Reviews of professor Ryan Wilhelmi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
GLY3163 was an amazing physical science elective, especially for someone who knows nothing about Geology. Just watch the lectures to succeed in weekly quizzes and discussion posts. Exams are essays that are open for a week so you can research and take your time. Prof Wilhemi is super helpful and answers emails quickly / offers office hours.

Had Dr. Wilhelmi for Introduction to Earth Science, was such a good professor. Very caring about students, and provided many extra credit opportunities. Graded on 3 exams, quizzes, reading activities, and assignments. Overall a very fair course and pretty interesting. Would definitely recommend :)

GLY1880 was very fun! Work was very down-to-earth and enriching. The exams are Honorlock, except there is no video, and they are open note, so you may use the textbook or Quizlets. TA grades everything and is a little strict, but nothing too crazy. There are a lot of chances to pick up your grade, including extra credit. Overall great class/prof!

Dr. Wilhelmi is a really sweet professor even though I did not interact with him much because I took his online class. Very easy and I think used the same canvas course as David Foster's Geology American National Parks course. Cool and fun for an elective.

Very simple but interesting course. A quiz and maybe a discussion each week. Lectures are a bit long (20+ mins) but each quiz is only 5 questions and can be taken twice. Cool guy

Prof. Wilhelmi was super easy- took the class asynchronously and had no problem with it. Great easy physical science credit! Graded on exams, quizzes, written reflections, and discussions, but 90% is an A (I'm a polisci major, where NONE of my classes ever have As so low, so this was HUGE). Needs a textbook, but you can find it online for free.

He rocks! Quite literally. He passes rocks around the lecture. Such a considerate and thoughtful teacher who hands out extra credit like candy. Lectures can be long and intensive with notes and there are many assignments, but I took it summer B. Lectures have huge concepts, but tests are manageable, usually more basic and straightforward.

Professor Wilhelmi and Ms. Monaco were great initially. After several students committed plagiarism on the first assignment, they overcorrected and punished the rest of the class. When I made a minor citation error, Ms. Monaco accused me of intentional plagiarism. Despite getting an A, this was hurtful and ruined an otherwise interesting course.

This class was easy but informative. I took it as an elective online. The hardest part was that all 3 exams are 1000 word papers, but you have about a week to do each one. Easy quizzes, no proctoring, participate in weekly discussions. Don't waste your money on the book. Just watch videos, the rest is online research. Easy A.
