sucks!

Nice guy. Very vague in teaching.

Worst teacher I've ever had. Rarely discusses anything at all statistically significant and is the most offensive and politcally incorrect so-called professor I've ever come across.

He doesn't mention a single thing from the book and he goes on and on about his own stuff. I wouldn't reccomend this prof to anyone.

welll...if u can choose another, go and find another instructor. for someone who is going to take his psyc stats class, i wish u good luck. his explanation sucks. if u want to ask him to clarify some consept, he will make u more confused than before.

this class so damm hard. i mean really hard. if you have to choose between this class and anoter go for the other. he missed so many classes that all the students were lost. half the class failed.

One of the most gleefully unhelpful people I've ever come across. Uses his classes to rant and vent about the world and his life, rarely teaches, and just says that his stories are somehow statistically significant to try and appear like he's teaching.

as far as im concerned, im looking to take Psych 300 elswear

Don't need to know math for PSYCH 300. Make friends early and get a study group once a week and MAYBE you'll get C. Don't expect Wilson or the psych lab people (Gerry + Melissa) to help you at all. Don't waste time going to class, learn it on your own.

Don't need math.Tests are hard.I wonder why he is teaching (shld just do his psych practice), doesn't care about students, doesn't return phone calls.Wastes time telling stories in class and always ends class early.Doesn't teach!

NO offence, but he can't teach NO MATTER WHAT U READ! Let me tell you the failing and drop out rate in this class has a higher PROBABILITY (is that even the right term...dont't know didnt learn anything)then the entire college....B ware!

Does not appear to enjoy his job. Does not reply to e-mails nor return phone calls. I never learned anything in class. If it had not been for the 2-pointer surprise quizes, I would have not bothered to go to class. Learned everything on my own.

His undying love for Martha Stewart is kinda amusing, but either than that this guy is horrible! I've grown to hate his outgoing attitude b/c he has RUINED psychology for me! He doesn't teach ANYTHING. And the book DOESN'T help as much cause his tests are so broad, short, and useless. Stay away!

Scott is useless, has no teaching style and never returns calls or shows up for office hours: extremely annoying when you need help. His comments like your stupid if you don't know this stuff are uncalled for. Can't figure out why he is still teaching, the only good thing: he lets you out early.

Worst teacher I've had. I skipped half his classes and still manage to pull a B-, 3/4 exams are multiple choice and I remember almost nothing of what he taught with his chicken scratch writing on the board. He keeps telling students "if you don't get this, don't go to the final exam" nice enthusiasm

This is a hard class and the teacher won't help you if need it. Overall this was a BAD experience. But he does have a good sense of humor. Scott should be a stand up comedian not a teacher.

Scott Wilson was one of the worst teachers I've ever had. He has a great personality and is very funny but unfortunately his teaching style is awful. I taught statistics to myself thru the text..Very Hard! He talks about celebrities and his life the whole class and his lectures are all over the place. I do not recommend him at all for statistics

HE SUCKS!!!!!! don't take him. He doesn't teach anything. you have to teach yourself in this class. He is useless.

Do Not Take him. He does not teach any stats in the class. He just wants to get his life and his wife stories off his chest. The poor students who pay a fortune to come to school and learn? Good Luck. If you enjoy an informative lecture, dont take him. I bought the book, and I taught myself the chapters.

If you can avoid it...DO NOT take his class. He is the worst teacher I have ever had. He does not teach anything that is on the test and all he talks about are his life stories. You have to teach yourself the material to do well in the class! BAD!!

boy do i ever wish i had checked this site BEFORE spending $300 to listen to this guy up on his horse blabbering about his wife and his nice car and all the 'jerks' and wackos that he comes across. i really wish there was a way to make a formal complaint because i have never felt so ripped off in my life.

waste of time and effort. Almost everyone bombs his tests.

I pitty the fool that takes this course! no seriously.. his tests are ridiculously hard and basically no one passes. Give yourself and your GPA a break and find a better prof

This class will destroy your GPA, your confidence, and your love for psychology.

very hard to understand, confusing when lectures, assumes you already know material and will say make sure you know "that" what is that....

If you want to understand statistics and receive a decent mark….then do not take his class. Class average after 2nd exam was 55%. He is not helpful and expects students to read the book and teach themselves, lectures are NOT useful for learning.

This teacher is an amazing statistician, and only that. He sucks at teaching, 1st test (out of 31 students) 21 failed, 2nd test same, 3rd test 27 out of 31 students failed. He is insanely tough and only does the math part in class, everything else he grades you on is tested, class average is a D-, the course is self taught, take at your own risk.

You have to attend class solely to obtain homework assignments, which are handed out at the end of every class. You basically have to teach yourself everything. Hopefully you did well in your past stats classes...

He wont talk about anything you need to learn and on tests you're going to get the most random questions that have no relation to what you're learning and you will fail.

Get's off topic far too easily, hardly discusses relevant course material and his slides are basically useless. Test questions are hardly relevant or from random side boxes in the textbook. He also won't help you prepare for them so get ready to teach yourself. Worst professor I have ever had, would not recommend to anyone.

He talks a lot about pointless things. I hated this class and it was my first class in post-secondary. Worst experience especially when he talks down to his students. Always thinks he is a self obsessed human being.

took intro to psych with him my first semester and hated it. I later took it with another prof and enjoyed the class so much. his teaching style is very lecture heavy and it was difficult to follow with the text, he seemed to veer away from the text and teach completely different concepts so if you're not taking detailed notes you're probably not

If you decided to take his course, it's better to study by yourself. Honestly I have no idea why he's lecturing, I feel like he's just there to give a grade. Messy PowerPoint, Hard-to-understand lecture. However you're responsible all the text material which is not covered in the lecture. As he mentioned in syllabus, 1/3 of student will struggle

Do not take him for psych stats. Horrible class

Do not take this prof! He begins first 20 minutes of class talking about Donald Trump and/or drugs and his life before teaching. No notes, no power points, only stories of no at life. If you want to learn, do not take his class because you will be learning out of the textbook. Do not take this class

honestly all he did was talk about true, his wife and chocolate ice-cream

Lectures are besides the point. Rambles on about other stuff. Extremely disorganized. Reading the course outline is already a challenge with his style. Essentially, you can skip the lectures and rather spend the time by yourself, reading through the book and the explanations he uploads on blackboard. Ignore his talk and read if you wanna do well!

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS STAY AWAY... I made an account to let u guys know not to take anything with this teacher. Very exam heavy, lectures are horrible, 4 exams a project and a paper.. Exam questions are very hard , class average now it around 40 percent. Grading criteria makes no sense at all , the class is made to be harder than it has to be .

The class is laid out as if you are a PHD in psychology , takes all the fun out of the content, its as if he thinks students are taking only his class with the amount of work. Currently in 4 classes but it feels like 6 because of this class. Even if you need this teacher to fit your schedule do yourself a favour and stay away

Lectures are very unclear and can be confusing. Tests are based off lecture notes and text book examples.

You NEED the textbook. I found that it was my only way of actually learning the material. I had to teach myself, EVERYTHING. His lectures are very uninformative, he rambles a lot about his own life, that has nothing to do with the course. He doesn't check e-mails. I would not recommend him to anyone. He is a nice person but not a good teacher.

All he talks about is how much he hates Jay-Z and gang bangs. I could've made a drinking game out of it every class no joke. He gives so many tests and the questions don't make sense. I asked for help to bring up my mark, all he said was do assigned work (which was two things), and i still failed. he doesn't care.

If I wanted to learn the textbook on my own I wouldve taken an online course. Lectures are unclear and confusing. If hes going to give 4 exams in one semester at least put in the effort to teach us something.

I didn't even know professors like him existed he is truly the worst prof I've ever seen. You don't need to go to class to learn anything cause all he does is talk about his personal life stories and opinions. Also if you are religious at all be prepared for him to call it ridiculous. Right from the start he tells the class that we r going to fail

Regret not checking rate my prof before registering for his class. Be prepared to read every chapter of the textbook thoroughly because this is a self taught course. His exams are all over the map - the class average of our first exam was 55% and he said that it was a "good average." basically, he doesn't care if you pass or fail.

He spends the entire class talking about himself. Most of his sentences end in "but that's just my humble opinion." You have to read the textbook if you even remotely want to pass it's basically a self-taught class. I swear he's only teaching the class to talk about himself. Find a diff prof this one is terrible.

Be prepared to teach yourself everything, I mean EVERYTHING. His lectures are all over the place. He tells a lot of stories, gets distracted or off topic really easily.

DONT TAKE HIS CLASS he is completely useless at actually TEACHING you the information and talks in useless anecdotes for way too long. I had to teach myself this entire course from the textbook and Khan Academy, and in class discussions were the only thing that actually helped, as long as he wasn't part of it. Leaves during exams?

it is true, he is terrible. you don't need to take notes because he posts all of his slides online. you can try to study off of them but they are just pictures and random words with no explanation. for the first exam, I studied his notes and every chapter word for word, and still got 63% on the exam. 85% of the class is at a failing grade rn

Well, I had him for introductory psychology 1100, oh man was he a gong show. I will never forget how much reading from the textbook i had to do to understand the concepts, just to read the opposite of what we learned on his test. On one hand he is very understanding if you personally speak to him. But overall I would not recommend this professor.

Half of each class is spent with inane stories that barely relate to the material, and the other half on a slideshow that you have to memorize on top of the textbook material. He doesn't want a demonstration of you understanding the material presented, he wants you to memorize and regurgitate his words.

Absolutely horrible. Avoid this prof like the plague. Three hours a week of hearing about how he loves skiing and hates weed. Thanks, but that's not gonna help me memorize the subcortical structures.

If you need a good GPA don't take his class, he regularly brags about failing students. Struggle class. Very educated and smart professor but don't let that fool you - he does not teach in a way students can learn. Will go off on a tangent on crackheads for most of the class. His slides contain almost nothing and what they do contain is minimal.

Would not recommend. Basically had to teach myself everything in hopes of being able to pass this course. His slides were not very informative and did not prepare you for tests. His test questions also did not make any sense. Had to re-read the questions at least 4 times before I sort of understood what he was asking. Would not take again 0/10

Honestly don't even bother wasting ur time or money. Powerpoints are a mess that has nothing to do with his "Lab's" pretty much doesn't know how to use technology and should be doing some sort of zoom class instead. he jumped right into psyc like as if we all know what exactly we're learning and as if we have 100% knowledge on everything he said

Poorly worded test questions full of errors

please don't take this course with this specific prof. Trust a stranger! DO NOT take this profs course!

This the most problematic and disturbing teacher I've ever had. His opinions and views on mental health are completely outdated and offensive. He consistently made derogatory comments about people with mental health issues and belittles the struggles addiction. This kind of harmful rhetoric when presented as scientific fact is extremely damaging.

I read the bad reviews and ignored them. He does the bare minimum with the notes and teaching and expects you to get it yourself by revising. Does not teach anything and tests are extremely hard and cumulative. The syllabus only has test dates on it. Gives random assignments with no clear grading criteria or information. This was truly a mistake .

He literally did the bare minimum and I was learning nothing because all his online lectures had voice overs that had nothing to do with the content and instead was just his philosophy on life. The class was awful and boring.

DO NOT TAKE HIM For stats, his tests are soo complicated they stray away from what you actually learn in textbook, its basically self taught course so get ready to read your textbook for hours cut his PowerPoints are horrible! waste of money and time

Scott is an absolute disaster. online lectures were approx. 90 minuets however if we were in person we would have had over 24 hours of lecture. Emailed voicing my concern and was told to just figure it out and read the textbook. Turns out his tests stray far from the textbook with many mistakes and intentionally confusing questions. DO NOT TAKE :(

This was one of if not the worst class I have ever taken. I self taught all the material with the textbook and a tutor. If you learn best via instructor do not take this course. Very minimal material given maybe 5-7 slide powerpoints and no actual instruction. Exams were all conceptual and answers were confusing. If you can avoid I would!

Worst prof ive had in college. posted powerpoints for material but didnt describe anything in them and was often off topic, was unclear about the final and many other aspects of the class. you have to teach everything to yourself. only good thing was the tests were very conceptual so barely did any math/ equasions. RUDE OVER EMAIL

Do NOT take Wilsons class unless you want to watch hours of PowerPoints that dont help on the tests at all.

Do NOT take Wilsons class unless you want to watch hours of PowerPoints that dont help on the tests at all. Have fun listening to: this is painting, it is very beautiful and it looks like a rhino. He seems to get very off topic in all his lectures and wont stop talking about vaping and marijuana. This class was online and wasnt very organized.

DO NOT under ANY circumstances take this course. He belittles those with mental health issues, substance abuse etc. with his outdated views. Online lectures take approximately 4 hours to digest with little to no information. Waste of time and very unprofessional over email. Should not be teaching under any circumstances.

Unprofessional and arrogant. Haphazard course structure, crammed in a single power point slide. No response to emails. Zero effort in clearing doubts. No actual lectures, expects students to rely on textbook and his old lab manual. Mixes and recycles old material in exams, resulting in answer choices that don't make sense. AVOID at all costs.

He is the worst prof I've ever had! Instead of having class, he uploads funny PowerPoints in which he praises himself in every other slide (not joking) and mentions how well-educated he is! If you have the option to take the class with anyone else, do it!

doesnt teach. goes on and on about himself and is very biased when it comes to poc. weird obsession with michelle obama its giving very much racism.

Unclear syllabus, loves to talk about himself, worthless powerpoints, the questions in his exams make little to no sense, and he rambles, rambles and RAMBLES. Honestly, if you dont have any other options for this course then just be prepared to live by the textbook. I still recommend you to attend class so that you don't miss anything.

There are 3 multiple choice test and 1 written test fairly easy. And 1 chapter summary essay. The tests are very weird make sure u understand the basics and take good notes in class cause it will show up on the test. If you study the powerpoints, listen to the lecture and read the text book you will be fine.

To study for the test make sure you read the text book. And do not dwell on knowing the definition word by word. Just learn the basics behind it. And make sure you listen to the powerpoints and take good notes as well as his in class lectures. If you do all this you wont do bad in his class

Im not sure why the other rating mention he has pop quizzes he doesnt so dont be alarmed.

He goes very off topic talking about his own stories and his accomplishments that have nothing to do with the lecture or upcoming tests. Lectures can be entertaining since he does tell so many stories but you will not learn much from his lectures. His test questions are very irrelevant and very difficult so getting a good grade is near impossible.

Most of his lectures are just stories about himself and have no relationship with any of the course material. Also likes to materialize last minute assignment due the same day of the exam. Most of the material was self-taught as he offers little support and his statistical manual offers zero guidance other than a wall of text. Avoid if you can.

took this class a program requirement, do not recommend him at all! he goes off topic and rambles so much. when he actually does "teach" he'll read over his short slides and that's pretty much it. overall just be prepare to read the textbook and teach yourself! (all his stats teaching is conceptional).

DO NOT TAKE AT ALL COSTS, AVOIDDDDDDDDDDD AVOIDDDDDDDDD

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASSSSSSS PLEASEEEEEE HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HES TALKING ABOUT
