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.
