Reviews of professor Bobby Wilson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Do not take this class if you haven't taken calculus before. I got an A in AP Calc in high school and this class was WAY harder. The homework , quizzes, and exams were much more difficult than the lectures/worksheets. I basically had to rely on my high school notes and teach myself.

Seems nice but lectures were dull (mostly proofs ans textbook readings) and he didn't do as much as other profs in terms of supplemental materials and review. He often didn't finish lectures because he spent time writing the proofs, so if you like examples you'll have to find other resources not included in the class.

Decent professor. Won't blow your mind with intuitive and mainstreamed methods to learn and digest Calculus super easily, however he did teach decently well. As long as you pay attention in lecture, read the book, do hw regularly, and do a couple book practice problems, you can expect a grade >B+

He rushes through lectures and doesn't give you much time to learn the material. He also assigns a lot of homework specifically on WebAssign, which doesn't tell you why your answers are wrong or give any feedback on how to do it right. My TA did all of the teaching in this class and it was generally poorly structured and guided.

He definitely is a smart guy but not great at teaching. Way too much homework that never aligns with the lessons (way harder than the midterms too so not helpful). Classes were unengaging and did not explain anything at all. I even took calc in high school and I feel bad for anyone who didn't. Quizzes were usually easy.

I dropped this class because we had webassign quizzes every week - not like other 124 classes. His lectures are all over the place and it was hard to grasp concepts. This class is VERY test heavy with lots of HW that are WAY harder than the stuff he teaches in class. Would not recommend if you have not taken calculus before.

Took Wilson Autumn Q 2023. He assumes the class has a background in calculus from HS, so he flies through examples. His lectures are fast paced/confusing/bad, my TA was better at explaining the concepts. If you need to take the Calc series just take it at Everett CC. The profs care more & are better teachers. 2.3ed 124 at UW & 4.0 125 at Everett.

Professor Wilson is a great professor. He is very professional. His exams are not that tough and if you attend his lectures and study from his lecture notes you'll be fine. However if you're taking the class remotely, be mindful that the final exam will be lengthy. Don't expect him to be super friendly, but overall he is a really good professor.
