You WONT LEARN ANYTHING!!! This guy sucks. He's disorganized and what he lectures on, doesn't really help for preparation for the exams. Also very boring, bring laptop if u have one. Howver, he does curve!

This guy confuses the hell out of you and then tries to make you feel stupid. He comes in looking like he spent all night anlyzing surveys. If you're stuck in his class, read the book and ignore everything he says. Don't even try, it'll confuse you more.

study guide is not helpful, study everything in the bold letters for midterm1&2. Final midterm, not helpful, study all midterm study guides 1 and 2, and new terms..For the group presentation, pick your groups carefully, my group lag so bad!!!

I was actually interested in this class beforehand, but Silver is maybe the worst business teacher @ SJSU. SO UNORGANIZED w/ no structure! Dont be surprised if you get lost in this class. Still a lot better than Werbel though. Dont even bother going to lectures but lab is important. Just study terms on study guide for midterms and you'll pass.

Silver will make you want to rip your hair out as he is the most unorganized/unprepared instructor EVAR! Exams are borderline impossible.He is no help on what he wants out of the group film project.Why does an ONLINE course have a group project anyways? HOWEVER, if you can tough it out, he grades very easy at the end. I got a B.

You have a group assignment in the lab, so you have to attend that.Gives participation points in the lecture but otherwise, lecture is worthless.You will leave this course knowing LESS than when you started. Terrible teacher, impossible exams. HOWEVER, he grades on the curve and is easy on grading in the end. I got a B.

Is always a huge d$%# whenever you talk to him, borderline insulting. Unsympathetic, unorganized, and not clear at all. Tests were not hard, just read the book and study guides.

Rude, disorganized. Our class only meets once a week and he's cancelled at least twice. Tests are easy if you read the chapters. Waste of time in class, doesn't actually teach anything. Piled on a huge project and a paper in the last three weeks of the semester like an ass. Modules aren't hard but take a long time

There are too much homework, We spend like 8 hours for one single homework problem also, Mystatlab is a terrible system. I recommend not taking this professor.

Class was completely online and to put it simply it was a mess. Class is difficult to navigate, the fact that there is a group project for an online class is ridiculous, and the use of Lockdown Browser with Webcam is unnerving. Would not recommend.

This class is probably the worst experience I have ever had at SJSU. This professor is little to zero help when it comes to anything, he makes MyStatLab do everything. There is never enough time for tests 80 minutes for 40 statistic questions. No visuals, videos only the examples in mystatlab. Youtube taught me everything in this class. DO NOT TAKE

This is the worst professor I have ever taken in my entire college career. I took him online and he offered NO instruction whatsoever. Every assignment was confusing because the instructions were incomprehensible. If you want to do well in this class, you have to read the textbook. But good luck with that - he assigns 2 long chapters each week.

Probably the most useless professor you will run into at SJSU. You have to teach yourself the material in this class, there's no way around it. He gives TWO total lectures throughout the semester and they're irrelevant to the class. He also LOVES using ProctorU (because he's lazy). That should say enough about how much he cares.

Steven Silver is by every definition of the word, Terrible. His online class was the most unorganized class I have ever taken at any school whatsoever. The assignments have no direction, no instructions, and no criteria at all, and then he will give failing grades because they do not meet expectations. DONT TAKE ANY OF HIS CLASSES.

Take this class if your GPA is too high.

Not accessible, not cohesive, completely unorganized and nightmarish! Heavy workload, makes you buy the book HE wrote. Uses Respondus Lockdown+webcam requirements for tests. Not concise in anything he writes while still withholding clear instructions for HW/Projects. This is not an online easy pass at ALL!

This professor was the worst experience I'v ever had. There is no clarity within his instructions and he acts more passive aggressive in his feedback than constructive. His expectations are way beyond the level of the course. Not to mention, quizzes and exams use LockdownBrowser as well as a Webcam. There is no trust or respect for the students.

PLEASE!! DO NOT TAKE HIM! He is a very absent instructor I took his online BUS90 class and he never helped! the worst part is that you cant go back to look at your quizzes so you can practice for the big exams. Everything is from the book a lot of reading; he does not provide any other sources. Everything I have learned so far is from youtube.

IF YOU CHOOSE TO READ TODAY, LET IT BE THIS: This man is ab absolute nightmare. He writes his own Doctorate-level material and expects similar comprehension. Quizzes are weekly (WebCam+Lockdown) and are on 2 chapters (40+ pages) each. He returned each group's most recent assignment (9 groups) and blamed it on the students unknowing. FIRE this man.

This is bar-none the absolute worse professor I've ever had in my life. I honestly recall reading reviews here and thinking I could still do fine with hard work - absolutely, positively *NOT* possible. If there's anything you take seriously, it's NOT taking this class AT ALL. PERIOD. I don't care if you need an extra 3 units. Don't take this class.

DO NOT ignore the bad reviews here because you will 100% regret taking this class with him!! His directions are extremely confusing, his expectations are unclear, and his grading is extremely difficult. There are two chapters of reading every week, and you HAVE to read the book WORD FOR WORD if you want to even pass. Extremely stressful class.

This man is an absolute nightmare. His final assignment consists of a 16-17 (suggest page length) "report" using SPSS, where not once did we use the software in class. In a week's notice you are required to obtain the software and learn statistical analysis on the fly. Oh, not to mention the 15 min video required to summarize the entire process.

PLEASE JUST DONT!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU REALLY WANT TO PASS WHATEVER BUS YOU ARE TRYING TO TAKE AVOID THIS PROFESSOR! DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR DO NOT TAKE HIM! A 7AM CLASS IS WAY BETTER THAN TAKING ANY CLASS WITH HIM

This professor made the material more difficult than it needed to be. The book was awful and the lectures were not helpful either. When students asked questions, the professor's answers were confusing rather than helpful. I would avoid this professor if at all possible.

The worse professor I've ever encounter! Do not take him! You have been warned! He expects you to do the most! If I would have put all my focus in this class, I would have had to sacrifice my other classes! I wish I would have came earlier and read his ratings! I failed this class! it was pointless for me to put effort!

Does not care if you pass or fail.

Worst teacher I have ever had! Homework is nothing what the quizzes and midterms are. Homework requires excel and/or scientific calculator but on the quiz and midterms, you're only allowed a four function calculator and uses lockdown browser with webcam on. Dont take him! Class average on quizzes and test are around 50-60%... currently have 65%...

Worst professor I had the displeasure of being forced to take. Took the course online and the professor was unresponsive to emails. For a summer course, the professor squeezed the same amount of work from a fall/spring semester into a 5 week course. If you have nothing but time, take this professor. If you have a life, do not come close.

This professor is by far the worst professor that I have ever had. It is an ONLINE class just to be aware of. He had no lectures, powerpoints, nothing... You are expected to read the book, but in any case, the book is confusing and hard to navigate, it does not look like the homework whatsoever. If at all possible avoid this class.

His class had no lecture at all. The directions for the homework were extremely confusing and tests were difficult.

Test Heavy. Tests make your grade. Tests done using Respondus browser with Camera. All statistical calculations expected to be done by hand. No interaction with professor, and when contacted takes long time to respond. does not care about the student.

Legitimately the WORST class and PROFESSOR/TEACHER I have ever had in my 19 years on this Earth. Not a joke, the homework took me 10 hours on Friday. 10 HOURS. And I wasn't the only one. Everyone in the class's Discord was complaining too. Also, the quiz questions are nowhere near what is in the homework and the wording is incredibly confusing.

The worse professor you can take at this school. Take literally anyone else and you will pass. This man lies, puts quizzes and exams on days that aren't his. Yells at students, and demand the use of programs that he didn't even teach how to use.

don't take this prof, avoid at all costs. you pay $100 for online access to homework that doesn't relate to quizzes at all. professor doesn't have lectures or anything helpful. his "study guides" just tell you what the concepts in the chapter are but don't provide any practice questions. the mean of quizzes is usually 6/10

Probably the worst professor I have ever had the displeasure of having. His lectures are obnoxiously boring and difficult to follow. Everything he explains, he explains in the most convoluted, roundabout manner. The textbook does not do much to alleviate this issue either - it is just as unnecessarily wordy as his lectures. Stray far away!

Assigns hw and then gives you a quiz on something completely different the next class. I hope that sometimes one of us will hit our expiration date earlier than the other. The guidelines for a review on rate my professor says to include both pros and cons. However, I can't think of a single pro of taking this class with this professor.

Unorganized class. Is barely fixing issues from the begininng of semester, in the middle. Uses lockdown browser and uses nonusable recources, claiming that its available for use. monotone voice and very boring lectures. doesnt reply to emails often until its a class wide issue. also claimed that this class was in person, but half has been online.

I'm genuinely shocked at how did dude got hired. Lectures are horrible and a huge waste of time. Quizzes are not connected with the homework that he gives you. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS.

The professor does not have any knowledge of how technology works, does not know how to properly instruct a class, and cannot connect with his students on an educational or even basic level. Do not recommend taking this class, wish I could transfer out.

Stay away. He mumbles/grainy voice, during office hours and he doesn't even know what's going on.He's kinda rude. I asked him for help on HW and he just sent me the formula.During office hours, it didn't seem like he knew how to solve the problem.. gave me the wrong answer 3x, TA had to step in to help. HOMEWORK IS TEDIOUS, 3-6 hours on homework

Asynchronous class. Homework was horribly tedious and the prerecorded lectures were frankly unwatchable. Weekly quizzes were weirdly concept-based, and the midterms/final reused quiz questions. Steven Silver is the worst professor I've ever taken.

DO NOT TAKE. He does not teach anything, he just reads off slides without explanation. He gives quizzes weekly without helping us prepare. We are quizzed before the homework for that chapter is even due. He also has a very raspy voice which can make it hard to understand and stand. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. HE SHOULD BE LONG RETIRED.

The worst teacher ever. He sat down the entire time and could hardly hear his low monotone voice. This guy should have retired back in the 1950s.

Steven Silver's is the worst teacher I have ever had. His class is characterized by dullness, condescension, ineffectiveness, and negativity. He does not teach, he just speaks to himself and the whiteboard. His tests are extremely difficult and he does not explain things in a comprehensible manner. Do not sign up. Drop if you are already enrolled.

this has been the worst class i have ever taken. his lectures are boring and his explanations are nonexistent, he just reads off his slides which are not helpful at all ... weekly quizzes and hw which is lwk more helpful then his lectures/class. to this day his class traumatized me and i think about it every day bc it enrages me so much

its literally joe biden, its bad.

Unclear Grading Criteria, Does not give good feedback. Weekly quizzes, THREE MIDTERMS + Final. THREE GROUP PROJECTS. Only take as a last resort.

Do not take this guy for Intro to Marketing, Prof. is old af, lectures don't match up with quizzes or midterms half the time. Joe Biden mf interrupts group presentations.

Honestly, even if this class fits your schedule unbelievably nicely I still would wait another semester to do marketing. He's pretty old and has a grainy voice, it's very hard to stay engaged in the lectures. There are hard quizzes every week, 3 midterms, a final, 3 group projects (2 are 10 page papers + slides and 15 min presentation).

Literally Joe Biden.

My class was asynchronous. Prof. Silver's lectures, study guides, etc., are pretty much useless. Expect to do most of the heavy lifting yourself—read the textbook, do the homework in Pearson, and take good notes. You'll get out what you put in. If you do watch the lectures, definitely put them at 1.25 speed.

I've never had a worse experience with professors/teachers in my life. I wish I could rate him 0. Prepare to teach yourself EVERYTHING because he just mumbles condescendingly the whole class and his explanations are long-winded and useless. 1 quiz/week lockdown/webcam even in person. 1 final project but you have to figure that out on your own too.
