She reads off the textbook without understanding any of it. When asked to explain something, she will tell you to go read about it... Little knowledge of the material, and always does her best to make students feel like they know nothing. Avoid her pleaseMATH2321 2026-07-03 18:02:12 +0000 UTC
Really really hard. Blames AI for why students weren't passing exams. Unless you are very naturally good at math - like a savant - do not take her. I wish I could go back in time and take a different class.MATH2341 2026-06-25 20:46:37 +0000 UTC
Prof. Wilson's exams (especially the final) are fair, however she is very picky with grading and even if you get the correct answer if you don't have the work that she wants, you don't get credit. This is how I lost many points on her exams despite knowing the information well. I did learn a lot by asking her questions after class.MATH1341 2026-04-28 18:04:59 +0000 UTC
What do you want other students to know about this professor?fuckprofwilson 2026-03-12 01:37:17 +0000 UTC
This is genuinely the only review I've written but I needed to come and say: DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. She is terrible. She messed up my make-up final (I had a time conflict), making me lose 20 minutes of time. She doesn't explain anything and expects you to simply connect the dots by yourself. Thinks her class is the most important thing ever.MATH1342 2025-11-19 07:16:52 +0000 UTC
Rushes through all lectures and gives weekly quizzes. Mandatory graded homework. Strict grader of all quizzes and tests. Horrible at teaching, you are better off self studying. Bad attitude as well and will berate students in person and over email. Avoid at all costs1342MATH 2025-03-31 13:38:03 +0000 UTC
Avoid at all cost. Homework questions are nothing like test questions, lectures do not prepare you adequately for tests and quizzes. Inadequate resources for quizzes and tests provided.MATH3081 2024-10-24 20:51:20 +0000 UTC
Get ready to learn off lecture notes & videos. Lectures are boring & bad. Terrible prof who doesn't care about students at all. Don't know why this person is a professor, stay a researcher if you can't teach or care for students, choose a different field. Sometimes brings attitude to students. On top of all that, tough grader for such mid lectures.MATH1260 2024-05-18 17:41:16 +0000 UTC
Avoid if possible. Homework didn't match the quizzes and exams, and the grading was extremely harsh. Multiple students ended up emailing the head of the Math Department about the course, and the department had to get involved.MATH2321 2026-06-16 15:52:06 +0000 UTC
Just spits out textbook definitions on the board, then does examples where she skips steps. Very hard to follow and understand in class, especially since her handwriting sucks. If you ask a question or clarification, she will belittle you. Quizzes are nothing like the hw or examples and she truly does not care about helping you succeed.MATH2341 2025-12-19 19:30:38 +0000 UTC
Im here to defend her, shes just a silly middle aged woman. if uve taken calc before this class will be chill but do not take her class if uve never seen derivitives in ur life, she will make ur calc experience very unfortunate. but if u do the hw and go up to the board for extra credit its fairly easy to get a good grade.MATH1341 2025-12-31 16:46:14 +0000 UTC
I cannot emphasize enough that you should avoid taking this course with this professor. Transfer to a different professor if you value your GPA/grade in this class at all. I got a B in this class while being well above average on all of the exams. Based on the exams the average grade in the class was a 74-75. No scale or curve on anything. AVOID.MATH1342 2025-05-06 04:02:18 +0000 UTC
Her explanations are not very clear and keeps beating around the bush, which exhibit her lack of proper knowledge of the subject she's teachings. All she does is write on the board from the notes that she carries. Very rarely answers question of students properly. Students generally depend on learning from the text book. Very confusing lectures.1342MATH 2018-08-25 01:53:47 +0000 UTC
Dr. Wilson is very knowledgeable. Lectures and class expectations are clear, but she is inaccessible outside of class and unreceptive to student feedback. I struggled in this class because the exams were significantly harder than homework & lecture examples, students were expected to fend for themselves. I would not recommend taking her class.MATH3081 2023-12-18 17:36:00 +0000 UTC
Great first impression when she showed up late to the first day and immediately started speed writing on the board (as she does every lecture, copying from old repeated lecture notes). Pay full attention as she's superspeeding or you'll miss the concept. Sometimes moody and rude. Lucky she has a YouTube of her old Zoom meetings so u can self studyMATH1260 2024-04-12 17:20:50 +0000 UTC
