Comment:
She is brilliant (has degrees from Columbia, John Hopkins, and Harvard) but that does not mean she is interesting. Even Shankland could not stay awake in lecture. Her exams were more straight forward than in MCB 150. All exam material comes from her lectures. Pay attention to all the details. This class weeds out the weak. Free iClicker points.

Dr. Wilson is one of the best professors in the School of MCB. She genuinely cares about her students, and is an extremely fair grader. If you put in the effort she expects of you, you will do well. However, her classes are difficult. You have to work for your grade. But I enjoyed her classes enough to take every single one she taught at the time!

Comment:
Overall this class sucked. Tests were so hard it isn't even funny. And seeing as tests are almost the only grade for the class... Its a shame, because I may have enjoyed the class if it was not so difficult. The only thing that is good about the class is the curve. As for Wilson, all she does is reads off slides.

This class was harder than I had heard from others. The tests are super tricky with short answer questions at the end worth 1/3 of test grade. Everything is off the powerpoints, but there is SO much information. The quizzes are really tricky too, but if she gives practice probs def look at those.

Love, love, love this class! It is very difficult at first, but it enhances your problem solving techniques. I have learned more in this class than all my MCB courses combined. She is amazing, and knows her material. She actually makes you think and not just memorize and forget everything after the test.

This class is one of the hardest MCB classes I have ever taken and I put in a lot of time. It was totally worth it though. If you go to office hours, go to class, and do a lot of practice exams you will do great. I went from getting a 47% to a 95% on my exams and got an A in the class bc of Dr. Wilson's awesomeness!

I really enjoyed this class. People who say that it is too hard are just plain lazy. If you pay attention and/or go to office hours, you'll do great.

Be PREPARED TO STUDY!!! This class is one of the most difficult classes I have ever taken, but you will learn a lot. Study the practice exams and go to office hours to get the answers to these. Her test are essentially generated from these old tests.

This class was hard, but I learned more in it than in all of my other classes combined that semester. She knows her material, and has real life examples to back it up.

A knowledgeable teacher and does care about the education of undergrads- but not very considerate. Also has some very odd (outdated) notions about women in science.
