He is an excellent teacher. He uses the dry erase board very effectively with many different colored markers to help you understand each problem step by step. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to gain a full understanding of the material and anyone who will be taking upper level math classes in the future.

I took Mr. Wilkinson for Precal and it was really hard. He's funny and engages the class, but he whizzes through concepts so it's hard to keep up. His tests are rough (first test class average of 55) and he does not curve. He supposedly has the highest fail rate of all math teachers, so unless math is your thing I would choose someone easier.

Very helpful during office hours, he walked me through the take-home quizzes, which helped. He is notorious for difficult quizzes & tests.

He's a good professor but I took his class during a summer session, so of course it wasn't as easy. But, he is kind of unorganized.

Taking the class right now. Hes such a tough grader for Cal1. I never saw any reviews for his Cal class. Its difficult. For my first exam our class average was a 60 with no curve at all. I dont think im gonna last long in his class. 2nd time taking calculus. He expects u to know many things. He makes his lessons very confusing exams r nuts.

You're expected to know the unit circle and trig identities. There is a LOT of homework problems and the book sometimes doesn't line up with what he teaches. He's also easier to understand than the book, in my opinion. Gives take home quizzes and tells you exactly when in class quizzes will be. If you put in the work and study, you should be fine.
