Mr. Wenson is your typical younger teacher who does not really care that much about his job. So far this semester, he has not showed up 4 times and even said one time was because he was out late at the bar. He does not give any reviews before tests and all the hw is on mymathlab which is no help what so ever. The material is fairly simple.
Great teacher highly recommended! Very knowledgeable and helpful! This guy makes a boring subject like math fun with his humor...a very funny and witty dude! I learned a lot!
The best teacher ever! He is able to break everything down to where you will understand the basics and "why" he is not only very smart but hilarious too!
Best math teacher I've ever had. Very helpful, and very understanding and willing to work with you. He's hilarious, take this class. MyMathLab sucks though, be warned about that.
Honestly, he's one of the best teachers that I've had in a long time. He's young and pretty cool. Definitely takes his time to explain anything that the class doesn't understand by literally dumbing it down. My mathlab is required, but it's not difficult. Do the assignments and you'll be fine. You get an unlimited amt of attempts anyways.
He is very good at explaining things in a way that you understand it. He is good at responding to e-mails very fast. He is so funny. The only downside is that there is my math lab. But the test are online and you get three attempts, so it's your own fault if you don't get an A.
Seriously, the easiest teacher I have ever taken in my entire life. If you plan on using math in your career, he may not be the best choice. If you are planning to just fly by math like myself, take him, easy A+! Seriously. Curves the class like his jobs depends on it! Very nice, young guy, not hot, kinda dorky, but at the end of the day, easy A!
Took for interim. algebra. I was able to easily 4.0. Homework is all online and does take some time. Tests were online as well (therefore open note). Lecture is boring, because of the content. I would highly recommend. Textbook not necessary but you need the access code. Also attendance was not necessary.
The test questions were pulled straight from the book, word for word and we knew what questions ahead of time. Corrections can be turned in to get half of the missed points back. The textbook was rarely used, only to get the test questions. Prof Wenson has a weird sense of humor and the lectures are kind of dry, but this is math. Overall an east A
His teaching is a little dry to listen too. When he wants a answer from the students he asks and even though he thinks he makes it obvious someone answers it wrong and it seems like he gets angry when that happens. Do everything it says on syllabus even if he says no otherwise. He says dont do prereq hw online. Do it . his promise isnt good syllab
Took this as a summer course for calc. and he decided to change his whole format! For starters our finial exam counts for 50% of our grade!!! Also expects you to do your own notes before coming to class. During class only reviews examples & does not teach the material! No tests and a lot of online homework.I would NOT recommend taking this teacher!
Professor Wenson has a unique style of teaching in that he changes it every semester. I took him for calc 1 and it's been fairly easy, however, I can not recomend him for the simple fact that if your plan on taking any higher math you will struggle in the future. He is a good teacher if you're looking for an easy A.
Professor Wenson is really good at explaining and going over problems slowly. He makes sure that everyone understands his lectures. He is very easy to be reached at all times and responds very quickly when in need. Also, he makes it very clear about what you need to know for the tests. I would definitely recommend taking him for any math courses!
No longer provide exams online and huge curves on grades, his old students were so lucky compared to his new course syllabus.
The way he has his class set up is horrible. The homework is only 220 points and his exams are 300 points each. There are no quizzes that could possibly help your grade. provides reviews but those aren't helpful. Taking notes in class isn't enough. Be prepared to reteach yourself the material.
He's one of the best professor. He's really funny. His test are not really hard as long as you study. he gives a lot of extra credit. attending will be count as an extra credit. there's extra credit as well for finishing the lab 100%. He doesn't take all points off if you get the problem wrong on test. HE IS JUST AWESOME.
Good teacher, makes you work for it tho. Taking him again for pre-calc 2. Accessible outside of class, make sure you do mymathlab homework to reinforce lectures and give you a better overall grade in the class. Simple grading system, 5 tests that make up a good portion of your grade. Lots of extra credit available. would take again. Nice guy
great professor!!! gives you two extra points everytime you go to class. tests were kind of hard, but even if the answer was wrong he usually gave you points for showing work. would take him again!
Really good guy. He definitely is the best math teacher Ive had in a long time. Gives extra credit and treats his students like adults. Homework gets hard sometimes but pays off on the tests. I would take him for every math class if I could.
No complaints, he is very easy and explains everything very well. Only complaint is is monotone voice but overtime you adapt to it.
If you ever take statistics, take it with him. He will make it easy for you. He offers extra credit and if you study his practice tests you will do great in the class. 100% recommend him
its been 3 years since i was in his class and i am here still remembering how great of a prof he was. I learned a lot and he made me love math. If you have the chance to be in his class you wont regret it. Plus hes so funny. WORTH IT
He was by far my favorite math professor! He explains the material clearly during lecture and outlines the notes nicely. Hes just a nice, young, goodlooking math professor! I recommend him!
Great professor! He explains the processes clearly and goes through the majority of homework questions before they are even due. Not to mention he is funny, young, nice, chill, handsome, understanding, and really cool! I would take him again if I could!
Overall, He is the Greatest . True Gentleman.
Legend
This guy is a beast, explains everything very well, and very chill
Prof. Wenson is a great instructor he makes the tests very straight to the point, and he provides a study guide which is exactly like the test. Attendance and homework are extra credit Also, he is a very funny prof so he makes going to class worth it!
Professor Wenson is the best professor ive ever had. He explains the lectures so thoroughly, its easy to understand what you know and dont know. He is always asking if we have questions. He assigns homework online that is only due at the end of the semester so you have a lot of time to do it. Makes jokes every once in a while. Take his class!
EASIEST CLASS EVER. Showed up for only the tests, which he gives exact practice equivalents for. macomb is a joke.
Had him for 3 classes and all of them are higher level math he is amazing , helpful, and very respectful. I took him for linear algebra and differential equations and both of them were first time for him to teaches it but he did an amazing job. He is by far my favorite math professor.
Hes the best math professor at mcc. Hes adorable like an angel from the sky. Calc is hard but he will help you do good! Thank you Mr. Wenson for everything youre awesome and you know it :)
Wenson is a great professor really tries to make you understand material in stats. He will show you the hard way then say ok easy way and show us how to do it in a calculator
Tests were easy. Passing is guaranteed. If you need an A, you need to work just a little harder. NO REGRETS with this guy. He's kind,professional,and cares for students. Attendance was extra credit. offered a take home test. Math isn't my strongest subject but still managed to get A-. Don't think about taking a class with him twice. He's a Legend!
Professor Wenson is an amazing math professor. His lectures are very helpful, and if you apply yourself, it's an easy A. He is a bit unenthusiastic when teaching, but it's all hilarious. I would for sure take him again for another A!
Professor Wenson does a great job of explaining the material and answering any questions. His study guides for the tests are very similar to the actual exams. He offers extra credit for attendance. One of my favorite math professors.
one of the best professor at MCC! TAKE HIM, YOU WON'T REGRET IT AT ALL!!!!
Okay HE IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER AND IS CARING which is very very rare to find nowadays with professors especially in the math department! I don't mean to be rude but way better than Professor Friday, like hands down no questions about that.
Professor Wenson is literally the only reason I passed math at Macomb. I took him for 70 and 1000 and he is the best! If math isn't your strong subject, for sure take Wenson!
Professor Wenson is great. Even though math is my strong suit and I have not had to ask barely any questions I know he is a great professor. He sends out motivational emails every day to give everyone a nice motivation to start their work For the week. 100% recommend
Professor Wenson is by my favorite professor ive had at macomb. Hey sends out a email everyday reminding us when work is and adds a motivational video or some time of video. Great professor. Definitely recommend
Excellent professor, took him all my math classes at MCC. Precalc up to calc 2. Wish he taught them all. Very nice, caring, and funny
I loved Professor Wenson. He kept the class very clear every week and was always willing to help. Since the class was online, he was willing to change your grade if you made a technological error while answering questions on tests or quizzes. He also gives you a lot of chances to bump your grade, definitely take him. He really wants you to do well.
Professor Wenson was an amazing instructor for this class. He had strong communication and stayed in touch with his students during the pandemic. All homework, quizzes, and exams are through Knewton Alta. The textbook was also free during the online course. As long as you take detailed notes and do the assignments weekly, you will succeed!
Professor Wenson was amazing. The work was straight forward and was done on Knewton Alta. He kept in touch with his students every single day until finals and truly wanted us to pass the class. He truly is a gem.
I would highly recommend professor Wenson, very nice and organized teacher. He explains the materials very good. Take him and you won't regret it !!
BEST MATH TEACHER AT MCC. all hw and tests are on Knewton and can retake everything up to 10 times. Please take him. Hes the best!
Wenson was a hands-off prof. We were expected to do the homework and tests at our own pace without weekly deadlines. If you are an independent student who likes to set their own schedule, this is good for you. No lectures, but you can ask him any questions through email, canvas, etc. Nice and stayed professional.
He is great. I was nervous for this class bc Im not the best at math but this prof makes it very easy to comprehend. His videos go with the homework and it's all simple. Did not take a lot of time up from me to watch videos + do hw. No due dates. TAKE HIM.
He is a very great professor. All the homework is due at the end of the semester. Easy to pass homework and test. If I get a chance, I will retake. If you took his class, you wouldn't regret it.
I have never liked math, but he made it very easy and made you want to understand. Statistics is not an easy course but with him was comfortable. I would highly recommend.
One of the best professors everrrr. Math isn't my thing but was super super super easy. Definitely recommend him
Do the Knewton Alta assignments. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE, you will be just fine.
All online, everything is due on the last day of class, you control your own schedule. He makes videos on every single knewton alta assignment and more. He also recommends a schedule for you to follow to make the best use of your time and not to fall behind! I love it
So this class was EXTREMELY lenient. However, take it at your own risk because I waited the very last few days to finish the assignments (a semester's worth). He sent us messages every single day reminding us that everything was due at the end of the semester but I just got so busy with other class homework. Be sure to make time for this class.
I am taking prof. Wenson for differential equations and i could not have been happier! He explains the material to you as if it was your first math class. You will walk out of the class with the grade you desire and the knowledge you need. Hands down the best math professor in macomb. Truly an honor having him as a professor. Wish him the best.
All assignments are available on the first day and due on the last day. All homework is easily accessible on canvas. Wenson is an amazing teacher. Thoroughly explained every subject and told us what to expect on the exam the class before. He also has a youtube channel which explains every chapter of the book. If you're going to take math, take him.
This professor made me LOVE math. His class is constructed clearly, he explains all things that we need to learn, and his way of teaching is my favorite! I have dropped this class before on 1st day after seeing formula sheet, but now, I know almost every single formula and what each one means. I highly recommend taking MATH1340 with prof. Wenson.
I just finished taking MATH 1340 with professor Wenson, and he by far is one of my favorite professors. He really wants you to succeed and it shows. He gives you a complete run down of the exams and gives you all semester to complete the homework assignments. His lectures are well-planned and explained perfectly. By far my favorite teacher at MCC.
Professor Wenson is the best math professor I have had at Macomb thus far. Not only is he very passionate about what he does, but he is a very considerate person and gives you everything you need to succeed. His grading scale is also very generous, considering 70% of your grade is homework. The homework done in zyBooks is extremely simple. Take him
Professor Wenson is a great teacher. he spends lots of time going over every detail, problem, and question. The class is weighted heavily on hmk but you can check it to make sure you get 100% leading to an easy A. The exams are clear and laid out well I f you struggle in math take professor Swenson.
Graded mostly by homework, which is participation based and can be attempted as many times as needed. Amazing lectures if you really want that A and to learn it, but test reviews are easy enough and test questions are based on it.
Professor Wenson is decent to pretty good in terms of explaining concepts. 60% of the grade was homework, that's graded on completion! Knewton hw is long though, so beware. 30% of the grade was unit tests. 10% was final. The unit tests were super easy! He does review days before all exams letting you know exactly what will be on them. He's a must!
Professor Wenson was very nice, but he had us doing 8-9 assignments on Newton weekly. Very hard to keep up if you struggle with math. Each question you get wrong adds 1-2 more, doing the homework draining. If you struggle with math, do not take this class. You will drown, he would put out YouTube videos, that didn't correlate with the questions.
Very chill guy, as long as you listen to him in class and do the knewton homework. You cannot fail this class at all.
I'm terrible at math but he made this class really easy. Any questions you had he will help. Although there is a lot of homework, as long as you do your homework you will pass. I was never stressed out and usually math gives me a mental breakdown. Highly recommend if you struggle with math. He's very caring and wants to make things easier for us.
I had Prof. Wenson for Diff. Eq. over the 23' Summer. An excellent professor, as long as you are willing to put in the necessary effort to prepare yourself in this class, you will succeed. He is very approachable, among best of MCC's Mathematics Department. I would have more to say but I am limited. Thanks for the awesome experience professor! -EM
Professor Wenson is an easy-to-understand math professor. This made learning discrete mathematics easy for me.
Clear what he expects from you. Funny guy that cares about what he does.
Clear what he expects from you. Funny guy that cares about what he does
Honestly such a great teacher, I never understood math but he the way he goes over notes is so helpful. He dumbs it down to a point where anyone could understand.Tests are simple. He provides a study guide a week before. You don't HAVE to go to class but obviously going helps. Do the homework, attend lecture and do the study guides. Easy A+
He is a true gentleman. The ZyBooks work is not very hard and his tests are even easier. He explains linear algebra so clearly and grades you on your knowledge on the process. Little picky things will not ruin your grade. Wenson is such a nice man and gives you constant reminders and feedback in Canvas inbox on your work and upcoming schedule.
Professor Wenson was super chill and made linear algebra easy for his students. Keep in mind the math part can be challenging but his exam structures made learning the chapter work super easy to follow, exactly what you need to know. I would recommend him fs!
The knewton gets annoying but overall his tests were pretty easy and simple he tells us what exactly will be on the test and how to do it
Professor Wenson truly cares about his students and sets us up for success. Lectures, although lengthy, are very informational. Tests mirror the OpenStax problems, and they're always fair. As long as you do the Knewton HW (which is all due at the end) and study for the exams, passing is guaranteed. Thank you for a great semester :)
I'll preface by saying this professor is an easy A. He provided sample tests with solutions that showed you exactly what you needed to know and study, the homework also covered more difficult topics then the tests so you'd always be prepared regardless. He uses zybooks for homework, which is cheaper then usual ones and unlimited retries.
4 total exams including the final exam. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but it helped coming to class a lot. He gives you a review before the exams which are almost exactly like the real one. Also very lenient on mistakes and grading. I am glad I had to have him I hope I can have Professor Wenson again.
This professor makes class pretty easy, the hw and exams are split 50/50 of your total grade. Extra credit opportunities on every assignment. He goes over exactly what will be on a exam the day before. He pulls practice problems from the book and slightly modifies them for the exam. Overall, if you put in basic effort you should pass with an A.
He takes complex topics and makes them simple to understand. He does review days before tests. Tests are very easy and you are always prepared for what's on it. funny and nice guy too.
Very nice/easy going guy and explains everything so much simpler. Great teacher overall would take him for all my math courses.
I love his youtube videos hes so good at explaining
Great professor. Is very clear about what he wants on tests. Has a great dry sense of humor. One of my favorite math professors I've taken for sure.
Professor Wenson is one of the best professor I had at Macomb Community College. His youtube videos about each sections were really helpful as he went through almost everything from that section. He always give a sample test before each actual tests. These sample tests really prepared you for the actual tests.
Professor Wenson is a skilled instructor with an excellent work ethic. Lectures are thorough, and all primary topics are effectively covered. Practice tests provide clear examples of what can be expected on exams, giving students the opportunity to be well prepared. I look forward to having Professor Wenson for another math course.
Best professor at Macomb Community College I've had by far.
He's kinda rude, not hard I just had to teach myself which sucked because his videos were meh
Amazing professor! He explains concepts clearly and has great handwriting, making learning easier. The grading is lenient, with manageable weekly online homework. Tests follow practice exams closely, making them easy to prepare for. He's also so sweet and kind to everyone. I never leave reviews, but he absolutely deserves one. Highly recommend!!
He's a great professor. During online class he gave us a reminder everyday something is due, so you won't fall behind. He does assign a lot of homework so be ready. He also posts videos on how to do everything. He does give extra credit through surveys and discussion posts. The final exam is in person and monitored. responds fast.
I thought this guy was ehh but then I took other classes and realized how much I took this guy for granted. He really does give you a bunch of leniancy.
There were no lectures with this course, but Mr. Wenson updated Canvas daily with weekly tasks. Online students must take an in-person midterm and final exam. There was no need to buy the math book-it's provided for free. Some topics do get tough, but staying on top of the work will help you succeed. Mr. Wenson was exceptional at teaching overall.
Really simple class. He gives small lectures on each subject but breezes through them and shows lots of examples. Kind of an awkward guy but he is funny. Just take simple notes and you'll do great. Also - only a couple assignments per week and they're accessible through canvas on any device.
Good math professor. Responds to emails quickly. Can be rude if you're disrespectful, but is fine otherwise. Lecture is him working through material on the board and explaining the formulas. About 2-3 hours of online homework (Knewton) a week, add another 3 hours if you're studying for one of the 4 quizzes. Never had any problems with him.
Professor Wenson is a fantastic professor for Calc 1. His lectures are straight to the point and he does plenty of examples. He provides very useful practice tests which also provides you extra credit on the exam. The only negative is that he had us use Knewton Alta which sometimes took hours to do the homework, but would prepare you for the test.
I really enjoyed taking Wenson's class. His teaching style is calm, focused, and subtly funny. While he isn't big on small talk, he responds well to the effort and energy students bring to class. His notes are clear and thorough, and they helped me succeed in the course, even though math is not my strong subject. I would definitely take him again.
