Comment:
He has no idea what is going on most of the time. He has no idea how to work any of the technology he assigns things on. He made us take 4 online classes and never counted them because he didn't know how to see them. Does not tell you due dates, so you have to be on top of it, BUT the workload is easy so there isn't much to worry about. He is nice.

Comment:
Professor Wilson doesn't respond to emails, gives a lot of work although not difficult. He doesn't tell you about the assignments before they are due and is willing to give you a low grade because of it. He is unaware about how to use the technology that he is supposed to be in control of. He doesn't know the answers to your general questions.

Dr. Wilson is one of the best professors at Montclair State. He is really knowledgeable about his subject matter and really makes you think about his questions and your answers. Be sure to participate and build some sort of familiarity so he knows you and can help reach an answer. There are a few papers but lots of extra credit. He's epic.

Comment:
I'm still in Prof Wilson's class right now for History of Black Americans (217). The most important thing is to actually read the textbook because tests or quizzes (depends on what your class decides) will be mostly from the text book and not class discussions. Not an easy A, but definitely worth taking. Hes a great professor.

A lot of papers but mas class really interesting. HIST100 is a class no one wants to take and no one wants to teach, but Wilson definitely makes it enjoyable.

Professor Wilson truly is an awesome professor. If you want to do the work, he gives you every opportunity to get an A. The class is mostly discussion based and requires a significant amount of reading. The readings are from reputable sources and any supplemental material keeps to (mostly) moderate viewpoints. Simply put,the info is easy to digest.

Professor Wilson is the best. His classes are extremely interesting. He is very knowledgeable of US history and Urban history. Take him if you want to look at the world from a different perspective.

Dr Wilson is easy going. However the key to passing is to read the textbook. His lectures are interesting but not much help when it comes to exams. He offers alot of extra credit so if you fail you really didnt try.

He's amazing. He didn't just teach history, he taught us how to think and analyze things critically. Since the coursework isn't overly demanding I was able to enjoy the class more instead of constantly worrying about grades. He gives out a lot of extra credit, if you get anything lower than a B in this class then you obviously put in no effort.

Often went on a tangent in class although it was still very interesting to hear his opinions on various things. The textbook is definitely your way of passing this class. Not a big fan of his teaching style although others may like it. He gives a lot of extra credit and the grading criteria is very clear. Fairly easy class and optional attendance.

Comment:
His teaching style is mediocre at best. He often goes off on a tangent in class which usually have nothing to do with the upcoming assignments. Youre better off just reading the textbook than going into class. The formula for passing this class is to just recite everything he says and not include your own opinion since it will always be wrong.

Great class, he gives you numerous amounts of extra credits to do. I failed the first exam terribly but still received a good grade since I did all of the extra credits. They are simple and quick to do too. Def take him!!!

Wilson is a great guy but his papers lack a clear prompt that's hard to follow. That being said he does allow you to revise and resubmit to earn a higher grade.

Dr. Wilson really is a great professor, its been years since I have graduated and I still remember him being one of the most informative and educationally sound professors I have ever had. I would suggest him to any history or education majors around. Just talk about transportation systems, its his favorite subject.

Pretty easy grader, and even when he is tough, he usually gives you a chance to do some writing assignments over for a higher mark. My only complaint is that some of the assignments were a little confusing. There's a lot of reading, and the textbook is a must. Also, be advised: He has very soft due dates, but don't let the assignments back up!

He takes a subject that is incredibly dry and required for history majors and turns it into an opportunity to teach how to think and write critically and to look below the surface of everything. He doesn't so much lecture as provoke lively class discussions. There is a lot of work, but he is very flexible with deadlines and gives helpful feedback.

He is actually the best professor that I've met so far. I would send him my essays from Writing class for him to help me edit it. He's amazing!
