Comment:
He is not the best professor for Phil 120. It is really hard to get an A in the class as there are only three assignments. All of the assignments are in essay format. He is the worst professor. Goes off topic and his assignments are not clear. Really hard to pay attention in his class. I would not recommend him for Phil 120.

There are 3 exams, each worth a third of the grade. The first exam has terms and some problems. Only proofs and problems on the other exams. Just do all the problems in the book and understand how to prove it then you'll get an A.

He's a nice professor & very smart & intelligent. Although I find the class boring because I'm not interested in Philosophy, he's a great teacher. He's pretty funny & approacheable too. No tests, just essays! He's an easy grader & always there to offer his opinion.

super super easy class, easy A. The professor rambles about nothing and i often want to fall asleep. Even if you skip class you can still get an A b/c he puts practice tests online. You will either find his sense of humor super lame or laugh with him, he's a nice guy though.

Comment:
Wilson is a great professor. He doesn't teach you the class, rather he makes you think for yourself. This class is more useful in learning how to formulate your own opinions rather than learning history of philosophy. Exams are posted online, no homework, one essay, and attendance isn't mandatory. Don't ask stupid questions. Easy A!

Class is boring but attendance is mandatory. He doesn't take attendance but he knows when you are absent. He posts practice quizzes online. if you memorize those they are the exact questions on the exams. Theres no reason you can't get an A if u go to class &look at quizzes. He doesn't tolerate ignorant questions from people who dont go to class.

Professor Wilson is a great teacher. He loves philosophy and is very passionate about it. Attend classes, take notes and do quizzes he uploads on the BB and you should be perfectly fine. You don't need any textbooks for this class he provides everything.

Wilson is AWESOME! He enters the classroom and moves around, talks to the students, like Russell Crowe in Gladitor, he introduces ideas of great philosophers clearly with precision and an EXCELLENT use of examples from real ife. He reminds me of a white Sidney Poitier in To Sir With Love. Mostly importantly he urges us to think for ourselves.

Easy class, all the quizzes are online and he uses the same questions on the test, with the exception of a "chart", which is a list of words to memorize. The lectures are horrible to sit through and terribly dull. He goes on rants about things for absolutely no reason. I could not tell you anything that he has said in lecture not written on board

Took Wilson's Business Ethics course over the winter, highly recommend it. Also had him for Phil346 logic class. Awesome philosophy teacher and is very helpful when u go to him. Don't be late to class! It is evident he brings years of experience and knowledge to lectures which is what students want

Prof. Wilson is awesome! He gets off topic sometimes and the class material is somewhat boring but he tries to make it as fun as he can. Plus, he posts the exam questions online so it's super easy.

Very interesting material. Prof. Wilson is a little scatterbrained and sometimes difficult to follow in lecture. This is mainly an example-based class.

Don't forget your phone or laptop when you go to class... otherwise prepare to be bored. He's a great guy and very interesting, he just is very hard to understand at times because of all his tangents. Basically gives you all the exam questions but honestly if you just read you'll get A's on everything.

It's a month into the class and I don't know what I think about him. "Attendence is mandatory" but he doesn't talk about anything relevant. Scatterbrained and confusing.

Enthusiastic and loves the course material. Loves enthusiastic students and hates students who don't show up or miss the point. Assigned one individual paper and two group papers. He wanted "future ethical issues," and he tore apart the groups who did past ones. Just act enthusiastic and follow the rubrics, and you should get an easy A or B.

If you are looking to take this class, then look no further!!! this guy can teach, very nice, funny. Wants people to learn, enjoys teaching. Oh and get the book. You'll need a book to practice for the test because he doesn't provide practice exams. The problems in the book were much harder than the exam. therefore you will do well. put in effort!

Comment:
Professor Wilson definitely marches to the beat of his own drum. His is very passionate about philosophy and sincere but at times difficult to understand. His lectures tend to consist of many anecdotes and sidebars, which makes paying attention difficult. Follow his instructions (and exam keys!) for the 3 exams and one response paper for an easy A.
