Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
I really loved taking this class and always looked forward to it. lectures were interesting and not overwhelming and the weekly homework was straightforward. I really feel like I learned a lot and there were tons of chances for participation and discussion with peers. I would absolutely take his class again

Wilkins says more by saying less. We had great class discussions, he did a good job facilitating more people to participate when they didn't want to. I enjoyed the class topic. One thing is that I wish he'd assigned fewer readings, as we couldn't fully talk about each reading each class and so I (and others) stopped doing all of them / as in depth

I will never be taking a class by this professor again. I had an A the entire time to them get a B because he takes so many points off for participating, even though he never specified what that meant, doesn't put the grade in until after the course is done. Lectures were uninspiring and very difficult to pay attention to.
