just go

If you got to him and ask for help he will pass you as long as he knows your trying. He does treat you like you are in elementary school. He is weird too, not that bad of a class, pretty easy as long as you try.

he's not THAT bad..and he is a sweet guy if you just get to know him. its math, so of course it sucks..but he trys to make it a little bit more upbeat. im not doing too good in his class but that is because i dont go much..so GO and go to his office hours and get help-he is always willing to help.

Mark Wilpolt is a little goofy BUT he genuinely likes what he's doing and he DOES make math more understandable. I found the class to be relatively easy--do your homework, go to class, etc. Don't believe the underachiever posts, he IS one of the better in the dept. and I've had most by now.

Look, I hate math, I'm bad at it, I always have been bad at it. But he teaches it so it's easy. SO EASY. And if I can get a good grade in that class, anyone should be able to; if you don't, you're just plain not trying. Go to his office hours if you have trouble.

Great teacher! Really cares about his students and is excited about math.

Fairly easy class if you have a little background in stats. He LOVES stats so hes very enthusiastic about what hes teaching. Tests can be a little tough, but studying will fix that. I would not say hes a bad teacher, but statistics isnt that difficult of a class to begin with

contrary to what most people said about this guy he's actually pretty good he goes very slow for the math unfriendly like me I haven't had a good grade in math in 8 years and I'm passing his class hows that for a helpful hint

this was a good intersession class to take because it was fast and fairly easy. I thought he did a good job teaching and loves what he does.

I also don't know what the rest of these ratings are about. Mr. Wilpolt is so a great teacher. He is a little quirky and he is a scatter brain but does teach clearly. If you go to class you shoud be set. He is always around for help and really enthusiastic. TAKE this professor if you could pass Alg. 2 in high school this will be a piece of cake.

Im really confused by everyone's rating. I have had him twice and think he was great both times. I hate math and to be honest I just dislike school in general so for me to like a class it takes a lot. Mark is extremely helpful and goes slow so everyone understands. He's very enthusiastic and incredibely entertaining. I recommend him to everyon

This class is easy if you come to class everyday and do all of the homework. The exams are exactly like the study guides and he offers tons of extra credit. He is a very nice guy and is always willing to help.

This guy is a teacher. I bombed his class but that was because I was too busy and rarely did the homework. You will do fine if you do the homework prior to every class. He doesn't deserve a single bad rating here. He's very opinionated and lets politics get in the way sometimes, but he is nevertheless an extremely good stats prof.

I had this professor for basic statistics. I had already taken the class the year before, but dropped out of it very early on because it was so borning. Mark Wilpolt is a very energetic teacher who is will to take time to help any student. He is very easy to get along with and makes class very enjoyable. His teaching style is very active.

Mark is a good teacher and shouldnt get any negative feed back. If anyone is even half-way serious about school they will get an A in his class because over all it is pretty easy. Go to class and stay current with homework and you should have no problem. Mark can be intense but its just because he is hyper and funny.

He sure loves math!

I don't care what hater students say, he is by far one of the best teachers. You have to be in class and actually try to do the work to get a decent grade! He's not a cake walk teacher, but he cares about how you do. He does his job well and will always make time to help you.

Good math teacher!

He's crazy. A lot of kids say they don't like him. Honestly he's hilarious though. He will go over something until you understand it.

Really easy and not that much HW at all.

He's really funny and teaches a lot about useful Math for the real world. Not that much work at all and totally worthwhile to go to class!

Attendance isn't mandatory but you've got to go to turn in homework. Kind of a weird guy but gets the teaching done even when the class doesn't respond to his questions. Going to his office hours is recommended. He can be a little intimidating at first but overall, he's a pretty good teacher. This is an easy class.

I'm not going to lie, its a hard class. HW everyday and a lot to take in, class was graded 60% HW 40% (4) Tests, attendance is mandatory but same with any other math class. He is very smart and will help you if he knows you're trying and you have a good attitude otherise he'll shrug you off saying "i'm too busy & u should go to tutoring instead"

The online homework allows you to get an answer wrong aand it will tell you the correct answer and you can fix your answer. You can get 100% on every assignment. However Wilpolt is very annoying. If there's two people talking he will yell at the whole room full of people for it. It's very distracting and unfair for the people who aren't talking.

He is a good teacher, a little quirky and slightly rude at times but not intentionally mean. If you work hard there is no reason you won't get an A and if you are open minded to a unique personality you will genuinely find him to be charming in his own way.

Tells you what he expects right off the bat. Returned emails quickly and as long as I was trying he was trying to help. I would take him again if I had the chance.

Very passionate teacher and he explains things pretty clear. As long as you pay attention and watch the online homework it's an easy class to pass.

While this guy was easily one of the rudest people I have ever come across in my life, I did learn a lot in his class. Each class day I felt like, while I HATED being there, I was learning the material. The online work was helpful as well.

If you are taking math 101 with him sign up in the ssc to get a tutor, this will help you pass this class with at least a B. The tutor will probably help alot more than mark because he expects you to put the time in learning the subject on your own time. You get plenty of time to finish homework, if you stay on track and get tutoring you're golden

Awesome teacher, some people cant appreciate teachers like mark because they think they are entitled. Mark is a great teacher take him!

This teacher is so helpful! Anytime i needed help all i had to do is see him during his office hours! So nice!

Amazing teacher, one of my favorite

I decided to take this class during my final year to get my degree and while I do hate math, it was doable. There are only three very short tests, weekly discussion class, and you must attend lectures because he collects clicker points. I still can't stand math, but he made this final math class not so torturous so for that he gets a good mark.

He is skilled at his subject and tries his best to explain it. He is also very helpful during office hours. Very nice and energetic but I think he does it to try to keep the class active because stats sucks. Only thing I hated was MyMathLab, the answers had to be so specific and the instructions weren't always clear. We only took 3 tests

I have taken 2 separate courses with Professor Wilpolt, and he has never let me down. He is extremely helpful and has a firm grasp on the material he teaches. He is hilarious! Spends as much time as is necessary for the majority of the class to understand concepts. Really puts effort into his classes. Awesome!

He is not that bad of a teacher. He explains a lot in his lectures because the course is designed to cover a lot of material in a small amount of time. He goes through multiple examples in class of how to do the homework problems. There is ample opportunity for help sometimes online and sometimes in person The class is not that bad.

He is a little wacky and full of energy but he does teach in a way that's easy to understand. Math was always a tough subject for me but I passed and actually understood statistics in this class. I took the online portion and only met inclass once a week.

I had to write a rating for Mark, bc almost all of his ratings are bad. He is a very helpful teacher, when asked a question he will answer it. I was hesitatant to take class because of poor ratings but I still enrolled. Only 3 tests, no quizzes, all hw online that gives you multiple chances to get answers right. Also gives all formulas w/tests

During lecture he talks as if students are stupid and children

I took stats in high school, and Mr Wilpolt is a much better teacher. He thoroughly explains everything you need to know for the tests. Sometimes he does get a bit frustrating when you try to ask a question, he'll run you in circles. Overall, I really understood the material with him as a teacher. Actively participate in class and do the homework!

We learned both in lecture and online. Tests were pretty straightforward and gave us practice tests beforehand. Wants you to pass and understand.

Take notes! He covers a lot of ground but I was able to keep up. Clicker questions, so showing up is very important. Lots of online homework, but nothing unreasonable. I found his explanations easy to follow, and I suck at math. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. Seriously. He posts the whole thing on the website. That's the only negative for me.

Taken Stats 101 with Mark and now i am taking Stats 105 and let me tell you this guy is freaking funny!!! My Stats 105 class only has about 35 kids, but the class is so funny. I enjoy math now thanks to Mark. To be honest show up to class, take notes, do homework, and study for tests. Overall an easy class to pass :)

The 1st day Mark states that if he were dictator of America he would confiscate all firearms and destroy them. However, don't be a snowflake and let his dictatorial personal opinion of our Constitution get in the way that he is a great stats professor. Clear, non-monotonous lectures; go to class, do HW , you'll pass. He prepares you for success.

This guy really loves what he does and it shows. Sometimes though it seems like he hasn't looked over the material and just kind of wings the lecture. His homework isn't overwhelming if you stay on top of it. His tests are exactly what you'd see on the test prep, no curveballs. Good teacher, great attitude.

I took Mr. Wilpolt's class at Butte College, and his class was wonderful! He makes stats fun and easy to learn if you attend lectures. He also has the lectures online in case you missed class. I have never gotten more than a C in my past math classes but I maintained an A all semester in this class.

I really liked Mark. His lectures were easy to understand, and he provided video lectures he made for Canvas. The lecture videos are as good as in-person lectures, so it won't really matter if you skip a day or two. He doesn't give out too much homework, too, and only assigns two weekly assignments. Plus, he's a funny guy!

Mark's MATH18 class is great - his lectures are clear and engaging, and the online videos are just as helpful if you need to miss a class. Use the free textbook, do the HW, and you'll cruise to an A. Unstuck AI also saved me some time when studying.
