I had Wilcox for Comp 1 and 2 my freshman year. He's a great teacher and he really cares about your success outside of class. His assignments aren't your traditional research papers, they're different and fun! We got to make up our own conspiracy theory and write an essay using just pictures. I recommend him to every student, just don't slack off.

I took Dr. Wilcox for Into to Lit my first year & I would advise him to anyone! He is very outgoing and hilarious-which makes his lectures much more fun! I will say though that during his lectures I have NO idea what is going on just cause I don't know much of the information. You only have a midterm & final and he gives non-mandatory review days.

I thought Wilcox was cool. He did a good job in lectures and was always was available outside of class. Tough grader, though.

Dr. Wilcox is an amazing teacher, he was chill and extremely respectful. You do read lot in this class so don't forget to read the online assignments he post. He also gives great feedback and makes lectures enjoyable. Attendance is graded but he will excuse you if your have a explanation for missing. In addition, exams and quizzes are really easy.

He is a great guy but terrible professor. I have him in Intro to Lit and never know what will be on the test (practically your only grade). He stands at the front and lectures all class. If he does write something down, it is illegible. Take anyone BUT Wilcox if you want to enjoy class.

If youre in Intro to Lit, hes easygoing. (Comp, different story). In Lit, theres a few pop quizzes and a midterm and final. He is very obvious about whats going to be on both, so if you show up and pay half attention, youll be fine. Also hes one of the Lit teachers who only require 1/4 of the huge Lit books, so thats a bonus!

He is the worst teacher I've ever had. I will absolutely NOT take him again. If you miss class 3+ times he fails you. If you are even 1 second late he locks the door so you can't get in. He's a very tough grader and we only wrote 2 papers which hurt my grade tremendously because he didn't enter them until finals week. I wish I would have dropped

Horrible at entering grades, kept blaming it on the computer. He is still entering grades and the final is tomorrow. Is very easy to get off topic and ranted about politics for most of the class. Grades hard even though he did not give us any feedback on our writing until after the fact. Avoid at all costs!

Very unorganized and has an excuse for everything. Did not enter grades until the last week of class, and still had nothing graded. Will treat you different if he finds out that you don't have the same beliefs as he does. Constantly off topic and would rather have discussions about his home life and random things that he likes to do.

Kenton is perhaps the worst teacher Northwest has to offer. As a student who loves writing, Kenton made me hate it. He is VERY disrespectful and has no regard for anyone but himself. We wrote two papers throughout the entire class, which might sound good, but when the papers are worth 100pt. each and he is a ridiculously tough grader. AVOID!!!!!

Be aware of projects provided by him. If you are late, he gives chance but with more criteria.

Wilcox is a great teacher and his class seemed to be easier than other teacher's classes. He is great at teaching and will always help if you ask for it. Make sure you are ready to laugh when you walk in because he is always making jokes.

Kenton strays off topic in the middle of lectures and with rant about something for the whole class. He isn't clear on what the assignments are supposed to be and grades harshly. If you want feedback on why you bombed the paper, good luck. His hand writing is illegible.

Wilcox was very disrespectful and not open to hearing others' point of view. He was not helpful during or outside of class at all. He was constantly off topic and would tell stories about himself that had nothing to do with class. He's a very tough grader, his tests are hard, and he gives very little feedback. Avoid him if you can!

He is literally the worst teacher i've ever had in my life. If you have your computer make sure you don't have anything up but a word document. I had something set up for class that i needed to screen shot in another browser and he kicked me out because of it. And told me I was stupid and he didn't want to hear my explanation as to why it was up.

I took Wilcox for Comp I. and he has never answered any of my emails regarding homework or classwork. Also, in his syllabus, he says that he will kick out people who are constantly on their phones, and kicked me out for having social media in my browser, yet lets a kid play fruit ninja on his phone ever day in class. Very rude, and never respectful

This is an actual college class, and if you still think you're in high school, I would suggest waiting to take his class. He has high expectations for his students, and he also loves to give pop quizzes. He is definitely my favorite teacher even though he is tough. He doesn't have a filter, so grow up and quit being a bunch of babies. He is great.

Comment:

Intro to Lit with Wilcox is pretty easy if you stay on top of things, and go to class. He is very helpful as long as you show genuine effort and actually ask him. Very liberal, and vocal about it. Openly gay, and proud of it. Is actually pretty funny. class is always easy to pay attention in and relatively fun.. and I hate English classes...
