Comment:
Tom is awesome. He has such knowledge of everything he's talking about and his lectures were logical and orderly. Lecture attendance is not mandatory unless for a quiz or test. Tutorial attendance matters a lot more. He also posts most, if not all supplementary material online. I found that he was so good that I did not need the textbook.

Comment:
Tom was wonderful, he let me swap into his course after the deadline and remained understanding with my struggles of balancing multiple language based courses at once. I did end up not continuing with Linguistics, however this was at no fault of his. Tom, if you are reading this, thank you for being patient with me throughout 2018-2019.

Professor Wilson is an absolute gem. Make sure you go to his office hours for clarifications about certain things you don't understand in class. Absolutely helpful and accessible to his students. He remembers his students' names and a really interesting guy. Would take again.

One of the sweetest profs I've ever had. He makes everything easy to understand and is really patient with his students. Super easy to approach and will help in any way he can. I still see him in the hallways and even though I don't have a class with him anymore, he always says hi. One of the best in my opinion!

In honesty, there are some lectures that are dry. However, he cracks jokes once in a while and engages with the class.

He's a great prof. He's funny and cares a lot for his students. Straightforward work/tests and just a genuine guy. Can't complain! Just make sure you try and do the homework and listen in class, take notes, etc. and you'll do well

Best professor I have ever had. Just enjoy the lectures, listen to him, participate, do the tutorial homework takes 5 minutes, the practice exercises given 10 minutes, and memorize the definitions. Very easy if you try to enjoy it. Prof helps you appreciate the beauty behind language in general. I love Linguistics thanks to this man.

Never have I fallen asleep in a class more but not his fault, it's the material. You need to learn it but it's just so dull sometimes and some people don't grasp it. Very straightforward so if you understand things in class, study well, etc, you can get an A or A+. It was a lot of studying for certain parts though.

Very caring prof and passionate abut helping students understand. It's a pretty dry subject matter but he never looses patience explaining things in different ways. Lots of inclass examples. Extremely organized for the students. Studied mainly from lecture slides & class notes. Tests and final project can be tricky - prepare for surprises!

Tom Wilson does a good job at teaching a sometimes extremely dry subject. He gives perfectly clear explanations with real-life examples and leaves nothing to question. If you need extra help, he is more than willing to assist you. For tests and exams he tells you EXACTLY what you need to know. Only downside? THE LECTURES CAN GET SO BORING.

He may come across as boring occasionally, but overall he is really good and clear. He always spends at least half the class reviewing the previous section so it's rooted before he continues. Uses lots of examples. Not too fast and not too slow.

The tests are very straightforward, he goes through in detail (sometimes a little too much) on what the tests are on. Very easygoing and posts all lecture notes online!

Greatapproachable prof. Highly recommend! One evening after class, we had just written a test & I asked him a Q to clarify. What happened next surprised me. After handing it in, he ran after me in the hallway LOL. He further explained the concept I asked him about. (And left the others unsupervised writing their test.) It was so kind of him!

Comment:
Useless especially for those progressing in the field of linguistics or pursuing a graduate degree in any linguistics program in the future. He literally doesn't teach anything, and recycles stuff from the time when he first taught the course, probably decades ago. Obviously, he hasn't read anything since then!
