Mr. Wilson is a cool guy. It's rare nowadays to step into an English class and not get intimidated by a grumpy and difficult instructor. Wilson is NOT one of those instructors. If you're careful with your grammar and try to write with details using your imagination, then an A is well within reach.

Professor Wilson is awesome! His essays are not too difficult. 4 in class and 4 out of class. He does his very best to help you. He's very approachable and cares about his students. Answers any questions you may have. Lectures are not boring, keeps his class insterested, very clear, easy going. I definitely recommend him to anyone.

Professor Wilson is GREAT: I took him for all ENGL 1A/B/C - his stories are very inspirational - gives great advice - very understanding (when it comes to grading, too) - listens to all of your participations (yes, he counts them for points) - helps you improve your writing bit by bit - gives pop quizzes if no one in the class did their reading

He does give quite a bit of work compared to other instructors I've heard about (especially the online instructors at SJCC). 3-4 in class essays, 3-4 out of class, 1 research paper and/or 1 department final. No dept final for 1C. All those essays will sharpen up your writings (since he gives a lot of good feedbacks to help you improve).

Only take his class if you feel you're ready for the challenge. All the essays will push your limits and test your writing skills. In the end, it's all worth it. I took the WST for SJSU once and passed with an 8. I came to his class in 1A not knowing how to write, and he really helped me until the end of 1C. He's a very inspiring professor!

Prof Wilson is such a nice professor, however he isn't clear as to what his grading criteria is and he doesn't help you improve your writing at all. I had to go back to him multiple times about my grade and he would only give me a brief explanation as to why I got such a grade. He's very lenient, don't get me wrong, but he won't teach you anything

I took Prof Wilson's Monday night class. The class environment was very chill and even though participation is recommended, it's not required. We summarized 1 article, analyzed 2 articles, wrote 1 research paper, and was assigned 1 group project to specifically talk about issues in California. The workload isn't bad - just do the work he gives you.

Great lecturer and very interesting to listen to. Funny too. Don't ever mess up on a single assignment if you want an A, because there are very few of them. He does not help you with writing papers b/c you should already be good at writing at this point. Basically impossible to contact (he sucks at technology) unless you go to his office hours.

He's super funny; I don't remember a single boring class. He grades only by the few papers he assigns and the tests he gives, but I think he's a fairly easy grader. He just doesn't give any feedback. If you want to contact him using technology, good luck. Overall just a very enjoyable class if you put in the effort. Easy and fun A.

Nice and easygoing. Need to participate for points which will also help raise your grade by the end of semester if you don't do well in essays. The rest of your grade is dependent on 3 exam essays, 4 out of class essays, and a Final essay. Read a few stories/works before class and discuss/answer some questions. He gives great, sincere commentary.

I enjoyed being in Professor Wilson's class. Be sure to participate in class discussions about the assigned readings. He will let you watch the movie instead of reading the book for some stories. He provides an outline for in-class timed essays which was very helpful to prepare for the final essay. He's a kind, genuine man who is a fair grader.

Class can be boring, reading literature the whole time with no homework assigned, just a couple of out of papers due which we are given 2-3 weeks to do. A couple timed exams that do not need to go to class can do from anywhere and can leave after. Class is very easy towards the end of the year so we can focus on other classes. Very nice and loving

Professor Wilsons English 1B class has readings every week. Class is pretty relaxed and is more of a discussion than a lecture. Assignments are essays in the 1st half of the semester but Professor Wilson will start to reduce the amount of work towards the end to have time for students to balance other classes. He has a lot of valuable input.

I took his professor for English 1c and he was very rude, this class was more of a history class than an English class. Many essays are due for this course, but his grading is fair. I wouldn't take him again just because of the number of times he yelled at our class for "getting off-topic" when he would start the lectures on world wars.

Prof. Wilson is by far the best English professor I've had. He genuinely cares about what he teaches, he's funny, & grades amazingly fast. Show up with you're homework done and you're set. If you don't do your homework beware of pop quizzes. The only thing I would suggest (this is more for him if he reads this) is giving more feedback when grading.

Prof Green is a good English teacher, and he spaces out the workload to give you enough time to focus on other classes near the end of the semester. He doesn't always give feedback on essays, and is a bit of a tough grader. Lectures can be a little boring but he's passionate about teaching, and teaches good skills for writing better essays.
