Wonderful teacher. Very animated voice. He keeps everything interesting and fun.Would take more classes from him!
Very cool. Very nice. Very smart and Very cute!
He's a great teacher. His voice takes some getting used to (because he sounds like the Moviefone guy). He doesn't test on anything that he hasn't gone over in class. He makes sure you understand everything and always asks to make sure everyone knows what is going on. If you come to class and pay attention - easy A.
so far learned alot in to days well see what happends but also kept me intrested
Too monotone, couldn't grasp what was being said. I dropped and retook with Mrs. Ramos...awesome teacher

I think he is the best Psych teacher you can have at CGCC
Excellent Teacher. Have had him for 3 semesters now, and is the last class I can take with him, and defiently bummed about it! Very Interesting and knows his material. He is a excellent Psychology Statistics teacher, dont take anyone else but him for this class. Just Wonderful all around! TAKE HIM!!!!! :)
Made a very hard subject quite fun. Nice professor and very helpful too. I have had him for three classes and I don't understand how anyone wouldn't feel the same way.
Excellent class and great instructor. He has a great voice and explains things well. Go to his office hours and he just might feed you too!
I hate this class. The material is stuff we learned in middle school! The professor only makes it worse with his monotone voice and he constantly seems to be yelling. It actually hurts my ears. The class is easy, but boring for people with more than 2 brain cells.
Scott was one of THE BEST professors I have ever had. He was awesome!
had scott for 3 classes...best teacher ever! so nice, funny, and and insightful. if you have a question just talk to him...or email...he gets back to you so quick as well. makes sometimes boring hard subjects interesting...and easy to understand
Had him for Abnormal Psych... he has the voice of the moviefone guy :) He's a great teacher
Awesome teacher. This was the only class I didn't fall asleep in. Silberman is helpful, fun, and he responds to emails quickly. Genuinely wants everyone to get an A.
Amazingly good teacher. Keeps your attention the entire class period. His tests are pretty easy. If you have the chance... have him as a teacher.... you wont be let down!!! :)
Great professor. Cares about his students and explains things well. Very interesting storyteller too!
Great teacher for Abnormal, knows the subject well. Enjoyed the class and his method of teaching.
Great class. He is interestinga and funny. I think that you will like his teaching style. Very helpful too.
He really is a great teacher. Very informative and had loads of stories. The test covers both lecture and book. Great course, he has a dry sense of humor I thought
I took him in the summer and loved every minute! He's funny, has great stories and sounds like Mr. Moviephone from Harkins. He's a great teacher and the tests are pretty easy.
excellent teacher
Great professor. He made me really interested in this stuff. You should take him if you can. You won't be sorry.
HE IS A GOOD TEACHER. WOULD RECOMMEND HIM.
Very funny guy! Makes class intersting!! (and he actually makes sense of things!)
Great Professor. Easy to understand, funny, and very helpful.
Scott is an amazing professor. Very clear and precise. With most of the classes he teaches he encourages students to use their notes/book during tests. With his statistics class, you dont even have to buy a book. Only thing you need is a $5 packet from the bookstore. I would encourage everyone to take at least one of his classes!
He was an amazing teacher!! I loved his method of teaching! Just study and you'll do great! Plus he's hot!!
Best instructor at Chandler-Gilbert college. If you need psy 101, take it from this instructor you won't regret it.
He is a very good professor; interesting, funny, and a good story teller. He can be tough however, if you don't study or follow the rules in the syllabus. Overall, clearly one of the best at the college.
He's very helpful and very interesting. You don't have to buy a huge book just a $5 packet. All of the tests are open book/notes, but when you attend class he helps make sense of everything.
He is funny and interesting. The Cheap reading packet isn't in all of his classes. I should know because I took everything that he teaches. He can be tough but he is nice too and very concerned about your learning.
He makes the material interesting and verrry easy. Awesome teacher. I took Intro to Statistics from him as well.
This is the third class I've taken from him and he's a really nice teacher. As long as you come to class and take notes, you'll get an A. There is almost no out of class work needed which was really nice.
Great instructor! Taking him for Psy101 and Abnormal Psy. next semester. Study, make it to class and stay awake and you'll do fine. Fair and fun.
He is a wonderful professor!
Great teacher. Made class interesting, yet not too hard. Just write really good notes and study them straight down.
He is the best professor I have ever had in psychology. If I had to take any more psych classes, I would take them with him!
Best teacher ever. Very fair, kind, encouraging. Has a cool voice and makes coming to college fun, at least for his class! You'll never want to miss a day.
great teacher! took him for abnormal psychology and he made class very interesting and easy to follow along. very fair and understanding.
He is a good teacher, but two things really bothered me. He always showed up late for class and his tests are extrememly difficult and unnecessarily long. I did great in his class, but poorly on the tests. He likes to ask trick questions which was very frustrating.
This professor is awesome. He always shows up to class late and tries to laugh it off and make some excuse. Hes very straigh forward in his notes and tells you exactly what to study! He's funny and clear on what you need to know!
I have now taken three of Scott's classes (101, 230, 266) and he's an absolutely excellent teacher. Clear, opinionated, we're always out of class early, and his tests are a cinch as long as you listened. Uses the book but is completely unnecessary to buy one--he covers everything in notes. Just beware: he tells the same jokes every semester.
Great teacher
What can I say. Unbelievably great! Any class he teaches a student should rearrange his or her schedule to be in his classes. There just is not enough room for all the positive adjectives!!
I loved this class! Dr. Silberman was down to Earth and extremely helpful. He never tried to trick you, what he went over in class was on the test, so take notes. He made the topic interesting and fun. I'd recommend him to anybody!
Ive taken 3 classes with this professor and he is amazing! He is really down to earth and is easy to follow. He allows 6 absences until he drops you and his tests are super easy. He tells funny stories and is easy to get along with. No homework, so do well on the tests. Easy A to get in any class!
Scott Silberman is the epitome of what every teacher ought to be. He is very clear and very helpful. I enjoyed his class tremendously and recommend him as a professor to everyone. It's impossible to dislike this guy. If only he taught chemistry, math, and bio -then I'd be set for life.
Silberman is really down-to-earth. He basically writes down all of the notes on the board for you. All what you have to do is copy them down in the exact format he has. His tests are super EASY!! The questions are all based on the notes and what he talked during class. Furthermore, you'll know when a question will be in the test since he repeats th
He is one of the best professors @ Chandler Gilbert. He is very caring about how you succeed and is willing to take his own time to help you. I highly recommend him to everyone.
If you put out the effort, so will he. I enjoyed this class and didn't expect that. He is funny and knows psychology ver well. As a single mom about his age, I wouldn't mind meeting a guy like him! His class wasn't that easy but he is willing to help you learn. Take advantage of his willingness to help.
I've taken 3 classes with Scott, I actually have rearranged my school and work schedules to be in his class, that's just how amazing he is! Write good notes and you'll be fine!
take good notes and your set. very good class to take, loved him
Awesome! He does sound like the Moviefone guy, but it keeps you awake.
Awesome teacher! Makes a very difficult concept crystal clear. Best of all, he summarized a $200 book down to a packet of only what you need to know. Break everything down step by step. Keep good note and you will get an A. Wish I had other classes to take from him.
Great teaching. Usd a lot of examples in the daily life to help you understand those hard terms. Sometimes the pace is a little too fast. Take all the notes and his words as much as you can in this funny and interesting class.
I never thought that statistics could be funny or interesting but he makes it that way. Great class. I love this man!
This class was actually quite interesting and informative. I like him alot and would recommend him to anyone.
I took this class in the summer and am glad i did. Its the kind of class that you'd get burned out with if you took it in a regular semester. Its an easy A. His exams are nearly identical to the notes taken in class, so take good notes. I wouldnt even suggest getting the book unless you miss a day of class and have to brief yourself on the chapter
Scott is by far my favorite teacher at CGCC, I revolve my schedule around his classes. If you need to take a psychology class take it with him!
BEST CLASS EVER!!!! Try and make sure you get him as a teacher! Very fun, explains things well, make sure you take good notes and the test will be easy!! He is very funny, and tells stories!
Very nice and helpful. His tests are fair but not that easy. He is one of the best at this college.
This was by far my favorite teacher at CGCC. He was so helpful! His class was easy as long as you took good notes and did the assignments. I bought the text book and didn't open it once, so as long as your in class I would highly recommend not getting the text book!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Scott Silberman. I probuably could have gotten an A if I would have read the book. He was so clear and funny it was hard not to pay total attention. He is so great!!!!
Dr. Silberman was an excellent teacher. Very easy going and always kept the class in order, all of our lessons where on schedule according to syllabus and he kept the class entertaining. Always answered emails, text messages and opened communication to anyone needing help. His teat and assignments were always easy to follow.
One of the only good quality teacher at CGCC. He is so nice and his lectures are actually entertaining and interesting. He cares about your success in the lass and the exams are easy. Take this class, you won't regret it.
He was about the only professor I had at CGCC that I liked. He was very informative and the class was fairly easy.
Take this class you will love it. He is direct and to the point, he tells you everything you need to know for the tests. He teaches the way all teachers should in college!!
Organized. Clear communicator. Interesting lecture. If you go to class and take notes, you will do well. If you don't, it will be more of a struggle. I highly recommend taking his class.
I have had Scott as a professor for PSY101, PSY266, PSY267, and currently am in his PSY290 class. He is an extremely helpful teacher and is very thorough on the material. He makes class the class book himself so it is cheaper and has exactly what you need to know in the book. I strongly recommend him for any first timers in Psych & Psych Majors.
Great teacher, and hilarious. He keeps your attention well, and makes sure that you know what you need to know for the tests. Just show up and take a little notes, and you'll have a great grade. I really enjoyed coming to class.
Awesome teacher! Easy class if you show up and pay attention. The exams are relatively easy and if you study, you should get at least a B in the class. Homework is worth a lot of points and is mandatory if you want a good grade but it is very simple and takes no time at all. Good class, good teacher, would recommend!
I didn't think this class was that easy but he is cool, helpful and knows his stuff well. Great class.
Interesting speaker. Hes good. Very little homework. I would definitely take him again.
Silberman is an amazing professor! I've taken three psychology classes with him now. He knows the information very well and always has a personal example to help you better understand everything. I would recommend taking him for any psychology class.
Great teacher! He knows a lot, and gives personal examples for different concepts.
LOVE THIS TEACHER!!!! He is super great and keeps the class super fun. I usually hate paying attention in class but I could not help but WANT to learn. Tests are easy and he tells you exactly what you need to know.
Dr. Silberman is by far one of the best teachers at Chandler- Gilbert. He knows his stuff, and he just gets right to the point. Not to mention adds a little dry humor and stories (which are very funny btw) to the mix. I found through this class that I actually like research! He is a great teacher and I highly recommend him.
Took his Summer class. As long you take good notes you don't need a book. He always has a story to tell that gives an example. the only reason I finished with a B was I didn't feel like doing the case study. Great teacher lots of knowledge, easy going
He is a great teacher. Highly recommended. I've been at CGCC for the last 3 years and he has been my favorite so far.
This is my second class with Prof. Silberman and he again manages to teach a difficult class to the point where any one can understand, we used a reading packet that coast less than $10 and he makes students understand the language of Stats
I loved his class! Very interesting material, got me thinking about majoring in psychology. Scott is hilarious and always clarifies any questions you may have. Doesn't give much homework, just be sure to take notes for the quizes and you'll be fine! Definitely recommend taking his class to anyone
Scott is just great, didn't use the textbook all year, I could have save $200 but oh well :/ he's very organized and clear about what's going to be on the tests and the tests are easy if you pay the slightest bit of attention. I was in a hybrid class but everything you needed to know he went over the one day we met a week.
This is one of the best teachers you could get. If you need help, he will talk to you before a test and go over the materials which helped me a ton. He is always very clear and makes class interesting and fun. He knows his stuff and you can really learn something from him. He is the best teacher I have had at CGCC.
Excellent Instructor
Great teacher! He is very interesting and full of a ton of stories because he actually works in the field. I took this class once a week and as long as you show up and highlight the parts of the reading packet that he specifically talks about, then you will do great!!
He is such a great professor to have, highly recommend him. his stories really help you remember the material and he has a genuine care for his students. both interesting and not a waste of time!
He's a good teacher, you don't need the textbook unless you want to follow along with him. He's very clear and keeps up to date with grading assignments. I recommend taking his class.
Silberman is a great teacher! Highly recommend if you are taking psychology. He keeps his lectures entertaining with stories that are helpful. Homework is easy and you won't have to stress about it. He teaches effectively and class is productive.
Great class and great instructor. I wasn't expecting to like it or to learn so much.
This guy is amazing!! A major reason why I am not majoring in Psychology. Once I had him for a professor I made sure I took all the classes I could with him. Never uses the book. All the information that is on the exams is talked about in the lectures. He is a little awkward but super funny and very easy to relate to!
Great professor and gives helpful lessons in class. Likes to share a lot of stories so be prepared LOL. All around very nice and funny. Makes class fun! Also, the textbook he uses is like a $5 packet which gives you every detail of his lessons!
Clear, simple, focused lessons. Entertaining as well. He uses a lot of personal examples and stories. Good amount of textbook, lecture, videos, and other references. Super easy. Sometimes it hard to know what to focus on for exams but overall a great class and teacher.
I don't really recommend him unless you are a fast learner he runs through his lectures like everyone understands him. YOU HAVE TO READ THE BOOK YOUR SELF AND STUDY A LOT. His test are REALLY CONFUSING and over 60 questions each so if you aren't good at remembering a lot of things at once I don't recommend him.
If you need a PSY course, Dr. Silberman is the only one to take! He does his very best to make sure the information covered is clear and easy to remember. The tests are a little daunting, and he always requires an end of semester project, but if you pay attention you'll pass no problem. The textbooks are fun and usually cheap too!
Scott is so funny. He's kind of quirky, but he's really good at his subject and teaching. I took a hybrid class where we only met once a week, so we had homework every week, but it's only two questions about what you covered in the lecture. TAKE GOOD NOTES!! Tests are based off of what is covered in lectures.
I love this teacher! I recommend him to anyone taking 290 or 267. He has been working in the field for over 25 years and has been teaching for about as long as well. Loves to teach, has great stories, and genuinely cares about your success. Study what he writes on the board and you'll do fine on tests.
Great teacher, MUST STUDY AND STUDY HARD! lots of information to remember but he does not blindside you. gives you plenty of time to complete assignments just need to study a ton, my mistake on the test.
This professor is awesome!
Great teacher! He genuienly cares about his students and will try to help you out as much as possible. As long as you take notes on what he writes you should do fine on his tests.
Very funny and great with his lectures. You can tell he knows what he's talking about. Hybrid class was great, class once a week and tests were not too hard.
To start with Dr. Silberman is a great professor, very energetic and a bit goofy. His grading is very straight forward. He is also very fair. If you pay attention in class and study every now and then you will do fine in his class.
This teacher's amazing. He makes it obvious he wants students to succeed and he does a great job with lectures and making sure people understand the material. He's really funny, too. The textbooks are recommended but not really mandatory, and he tries to pick ones that aren't too expensive.
He is awesome. He makes me want to go to class, and the way he teaches keeps you invested. He makes you feel welcome and is willing to help you in any way to be successful. He gives you plenty of time to work on assignments and to study for exams as well. You won't regret taking this class.
He's a great professor! He tells short stories and jokes to help you understand the lectures better. Very simple, show up for the notes, do online assignments and you will do good on exams and overall in the class! Definitely recommend taking this professor
I would recommend Scott's classes to anyone! He is super funny and engaging. Take good notes and listen to things he repeats, you will do fine on the tests! He has a ton of experience and tells lots of stories.
Very awesome teacher! His lectures are interesting and funny. All you need to do is show up and study for tests to get an A. The only homework is to answer 2 questions a week online. This is by far my favorite class. He makes it very easy to understand. I would highly recommend this teacher!
Dr. Silberman was honestly one of the most easiest teachers I've ever had. But that isn't all that matters, he really knows his stuff. Every lecture we had he would make skeleton notes which basically contain everything you'll know for future exams, just study the skeleton notes and theres no reason why you shouldn't get an A.
Very nice, very funny. Just pay attention and don't talk and you'll be fine.
Scott is an awesome teacher. I took him for abnormal psych. He typically tells you what you need to know for each test, and throughout the semester there are 10 online assignments which are very easy. He will also curve his tests, usually adding back 1-2 points each time. Fantastic teacher who is very funny and very passionate about his subject!
Although I didn't learn a whole lot from his class he was a fantastic teacher who made the class interesting. It wasn't a dreadful class and as long as you did decent on the tests you would pass the class.
pretty casual class, lectures every day kinda boring but an easy A.
Dr. Silberman is funny and the lectures are never boring. He gives out notes every class and if you just study those you can get As on the tests. If you miss a class he is available for help. He gives feedback on most assignments and puts grades in almost immediately. Great class to take, you don't even need the textbook.
He knows whats important to learn and leaves it at that. Everything has a purpose so its clear & concise. If you show up and follow along, you get all of the points. Tests arent hard. He prepares you for the paper every step of the way and is accessible for help. Gives class time to write the paper. Dont have to do very much outside of class
Easy class! Dr. Silberman is a funny prof. I made the mistake on not making time to study for exams. Lectures and labs are super easy. Show up, do your work and you'll easily pass.
As long as you go to class you can easily get an A! Dr. Silberman is very funny and his lectures are easy to pay attention to. He basically tells you everything that is going to be on the exams an the final is open book. The assignments are easy. Great class.
Dr. Silberman is a wonderful instructor. He clearly knows his stuff, and he actually communicates it to his students in a way that can be remembered. His voice inflections are really funny, so I tended to listed well, haha. He also gives good feedback when needed. I plan on taking more of his courses.
He was good, kind of boring he reads from the book twice in a row. Simple class just meet his deadlines and if you participate and don't use your phone in class he'll go easy on your test grades.
He is a very easy teacher and I do not mean that you will not learn anything. There are no surprises, he tells you from the beginning what you need to do to pass. I praise Jesus for him.
Professor Silberman is a great, funny, and dedicated teacher. You should make it a priority to get to class, he's a fair grader. Do the work and study and you will do well in his class. I'm taking another Psych with him next semester because he left a great impression.
Man this dude had me weak all the time
This class was super easy. Easy long as you show up. The test are the exact same as the study guide. There is only about 15 minutes of homework a week
He is absolutely the best teacher at CGCC. He is so funny
He makes everything clear from start to finish. Goes over the test the morning of the test. Funny, simple, and straightforward with no guessing. Do the work and you will pass. Focuses on not stressing students out.
I took this class online due to COVID-19, Scott made the classes, quizzes, and exams structured and easy to maneuver through. He makes notes for students to use while following along in his YouTube lectures and PowerPoints. Everything he talked about in these lectures showed up on his quizzes/exams which made studying very easy.
Prof Silberman is the first professor I have taken the time to rate but I cannot say enough positive things about this class and professor! His class is so clearly structured, he grades super fast/gives clear feedback, his lectures and notes are easy to follow and study, and really cares about his students. I wish he could teach all my classes!
His class was super fun and easy! Professor Silberman was a very fun teacher to be learning from and he likes to relate new information to things people might have experienced before. His explanations are very simple and easy to remember. I would look no further when picking your psych teacher! Hes amazing!
Silberman was an alright professor. He is easy but very monotone and boring. At the end of the semester i started doing bad due to mental health reasons and when my brother got into a bad car accident he refused to give me an hour extension. He does not care for students.
Professor Silberman is a great teacher. The course goes along with a course handout and Silberman creates lectures for each section so it was easy to understand, which it was. If you pay attention to the lecture, you'll do fine on the quizzes. There's also a lab along with a quiz each week that's pretty easy.
Mr. Silberman made my research methods class. The man teaches in a very unique but effective way, utilizing a packet that you as the student follow along with. Research methods can be quite boring however he has found a way to make it not boring. The final project is also a lot of work but the work is absolutely worth it. You will learn a lot.
Probably my favorite professor I've had during my college career so far. He provides "skeleton notes" for you to add to and follow along during his lectures which was extremely helpful. As long as you listen and take notes during his lectures, you will pass the class. I purchased the required textbook for this course, but it was not used once.
Is this a class of a comedy show because it is great!! He makes the subject of research methods understandable while being hilarious. Also, he is a great teacher who cares about you. He has been accommodating to my situation and I am grateful.
He's such a great teacher! He's not a hard grader and he wants you to get the best grade possible! He is such a nice guy to talk to also and would highly recommend him!
Dr. Silberman is my favorite professor so far! He is hilarious in class and the assignments are really easy! I definitely recommend taking his class.
Prof. Scott Silberman is a very responsible professor. Assignments and exams are always graded quickly. Psychology is a very difficult course, a lot of new words and concepts, but I learned it easily with the help of the skeleton notes and videos he provided. I highly recommend his class to you.
Hands down one of the best at CGCC! Do whatever you can to take PSY290 with professor Silberman - don't even look at other professors.
I think Professor Silberman is the only professor I've ever had who I can confidently give a 5-star rating. He's a fast grader and gives feedback almost immediately, all his assignments have clear instructions, and if you watch his videos of him going over the reading packet you are basically guaranteed to pass the quizzes and labs.
Dr. Scott is the best his class is very organized and not very busy work. Make Sure you read the packet and watch the videos if you want to do good on the exams. There was a final paper it was a little challenging but definitely will learn a lot and if you try you will get a good grade.
If you're considering taking this class, you absolutely have to with Dr. S. He offers so much help and makes the final project less stressful by breaking it down into parts. YOU MUST GO TO CLASS. If you do, you'll get A's on the labs, quizzes and exams. He's the best, wish I could take another class with him!
Dr. Silberman's class is well-organized and engaging. The lectures and course materials make the subject understandable. Using Unstuck study alongside the textbook and videos helped me excel in this class.
By far the BEST professor I've ever had, his work was difficult at times but he made this course so fun that working hard was easy, even more easy than a trip to the zoo!
AMAZING!!! Professor Silberman is an amazing professor with an amazing attitude towards students and education, he was taught me so much about psychology and I have honestly never had a better teacher and educator in all my years of school. He is always encouraging and will never ever bring you down. 10/10
He is the most chill professor you will ever have. Somehow, you will remember what he teaches without having to do loads of homework.
Easy class with light workload, hilarious, actually learned something. Attendance is not entirely mandatory, but with how much fun his class is you'll want to come. Most assignments are also gone over in class, but they're never super time-intensive. Take any of his classes if you're a psych major at CGCC, trust.
