Brother Wilcox is by far one of the most amazing men I have ever met. I walk out of his class and feel so motivated and inspired. I have learned so much from him about The Book of Mormon as feel as valuable note taking and pondering skills. He is my top recommendation for religion classes.

The man pulls out life experiences and his own ideas and teaches them like it's doctrine. Among BYU religion teachers, many of whom are guilty of that, he's among the worst. Makes you buy his book (unrelated to mission work) and quizzes you weekly to make sure you bought it. Quizzes are unreasonable. Not a hard class, but... frustrating.

Professor Wilcox is a good speaker but not a good professor. He teaches each class as though he's giving a motivational speech, then tests us on the things he said (most of which feel like his own opinion). He requires students to buy his book even though it had little to do with the course. His grading is unclear. Would not take again.

10/10 as a person. He is so genuine and loving and his lectures are incredible. However, his tests are heavily based on what he says in class. The questions will have multiple answers that are technically correct, but you have to go off of what he specifically said in class. That's kind of a struggle, but overall I love him.

Good speaker but terrible professor. His final was one of the most convoluted tests I have ever taken. Every answer was right, and it was up to you to decide which was "most right", according to Brad's own view of Mormonism. Grading was not always transparent, and he has some very suspect ideas that don't jive with doctrine.

Brad Wilcox has great lectures, but his tests are STUPID. All the options on his MC are correct, but it's his opinion that matters. Also, he sets an A at 95%, which is ridiculous. I ended up with a 94.8% in his class and he WOULDN'T ROUND. Don't take a class from him, he's a way better EFY speaker than professor

I'll echo the common thread that Brad is a fantastic person. I've never talked in class but he has said hi to me by name when he's seen me around campus, you can't talk to him without getting a hug, and his testimony is powerful. However, I do feel like I took an "life advice from Brad Wilcox" class rather than BOM... I'd say it was still positive.

Lectures are super interesting, but keep in mind that although this is "the Lord's School" what professors teach isnt necessarily doctrine. But super interesting stuff! I personally thought the tests were pretty straight forward, just take good notes and do the study guide.

He is very clear about the assignments, and they weren't very hard. However, sometimes I felt that it was "The Book of Mormon according to Brad Wilcox", he would aslo scream a lot and I felt he didn't really respect people of different faiths.

At times I felt uncomfortable in class. Some things he said and the way he said it I felt were insensitive and disrespectful. Also implied some things that were definitely not doctrine. On tests there are more than one right answer, but you had to guess which one he would like more. I did learn some new things and got an A because of extra credit.

I would go back in time and take this class from another professor, never taking a class from him again. He takes gospel principles and shifts them to fit his own point of view often in a disrespectful manner toward people who may have different beliefs. Tests were way too hard, each question had more than one answer. Very subjective. Not worth it.

Interesting and informative lectures, inspirational ideas, gospel knowledge a plus. Con: final exam was very subjective. That's excusable for other classes, but it is inappropriate IMO for a mission prep class to test you on another person's view of Christ's gospel vs the pure doctrine. Recommend you audit instead

Brad Wilcox is very smart, kind, and I really respect him! However, his teaching style didn't work for me personally. It sometimes felt like he was giving a lesson to EFY kids, not college students. I also thought his tests were pretty difficult, so just make sure you put in some solid studying time!

This man is QUIRKY. I expected a dignified apostle but was met with cringey humor and highly insensitive comments (often about his "evil autistic grandson").

Professor Wilcox is consistently disrespectful and judgmental of others. He often mocks people of other religions and scoffs at people who doubt the gospel or aspects of the Church, using an offensive voice to do so. Controversial comments are a regular occurrence and include racist and sexist comments which make me very uncomfortable.

Brad Wilcox is truly a disrespectful and unkind person, and I do not know why he is so worshiped at BYU. He makes comments against people who are of different religions or who question the church using an insanely offensive voice. He disregards any opinion that isn't his own and is truly the opposite of being Christ-like. Don't support him.

I personally love taking classes by Brother Wilcox. He is super accommodating to give add codes for students looking to join the class after they are full. You can go to any of the class times. Each day at the end of the lecture, you are given the study guide answers to use on the test. Overall I have a great experience in this class!

I have loved taking religion from Brother Wilcox this semester. He always asks in class "who learned something new today?" He prepares meaningful lectures and truly wants to help students learn and come closer to Christ.

Genuinely the easiest religion class. He gives you a study guide at the very beginning of the class that has ALL of the test questions, and he gives you the exact answers. Study guides can be used on tests, and tests are all online. Very few assignments, all super easy. AND the lectures are amazing. 10/10, exactly what a religion class should be.

Brother Wilcox is awesome. I always learned something new in each lecture. You basically fill out a study guide after each lecture and then you can use it on the midterm and final. This was my second religion class with him and it was just as good and as easy the second time.

Brother Wilcox is absolutely amazing. I have never had a professor that is so kind, loving, and respectful. His lectures are entraining and you will learn something every class. If you skip class, you will fail. Love the guy, seriously the best. Every person at BYU needs to take a class from Brother Wilcox. Cannot speak highly enough of him.

Brother Wilcox's passion for The Book of Mormon and the gospel is unparalleled. I have met very few people who are as charismatic, personable, happy, and exemplary of Christ-like love as Brother Wilcox. Take a class from this man, you will NOT regret it. In-person attendance for lectures is mandatory, classes are really fun, great guy.

I cannot believe his ratings are not higher. He should definitely be a 5/5. Brother Wilcox is amazing and taught an amazing class. He literally gave us the answers to the midterm and final in class. Also, there was no homework and no projects, which was awesome. His class was super easy and very fun. I really enjoyed his lectures. Take him!

It's Brad Wilcox and he's easy why not take it? Although, I will say he's the best teacher for strengthening testimonies, there's probably better teachers for you if you are struggling with your faith. But either way he's got a great heart and I love the man!

There will be a lot of hate in these reviews, but the truth is hard to hear sometimes. Brother Wilcox was an incredible teacher and truly cared about each student and helping them understand God better. I felt so loved and respected and learned more about my identity as a daughter of God through the scriptures. He loves questions and is merciful.

Brother Wilcox is the best religion professor at BYU. Lectures are hilarious, engaging, spiritual, and doctrine based. The way all religion classes should be - more concerned about your welfare and testimony than homework. Midterm and final answers are given at the end of each class so you should get 100% each time. Really easy, would take again.

1- Don't buy the books. He says books are required. He just wants you to buy his book to make money off you, but you never actually use them. 2- class is easy but he does talk badly about non-mormons kind of relentlessly. Great class for an easy A, would not recommend if you are looking for uplifting content or canon doctrine.

TAKE THIS CLASS! Professor Wilcox truly blesses the life of everyone in his lectures. He is more focused on growing your testimony and faith. His love for his students and the gospel is evident. You will learn gospel doctrine and grow your faith. It's also very easy and he gives out the midterm and final answers after every class.

I really appreciated the easy class which allowed me to focus more on learning.... but many times it was hard to listen. I've struggle with depression for years and avoiding suicidal thoughts can be a daily challenge. He proceeded to tell us that suicide is selfish. He says a lot of controversial things and seems to have lots of judgements.

Obviously, Bro. Wilcox is amazing as everyone knows. He is so funny, and teaches in such a special way, that I walked away learning something new, every. class. This class was easy, if you follow the study guide, go to class, and are honest in your readings and study journal. You just have to care enough to go, and you will do well. One of my favs.

I could not express the love that radiates out of his classroom. This was one of the easiest and most inspiring religion classes I have ever taken. He is very knowledgeable about the Bible and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The assignments and tests are so easy, never had to worry about this class for a second!

He teaches the way I think religion classes should be taught. Inspirational lectures with a test study guide we fill out at the end of class. He gives you the answers for the test at the end of every class. If you go to class you will easily pass the class. If you skip class, you doom yourself with the free test answers although ask him for grace.

This was pretty easy class. He gave us the exam answers in the study guides and the few assignments were simple and the reading was just the gospels. I absolutely love his conference talks but I didn't enjoy his teaching style. He's a super nice guy but he had some teachings I didn't agree with. I would recommend him more for returned missionaries.
