Reviews of professor James Wilson

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The grading spilt is horrible, 90% test and 10% hw(completion), his lectures are somewhat useless for the tests but as long as you do the reviews that he gives you'll probably do decent on the tests. He takes so long to grade the tests (gave us the second test's grade a week before the semester ended).

I can't possibly say enough good stuff about Dr. Wilson! He is a wonderful human being! He imparts so much wisdom in a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental yet challenging way. He is always most concerned with uplifting his students, empowering them to be their best and to take care of themselves! "What have you done to take care of yourself?"

He's a great professor and cares that everyone is understanding the materials. He teaches by giving examples so the best way to get the most out of his lectures would be participating and asking questions, since he answers them all. The homeworks are very easy and  just completion grades. The 2 exams are worth a large portion of the grade though

Professor Wilson's lectures were pretty clear most of the time and he was a very nice professor. The exams were not too bad either, which the hw's and especially the practice exams (optional and online, multiple attempts) helped with immensely. The grades were pretty good and I learned a lot!

DO NOT TAKE HIM IF U CARE ABT UR GPA!!! HE IS VERY UNORGANIZED. HE POSTED THE FINAL TEST REVIEWS AT MIDNIGHT BEFORE THE FINAL AND GRADED TEST 1 AFTER ALMOST 5 WEEKS, AND TEST 2  A WEEK BEFORE THE FINAL.U WILL HAVE TO SELF STUDY ONLY. HIS LECTURES ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE & HE GETS ANNOYED DURING OFFICE HOURS & HIS SYLLABUS IS ONLY 5 SENTENCES LONG.

Good professor, if you are new to discrete math, then it will be confusing during lectures. He asks questions a lot and wants students to answer. Although my class barely has anyone participate when he asks a question. There isn't a lot of homework but his teaching style may not fit you. His notes are handwritten so it's hard to follow sometimes.

Prof. Wilson is a great guy. In the class, while the lectures are confusing at times and quick, the exams themselves are fairly easy and much easier than the quizzes and hw he assigns. He has very unique lectures which makes the class fun, but the hw he assigns are sometimes not mandatory so makes it hard to feel like you're learning as time goes.

I personally didn't learn anything from this class. I just went to class to get lost into blurry presentation slides and  listening to one guy speaking more than professor. Felt he was teaching this subject. People who are really into active discussion seemed to gain a lot from this class, but for someone like me this class was absolute nightmare.
