This Teacher dose not know how to teach! He reads the book or lets the computer do it for him. When it comes to the test it is a completely different then what you study out of the book. I am a 3.6 student and got a B in PSY201. Then I get him and I get a none passing grade. He has ruined my GPA. Not a good teacher, skip him at all cost.

I am Very Frustrated with professor Wilson. He's absolutely awful. You have to write like 8 papers and as far as I know this is not an english class but it sure felt like it. His lectures are boring and he is the most unorganized person I have ever met! DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Hes quite lively with his lectures which is good, but thats frankly the only good part about taking this professor. Whenever you have to write a paper for him, he never gives it back so you don't know ever know what you did wrong. For some reason only accepts APA; so good luck if you never learned that format.

I have written 16 essays over 4 weeks and doing that on top of other classes and working is too much and he post them about 7-6 fays before they're due and when people complained he just said "welcome to college"

This class is probably the most difficult class I've ever taken. He assigns 12 page papers every week and then gives you less than a week to complete them. On top of the 12 page paper you have to do discussion boards weekly that are thought out and well in depth. Lectures are interesting but if you work a job while doing classes would not recommend

I wrote more papers in his class than I did in my English class. WAY TO MUCH HOMEWORK FOR AN A.S. DEGREE! Be prepared to write a 3 page essay every week. He will give you a few take home quizzes then suddenly have quizzes in class that are closed notes. He will give you a study guide that DOES NOT HELP WITH THE QUIZ OR THE ESSAYS. And discussions.

I took Dr. Wilson for Research and it completed ruined my drive to continue a Psychology degree. He marked me down 30 points for attendance even though I provided Doctor's notes for the absences I had. He stopped responding to my communications about the matter as well. This class has a 25-page paper that he gives no direction for to complete.

He is the worst professor at nova. He gives us 12 pages of papers to write each week. I wrote more in his class than I ever did in all my English classes at nova and high school combine. Don't take him

I took Doctor Wilson's class as a dual enrollment student and considered taking a gap year after. He didn't grade assignments until after it was too late to drop out with a refund. His grading system is very harsh and he requires short essays for each online comment. One time I cried at my desk so hard a girl got me a trashcan in case I vomited.

Mr. Wilson did not abide by his syllabus and the course was entirely out of the textbook. His grading system was unclear, and waited until the last days of the term to grade a majority of the work, which left little opportunity for feedback or improvement. Average grades on canvas were a clear indicator that I am not alone in feeling this way.

Professor Wilson is disorganized using Canvas. Theres many misplaced files from different semesters. He grades your work right before grades are finalized. He does not give any feedback/comments on tests, discussion posts, or essays. The grading is unfair because he doesnt abide by his own instructions/syllabus. Not worth the stress.

Graded everything the day before the semester ended so no chance to improve or understand what he wants. A real jerk when responding to emails. Responses to emails clarify nothing. Doesn't know how to use Canvas and it shows. Made me hate psychology. I got an A and he said I had "minimal critical thinking skills."

I took Professor Wilson 6 week NOVA online psychology course. He didn't grade anything past week 2 until the class had ended. gave no feedback/comments whatsoever and didn't respond to the questions in an email. Professor Wilson is really unhelpful and makes you dread the class. I would recommend you not to take this class.

I already have a bachelor's degree so I understand the amount of writing that's normal for undergraduate work. This guy is over the top. His 20 point "quizzes" are 4 questions and each one requires a 3 page essay. Doesn't grade work promptly. I am 5 wks into his course and got my first of 5 discussion board grades. He is unclear about expectations.

One of the worst professors at NOVA. He has absolutely no substance and gets extremely defensive when someone confronts him about his confusing teaching methods. Extremely selective grading and no comments to help you understand why you get the grade you did. If any professor should lose their teaching rights, its him. Do not recommend at all. 0/10

The amount of papers that are done in this class are triple the amount I did for my capstone project if I wanted to take a writing intensive class I would've. He justifies time management as if everything revolves around him and is on his time. I work full time and have only one other class and I am barely keeping up. Don't take this class.

His grading makes no sense to the point where he gets confused about it. He blames things on students and does not take responsibility for his mistakes. Discussion Boards make up the majority of your grade. The syllabus says to respond to 2 other people, but if others don't leave comments, it impacts your grade because you are not engaging enough.

Worst professor ever. He doesn't give quality feedback and he does not have a consistent grading standard. When the class has brought this up he gets incredibly defensive and borderline humiliates students. He will say things are on the syllabus when they are not and have changed requirements multiple times. 0/10 do NOT take his class.

He assigns a ridiculous amount of homework. He requires multiple essays due each week. I ended up having to drop his class because it was too time consuming and I wasnt able to finish all his work on time. His grading system is confusing as well as his canvas. He also never grades work or gives feedback. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

He was awful, he always thinks hes right about everything and gives you essay each week and doesnt give you enough time. You have to write a essay about each topic he gives you and it has to be 3 full pages. When he grades, he never gives feedback or when you email him to ask a question. He never responds. Worse teacher at nova

He was single handily the worst psych teacher ever. So many quizzes and assignments with so little time to actually finish them to his outrageous standards. he is inconstant with grading and will not answer emails. DO NOT TAKE!!!!!!!

Very rude towards his students. Whenever someone asks a question he just ignores them and gets defensive when you call him out on something. He assigned a test when NOVA had cancelled classes He never accepts fault for any of his many mistakes and is overall not a good person. Don't take him if you want to feel respected as an individual.

Very rude and inconsiderate towards his students. He gets defensive when you call him out on his behavior and insulted a student for asking him to upload a powerpoint. For tests, he made us write 6 essay questions. Not bad, but each were a minimum of 3 pages. He gave us one weekend to write what was essentially an 18 page paper. DO NOT TAKE HIM

Old style teaching, this is 2023. Students should not have to reach so much stress over one class. It's about learning not trying to find how to learn! You don't tell a person get that knife out of that man's arm. There are procedures to know that man is not going to bleed out. I repeat, teach! instead of letting students see what they can do.

tough grading

Professor does not allow makeup assignments/extra credit/makeup quizzes/homework. Grade is quiz based. Professor rushes quizzes or starts lecture mid quiz. Students do not take the quiz at the same time, some students are advised to wait till after class while some already took it. Professor is passive aggressive. Lecture/TB doesn't reflect quiz

This is the worst professor I've ever had. At first, everything was going well, just two exams until the professor explained we had a research proposal. I turned mine in, and it took him three weeks to review it.I had to send it three times so he could see it. When he got my proposal ,he reviewed it, in front of the WHOLE class, it was embarrassing

Very unprofessional. Does not provide clear instruction for assignments and is very hard to contact. Very rude overall, if you can find a better professor, take them instead.

It's really difficult to understand if the exams are lecture based, slide based, or book based. Especially considering we've only used the books to look at picture examples in class. He seems to usually prioritize elaborating on the topics of the lectures that are common knowledge of psychology rather than ones that aren't.

Often rambles and ironically causes retroactive interference of students' learning. Not clear on which to study for exam. Highly disorganized, rude, subtle stereotyping (?). Emphasizes the obvious while glazing over the unknown, highly threatening to those who want to genuinely pursue psychology. Outdated and physical media heavy.

DANGEROUSLY OUTDATED VIEWS. Especially on queer education, be cautious. Can be mildly offensive, plays it off as a joke, may be unaware or doesn't care. Clearly just elaborates on the obvious, extremely unhelpful for people who actually WANT to study psychology, despite him being a 'psychologist' himself.

Heavily based on creepy Freudian views. Will ask you questions that he's supposed to teach you because deep down he just forgets half the information. Exams contain questions barely brought up in class. Doesn't acknowledge the criticisms of some of these historical figures enough, leading to students to believe outdated views to be true.

Only does exams, and final papers near the end of the semester. Not responsive towards emails, and some of the questions on the exam aren't in the slides. For a starter class into psychology, I would not recommend as it's too much studying especially if you have other classes.

The course was poorly structured, and lectures did not align with the material on the exams. Lectures were not helpful for exam preparation, and concerns raised by students were often met defensively. Exams werent graded by the instructor. I earned a B only by teaching myself most of the stuff while many students struggled throughout the semester.
