Comment:

Hes literally such an amazing professor. Such a well done class. Its an easy A if you already have good writing skills. If you generally get C & D Papers you WILL struggle in this class. Theres no tests except an end of year presentation. He makes you meet out of class though which is kinda whack but theres a lot of meeting times. Love him

J.W. is a really interesting professor who will make you think. Expect homework assingments every class, and to meet once a week on the weekends for a group discussion of the films you watched throughout the week. Classes are long but go by fast. Clips he shows are great, and he has a big sense of humor. You'll enjoy the discussions and learn alot.

JW is brilliant it's as simple as that. He knows what he's talking about and will ensure that by the end of the semester, you will too. I've never felt so engaged in a class and that my ideas were being thoroughly examined, digested and respected. He genuinely cares about his students and the material he is presenting. A must-take!

I wish he were more aware of modern diversity and the issues at hand. His sources are outdated and reflect a world view he has set in his mind. Needs to be more open to progressive thinking.

Read everything you are assigned to and write your quotes. write a couple of papers and a group project and a group project is all that you have to do.It might sound easy but it is very time consuming. You have to work for you grade. It was a great class as long as you take part in the class. Wish i could take the class again!

I took his Examining Dimensions of Cool class and can't wait to take more. My cousin told me take him after she saw him do a bullying workshop for her High School and thought he was everything but boring. He challenged us to think in ways no other professor has before. Those at PSU who missed experiencing Dr. Wiley missed so much.

It's funny reading people's (whiners)comments about J.W. Wiley. He is one of the most accessible profs you will ever meet, but he expects you to work. If you don't, then you will probably get graded for what you didn't do. Everyone in my circle of friends has taken many classes from him because in his classes you learn, alot.

Taking Romance, Love, Sex & Marriage now but also took Diversity w/ him. I admit he knows his material, but Ihad a reality ck earlier this sem. Not all he's cracked up to be, not as open minded as he preaches. USED to worship him... not anymore! A LOT of reading & papers, don't take the class unless REALLY interested! Great material, enlightening!!

AMAZING PROFESSOR! I think everyone who doubts his abilities are closed minded. He is willing to listen to ANYTHING you have to say regardless of your race religion or sex. He opens your mind and makes you challenge your beliefs and if you can't do that then yes I can understand you misinterpreting him, but you've got it all wrong. JW is GREAT!!!

wow... this class is rediculous... homework everyday and if you dont do it, you will fail. do not take this class if you dont like to speak up in class.. you have a huge project due at the end of class and you have to do it infront of 200 people...so if that scares you, id suggest you taking another class

This isn't an easy course but it's enlightening to the extreme. Participation is thoroughly encouraged. I enjoyed the back & forth debating & discussing. JW is a brilliant man. There is a lot of work to the class but not overwhelming and it's def worth it! I've learned soo much, I am forever changed bc of this course & plan to take another w/ him.

Hes funny, smart, and will go to the limit for his students. I was a bit intimidated by him in class at times but at the end of the semester he took me aside and thanked me for one of the best papers he has ever read in that class. Coming from him that was an honor and I was grateful to him and the class. I just wish there are more like him at PSU!

Comment:

Definately not worth the hype. This class is interesting I guess if you have never thought about diversity before...ever. It was nothing I haven't realized or heard before. It's nearly impossible to go against his opinion in class without him making you seem like a bigot. Just tell him what he wants to hear and don't think into it too much.

You will learn a lot about yourself. You will learn a lot about your classmates. READ. Let me say it again, READ. If you don't read you will loose everything this class tries to instill in people.

I have taken 3 classes with him and I wish that more would fit in my schedule. He is an EXTREMELY busy man but always makes time for you. If you participate and keep up on the readings, you will have no problem getting an A. I got along really well with him, but I could see how some people might not like him.

If you want to learn the subject matter and about yourself, this is the guy to take. He will challenge you! I have taken multiple courses from him and he is going to put work on you. It isn't real taxing, just enough to guarantee you do the work. Whiners and Haters criticize him, but serious students take him and the ones I know love him!

I had been hearing about how entertaining his classes were and how much I would learn taking the class, but my expectations were exceeded. He is cool, funny, passionate, and sexy. Now I know why so many students follow him from one class to another.
