If you have a chance to take him, DO IT! He makes the class stress free while teaching you what you need to know. He is an awesome guy.
Makes A&PI very easy!
A very, very nice guy, also very laid back. At first it seems too easy but you really do learn a lot from the class. You know exactly what to expect on the exams.
This guy rocks. By far one of the easiest A&P teachers. Tells you what you need to know! Good teacher

Just show up to class. You will get an A. A joke to the teaching profession.Get an A by osmosis. He will give you the questions and answers to the exams a week before the exam, so taking a test is only a technicality. Very much liked by lazy losers and students who normally will not stand a chance
SOME HE IS HOT SOME SAY HIS NOT , I AM TALKIN ABOUT HIS TEACHING STYLE NOW:) IF EVERYONE ATTENDS A CLASS WHERE THEY DO NOT HAVE TO WORK HARD FOR AN "A" .I think they are very lazy and that teacher is encouraging them to be." lIFE will not always give you the right step to cooking green egg and ham!!
By far one of the easiest teachers. Nice guy. If you have the chance to take him and you want an A, go for it.
For those with test anxiety Silvio is the one. So why was I not satisfied? I wish he kept more order in the class and taught like Dr. Ray,in depth. Can we have our cake and eat it too...
You few insulting Silvio's teaching methods: If a student is interested in learning the material he is teaching, they will learn a ton from this man. For the students that do not care, he gives them a way out so they do not waste his time or the serious students class time. So get a clue! He's great
very nice guy. easiest class ever! if you need a break from the stress of studying, take him!
He is a very good teacher. You learn and he tell you what to expect from his test.
Had him for the lecture, a different teacher for the lab. Easy to get an 'A' but does not "teach." If you need this course to further your education DO NOT TAKE HIM. You will not retain any of the information and the information you learn in the class will not help in the lab. Terrible teacher, nice guy.
he is a great guy good teacher tells you what to expect on the test but if you don't pay attention and see it as an easy A you will not learn anything and just get an easy a but take his class and pay attention
He is one of the nicest and smartest teachers! He is really smart, sweet, and funny too. There are no surprises! More teachers should teach like Dr. Silvio!!!!
He's kool. Very smart and willing to help you with anything you need help with.
Silvio is by far the one of the best teachers that I have had in my college career. Yes, his class is easy, but he is a super nice guy, and very knowledgeable. Great sense of humor, and a wonderful professor.
Excellent Teacher, He know a lot of information and he has a great sense of humor. His class is very easy and I would recommend everyone to take him
funny, nice guy, very easy just wants you to learn, i would definately suggest taking him!!!!
very nice teacher i would recommend Everyone to take him.

Dr. Silvio is the nicest, most helpful, and knowledgeable teacher you will find.
God Bless Him!!!!!!!! He is great! I got an A!!!
He is one of the best teachers you will come across. He explains whatever you don't understand. In addition, he gives you the questions and answers for his test so alll you have to do is study which is never difficult the way he makes it.
NO BOOK REQUIRED. NO ASSIGNMENTS. ONLY TWO EXAMS WHERE HE GIVES YOU THE REVIEW. DID NOT LEARN MUCH. BUT EASY A.NICE GUY.
probably the easiest class ever... if you dont get an A something is wrong with you.. no really.
Easy A. Gives you questions in order that going to be on the test with the answers.The answers are in exact order but the answers are switched around. He just mix up the order of the letters.
This is by far the easiet and the funniest teacher you will come across. He is very intelligent and very passionate on what he is teaching. I recommended him, if you want the easy way of getting an A.
Great teacher, two tests. He gives you the 50 questions and answers for the tests. If you can't get an A, you need to drop out of college.
BEST SCIENCE TEACHER EVER.IF YOU FAIL.WELL ITS ALL YOUR FAULT. YOU SHOULD GET AN A.
Excellent teacher, Let's you have his powerpoint notes. Goes over everything. His quizzes are a pushover.
Easy to pass with an A. If you go to his lectures, have the decency to shut it and listen.
Funny guy, easy A. No book is required. He gives 2 tests which he gives you all the exact same questions and answers before the test!! Highly recommned him!!!
THIS MAN IS A EXCELLECT TEACHER! HIS TEST ARE EASY! IF YOU DON'T GET AN A IN THIS CLASS THEN YOU ARE A DUMMY!! I LOVE THIS CLASS!!
Good and easy teacher
Has a thick accent, but goes over everything thoroughly. Does not require textbook at all. Lectures are through powerpoint which you can download and take home. He also makes sure you are well prepared for his tests. Extremely sweet professor
Must take. Very nice guy and passionate about what he teaches. Must pass with A
amazzzzzzzing teacher. alittle hard to understand but would deff. recomend takeing
Awesome dude!!! There is no way you can fail his class. He tells you everything! If you fain then you are a moron!
GRRRRRRRRRRREEAT TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!
You will learn as much as you want to with him. He will not force you to learn.
Great Guy. Knows his stuff. Has an accent but he is pretty easy to understand. He makes funny little jokes and he is soo nice. I took him for lecture and he just read straight from a powerpoint every class but it helps get the info across. I would take him again for sure! No homework, No quizzes.. 3 grades Midterm, Attendance and Final.. thats it
THIS CLASS IS VERY EASY!!!! YOU WANT AN EASY A TAKE HIM!!!!!!
Very funny, laid-back, cool dude. Tells you exactly whats on the exams. Highly Reccmended.
I loved this professor. The textbook is not necessary, and he goes over each chapter with a review to tell you what will be on the tests. Attendence is manditory...1/3 the grade.
This teacher is a god. Very easy class. And he is extremely friendly and funny. If you want an A, take him. He made me tear in laughter. He is crazy.
If you are looking for a class to boost your GPA then this it is. You are given exactly what is on the midterm and final (your only two tests). But if your looking to actually learn anatomy (which is important for most people taking the class) do not take him.
Took this Class online for the summer A part. If your looking for the God givin A or B in a online class this is it!!!! Only give 2 test (midterm,Final) what ever you get on those is your final grade!! Easy money! no book use have all the info on powerpoint! EASY EASY EASY MONEY!
This professor is AMAZING!!!! I took him online, one midterm and a final which come right out of the notes he gives!!!He is very nice and very helpful!!! TAKE HIMM!!!
I took his online class, Summer A. This professor is fantastic. All information is on powerpoint. He gives two exams, the midterma nd the final. Very relaxed style of teaching. I would highly recommend him!
Good teacher and very easy. Even though the class is easy you still learn something. The lectures are kind of long but if you pay attention and take the notes at the end of the powerpoints you should get an A in the class. Attendance is not completely mandatory but unless you are smart and don't need the review then I suggest you go.
I took his online microbio and anatomy lecture this semister and i spent a total of 2 hours on each course the whole semister. BEST TEACHER EVEr
This professor is the best!!!! I can't stress it enough. He tells you what's gonna be on the exam along with the answers, and he doesn't care whether you show up to class or not. He gives points for coming to class, so if you think you need the points, its up to you to go to class.
Great teacher. Took biology online class and he gives review questions before the tests which you Have to do because the questions will be on the test. Dont buy the book . Notes are online
Cuts out all the non-sense and focuses on what you need to know, no tests, no quizes, just take it all as a review. Only one powerpoint presentation to do.
I would take another course with this professor. He is awesome, and very helpful. He is very passionate about his teaching. He knows his stuff.
Ridiculously easy online class. Every chapter (27!) had a test, Research Assignment (easy) and Discussion post (easy) and you had to respond to 1 other persons post. Everything was super easy though. I used the text for the tests and stopped listening to the lectures. I got an A for my final average. If you aren't retarded, you will too.
Took on-line class. Teacher is fabulous. Fast response to e-mails. And,if you think you are right on an answer he will listen to your argument and make any adjustment. I think I learned much more doing the research for the questions & reply than just taking tests & doing a paper. It made you think & figure things out. Will take him again.
AWESOME PROFESSOR, Super smart, he has a mid-term & a Final! No BS in between & he goes over the questions and makes sure you understand and you learn alot!!
TOOK HIS LECTURE CLASS AND PASSED IT WITH AN "A". IF YOU GET ANYTHING LOWRER THAN AN "A", ITS BECUSE YOU CHOSE TOO. POWERPOINTS ARE CLEAR AND TO THE POINT, ALL ASSIGNMENTS COINCIDE WITH LECTURE BEING THOUGHT. LOVE THIS PROFESSOR!!!! WISH HE WAS TEACHING BSC2086 ONLINE FOR SUMMER B. TAKE HIM, NO REGERTS, ESPECIALLY NURSING STUDENTS!
Question for those who have taken his online micro class!! Does anyone know if you must go to campus for his tests? I live an hr away so this is a determining factor. Thanks :)
ONLINE class has all work, including tests online. It was a total of 27 tests, 27 research assignments, and 27 posts with 2 posts each chapter. Yes, it is a lot of work, but he is extremely fair by giving a test review for each chapter. Answer the test review questions yourself on paper before taking online test and you will get a A.
Take this professor for EVERY class you can! He doesn't want you to just memorize. He has a gift at explaining complex material in a way you will understand. I took him for A&P II and Microbiology at the same time! Favorite classes! Very Intelligent, great personality. Loves his job. We all loved him! I wish he taught all classes I ever needed!
Class couldn't be any easier. Pretty much sends you the test to your email (online course) weekly. Has powerpoints with diagrams which are very helpful. However, if you try and message him or contact him he is very rude!!! Not a people person at all.
The Best Teacher There is, Period. He has a passion for Anatomy and Phys, and presents really complex materioal with ease. It is evident that he has put effort in his slides to condense material, giving you exactly, question by question, what is on the exam! Beware, as there are VERY lazy students who take his class; they will try latching on you..
THE BEST TEACHER HANDS DOWN! I WISHI HAD HIM FOR ANATOMY 1 AND 2! HE IS SO NICE AND SOOOOOO HELPFUL AND UNDERSTANDING...HIS TEST ARE SO FAIR AND EASY BUT U HAVE TO ATTEND CLASS. HE MAKE A MIRCO SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING THEN ANY OTHER TEACHER TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!! U WONT REGRET IT!
Easiest class you will EVER take, hands down. He GIVES YOU THE ANSWERS to the online quizzes IN EVERY CLASS. Just go to class and write down the answers, that is all this class requires. Literally. He's a nice guy, and will even adjust the deadlines for the quizzes if you need more time to take them. TAKE HIM FOR EVERY SCIENCE CLASS HE TEACHES!!
Easiest class ever taken. Very informative. Didnt even need the book. Took the class online, got an A. Just read the Powerpoint slides. He can get easily annoyed when a question is asked sometimes. DQ and Research assignments are easy. I would highly recommend him.
Not too much to say that hasn't been said already. Took his online BSC2085 and BSC2086 classes, and they were great. Didn't need the book - just read the slides and you're good, as well as doing the assignments and discussions. No reason not to get at least a B. Definitely take him.
EASIEST CLASS, TAKE HIM FOR ALL YOUR REQUIRED SCIENCES. Did not use textbook. Took him online, open book open note tests. He sends you all the test questions before the exams. He has 27 online exams, review questions and discussion questions which are less than 200 words. Keep up with deadlines and you will be fine.
This is the best, most knowledgeable professors in the entire institution, if not the state of Florida. So intelligent, so helpful, so easy to get an A in the hardest subjects ever taken. Micro is no joke. Do not take any other teacher but him. Beware, however, there are students that should not be in college taking him
Prof Silvio truly teaches from the passion in his heart. He lectures from the book that you do not need for class. All of his Power Pt. presentations are from the book.Take notes for you exams and you will be gold. His passion and respect for his students is awesome.I looked forward to his class.His qualities make him "hot" to me.No disappointment!
Palm Beach State College should be honored to have Professor Silvio. He is truly a gentleman and loves to teach microbiology.
This is one of the best professors I could have ever asked for. He is so helpful and cares about his students. If you take him you will not be disappointed. I took him for all my sciences and am leaving with a world full of knowledge. Silvio is the BEST!
The best Microbiology teacher ...hands down. you are lucky to have him if you can get him for Professor
loved this class totally recomend it
BEST TEACHER FOR EASY A. i took this course online and it was so easy. 4 hw assignments due every week which you can honestly just copy and paste from internet. Then 1 test every 2 weeks. He sends practice questions before every test that is exactly like the test. EASY A!
This professor is so amazing .I took his class went over all the questions in class and go head take exam on line.Go for him ,I highly recommend Dr Silvio.Easy A.Very helpful and comprehended .
Extremely helpful, clear on class requirements. Complete study guides and the class will flow. I got an A+ during an express class.
Took him online for BSC2085 in summer A. I got an "A" for such a fast pace class. You don't need the text book. Everything you need for this class is on his powerpoint lectures. He also gives a study guide which are the same questions on the exam. Not much class work, just 2 discussion per week, and 1 research assignment which is so easy. Take him
Micro, being 27 chapters, is so informative with abundant info to memorize and study, making it potentially a pain-staking pre-req. This is why having the right professor is so imperative. If you don't take Dr. Silvio, no doubt, you'll suffer greatly. He's a miracle which can't be compared to.
Who'd imagine saying A and P 2 was an easy A? Baffling to even consider, but with Dr. Silvio, miracles do happen. The best teacher for health science, period. Effort towards student success is truly displayed with all the hard work he puts in. No book needed. Amazing!
Love this professor! Just look up answers for review questions and your guaranteed an A!
Awesome, the best, sweet, nice, smart, love it, the best professor i have ever had. Take ti you wont regretted, he also teaches microbiology, i which i would have taken him.
Very Easy class! Never used the book and still managed to get a B!
What a difference a professor makes! I really enjoyed taking this course online with Dr. Sylvio - he breaks the material down into slide shows and gives you study guides for each of the 6 exams which really makes it easy to understand. I would definitely take him again.
Nice guy, pretty easy class. He gives you study guides with all the answers in his powerpoints. If have questions or concerns he gets back to you pretty quickly. Do not need book for this class.
I really enjoyed taking this class. it was so informative and the responses were timely and so helpful. I am going to take this same teacher for anatomy 2
BSC 2085 is considered to be a difficult course, but if you take professor Silvio you will have no regrets. Trust me! He is a tremendous asset to the science department at Palm Beach State. Anyone who is planning on taking anatomy, please take this professor. If you don't take his class, then you will have no one else to blame but yourself!!!
Take his online Bio class- easiest ever! Don't need a book, he supplies power points and a study guide from which the exam questions are taken directly. 4-6 ch's & 20 questions per exam. Discussion posts and short assignments for each chapter (copy and paste from the pp or online and still get a 100). Very nice guy. Answers emails quickly.
If you take notes on the lectures and review the power point, you can definitely Ace this class. He is thorough and gets to the point. The web-enhanced courses are even better, because he literally goes over what to expect on the test. Take him and you'll get an A!
Very nice person. If ANYTHING unclear, go to his office hours, helps right away. DB is a joke. Study, prepare with the guides, definite B; do assignments on time, A.
Very nice! Gives you the answers to the tests during his lectures, tells you what you need to know. All tests are online so you can take them at home when is convenient. Very easy class.
I was really unsure about taking micro online but his class was fine. He gives plenty of assignments to give your grade cushion. For tests he sends reviews that tell you what to review. Started off a little rough but ended good. Would definitely recommend him to others.
Easy class, professor does lectures through power-point and only 6 test( No midterm No Final)Test are done on blackboard so you are able to use notes for test. He goes over whats going to be on test as he emphasis certain parts of his lecture. Overall great professor,Also TIP for others take his in class lecture and not online! online is more work
Great class, Great teacher. Follow his instructions on syllabus, read, research and you will do well in this class. Highly recommend
Online format: lectures can be 200+ slides, tests are only 20 questions, but if you do the study guide you will be fine. Assignments are easy if you follow the directions. He wants you to pass and is helpful if you are struggling. Made taking an online class extremely easy.
Took his class online would def take again. Very helpful, responds to emails quick, answers questions .
Great online class, I was scared at first since the subject is hard and I was not so sure abt taking it online, but this was the best thing I have ever done. If you do all the project, homework , and test reviews, you will get an A. Take Professor Silvio online, you will not regret, I promise You!!!
Great professor. I took his online class, and this was the best decision. He sends you power points so you don't need the book. Also, sends exams reviews which the answers are found in the slides. He made this class really easy.
Made this class really easy. Online was the best option. He made it really easy. Answers to the reviewed are in the slides. You can't fail this course. Best professor for health, and science majors. Take him you won't regret one bit.
Avoid this professor at all costs. Even with it being an online class, he grades before you can reply to a discussion if you're the first poster. Insane amounts of work shoved into an express semester with 8-12 assignments and a test due per week. He grades with giving no explanation of why you didn't get 100. He replies rudely if you have issues.
I've taken anatomy 1 online and yes, this class is no joke. There are a lot of tedious work, discussions, assignments, and tests every week. He does give you ample amount of time but I will not be taking him online in the future. I feel like it was an easy A but I didn't retain anything, and it will hurt me in the future, with harder classes
Best online class you'll ever take. You won't regret it ;)
Easy online class. 10 quizzes, discussions and research assignments. For quizzes you CAN NOT google them all answers are highlighted in powerpoints. Discussion and research are easy A's. He responds quickly and is willing to help with anything. TAKE HIM NOW
As long as you have good time management there is no way you can possibly fail this class. This an easy A.
His lectures are extremely long and the discussion assignments can be tedious. However, if you complete the study guide you should get a A on every test. The study guide is exactly what is going to be on the exam. There can be a heavy load of assignments but they are not difficult to complete.
Study guides are exactly the questions that will be on the exams. Lectures are really long so it can be tedious reading through them to complete the study guide. Relatively easy class, a lot of assignments but they are not hard to do, just time consuming.
I took this class online and it was an easy A. Just do the assignments before the due date and study the study guides he emails before the test and it will be your easiest A.
Great teacher. Took this class online, there are a lot of discussions and assignments but they are super easy and mandates LESS than 200 words! If you write something he will most likely give 100 on that assignment. you have to respond to one person because he will take 20 points off. Taken him 3 times already. He has great power points.
90% of grade is only 6 test, 20 questions, all online, open book, open powerpoint, open notes. no assignments or final. 10% is attendance. Show up to class and listen to his lectures he stops and tells you which slide is a question on the test. very easy to get an A. Took him 3 times, a/p2, biology online, and microbio.
There is a research assignment and discussion for every chapter with one exam for every two chapters! The study guides for the tests are spot on! There is no way you could do poorly in this class if you stay on top of the deadlines and get the work done! Very easy A!
I am beyond glad that I chose this professor. Took him online, best decision ever! Class simply consists of weekly discussions, reply to 2 classmates and assignments that are 200 words only (which are super easy) and 6 Exams 20 questions each, 30 minutes on the clock (he gives you answers to them on the power-points anyways). EASIEST A!
Easiest online class. Take his class, easy "A" guaranteed! The study guides are extremely helpful and pretty much tell you what will be on the tests. 1 Discussion & 1 assignment every week, no more than 200 words each and 1 response of no more than 100 words, very easy.
Understandable
Take and you won't regret! Easy A. Weekly research paper and discussion, but they aren't hard. 200 words max. Gives clear study guides that if you do you will get an A on the test. I'll only take him for any class he teaches. You won't regret it! Promise! Oh, don't buy the book! He doesn't use it, all PowerPoint. Saves you $$$.
He is one of the easiest professor I have ever had. Do the work and it's an easy A. He responds quickly to your emails. Overall, extremely easy if you do the work.
Although this was an easy class, it won't benefit you if you plan on working in the medical field. Answers to the test are in the PowerPoint. Sadly that means majority of the people don't even bother to read the slides they just look for the answers.
Amazing! Easy A if you read the pwrpnts and answer the study guide Q.'s before the exams. I took it online in 6 weeks. Tests every week. No mid-term or final! Easy discussions and research assignments weekly (sometimes you, literally, just had to cut and paste a paragraph from another website). TAKE THIS CLASS & PROFESSOR ONLINE! You will thank me!
Very easy class! It's hard NOT to get an "A." He tells you exactly what will be on the tests. I have to admit, lectures were sometimes boring, as there is a lot of information thrown at you at once. But he did a great job of teaching, and I learned a lot from taking his class.
Class was very easy! He tells you everything that is going to be on the test! Only 6 test!
What a great class!
Awesome anyone to take this class please choose him! Literally everything is there for you to pass. Just be consciou of the deadline. NO MAKE UP! super easy A. 15 chapters . each one had one discussi and one super easy reseach assignments. 6 exams and he gives you the study guide which is exact the exam (20 questions each) use the voice over powerp
Such an easy class, all the information needed for the assignments are on the powerpoints, and if you use the study guide it's literally the exact same thing of whats on the exams. No final, I guarantee you will not regret taking him!
This is a easy class but you do have to work at it. I took the online class and I got a A in the class. You must not FORGET the deadlines. Make sure you complete all research assignments and discussion boards. As for the exams! It's all about how you prepare for them. Look at the key things he gives you and find it in the powerpoints. Easy A
Simple class. Powerpoints are very detailed. Great for people that want to go into the medical field. Exams are based on info from the powerpoints. He doesnt care that much about the discussion and assignments. Pretty much will give you 100 for them if you try.
Great professor. All you have to do is show up to class. The information for the tests are all on the powerpoints. You will not regret taking this class.
Ive taken him for all my sciences so far and do not plann on switching teachers anytime soon. Gives you the grade you deserve. You earn your A
