I take his ESL388A this fall.He is a really good teacher. Always help you if you have problem understanding something.test are quiet hard if you dont do your homework properly. He gives daily Homework and ask us to do lots of essays. But you will find it helpful. Go to ur website and enrolled in this class fast !

Professor Wilson is the best ESL teacher I have ever had. He makes the class very fun, very easy, and very dynamic. He works very hard for you to understand the lecture. He is very creative in the way he teaches to his students; he is a very hard worker. You will learn a lot from him in his class.

I'm so glad that I took his class. Jeff is amazing in his lecture and super hot. He prepares students well to WR201 and WR1. After taking his class 81A, I got into WR201. The novel that he teaches is marvelous. I highly recommond for ESL students to take his class if you really want to know how to write well.

He is the best teacher I have ever had. I think he should teach his style to other teachers because his approach is very successful. His class has variety of activities that makes the class fun while it is fruitful. He is very respectful at the same time serious. I can say not a minute of his class is wasted. I recommend him %100.

he professor is easy, and he does not provide that much help. He talks a lot about himself. I have found that he can be very rude to specific type of students. I would have any other professor teach me. Poor quality overall. I think the high numbers are based on passing students and favoritism of individual students. Good Luck learning from him.
