Reviews of professor Rex Wilkins

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Rex will make lots of inappropriate comments towards students on religion and personal identity which made ppl uncomfortable. As a professor he should not be pushing his personal beliefs onto the students who may fall under those categories. He also goes on long tangents about unrelated topics to material. Please take a different professor.

Rex is so passionate about the class and has some great things to say about Latin American culture. The homework was very consistent and the D2L was organized. He was flexible if you go to class and participate.

(FOR SPAN330) Professor Wilkins spent a lot of time discussing political/philosophical topics in English (keep in mind this is a SPANISH CONVERSATION class). He assigned lengthy readings that were hard to understand even in English because of vocabulary and complex concepts. He cared more about teaching us ethical or political lessons than Spanish.

taught us more about ethical or political lessons than Spanish, and my Spanish proficiency this semester decreased considerably. Very little to no work until the very end where there are many assignments that almost seem to come out of nowhere.

Rex was pretty chill, but lazy when it came to grading. He made class lively and fun enough.

Professor Wilkins is a lot of fun to have as a professor, genuinely cares about his students, and is good at keeping students' attention during class. While he does use a lot of political and philosophical topics for class discussions, he is good at providing thought-provoking material/questions for conversation, which is important for this class.

He's super fun and into teaching, but the number of assignments seems irrational. Attendance is not mandatory but you should go a few times just for fun. Had a solid A until the final so do VHL but pretty easy overall.

This was my first Spanish classes ever taken here at the UofA. Rex Wilkins was one of my favorite teachers I had this semester. He made learning Spanish so much fun. I felt like I really learned a lot in his class and my Spanish has improved a lot because of him. This instructor cares about his students and is passionate about Spanish. (100/100 )

Somehow more of a social justice class where many conversations about heavy political topics took place in English. I lost Spanish proficiency during this semester. Topics discussed, reading materials, and movies were very often heavy, and I frequently felt emotionally weighed down after class (plus I hadn't learned or improved my Spanish at all).

I took a 7 seven week Spanish 101 course and truly great because of him and I got an A
