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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
