Prof. Wilson lacks the ability to teach. He is extremely anal. Don't take any class with him, you will probably fail.
Graduate of Kean and funny guy. Very anal about your work, will fail you if he catches 3 words of plagiarism or grammar errors. Take the class if you have to. (Buisness Writing)
Horrible!!! Is obsessed w/ spell check. Very anal. Even if you do the work and it doesn't live up to his expectations...get ready for a zero on it. He is young so he should be more understanding of us. This class was a free elective, I regret the day I took it. Don't take it if you don't have to.
if you want to write an excellent resume to get a job, he is the right person. very demanding, but you learn a lot from him. grading is not bad, if you follow his requirement. class is not boring either.
He is very demanding of his students, however, you end up learning a lot from his class. He also lets you rewrite two assignments for a higher grade. He spells out exactly what he wants, all you have to do is follow it.
This dude is like Charles Bronson in Messenger of Death! Takes no prisoners and takes no crap from lazy students - I actually learned something, not like with other professors. The students who complained every week after class were the jocks who had no interest in writing, just looking for easy 'A'
The guy is funny and anal but you are there to learn right? Oh and by the way, if you are worried about being caught plagiarizing get out of college!
The dude rules! He's hardcore though. Very demanding. In his class the only thing at stake is your grade. In the real world it will be your job. Get used to it, Kean does not prepare you for the real world. We need more teachers like this. Tough but fair.
I really enjoyed the class. There was never a dull moment and I learned a lot. I wish I would have put more effort into my final paper. I would definitely take another class with Professor Wilson.
He must have written the good reviews. lol
this guy will fail you, but he will difintely give you the tools needed in order to function properly in the real world; He will defintely let you know that he is the boss of that class and there are no exceptions. Great professor but you will work for your grade.
a great professor, does not have a problem failing you!be prepared to work you but off!!!!!!If it's an easy A that you want. warning!!! do not take this professor!!!!!!!!
great prof and definitly takes his class seriously. knows what hes talking about when it comes to the topics of discussion and truly cares about what hes teaching. hes very fair, and you get the grade you work for and deserve
Take B&P Writing w/Don Wilson. Your writing & editing skills will improve and it will be worth it!Requires time,effort and a bit of creativity on some assignments for and A. Just follow directions to the letter and proof your work, always! Great professor, keeps you laughing and entertained on Saturday AM. Beware, if looking for easy A. Not here.
great teacher! he knows what he is talking about and makes the class interesting. gives you the midterm questions week before- he's cool. TAKE HIM
This professor is no pushover, and makes you work for your grade, but it's well worth it. He makes the class material very interesting and likes to show how the stories can be relevant today.
This is not an easy class but you will learn a lot. I recommend the class.
DW is great! He is fair, witty, intelligent, dedicated, and yes a CUTIE! Great professor and keeps class interesting. Take him!!!
This classroom was extremely useful. Just make sure that you already have descent writing skills prior to registering for this class. And go there with the intentions of becoming a great editor!!
This is a hard class with a lot of work that has to be done. Do exactly what he tells you and check your papers before you hand them in you should do ok. There are 6 papers, 1 major report, 6 editing quizzes and 1 editing final exam.
Don't let Professor Wilson scare you on the first day, he is a great professor. The class is not hard if you make an effort, and do your best work. You must do all the assignments, and double check your work. Professor Wilson gives you all the information needed to get an A in his class, it doesn't get any better than that.
Professor is very condescending to his students. If possible take the class with another professor.
Professor Wilson iOS an excellent educator. His expectations are demanding however, if you follow his specific instructions, he sets you up to pass the class. His directions are precise and very easy to follow. You will learn and enjoy his class. He has a good sense of humor which makes the class interesting. You cannot fail his class.
Prof Wilson is awesome and his class was very beneficial. He does make you work, but he LITERALLY spells it out for you on what he is expecting. Don't be lazy, read handouts carefully, and put in effort into these assignments that you will def use for your careers. You won't mind going to class because you will def be entertained while learning :)
As everyone else said, he will make you work. I took this course a few semesters ago on a Saturday at 8am....and actually ENJOYED going!! He is one of the best professors I've had. I had pretty good writing/editing skills before his class, but I still learned a lot. I highly recommend taking B&P Writing with Prof. Wilson!
One word. "the best"
Wilson is an amazing professor. He provides every opportunity to receive a passing grade and he is always willing to help his students. This was one of the classes I learned the most, and it will definitely help me in my future endeavors.
One of the best Professors I've had at Kean!! Learned a lot and really enjoyed his class. Be prepared to work, but it's all worth it! Don't be lazy- crystal clear what is expected, so pay attention!
the best
The most talented English Professor I ever had. His strategy to simplify English was flawless. You must show up and you must have desire, and the rest is easy. I will never forget the real life experience Professor Wilson gave freely. Resume class as a whole was really priceless. His instructions are crystal clear and you just need to follow them!
Prof Wilson tells you this is an editing class, not writing. Don't believe it! There's a CRAZY amount of writing. The good news is he offers to review it over email to make sure it's right BEFORE you hand it in. I would have failed if not his extra help. He's an awesome professor!
I'm laughing at the sour grapes expressed by some of these reviewers - you can tell who passed and who failed. I passed - and all I did was follow the detailed directions Prof. Wilson provided. There's a lot of writing, but honestly this was the easiest class I've ever taken.
Great professor. He explains all his assignments step by step and even allows you to email it to him early for review. It's not an easy class in that you actually have to do your work to pass so do it! Pay attention too. The resume format Professor Wilson teaches has gotten me a lot of positive feedback. It was worth taking.
One of the best classes I have ever taken and I would do it again if it would get me another 3 credits. He explains the subject and the material down to a rudimentary level for everyone to understand. He gives hand outs that explain EXACTLY what you are suppose to do for all the assignments. Follow instructions and you can get an A.
This professor was awesome and made class really fun. 5 editing quizzes, 1 editing exam. Do your work on time and you will pass, as simple as that. He explains exactly what he wants, follow the sheets he passes out! I would definitely take this professor again!
Awesome professor! His lectures are so entertaining but also very informative and helpful, and he is willing to work with you as long as you put in the work and show initiative. He gives you everything you need and then some to pass his class, and even lets you resubmit assignments for a better grade. I would highly recommend!
This professor is one of a kind and is extremely helpful with ALL assignments. He has clear cut instructions with a visible sample that you can follow. He responds to emails quickly as possible. You can definitely tell that he cares about what he does and its not just simply a paycheck. More professors need to take notes from him. Enjoyed class.
Don Wilson is an amazing professor! He never gives up on you and helps you get that A, but you have to prove it to him that you want it. Be prepared to laugh because he makes jokes about everything and is so funny. I would highly take him again.
Great professor! He really wants his students to do well and he his every helpful. All you have to do is follow his hand-outs and you will get an A. He is also very funny which makes the class even better.
Professor Wilson is an awesome professor! He cares and wants students to learn! Be prepared to do your part.. a lot of work but if you follow his steps to the "T" you will have no problem. His class is NEVER boring. I took it on Saturdays and time went fast.
Professor Wilson is an amazing professor! He makes his lectures funny so his class goes by quickly. He provides all the material necessary to pass the class. You just have to do the work. I would take him again!
Great professor. Class is a tough but a lot of fun too. If you follow the instructions you will have no problem. Also, he lets you redo some of the assignments for a better grade. Highly recommended class.
Wilson is the best-- hilarious & to the point. Tells you exactly what you need to do to attain an A. Listen to his directions, read the handouts, and you'll do great. One editing exam and about five editing quizzes-- all are pretty simple.
Professor Wilson gives you all the tools necessary to pass with an A. As long as you follow the criteria that he lays out for you in detail, there's no reason why you shouldn't do well. Show up and do the work and you'll be fine.
Makes it too hard to not to get an A. Just do what he says and follow his instructions. Good sense of humor and makes the class time fly by. He's also honest and blunt which I appreciated. You don't meet too many like him so definitely sign up with Wilson.
This guy is a clown! Had a fun time in his class. Made what he expected from us very clear and detailed so there is no reason to fail. He will be tough on you if you mess up on things like cite checking but to be honest, in a junior year English/Writing class, you should already know these common rules. Great Professor.
A real good professor. He goes over hmwk in great detail. Pretty much guides you to an A without actually doing the work for you.
Awesome teacher: makes a boring class actually interesting, super funny, shows you exactly what you need to do--so as long as you follow the directions, you will ace the class. You can actually use what you learn in this class in real life.
Professor Wilson is a great professor! He is funny, and he is clear on how we should do each assignment in order to get an A. I even learned how to write a resume that will actually get me hired. Loved the class!
BE READY TO WORK! Professor Wilson is a great professor, awesome teaching style and super funny. He will give you exact details on how to pass this class, but you will have to earn you grade. He makes a boring class super funny and interesting. You would be asked for a big paper at the end of the semester worth like 20% of your grade, be creative.
Okay, first thing - DO NOT BE LAZY! This class is ACTUAL stuff you can use in real life people, like when you want to get a REAL job. He LITERALLY maps out what you need to do to ace the class (which no professor needs to do, btw). READ HANDOUTS! Super nice guy, funny and makes a boring topic fun. He's also nice to look at :) Best professor!
Great teacher who is built on the principle of precision. Very good class that sharpens your business writing. The best class I ever taken. Good professor who is fair and builds you up. Offers rewrites for your grades which built me up to a B-; when initially I was failing the course. Challenging class and very detail Oriented. Follow directions
You will have quizzes, and a project (proposal) due at the end of the semester. YET.. I enjoyed every aspect of this class. He is one who will keep you awake no matter how tired you are. He is funny as all get out and not bad on the eyes. YET... don't take his kindness for granted because you will have to work for your grade.
Prof. Wilson knows what he's talking about. He's strict when it comes to the editing of your work, but there wasn't a single thing he expected that wasn't covered by the handouts, syllabus, whiteboard, and him repeating it ad nauseam every single class. Simply put, the only reason you'd fail his class is if you willingly disregarded instructions.
Be prepared to do your part in his class! Professor Wilson is an extraordinary teacher who knows how to turn boring material into a fun experience! He outlines every assignment and tells you exactly what you need to do if you want an A! Show up to every class, work hard and you will do great! Also not bad on the eyes! Definitly would take again!!!!
Professor Donald Wilson is great! Lots of papers to write, but this is the nature of this class. No way around it. He gives you all the tools to get a good grade. He also gives everyone a chance to rewrite every paper. You have to be very lazy to fail this class.
Professor Wilson is of the best professors at Kean University. You will learn a lot if you pay attention. If you follow exactly what he tells you to do you will pass the class. He is really funny and i enjoyed his class. He is a fair/strict grader so it is important to edit your work. He does allow you to re-do some assignments.
Professor Wilson was one of the better teachers Ive had throughout my college career. He challenged us in every assignment. However, if we struggled with the assignments he did a great job in providing us feedback and coaching us. Professor Wilson overall is a great teacher and hes help me become a better writer.
Prof. Wilson is a great instructor! He outlines everything that you need to do on his assignments. If you are good at following directions, there is no reason for anyone to not get an A in this class. There are about 5 editing quizzes at the beginning of the class and an editing exam. All very simple and precise. He also lets you leave class early.
He's seriously a great professor. Yeah, there's a lot of writing involved but as long as you pay attention and use the handouts he gives you, you'll be fine. He tells you exactly how to do it and gives great feedback. There's really no reason why you shouldn't pass his class. Don't disappoint him!
Professor Don provides everything needed to do well in the class. Bottom line is ... follow his instructions during lecture and you will not have any issues doing well. Like anything else, You Alone Determine the Outcome of Your Success in the class. Never had a class that was so straight forward. Learned a few things too!
Good professor but his grading is not clear! goes into details. He expects you to be good writer with no mistakes otherwise one grade down. Quiz every class then final test which was harder. Lot of papers to write.
This is not an easy class but i learned the most with him. What he teaches, you actually use in real life. Hes funny and cares ( even though he says he doesn't) He will give you all the tools that you need to pass. If you fail, its because you didn't go to class or you didn't follow his worksheet that gives you all the answers. Great Professor !!!
Take him if you want to become a better student
He is a great professor as long as you follow instructions. He is a tough grader but he allows rewrites and specifically tells you what is your wrong with your paper. Its easy to get an A but if you don't put a little effort, its just as easy to get an F. Very accessible outside class and even encourages emailing if you need help. Would take again.
Professor Wilson is a superb professor. He is a professional who claims not caring for his students, but in reality does everything possible to see them succeed. He is also the only man I know who can pull off wearing the same clothes every class. He also has some cool unicorn tats on his arm. Wish I could've kept his red sunglasses. :)
Awesome professor! Follow the directions, read the handouts and get a guaranteed A. He works with you, and lots of opportunities to redeem yourself if you got a bad grade. Definitely worth it!
Prof. Wilson is a good professor very professional and fun. I learned a lot in his class.
great professor
Professor Wilson is the absolute best! Literally all you have to do is 1) SHOW UP ON TIME 2) FOLLOW THE HANDOUTS THAT HE GIVES YOU 3) HAND EVERYTHING ON TIME. You have the option of re-doing your work AS LONG AS YOU FINISH IT ON TIME! He is EXTREMELY SARCASTIC and HILARIOUS!! DO NOT DOUBLE THINK AND TAKE HIM! AMAZING PROFESSOR! WILL MISS HIS CLASS!
Exceptional professor. Genuine, caring, and straightforward. Be prepared to do your work, and you will pass. I wish I could have him again.
If you follow directions and hand your assignments on time, you will do great in this course. His sense of humor isn't for everyone, but it makes the time fly by. He is my absolute favorite Professor thus far!
He makes the class interesting and helpful as possible, but business and professional writing is a boring topic. PAY ATTENTION TO THE HANDOUTS.
The best English professor I've taken. Extremely funny, caring, and enthusiastic about what he teaches. Took him at a night class for 2 hours, didn't even notice since he made sure class was interesting. You actually get to apply what he teaches. #AMAZING #WOULDTAKEAGAIN #HILARIOUS
If you need to take Business writing, take Prof. Wilson if you can. He really is one of the most accessible teachers out there and will truly work with you. Besides that, he knows how to engage his students with his humor and charm, so there was never a dull/boring class. He is also very straight to the point and grading criteria is crystal clear.
One of the greatest professors Ive had. Hes funny, makes class enjoyable, cracks jokes, but knows when to be serious and talk about the work. Hell give you chances to fix some grades and is as fair as can be. I recommend taking Professor Wilson 100%
Its not an A,B, C course but the thing is he gives very clear and precise instructions on almost everything each week once you follow those you will pass, He is a very understanding and caring person but he wants to see effort from your end and he will always meet you half way once he sees your effort, its never a dull moment that guy is funny.
Hes an awesome professor. He is a must take professor.
Great professor and you will learn what you will need in the real working world. Do your work, show him that you want to learn and he will help you 100%! Hilarious but very direct, you have to have a sense of humor on you not to interpret it the wrong way!! Fantastic class, great professor.
He is very easy when it comes to explaining the assignment and helping you with it. Do it earlier then the due date and he will tell you what to fix in order to get a 100. Just do the work the way he tells you to and you will pass with flying colors.
Professor was clear about expectations.
Great Teacher and funny
Just follow his instructions and you'll get an easy A.
Being a student of professor Wilson was a great learning experience. Although professor Wilson can be strict and expect a lot from his students, he makes learning enjoyable and has a good sense of humor. It is very important to learn profesional writing and everything I learned in this class I can and I will implement in my job.
One of the best professors I've had here in Kean. His assignments are very easy and he explains them with detail. He always gives you the chance to resubmit them as he believes in mistakes. He's hilarious aswell! If you're having any trouble, don't be afraid to ask him or just shoot him an email.
Professor Wilson is a fantastic professor. He's easy to understand and makes every single assignment simple to do. Each assignment has clear instructions and he gives feedback that actually helps. He's even forgiving about mistakes and allows people to resubmit assignments! 10/10 would take again.
Best class you could take! Professor Wilson doesn't lecture instead, he uses class time to walk you through assignments and give one on one feedback, It's impossible to get anything lower than an A. There are no tests or final exam, just a final paper, which is super easy. Get ready to have a good time in his class.
Classes entail going over what the assignments are & the format to follow. Be prepared to do a few assignments that are easy and a final outline and paper at the end. Great Professor who gives you the opportunity to correct work and truly only wants you to pass. Whatever effort used towards this class essentially determines your final grade.
BEST PROF. Very hard to take him seriously, always keeping the class alive. Don't take him personal. A couple of writing assignments but they're easy if you follow the instructions he gives. mostly memos, letters, resumes. you have a 5 page paper at the end but given the entire class it's not bad. Grades fairly. Make sure to hand in work on time.
Prof. Wilson does a great job of keeping the audience engaged during his lectures! His eccentric personality and means of speaking during a lesson allow business writing to be easy to learn while keeping the interest of the classroom. Each assignment is outlined for you and gone over by the Prof. and a good amount of time is given between each one.
Professor Donald Wilson is a great professor. He is clear from the very beginning about what you need to do. He breaks down each assignment so it's simple. Even if you were to do poorly on an assignment, he gives you multiple opportunities to correct it. Take his class if you put in the work; it's an easy A.
Professor Donald Wilson is one of the best at Kean University. His humor makes class fun and easy to follow. Participation isn't required, missing class doesn't hurt, and assignments are few and simple. He often lets us leave early and creates a stress-free, enjoyable environment. He's kind, approachable, and I highly recommend him to everyone! :)
Prof. Wilson made this class entertaining and very enjoyable. He has very clear grading criteria, allows rewrites of prior assignments, and keeps a 7:30pm class engaging. He's funny, caring and wants students to succeed. Material is applicable for real-world use and he provides great feedback on assignments. Easy A+, one of the best profs. at Kean.
