Spring 2025 - Pretty easy class, barely ever showed up and still got an A. He seems extremely passionate about what hes teaching and it is interesting, but hes a bit boring as a lecturer. The assignments aren't too bad, I think theres a discussion every week and 3 short essays. Take this class!!

Fall 2021 - Please take his classes! He is amazing, genuine, intelligent, and truly cares for his students. He has honestly made my experience at UCLA a breath of fresh air because he is is extremely accommodating and really wants his students to feel comfortable. His workload is super manageable, consisting of two essays and a final. I would take his class again if I could, simply because he is well-versed in his lectures, and explains the material in a meticulous, yet relatable fashion. If you want a professor that wants you to succeed, that truly cares, take Silva! He is the best professor that I have had so far!!

Fall 2019 - He is very soft spoken but lectures are him talking about the texts and discussion based, more like socratic. The literature selected is easy to understand. He’s always available for office hours. There are two essays due, and 2 short discussion papers. A gem of a professor at UCLA when I was there.
