Milo is fun and engaging. He goes quick through slides and gets through 50-70 per class. There are 2 group projects. Exams are all paper, utilize the worksheets. You need to attend lecture. Difficult class and easy to fall behind. I really enjoyed the class and learned a lot, only downside is it takes like a month to get our exam scores back.

If I manage to pass this class, I will be genuinely shocked. People were CRYING during his final exam. If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about this class, I don't know what will.

Milo has the idea that what he is saying makes sense, but in reality his lectures can be quite misleading and has room for lots of misinterpretation. Milo often gives little to no explanation when asked to explain further, but instead will scoff or laugh at any questions asked. Doesn't respond to emails well/confusing explanations.

I absolutely loved this class! Milo can be tough to learn from at the beginning, but as you get into material, it's easier to make connections. Super passionate about info and always willing to work through concepts one-on-one. Exams can be challenging, but follow class worksheets closely and you'll be successful. Don't rely on PPT memorization.

Milo is very excited to teach about what he knows, but he is almost too smart to be teaching. The course is VERY lecture heavy with ~80 slides per 50 min class (he almost never gets through them). The material was interesting but hard to follow as he does not seem to have a very streamlined teaching process.

If he wasnt talking about the times that he did experiments on live animals, he was fine. Tests based exactly off of the worksheets so memorize those. Email with questions and he gets back to you quickly and throughly.

Talks about animal abuse without warning in lecture, slides don't make sense, will try to cram 70 hefty slides into a 55 minute lecture, can't teach in a way that makes sense, and worksheets we have to do in class don't usually align well with the slides presented. no answer keys or office hours. Had him for Zoo151 as well and it was the same deal.

Professor went through the material very fast and it was hard to understand what was important/what wasn't.

He's a nice guy but shouldn't be lecturing Bio151. Crammed too many words onto slides and slides into a lecture. Would talk fast and glaze over complicated topics quickly. Random confusing diagrams on slides. The best method of learning ended up being taking notes on the slides beforehand then just listening to the lecture and trying to follow.

Dr. Wiltbank is a very kind professor and knows what he's talking about. The issue is that he talks about certain topics with great specificity and provides very limited context which leaves it to the student to connect the dots. His slides are extremely difficult to read too. Overall, a nice and intelligent guy but not a good teacher.

I have mixed feelings about Milo. On one hand he was a really sincere and actually pretty funny guy who knows his stuff really well. The issue is that hed often go through certain things like we already knew the basics of what were learning. Never immediately left lecture feeling like I understood most of what hed said. Gotta learn a lot outside.

Dr. Wiltbank is a great professor. His class is very hard and fast paced, but if you prepare for lecture you can learn so much about animal physiology in very little time.

He is one of the nicest professors I have had so far. However, he is not great at teaching an intro level biology class. He has gone over way too much information for just one third of a semester, and although he tries to improve his teaching after some feedback, the information is just too much for an intro class.

Milo is very nice, but since he hasn't taught in a while (supposedly), he wasn't very effective for Intro Bio - lots of unnecessary slides, some ambiguity over what we had to know for the exam, and lack of clarity on some topics. He improved after TAs relayed him suggestions, which was nice. He did seem to want to improve/adapt to students' needs

This Professor is someone who has no idea how to teach undergraduate students. He goes through way too much information and makes us all feel stupid when we don't understand something.

Wiltbank is truly one of the worst professors I've had so far. Each lecture has around 50 slides (or more), which are filled with unnecessary diagrams that he doesn't even go in depth about. He should not be teaching a biology introductory course.

He covers way too many things in lecture compared to the other professors that have taught this class. He really makes sure you have clue what's going on by constantly throwing math at you that we for some reason just have to know in an intro bio course.

Way too much information, crammed in way too little time. Glosses over an overwhelming amount of information on lecture slides and thinks most students know what he's talking about when they really do not.

Literally has 62 slides to get through in 50 minutes this is supposed to be an intro level course and hes teaching as if its a 400 level course

Well the other reviews tell it all. Professor Gilroy did a phenomenal job with introductory bio 151, but as we have progressed to the physiology unit with Milo we have seen this class become far too difficult. At the end of the unit we will have gone over roughly 600 confusing slides. I have no hope for this final exam wish me luck.

The first two lecturers for BIO 151 were awesome. They were great lecturers, they explained everything in depth, and they provided decent lecture slides. Milo, on the other hand, flies through the hardest unit of the semester and packs his slides with so much content to the point where they aren't even helpful.

I'm taking Professor Milo for Bio151 right now which is an introductory course. The first two units were super enjoyable and easy to understand (with different professors. Then Professor Milo gets there and everything goes downhill. He puts about 500 words on a slide and spends 3 seconds explaining it before moving on. Super confusing lecturer

Professor Wiltbank seems like a nice dude and I feel bad but he teaches grad students. He made intro to bio so complicated and confusing and took 2 minutes to explain the anatomy of most structures during the anatomy and physiology unit. He makes things extremely confusing and just assumes we know all the basics which most of us don't

Don't take this class unless absolutely necessary. Homework due every class and two big group projects. Class is very unorganized and he throws a lot of information at you without clearly explaining it. He cares a lot and knows a lot about physiology, but doesn't put in enough time to prepare for the class.

He is very helpful, and great at what he does.
