Great teacher. Makes the class fun, interesting and comfortable. May seem as though the work is hard and overwhelming, but it really isn't as long as you stay focus and on track.
THE NICEST TEACHER EVER. LISTEN 4 REAL I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMAND YOU TAKING HER CLASS. IT'S EASSSY
Mrs. Wilber's class is always fun.
As long as you show up and do the work you should be fine. Try not to take as a night class. It drags. She will help you out a lot! I learned so much from this class!
Teacher is extremely helpful. however, she gives ALOT of homework. if you attend class and Do the work you will not have any problems understanding and passing the course.GREAT TEACHER!!!
very good at what she does
Amazing teacher, always kept things fun and interesting. Goes off topic sometimes but its always fun and exciting to hear what she has to say, Young at heart eventho she thinks shes getting older, but an amazing teacher and person, very very understanding. Always tries to help you out if you have an issue with the subject. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Great Teacher!!! I give her a HOTT TAMALE cuz she deservers it!!
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT TEACHER!! She is a Brainiac and it's a privilege to be taught by her. You will definitely learn in this class! She has a passion for teaching, loves reading and always encourage you to read and she is genuinely concerned about her students and their progress. I wished she taught English as well, because I would take any clas
she is incredible.out of all the teachers that have ever taught me in my whole school career(including high school and middle school) i have never learned so much from one class and one teacher. she is very easy to talk to and she keeps the class entertained. she is the best teacher that has ever taught.
Do not apply or sign up for this class, she is so boring and crazy. She talks about stuff that only is interesting to herself and not to others, she has us reading ths dumb @#! book about people on another planet naked!!! WTF is wrong with this teacher and she looks terrible like something off a scary gremlin movie lol
She is brilliant and powerful. She cares about the students beyond her class and prepares them well for college.
Brilliant! Intelligent and helpful. Lots of work, but you learn it right and she always has helpful suggestions to better our skills.
Currently taking this class (10/11/09). Great teacher so far. Very willing to help. No complaints!
This professor is awesome. She is great at what she does and wants to help her students. The class is easy as long as you do your homework..I have fun every time I go to class.
She is an amazing teacher and always there to help. You have to do homework to maintain a good grade. She is alway doing helpful things to make the students life easier. She also relates topics to interesting things. Required novel is a bit far fetch and can become a drag but not hard at all. She is a really well rounded teacher. Take her!
Love this class. Awesome teacher. If you take her you will definitely get some good laughs.
She has the ability to teach and She knows what she is doing.She sounded very strict on the first day of class but She became cool throughout the semester..As long as you do your homeworks you will be fine with her..
Having Prof. Wilber as a teacher was awesome! Don't expect to sit back and float through this class, she makes you work but its all worth it! She has a sense of humor, and is SO helpful with all the work. Show up, particiate in class, take her suggestions and do your work/labs and you can't go wrong!
GREAT teacher.. Truly understands her students. Be prepared tp work. If you do everything she asks from you theres no reason you wont pass. Very funny and cares for her students. Had a great time in her class and wishes she taught more :)
Professor Wilber is very professional. She has an expectation of her students and you must live up to it. Do all of the assignments and you will get the rewards. Don't expect to lay back and do nothing.
TOOOOOOmuch homework: group book report, individual report, critical reading, tests and much much more. Online labs, attend school labs mandatory, still she'll fail you. Givees and talks about topics not related to Reading course. Hates everyone in her view only exit exam can pass us. Then why all this hard work! DON'T TAKE HER CLASS. She's CRAZY!
Great teacher.
A wonderful teacher. She give us lots of home work, but always send you loads of information in your e-mail. I would recommend her class to everyone who is just entering college.
yuck, I dread going to this class every day I have it. I feel like the whole class is a waste of time. She gives us a ton of home work, and all we do in class for 3 hours is review it, it is very repetative and a lot of it is just busy work, its not relevant at all. She makes everything even more confusing. Not helpful at all.
She gives a lot of hw. but she drops your lowest grade She is one of the best teachers I have ever taken.
Do not take her. You WILL have killed one whole tree by the end of the course. She gives out so much homework, she comes into class always looking like she is going to kill someone, is obsessed with herself. All she does is braggs about how many books she has read, it just is a waste of our time. Not a good idea if you have more than one class.
Had her for Stategies very easy course if you do the work and come to class
Mrs. Wilber bis a great teacher, I learned alot in her class everything was helpful and needed the information she gives us is something to remember threw life because it's basically about what we do in the real world. I wanted to take her this semester, but my shedule didn't work as planned....love her great teacher.
She was a great teacher. She gives a lot of homework but at the end its helpful. Take her shes a great teacher. I got a B in the class and a 75 on the exit.
She is very helpful and always on top of things due the before class.
She is the best ! She gives a lot of home work though, but its easy if you do the homework you pass the class.
The utmost boring class you'll take with senseless busy-work and projects. She believes she's a superior being because she won a teaching award, knows how to use Google and can read a novel whilst eating dinner. However, it's an easy A if you show up and choose to submit to the mind-numbing work.
Great teacher. Fun class. Useful info both for college and real world. Decent amount of homework but its EASY, it really is. Attend class, do the work, and you will get an A and have fun doing it.
I love her class. Her techniques are very helpful. She teaches very well and her class is easy.
What a wonderful experience. Truly the best in her field. Highly recommend. Lazy boring people should avoid. A++
I really fell like I learned a lot leaving her class. I highly recommend you taking her if you are taking SLC strategies. She is a very cool laid back teacher; but, when it comes down to work she is on top of it. Her teaching style to me fits any learning style. The class is fairly hands on.
ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I HAVE HAD AT PBSC GARDENS. Very clear on what she expects from you and is extremely helpful! I took her again the next semester for REA0017. Very friendly and funny. I absolutely loved her!
DON'T TAKE the class if you're lazy, unmotivated, and you hate homework. You will fail within the first week. Lots of homework each night, writing assignments once a week. And a lot of vocab to know. So, if what I said applies to you go back to high school reading. I loved her though and I earned my perfect grade :D
I love Professor Wilber. She's super helpful and clearly explains what she expects from students. This class requires a strong commitment, you will have homework everyday. If one misses a class it is very difficult to catch up. Wilber takes learning seriously and goes the extra mile to teach students. It's a difficult class but definitely worth it.
You have to work for your grade, but she makes the class fun. You definitely get a lot of homework, but if you mange your time well, it can be down. She is always willing to help and gives extra credit.
She's nice and approachable. She gives out a lot of work that she sometimes doesn't collect, but you'll learn so much from her. Don't get discourage by the workload because as long as you do it, she will reward you.
great teacher. can come off strong at times but that is because she is very passionate about reading, writing and teaching. her famous line is "i don't give students grades, they give themselves the grades." so just show up ON TIME to class, participate, ask questions and youll pass no problem. she also gives a fair amount of extra credit.
Her class is A LOT of work, but she is a very sweet and caring professor. If you need help she's always there with open arms and will help you with any question you have. The class is definitely not an easy A, but as long as you do all your homework and study for the tests, you will have no problem passing her course. Highly recommended!
She is a great teacher. Sometimes it can be too much homework but it really does help. I notice that sometimes she do mess on the negative and positive signs so we had to keep telling her to change it but it was whatever. She does let you know what you have in class like once a month. Exam was very EASY. She graded it in front of you.
Professor Wilber does give a lot of homework, so be prepared to put in work. She is very helpful and available when needed. I would recommend this professor.
Amazing Professor, be prepared to work
Very clear guidelines from the beginning. Works with you and answers emails quickly. She wants you to succeed. Can be a lot of homework but not difficult. I also only have her once a week. You will read a lot. Class is interactive and questions are welcome. Definitely taking again for ENC1102
I would recommend this teacher, she is great. She gives a descent amount of homework , she makes you think and is very helpful. The class is not boring at all, it is actually interesting.
She is a great teacher! She gives you a number of assignments. Don't expect to not get homework. The class was not boring at all. She helped improve my reading skills. Her critical readings are quite challenging. I would recommend her.
If you're lazy do not take her class she makes you work for your grade.
You own your grade, she expects a lot from her students and is truly passionate about her students learning. I fell in love with John Grisham because of her. Be prepared to read, write and have a heavy homework load, but it is worth it at the end.
okay in my opinion shes a good professor but mentally i was ready for the work load but a lesson learned. i honestly would take her again just to show her i can pass her class.
Professor Wilber doesn't play around and is a tough teacher but she is also very helpful and cares whether you pass or fail. Go to her for help and she will do as best she can. No tests or quizzes really. She grades off academic paragraphs, essays and participation. Amazing professor, I had her for both ENC1101 and ENC1102
Really teaches you how to be a good writer. The books you have to read in class are very readable. But she has a political agenda even though its a writing class. If you do not have the same opinion as her it will be harder to get the grade you want on your
she talk a lot, gives you a lot of homework. she will kick you out of class if you do not have the homework
Professor Wilber is a solid professor. She posts all of her assignments online for clarity and gives us a good direction to write in. What I loved about her is that she is very open and responsive to the class topics which makes it easy to participate in. Lots of work, but lots of learning.
Professor Wilber is a brilliant professor at Palm Beach State. She really wants you to learn and in class that's what she focuses on. She explains questions students have in class and answers all questions about assignments. She will always give you feedback and help. She is not a tough grader but she goes by her rubric so pay attention to that.
By far the best professor i ever had while at pbsc, super caring and makes you really think about what your doing not just busy work. i owe her for making me the writer i am today she is absolutely terrific !!!
Good teacher but she gives wayyyyy too much work.
Professor Wilber made be enjoy english and become a better writer.
She gives way too much work than needed. Wouldn't recommend unless you like staying up until 2am writting your essay to make sure its up to her standards....
Not too much homework but she is giving difficult topics for essays and she needs every detail in essay to be perfect.
Professor Wilber is awesome!!! If you want to become a better writer, she's your gal :-)
Only has 3 essays to write but they will be the most demanding essays you will write. She tells you exactly what she expects from each essay you write and gives proper feedback on how to improve your grade for the next essay.
Gives way to much homework. Assigns boring useless literature to read and gives difficult and uninteresting essay topics to write about. She seems to think that all her students have no life and enjoy reading all hours of the day. Her class is so boring that it should be given as a punishment to prisoners instead of the death penalty.
SHE A GREAT PROFESSOR BUT REQUIRE A LOT OF WORKS , BUT YOU ONLY WRITE 3 ESSAY THE LAST ESSAY IS DEATH BUT SHE WILLING TO HELP YOU
By far the best professor I ever had honestly I wish she taught all my classes. She is caring and helpful. I took her for 1101 and 1102 and both semesters she was very accessible and you get the grade you deserve
I use to dread writing and i wasn't really good at writing essays until i took her class. she pushed me and got me really interested in writing. she's taught me more than any english teacher has ever taught me.
She is so trash do NOT TAKE HER. Her essays make no sense because she doesn't explain them. So makes it way to difficult for in enc1101 class
Hey guys! So before I chose this class I came here .After reading some of the comments I was like I got this; but little did I know that I was gonna have THE MOST stressful semester in my life. This class is super hard, she expects you to be a good writer and her gradind style is super complex. If you want to have a high grade then RUN!
I had professor wilber my first 2 semesters at pbsc and I loved her! she really helped me with all my writing assignments and helped to make me a better writer! she is by far the best!! I would strongly suggest taking her, its college you have to put in some effort the only reason you would struggle in this class is if you don't apply yourself.
Professor Wilber is a great teacher and does her best to help those who WANT to pass. If your willing to put in the work and use your resources such as her office hours, which by the way she gives candy, then you'll be fine. The class consists of journals from readings and 3 major essays.
FYI dont take this class if your taking multiple other classes. She's a good teacher, tough grader, but she helps you improve your writing. You have to put in the work for a good grade. Lots of essays & journals to do. This semester was kind of stressful bcus of her class but I would take it again bcus I actually saw improvement in my writing.
A really good class if you're willing to do the work OUTSIDE OF CLASS(meaning going to labs and having help from others), so being lazy will quickly get you a C or below because she is a tough grader and half-assed stuff will receive the grade it deserves.
Shes terrible at explaining what not do and do to do it and only cares about her self. she's always saying if she still can go to school we can to so theres no excuse on ho she grades. Would not take her again.
Professor Wilber is an amazing and her methods of teaching far surpassed my expectation. She is by far the BEST English teacher I have ever had and she DID NOT make anything more difficult than it needed to be. I would take her classes as many times as i could if it would get me credit!! Hands down Professor Wilber is amazing!!!
Also I took this class during the summer for 8 weeks. Since the class was shorter and fast paced, it became difficult, but professor Wilber is the best and understanding.
She is far from the best professor. Would never taker her again. If you don't want to fail , STAY AWAY FROM this professor!!!!! In this class you will never be able to write to express what you feel or be free. In this class all writing has to be a certain exact way or you fail!!! stay away it will kill your dreams to even go to school.
Would 100% never take Wilber again. The hardest class Ive ever taken in my entire life. I truly considered never going back to school because of her. Run away while you can, youll regret taking her class I promise. She gives way too much work, its extremely boring, none of it makes sense, and her standers are ridiculous.
Ive called this woman every mean name in the book, but I cant do that here. So Ill just warn anyone reading this. DO NOT take her class! That is unless you enjoy busy work, reading terrible novels, and hearing it was clearly in the directions when the directions are 4 pages long and nothing is clear or concise about what you are doing.
Contrary to popular belief, this professor is perhaps one of the best professors PBSC has. I strongly recommend that you take this professor if you want to become a better writer. She has taught me more about writing than any other teacher has in my entire High School career. When we switched to remote learning, she became very lenient. A- rating.
I see a lot of negative reviews for Prof Wilber. She is misunderstood. If you are lazy and do not put any effort into your work, then you will not do well in her class. I was skeptical to take her class due to the reviews, but if you want to improve the way you write then I suggest taking her. She really cares and is always available for students.
