class, i would defitely take this calss again.

Make sure you show up and do your work. Submit everything on time and youll get a 4.0. Review well for the exams.

Hes a really great professor. I took his online class and it was super easy. There is a 2 page essay, quiz and homework every week but Is time consuming. His class is not hard you just need to take the time to complete all the assignments.

If you are shy and or quiet you are gonna have to talk in this class, but he won't be pushy about it. Easiest class I've ever had. One of my favorite classes too. Hardest part was to speak my mind without stuttering and messing up. In the end I would take this class again. Unfortunately it won't be the same.

Weekly 2 page papers, homework and quizzes were super easy. Gives good feedback sometimes. A caring professor who will fix problems when they arise. This class is an EASY A, but a bit tedious. Online homework would sometimes mess up, but a simple email, which he responded quickly to, fixed the problem. I'd take his class again.

He does not respond to emails about my questions with homework.

Mr. Silva is an excellent teacher and you will not regret taking his course! 10/10 would take again.

BEST TEACHER EVER !!!!!

He is an amazing professor, his class is very easy. Mr. Silva is a really cool teacher.

BEST TEACHER EVEEEER, his class is very easy and he is super accesible outside class, I enjoyed to take EDUC 1300 with him.

This teacher is a good one, in this class, you are going to have a lot of activities but these ones are easy. All you need to do is to return everything on time. If you are sick or you need to do something, he is very empathic with us. Also, he gives you like 3 homework for extra points.

The best professor by far , You need to get the text book or you simply fail since you need it to access the homework off it . A lot of homework but super easy !! I repeat super easy !!! Extends due dates with out lost of points. Many 3 page essays but super easy. Every assignment it open the moment you buy the book so take advantage of that !

Professor Silva is an awesome professor! He is very helpful throughout the year, answers any questions you may have. He is also very understanding if you have fallen behind on an assignment and help you out the best he can! I 100% recommend him.

one of the best teachers I've had. took him my very first semester and has left a big impact on my college experience. very caring and a good guy to talk to, makes everyone laugh and a very relatable guy. book wasn't mandatory, easy assignments, and cares a lot about his students. Finally in my final semester and he still makes an impact.

I took Mr. Silvas class online and he was an amazing professor! His class is well organized and offers a lot of assistance with assignments. He always emailed me back to within a day. I would definitely recommend taking his class!

Buying the textbook is a must because the bulk of your work will come from it. You can tell that Professor Silva cares about his students by how thoughtful his writing assignment prompts are. You write every week but you will notice what he asks you to write directly has to do with analyzing yourself on how you can best reach your future goals!

Professor Silva is amazing! Super easy class! He is very caring and provides extra credit. There was trouble with blackboard and he extended the due date. Keep open communication with him and he will understand. Best Professor so far!

The absolute best professor . So caring and kind . You will actually use what you learn in his class and apply it outside of the classroom . He is what all professors should yearn to be . Epccs finest .

Professor Silva is one of the best professors I have ever had. He makes everything easy to understand and he is always available outside of the classroom. He is also one of those teachers that you know really cares about you and he is not just there for the money. If you need an education class take him because he is just amazing!

Mr. Silva is an awesome teacher, he makes great real world connections to his lectures and the text. He gives plenty of extra credit options and if you attend class and do your work there's no way you're going to fail his class.

Professor Silva is one of those persons that come into your life and makes a difference. I thought this was going to be a boring class, but by the end of it I was really invested in it. Professor Silva made me think about my future, and I love how he asks what we thought relating to the subject matter. Take his class, you will not regret it.

Then he is not just a great professor he is a great person that he always have time to listen to his students.

Simply one of EPCC's finest.

He is an excellent professor making the class understandable and fun at the same time.

I would definitely take Mr. Silva again. Great professor. learn a lot in his class.

Mr. Silva was always so fun! He actually cares about you learning and he always had a good attitude. His work is easy. The assignments and quizzes take a little more effort, but they are still easy, and he follows the syllabus.

His class is very entertaining and interesting, you get to learn about yourself and other important things. For participation he asks simple questions like "how many times you eat a day" or things like that. I love him as a teacher and as a person

Mr. Silva is an amazing professor. Do not waste the opportunity to learn from him. He is your best choice!!

This professor was the first teacher i took back in Fall of 2018 and he is an awesome teacher. a completely humbled man who cares about his students and loves his job. he teaches you life lessons that you need for your career. he is a wise man and any class he teaches you should take it he is a brilliant professor and a good person.

Something that you should know about the professor and the way he teaches is that. He loves to talk, he like to listen to other peoples views. Is a class where you get the chance to participate.

Attendance is mandatory, but it is overall a fun class, get ready to interact and share with the class.

he's cool, you gotta come out of your shell a bit if youre shy because class discussions happen all the time but those discussions happen organically, you don't have to do too much public speech if you don't want to. it's interesting and his lectures keep your attention, and this is coming from someone with adhd. also totally lgbt friendly :P

Very good profesor, engages with students and always loves to see other classmates perspectives. Gives great advise. And great lectures

I live this class it was awesome and the professor is a great an inspiration teacher and he is just awesome no words can explain how I love this class. 100 recommendations to take it with him.

He is so nice and so funny. He will help you with whatever you need and he is very understandful. He jokes a lot and makes the class go really fast. He has some projects and some homework but they are really easy to do.

My online course consisted of weekly homework based on a textbook, a quiz, and a discussion board due at the end of the week. There are unlimited tries at homework assignments and quizzes to get the total points. The most time-consuming assignment was the final career PowerPoint which had a minimum of 16 slides. I would recommend his class!

easy class very easy to understand weekly work

I took Mr. Silva's class online, and it was super easy. Each week, we had a discussion question and a homework assignment. We had three tests, and they were easy. You could take the test multiple times. What I like about Mr. Silva is that he answers emails right away, and I am surprised by how accessible he is. I would retake his class!

Professor Silva is very understanding and knows life sometimes comes up, therefore he provides opportunities including going ahead on future week assignments and extra credit and if you need a little more help he is open to communicating with you.

The professor's ability to convey the material clearly is very good in my opinion and same goes for teaching style. The only way to fail his classes is because you don't put attention to his lectures or you simply don't turn in the work that was asked to do. In my opinion he is a professional professor and very honest individual to have.

This class was great, and very easy if you dont leave anything last min. Professor is very genuine and very easy to communicate with. I would 100% recommend his class!! Loved this class

I really liked the lectures. The assignments were fairly easy, and he always provided time to finish each assignment. He is very approachable and understanding and I would for sure recommend this class. There is a lot of participation but it's not that bad. Also had a group project and presentation at the end of the course.

Professor Silva's EDU1300 class was a breeze. The weekly assignments and unlimited quiz attempts made it easy to succeed. Unstuckstudy was a great study aid alongside the provided textbook. Silva is super accessible and always happy to help. Definitely take this class!

Professor Silva is awesome, he is very understanding and is always available when needed.
