Mr. Wilson has been the best professor Ive had while at SJR. I enjoyed the way he structured his notes and handouts, which were easy to understand and navigate. For a person like me who isnt particularly strong in math, his classes were the right amount of challenging without being overwhelming. His humor also made the class fun and engaging.

I have always struggled in math, and typically barely scrape by with a passing grade. However, Mr. Wilson is funny, involved, and an overall great professor. His lectures are helpful as he will go in depth to make sure you understand the concept, and its importance in real life application. Best prof ever!

Mr. Wilson is great! Math is not my strongest subject. Mr. Wilson made sure everyone understood before he moved to the next section. All his reviews have worked out answers attached. He is always available for help, with an open door policy. Review exam 10%, 4 test (drops lowest test grade) and final exam 25%. He cares about you passing.

100 questions per homework that will be worth very little of your grade. 5 question tests that are worth the majority. Giving you 1 week to complete 4 assignments, which is fine, if not for the fact the assignments are graded so critically. Wouldn't take again if it was the last class required to graduate!

350 letters is no enough to show my disdain. I took his class as an extra math credit, after having taken Calculus 3 at a private institution out west. Every night was hours upon hours of studying because his way is right, and my way (which is used by my father, a mathematician himself) is wrong for the reason of "it's not my way" DO. NOT. TAKE!

He genuinely cares for EVERY student and is always open to help you if you are struggling. He is very approachable which can be a rare quality when it comes to professors. His class is not necessarily easy but if you pay attention and work hard then you will not have a problem. Professor Wilson is the best of the best!

Mark Wilson is not a man you take if you like detail; he's the man you take if you can be told the overarching concept and grasp it. He's fast, studious, and expects all his students to have the same dedication and know-how he does. He will NOT help you. If you want that, Mark Wilson is your choice. If jovial is more your liking, take John Metcalf.

Professor Wilson is AMAZING! Took him for calc 1 and calc 2 and made an A in both.... people complaining are just mad because its calculus... put in the work and youll be fine. Metcalf is also amazing... but so is Wilson. SJRS has great math professors. I will very happily be taking Wilson for calc 3 and ordinary diff equations (calc 4)

Professor Wilson is the best math professor I've had. He explains everything in detail in a way that everyone can understand. He tries to give out 10 homework and 5 tests in the semester. The homework really helps with the test as they cover the material that will be on the test. Professor Wilson is a great professor that I will take again.

Math is difficult for a lot of people, but he made it bearable. Great sense of humor, and willing to take as long as you need to make sure you understand. He really is great at his job and I enjoyed my time in his class. It is homework heavy, so make sure you stay on top of that. Another teacher that I wish I could have for my next class!

Textbook only for additional practice problems. Provides guided notes for lectures, with study guides for every test. I would recommend Professor Wilson for Cala classes.

Every Math class I've been in requires an absurd amount of homework & that is my only complaint. He is the only professor that I feel takes his time making sure you understand, even if extra time in class is needed. He is a wonderful instructor and I've taken many math classes with none of them ending happily. 10/10

Seriously the best professor I've ever had, hands down. He can be a little tough at times, but if you come to class and work through everything, you'll be just fine. He is incredibly generous with his time both inside and outside of class. Professor Wilson is legendary at SJR for a reason; and it's not just for his hookshots.
