I think Dr. Wisner is helpful, yes this is a hard class, but he is lenient on the project. He has a lot of math problems on his exams, and time is a big issue, so if math is not your strong suit then DO NOT take this course in the summer. Otherwise I thought it was easier then it could have been.

This is the worst class and worst professor ever. Yeah, he lets you use notes on the test, but they don't help because the answers on his tests are different that what's in the book or on his slides.

The class material is pretty dry and he really doesn't help it. He gives you a cheat sheet for the test but he doesn't really help you prepare for the test. He focuses so much on the problems, but the problems only end up being about 25% of the test. That doesn't seem right to me. He is helpful on the project but it's only 15% of your grade.

Lectures rarely have anything to do with slides in class, & rarely have anything to do exams. Prof. asks questions meant to trick you on exam. Best way to get a good grade in this class is to read the book, go to his office & ask him questions to clarify & go to all classes like me! You do get a cheat sheet, but the questions are still very tricky.

Ok. here is how to succeed in his class. 1. Copy all lecture notes onto the cheat sheet.

Funny teacher who knows his stuff. My complaint comes from the fact that he does not "teach" you how to do the mathematics in the course. He simply shows you the equation and tells you how to use it.

Wisner is a really good Professor, optional extra credit for attendance + extra credit. You need to read the chapters to do well on exams, allows cheat sheet 8.5x11 with anything you want for exams. Show up for exam reviews, read, do the homework & youll get an A. He cares about his students.

My class was a hybrid, so the only times he had class was for test or reviews. Grade consists of 3 tests and homework. This class isnt a breeze, your going to have to do a lot of studying. Professor wants everyone to do well and provides all the tools to pass, but makes you work for it. He also gives extra credit opportunities.

After attending two classes, I stopped showing up besides for the reviews. Go to the reviews, make notecards off of the slides, do the quizzes on Webcampus, and you will pass. He's just not very interesting, found it very hard to stay awake. He wrote the book, so he's constantly saying buy it. However, I didn't crack it once.

Easy class. I only went on test days after realizing there was no reason to go to the other classes. You won't need the book because all of his slides are provided online, and they are taken from the book. You get a huge cheat sheet as well so it is easy to get a good grade!

Everything boils down to 3 tests. He goes over powerpoint all class, and if you ask a question, he will likely not be able to answer it. This was the problem I had. I am a physical learner, and he was the worst professor of my college career. I could learn only from the book, because he was so bad at explaining how to do the math portions.

He was good professor. You are not required to go to class and his exam is really easy and you can bring a cheat sheet.

Had to learn the class on my own. Tests are 95% of grade and theres only 3. He makes the math way more confusing than it is.

Professor Wisner is awesome. His lectures are super important and the book is a great resource. Don't miss class, he awards free points for showing up to class which can account for 5% extra credit. Older professor but he doesn't let age slow him down! Exams account for most of your grade but they are easy if you study and he allows a cheat sheet.

3 non-comprehensive exams, 16 quizzes, iClicker participation, and one extra credit paper. The exams are worth 90% of your grade. The iClicker questions are optional. If you do well with them, they make up 5% of your grade. If you decide to not do them, the exams are worth 95% of your grade instead. Quizzes are 5%. The extra credit can be 5%.

Professor Wisner is one of the best professors I've taken at UNLV, really cares about his students. Tests are not difficult, study hard and you'll get an A.

The book was sold heavily since he wrote it, but I don't feel it was necessary. I only used it for the first exam. The professors lectures were great and really informative. I watched them in 1.75x speed because he speaks slowly though. Overall a pretty easy class. 3 exams, non cumulative.

He tests and quizzes you on stuff from the book not his lectures quite often. That being said, his book (over Cognella) is complete garbage. The Bookstore Vitalsource website never works, so how am I supposed to read the book?
