A very sweet man. Sure, he covers twelve semesters' worth of material in a single class. Sure, his tests are so ridiculous that 40/100 curves to a B. And sure, you'll be pulling all-nighters on a weekly basis in order to get any homework points at all. But he wants to help you, and he wants you to succeed-- so go to office hours and it'll be okay.

In this 1st-course on matrix algebra, Prof. Wilson refused to give any concrete examples or even draw an actual matrix with actual numbers. He came into every lecture without any notes and just recited proofs from his head. He spent much of office hours complaining about how close-minded students who don?t understand him are-not very helpful IMO.

Might not be the most exciting lecturer, but extremely helpful prof who really cares about his students.

Possibly the worst teacher I've ever had. Class notes are worthless, impossible to follow, and tests are an extremely poor representation of what we learned. No outside help available and lectures are a drag. Required class but I would put it off to avoid having him teach it.

Apparently, anyone can teach at a prestigious university today. Over complicates material which should not be too difficult. No one will score well on his scale. Lectures are useless; spends time bashing text (which he chose) or lulling us to sleep. Tests in no way resemble the assigned homework (or chapters which they're suppose to be over.)

A bit confusing and confrontational when questioned. Moves at an average pace all the time, not slowing down when students need help, not speeding up when they do not.
