Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
Very clearly passionate but lectures were NOT helpful, so reading the book was basically mandatory. Went on a lot of tangents about stuff that wasn't really relevant. Extremely accessible outside of class and exams weren't bad as long as you studied. Lots of homework but never any due dates on Canvas so it made it a little difficult to keep track

Dr. Wilkinson is a great professor! He's very flexible with the course schedule and is open to students' opinions/needs. He also makes himself easily available outside of class. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students and their learning of the material. I would 100% take this course if he is the professor!
