The girls all said he was hot or something of the sort, i just thought he was a great teacher. skeptical going into class because i thought philosphy was all stoner b.s., but his class was very clear, concise and he was very helpful in understanding key terms. one of the textbooks, "a splinter in your mind" was great. great teacher.

He is a little spastic but a great teacher. Very knowledgable in his subject.

everything was kickass

He is such an amazing teacher! He explains things very clearly and is able to make the subject extremely interesting. I was dreading taking philosophy, but if I had taken his class two years ago I may have majored in it, cause now I love it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this professor!

very good teacher, but like all philosophy classes, it requires really deep thinking...expect to get a B from Prof. Wilson

Dude...he is hot. I think its the veggie diet, and prolly a little neurosis that keeps him looking good. But as a class it does require a good amount of work, go to class take notes and read...the usual. The matrix book was interesting but the other one literally put me to sleep. Nice guy and a good teacher overall.

Yea he's hot. And his class isn't that hard. He gives you the test questions for both tests at the beginning of the semester. They're essay tests but not that hard.

awesome.

Cool guy. Class is relatively hard but if you do the extra credit, he'll push your grade over the top. I had like an 84 and with extra credit, he gave me an A. Good professor.

Awesome teacher! Incourages discussion with the class and is very good and explaining complicated concepts.

For an intro philosophy class, it was pretty interesting. He focuses on the metaphysical aspects of philosophy. Tests are essay, but you get the questions ahead of time. He teaches this class based on the Matrix Trilogy...kinda geeky but what more do you want from PHIL 1305? Very easy, all you have to do is think. He's ok looking, but not hot.

Doesn't use the Matrix books any more but still a great professor. He's dorky in a cute way & goes off on funny tangents. He knows his stuff & makes it interesting & really likes student comments. Makes you think outside the box & made me like philosophy when I used to hate it. TAKE HIM- 1 textbook vs. ~5 w/ other profs. Essay exams & MC final!

he's a good teacher, he just gets pissed off when people don't think before they ask. study and you should atleast get a B. it takes work for the tests, but the class gets interesting especially if you can keep discussions going and not just sit there expecting to get something out of the class.

He makes it interesting and is a fair grader. Plus he's kinda cute so you'll actually want to go.

He is a good professor. I thought the Matrix book was probably the dorkiest thing ever. You have to take notes though and it should be a super easy A

Interesting Class, great prof. gives oppurtunity for bonus points and retakes or make-ups. Gives essay test but grades fairly.

hands down...great prof

He was a really interesting teacher, and you have essay tests. You aren't required to go to class, but if you don't, good luck reading and understanding your philosophy book!

Paul is a great teacher I had him for the first summer session and it was good. Although you might disagree with some of the topics the lectures were interesting. He gives you 3essay exams and 1m.c quiz and the final is m.c. He even offers a make up quiz. I would suggest him to anyone.

Overall he led an interesting class. Unfortunately, he can get easily off subject when in a discussion. I recommend taking his class because as long as you put forth a little effort you'll get at least a B.

Phil is the one class Ive been postponing. I thought it was going to be extremely boring and hard, but Wilson made it a lot easier. I thought I was gonna fail my midterm writing exam and I ended up making a 85. I made A's on all my papers after barely putting forth effort. If you read and have common sense, u'll do fine. Wilson is laid back, TAKE!

Wilson likes to hear his own voice...a lot. I'm not really his biggest fan, but for a required class, I guess he'll do. Be prepared to work a little harder than you should for a freshman level course.

Take him for Philosophy during the summer. You don't really need the book, you should be able to get an A/B.. Seriously

i found prof wilson hard to follow a lot of the time. he seemed to word things a lot more confusingly than he had too. his essays weren't as hard as i expected them to be. the midterm is an essay of one of three questions. you don't know which you will have to write until you sit down to write it. i thought i failed the midterm but got an A-...

Overall a great teacher. Helps out whenever. The only difficult things are the quiz. Get/take all notes, & read if you dont understand & you will do fine. Very helpful in the midterm essay & the paper. I thought I failed both, but didnt. Class is not hard, but you seriously have to work for your grade. Awesome teacher!!

Interesting class, overall good prof. The quizzes and essays are a bit tough--but study and ask a lot of questions and you'll do ok. Really the only negative thing is that he's always out of chalk and he makes gross nasal sounds a lot. He knows his stuff and loves discussions. Good class but don't take it right around lunch.

Overall good professor, but the worse part of the class is the midterm. It's an in-class essay, 4 pages minimum in 80min, over confusing topics...not reccomended, but I think I will pass with a B.

I loved his class. At first it was difficult to follow his notes, but I got the hang of it quickly. Just know the class notes, I never bought the book. Grades pretty easy on the tests, anyone who got a bad grade clearly didn't study the right stuff. The guy next to me came to class maybe 4 times and still passed. Just study the class notes!!!

His class was not easy, but if you study really hard when it counts, you can make an A. I'm not an A student, and I pulled one out of his class.

He definitely gave me a much better grade than I earned, which helped me A LOT. He had something going on in his personal life but did not let it negatively impact his students aside from being a little late.

Paul is an awesome professor. He is very literal and hilarious. The quizzes are really hard in his class, but if you study your ass off for the essay exams, he will be a nice grader. If you ask for extra credit opportunities, he helps to provide them. I would definitely recommend taking this class, he really knows what he is talking about.

Wilson was a good professor. Not sure what all the problems are with him. Attendance was not required. I would recommend taking this class if you have strong writing skills, and are ok with essay exams. He gives you the exam questions before hand. I believe there were maybe 5 questions to study for, and you randomly receive two or three of them.

Not terribly organized but it didn't really impact the coursework a whole lot; resulted mostly in deadline extensions for papers. This is what a college class should be. Professor expects you to read the text but I found that reading was actually very rewarding because participating in class discussion was never dull. Would definitely take again!

I LOVE professor Wilson. I took him for ethics at ACC, and was SO happy to take him for 3351 at Texas State. His class focused on science fiction, and we watched a lot of movies and short clips to help understand the material. He's funny and attentive, and if he was offering anything else that I needed for credit, I would TOTALLY take him again.

Only professor I've taken more than once (Phil/Lit and Phil/Sport), and both times he was great. Picks good readings for his classes, but more often than not has his own outside materials (videos especially) to use in class anyways. Main grades come from papers, but as long as you show some thought on them you're fine.

Paul is funny. Philosophy is not for everyone but he makes class as fun as he can. Not really any "homework" besides a paper due at end of semester. But if you skip class and don't take notes it will be easy to be lost on test days (4). He is reasonable and will do his best to give you best possible grade granted you don't use your phone in class

I found Paul super entertaining, he made philosophy entertaining. this was a writing intensive class so we had an in class essay for a midterm which was probably the most stressful thing we did because you get three prompts prior to it and he'll randomly assign you with one, other than that if you go to lecture its an easy A

Just take notes in class and you'll be fine. Very few grades in grade book.

This class was fun to take! not too much work, but the work he gives is easy if you pay attention to lectures and read textbook. the class/material is really interesting.

Topics were very interesting. Just play his lectures on 1.25x or 1.5x speed. Essays are easy to write. Just pay attention to his lectures! Guy keeps it simple which is how philosophy should be.

Not many assignments so every grade matters. Gives make up quizzes with the same questions. Not proctored. Prompts are a tad confusing but doesn't grade hard whatsoever. The people complaining about difficulty just made it hard on themselves. Definitely would take again.

Very kind and straightforward with short video lectures and papers that assess if you get the general ideas.
