I took several classes with him and found him to be very nice and helpful. If you dont understand something he will always help you if you ask. Plan on doing work but you can earn a good grade if you try.

Excellent professor, very clear and organized. Does not let his personal feelings come into the educational environment like Dr. Morales. I would recommend taking this professor anytime possible.

Good professor, knows his stuff. You must do work but fair. strong accent,but very helpful and funny. class is interesting!

Not very hard and pretty interesting class.

Great guy and nice, easy going environment. VERY lenient in his grading and his tests were multiple choice. Knows what he's talking about.

Great professor, pretty attractive as well. class is very interesting. tests are simple if you READ the book. take him if you have the chance!

great professor. very helpful if you need it but you have to take time out to read every chapter and take good notes. mult. choice tests.

Teacher who really cares about his students. Responds quickly to questions. Interesting class,good amount of work. He is easy grading modules but papers he is fairly tough on. Overall good professor, would take again, don't bother disputing your grade

Great teacher! Enjoyed his lectures and his tests. If you read the text and take notes you will pass. The only thing that I didnt like was how he graded participation. I got A's on all the tests and a 3/10 for participation and I wound up with a B.

Great teacher who cares about his students. Awlays willing to take time out of his day to help.

Great prof., made comparitive politics interesting, though it was over the internet. Make sure you take the time to research the final paper thouroughly, he grades it like its the holy grail. Modules were easy, informative, and comprehensive. Take him, hes a great teacher.

Doing the modules was very easy, gave a lot of time to get work done. Paper at the end is up to you and very easy to put together. Very interesting class.

This guy is funny and a great teacher. I have had him three times and still enrolling in his class. You will learn a lot and still have fun in his class.

British government class is the best I've taken at UCF. he is really hot.

He is really funny and really hot!!!! also he is very smart!

This limey isn't that great, easy class and all but he's very rude and will grade you on being a democrat or republican. And he needs to realize SCOTLAND IS NOT A COUNTRY.

This teacher is very informative and down to earth. He not only teaches but participates in conversations, He doesn't just give a stream of information. Very smart and classy guy who gives a damn about his students...and his accent is great too!

Such a good professor! Although it wasn't easy, I learned so much in this class. Great material for the course. I will definitely take this professor again. Highly recommended!

Excellent class and I learned alot for a WWW class at that. Read the book before you take the quizes and you will do fine. Also post before you need too.

Wonderful professor! Class is not mandatory however there is an attendance grade so I would suggest going. His classes are interactive if you chose. Lots of online assignments that pad your grade and the tests are not bad. Best of all no major papers. I would 100% take him again

excellent!!!

Great teacher! Take online and it will be pretty easy. Class based on a few 500 word essays, class discussions and open book quizzes. Gives bonus points and is easily accessable.

very droll in a very British sense

Brilliant guy, I just love his classes!!!!

Professor Wilson is a great professor. He makes class meetings interesting and enjoyable. He tends to ramble sometimes, but his notes are all powerpoint slides and he posts them on WebCourses. You need to read the book, but it is a good book and really easy to read! He also always responds to questions. Take him in-person if you can, he's great!

Canadian Studies was an awesome class. Although online, Wilson created assignments that really threw the material at you in a manner students easily retained new information. It was a pleasure taking this course. Keep up with the work, and don't put off the twenty page research paper he gives you all semester to do till the last minute!

very professional

Took online and thought he did a great job. One of the best I've had @ UCF. Not an easy class but very interesting and thought provoking which is not an easy task for online material. I would def. recommend taking him if you want to learn!

Very clear and professional professor. Going to class is not mandatory but it helps a ton. Make sure you absolutely positively read the chapters, trust me just do it. Other than that it is not that difficult, you will learn a lot.

Dr. Wilson is a helpful teacher outside of the classroom, which I value. As far as his lectures are concerned he's a bit all over the place, so he is sometimes hard to follow. But, if you do the reading and attend class there's no reason why you shouldn't get an A. He's from Scotland so his accent is fun, too :)

I took this class online and it was very easy-as long as you do all the work you're supposed to do. His class is composed of eight modules, one of which he drops. No final.

Very easy online class, doesn't strictly enforce discussion dates, as long as you get them in before the due date for the last few discussions. No final, one midterm discussion, and 8 modules, the lowest one is dropped. No time limit on the online quizzes, so looking up the related info in the book is easy. Highly recommended.

A good class to take online. Dr. Wilson is very helpful and quick to respond. You take quizzes on the chapters in the book, and have discussions that relate to the topics covered. Some essays are required for certain modules but they are only 550 wrd cnt. Just make sure you do the essays early so you have time to attach it in webcourses.

Took Latin American Poli. online in summer.Tough,but worth taking.Not an online class to be taken passively-must stay on top of different due dates.Combo of online posts,quizzes,papers.He is very interested in running a quality class and will give feedback on work.Not "easy" but manageable.I learned a lot and I recommend.

Good online class. Everything is clearly stated and Prof Wilson is very helpful and responds quickly to emails. Definitely recommend.

excellent!

There are 7 modules, that are worth 66% of your grade, he drops the lowest module. A final which is a research paper worth 33%. 1% is an introduction module to the class. Demands alot of time. But you wil learn alot! Super quick responses.

Took Latin American studies, class had 7 modules each about 2 weeks long. Teacher e-mails back very quickly and make the assignment easy to understand. A few papers are required but they are not to hard just do your reading. Would take teacher again if anything is offered online!

I took this class online, really easy he takes the questions on the quizzes right from the book so make sure you read the chapters. it's really an easy class.

Super easy A. 8 modules which each consist of 2 quizzes for 1-2 chapters and a discussion post. The quizzes are about 10-20 questions straight from the book with no time limit. The discussion posts are opinion based and have to provide evidence from the book. Approx. every 2 weeks a 550 word essay is assigned. Your lowest module is dropped.

Great Prof. Took this class online, there were weekly discussions and quizzes, as well as several essays and tests. Quizzes and tests are multiple choice and very straightforward if you read the book, final had some long answer questions. Discussions are very interesting and fairly easy, as are essays. Be sure you have enough sources and cite APA.

Great online class. Very clear and Dr. Wilson is very helpful. Responds quickly to emails. Highly recommend.

Excellent teacher, very helpful. Onine class is not hard. take him

Great online class. Handled some difficult material, and was very dry at times, but it was interesting nonetheless. Dr. Wilson is extremely helpful and does his best to reply to questions or comments promptly. I highly recommend him if you are taking an online CPO or other political science class he is instructing.

Best professor I've ever encountered. Knows his stuff and super helpful. Easy to communicate and cares about student success. TAKE HIM

Great online professor. Expect to put in some time for quizzes and discussions. Quizzes are not timed. 3,500-4,000 word research paper due at end of term.

I took this class online and it was very easy! I am not into government at all and only took it online so that I wouldn't have to sit through an AmGov class. There are 8 modules, and the lowest gets dropped- modules consist of no time limit quizzes, discussion posts and maybe a paper. If you need this credit, take this class online!!

Took online. He is very organized and clear with assignments and responds to questions in a timely manner. Class isn't an easy A by any means, you need to DO and put EFFORT into your work, if you do that you should be fine. 6 modules, lowest is dropped. And a 3500 word essay due as your final. I got an A.

Even with a 500 seat online class, he was the quickest-responding professor I've ever had. No time limit on quizzes. No trick questions. Provides links for citations and research on 4 550-650 essays. Objectivity improves your grade.

Took his online class SUPER EASY! Quizzes on each chapter, questions STRAIGHT from the book, no time limit on each quiz :D very easy to score an A. discussions, quizzes, and a few essays. put in about 30min a week for this class, SUPER EASY. TAKE IT ONLINE :D

Great course, learned the fundamentals of American Government without the nonsense. While work is somewhat repetitive it isn't very time consuming. Quizzes and Small Papers make up the course no final. Easy A is you do the work on time and own and utilize the book. Recommend online for sure, free up time in your schedule!

Take this class online, it clears up your schedule and is pretty simple. The professor is very nice and you get 8 modules and two weeks to do each, the lowest one is dropped. TAKE ONLINE! :)

I took this class online and it was the best decision! Every two weeks you get a new module which consists of quizzes, discussion posts, and sometimes an essay. I would recommended this class. it is easy and you learn a lot. Professor Wilson always responds to emails and will help you if needed.

Such n easy, great, informing class, although your classmates might have a bias towards one party in discussions. Easy A if the time is put it, honestly about an hour a week. Thought is required, but it isn't a hard course. I'm selling the book cheap on knightswap.com for $10, and the book is necessary!

Lots of reading, pretty easy IF you like to read, 1000 word essays. Discussions very important and can be very interesting. Prof is very understandable but can't say the same for the GTA's. Watch out for your grade with the GTA's but overall fun class.

Class was more time consuming than i would have liked. nonetheless it was an easy A. Keep up with asssignements and you'll be fine. the online quizzes are easy and essays graded very fairly

The class wasn't too bad at all. A lot of essay's, and some quizzes from the text book. Other then that not much else. Be aware his GTA's are very picky with their grading. But other then that it wasn't a bad class at all.

Online class easy but excessively time consuming. You will end up reading every chapter of the text. 600 word essay biweekly with a 1000 word final. I echo the above about the GTAs. They do all the essay grades, are picky and get offended when you ask about a specific deduction. No input from the prof when subjective grades from GTAs are questioned

The class requires you to keep up with deadlines. The prof is great: responds to emails and very helpful. However, as others have said the GTA's can be a problem. I had a high A, but GTA failed me on my final essay causing me a letter grade in the course. Prof is great though and learned a lot.

good professor teaches this class with 300+ students, but makes it seem like that there are only 11 other students in the class (he uses small discussion groups). Teaches writing as well as substance; lots to learn!

Overall straight forward and interesting class. I had issues with GA. I had a high A average in the class and on final essay was given F by GA. This surprised me as all other papers earned high grades. Good class overall!

I learned a lot and the professor is nice but the TA's (tough) can make you frustrated since they grade all of your essays including your final. On top of that they take weeks to grade your past essays so you don't know what to change for your next essay until it's due. Make sure to follow ALL of your essay instructions if you take this course.

Easy to get an A if you keep up with the online modules and turn in discussions early! Quizzes are easy if you read the textbook. Textbook was mandatory for everything. Definitely learned more about research in this class. Overall it wasn't to bad online.

This was sic can easy class as long as you are a good writer! Very interesting and such an easy class just follow the guidelines. He gives you points to include in the essay and the TA who graded my work was always consistent and have good feedback! Really great professor and really easy fun class

This class requires a good bit of time for each assignment but I did just about everything the day it was due and have a solid A. This class requires effort but is completely do-able. Know how to write and manage time for each assignments and you'll be good. Quizzes are straight from the book. Easy A if you try, & and easy B if you slack sometimes.

Assignments were well laid out. Theres quiz for each chapter, 10 questions, but no time limit-- a huge plus. There were 8 modules, which were assorted combinations of discussion topics, short essays, etc. I didnt have to put a big amount of effort into this course at all and I got an A. A handful of essays in total, no big deal tbh! I recommend it

pretty easy class. consists of a few 650 word essays (rlly clear instructions on it), discussion postings, & a pop quiz for every chapter with unlimited time. The GTAs grade REALLY EASILY I don't know why everyone thinks otherwise. I've had all As & I did the work the day it was due.

I was graded by a GTA (A. Norat) all year, and his constructive feedback enhanced my essay and discussion grades. You need to review the feedback and implement it to succeeed. Dr. Wilson is always available, and makes things refreshing with external essays and videos. He is very knowledgable. This class made me realize how much I love Politics.

I liked this class a lot. I took it online while in DC for the summer so it made learning about the government even better. He only has you read the chapters and take the 10 question quizzes and do a simple 650 word paper every week. Sometimes the essays are replaced by discussions. Strict on works cited. Nice guy, too.

Easy A. Have a paper or some type of discussion every other week. Papers are only about 600 words so easily doable. Just pay attention to due dates so you don't miss anything, but he also will email reminders. He grades very fairly. Easy class to add to a difficult schedule!

He'll post reading material in the modules for each week, usually 2 or 3 journals from 10-15 pages each, not too bad. He posts interesting extra content as well that is relevant to the modules.

His class was fair and he was a fair instructor. Yeah, his TA's practically graded everything, but if you did what was asked then you got an A. I did not have a problem with this course, the final is not even mandatory. He also is one of the few teachers who knows a 90 is an A, and does not expect the world from you. He is reachable and is caring.

Tough but fair class. You will actually learn from taking his classes though.

I actually liked this class a lot, I learned a lot more than I thought I would because it is a subject I absolutely hate and find extremely boring. The professor was very understanding, whenever I had any questions he would answer politely and fast. The TA's could be tough graders, but over all you could just email them about your grade.

Dr. Wilson is so nice. His class is super easy with several essays and discussion posts spaced out throughout the semester. The textbook is FREE, which really helped me out with everything going on. Everything you need to do is laid out by module, so it's all really just keeping track of deadlines.

Dr. Wilsons class is definitely not an easy A class, however its not too difficult. The textbook was free which was great and he laid out the specific criteria he wanted to see in each assignment. I also liked how he emailed us about different articles and videos he found to be informational and interesting.

Not an easy A but a lot of short papers every week or so. A lot of research besides reading the book. Overall not too difficult but not an easy A. Took it online.

Must take this professor. This is my first term at UCF and he is amazing. His online class is not hard and I did not buy a book. offer extra credit and you can in late work but points will be taken off. You can replace your lowest grade with the optional final exam.

The class is tough but the professor gives good feedback and you learn a lot in the class. If you dont like writing take a different class. The entire class consists of reading the textbook and writing papers.
