Reviews of professor Kenneth Wilson

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Really nice guy and passionate about history, but his powerpoint slides were bare so you had no information to go back to study or if you missed something. Reading the book helped but some of his information differed from the book. His weekly quizzes were extremely hard and I never got an A on any of them.

Wilson is a nice guy but doesn't know how to lecture well. Powerpoints are useless and reading the text is some what helpful to understand the topic. If you like written exams, his shouldn't be too hard. But, lectures are so heavy, taking notes feels useless as you don't know what's important. Overall: lectures heavy and very confusing to follow.

I don't think the rest of the reviews here are fair. Overall, this instructor teaches a good class. The lectures compliment the rest of the material reasonably well. He takes the time to offer plenty of recorded lectures, videos, and reading. Do the work, & you'll do fine. Nice guy who gives good feedback. Not a bad professor at all.

I took HST195 (not listed) online with Prof. Wilson. He's nice and gives good feedback on assignments and you'll succeed if you do the work. His lectures plus assigned readings go along with the material found in assignments. It was hard pinpointing what info was important as the recorded lectures are info heavy.

This is one of the worst classes I've ever taken, and I repeat, do not take him; there are other options. His PowerPoints are completely worthless, and he doesn't even utilize Blackboard, so you have no idea what your grade is. He's terrible at replying to emails; don't bother, he's useless. There are many things wrong with him,  word limit.
