Comment:
His lectures and course content were very well planned. Kept the class interesting and motivated. The reading was not unreasonable and was always relevant to the coursework. Prof. Sil's also a very funny guy which keeps the mood in the class light. Just don't interrupt him while he's in the middle of a lecture and get there on time!

I loved this class. All the material was fascinating and I learned so much. He covers so much ground in each lecture. He maximized usage of all the time within each lecture very effectively. The lectures were thought-provoking, and extremely organized. He lets us use notes on exams. The exams were fun and did not involve regurgitating information.

Prof. Sil is by far the best prof I've had at Penn. I've no idea what the person who made the 11/22 comment was smoking. The lectures are great, he's funny, and the class totally changed the way I think about the world. I highly recommend this prof.

Comment:
Professor Sil doesn't seem to care about teaching at all. There's no point in going to lecture because he just reads from the notes he sends out via email. The class is ridiculously easy, but it's also really boring. I'm really disappointed I signed up for this class and would not recommend registering for Sil's classes.
