Comment:

Chris is funny, and his class was entertaining. Assignments were very confusing but could be better understood if you attend his office hours. Hated class while it was going on, but now that I am done, I realize it could have been way worse. We had to write two 4-page papers the whole semester. I think I might miss his sense of humor...

Comment:

Not going to lie, Professor Wilsons eng1000 course is challenging for what it is. Some see him as sarcastic and sometimes rude, but it is never with malicious intent. YOU must READ directions! He docks a lot for errors. You need to show up to class or your grades will suffer. Not many assignments. Great guy to talk to during office hours!

Comment:

Worst professor I have ever had in college. Extremely rude and passive aggressive and defensive. Went to writing center for help and they couldn't even understand his assignments. Made class hard to go to because I was scared of him. Extremely hard to pass with an A. Got a 32 on my ACT writing portion and passed with a B. He made me dislike english

Comment:

Wilson is a super hard grader, but usually if he's "mean" in class it's for good reason. A lot of students in English 1000 don't take it seriously. I wasn't a fan of his teaching in 1000, but he was absolutely AMAZING in English 1310. I was so intrigued by every word he said. Also, he's super nice when you talk to him during his office hours!

Comment:

He is honestly really mean most of the time. He says how our generation sucks and everything a sad middle age man says. He also doesn't put grades up on canvas so you don't know what your grade is at all. Make sure you participate because a lot of points stem from that.

Comment:

Wilson is a funny guy and makes class a good time. But half way through the semester over half my class had a D or F. I talked to him and he told me a should take a W for the class and retake it. I did so and got a 100% with someone else (Carley Gomez). Get out of his class, he hands out grades as he feels, not what you have earned.

Comment:

You definitely have to do the reading to pass, but it's okay because the reading is interesting. He's very sarcastic and funny! I learned a lot from this class. He's very specific in his grading but if you pay attention in lecture you can easily pass. Your grade is based on three quizzes, one paper, and class participation. 10/10 would recommend!

Hardest class I've ever taken. He makes it impossible to pass. The highest grade on our first paper was a C. He only gives you 2 papers so get ready to fail.

Comment:

Prof Wilson has hands down taught me better than any other English teacher. Sure, he is a hard grader. But if you show him that you want to do well, by showing up to class, actually participating, and going to office hours, you can get an A. He wants to know that you're trying, and you will definitely become a better writer after this class.

He was the worst professor I've had here, he singles out individuals and you can work your butt off on an essay but he grades so hard for an English 1000 class.

Very sarcastic and can come off as rude but all around a good teacher and hilarious guy. If you don't read you're not going to do well but as long as you do and you pay attention in class, he's very clear on what you need to do to do well.

Comment:

lol I'm an honors student and I had a 4.0 first semester, and I have all A's in my classes except for this one. I'm literally pulling a low C because of how ridiculous his grading is. Yeah, he makes very valid points with what he grades. But, he takes off way too many points for small stuff. Wouldn't recommend; take another professor. Anyone else.

Do your best, turn in assignments on time, and you shouldn't get less than a B. He just wants to know you are trying.

I honestly never though I would enjoy a literature class until I took this one. He's humor is sometimes random but the sarcasm honestly it made the class so enjoyable. His lectures are actually interesting and he's a great guy He's a tough grader and expects a lot on tests and essays so take some really good notes.

Fantastic teacher. At first he came off as quite condescending/over the top, but he grows on you throughout the semester. He makes the class enjoyable and is very clear about what you need to do in order to do well. Would highly recommend taking a class with him.

In class he can be very in your face and rude, however; he is hilarious and really gets you interested in the class. You can miss up to four classes but highly not recommended you will miss a pop quizzes that are essential to passing. The entire class is 500 points. Going into office hours will surely help!

Comment:

Yeah he can be sarcastic and a bit condescending, but he's honestly one of my favorite professors. Get him alone and talking about something other than class and he's absolutely wonderful! He's passionate about you really leaning something, so he does grade hard. He basically gives you what you need to know for tests, and if you read you'll do fine

Professor Wilson is a funny, sarcastic guy. I actually didn't like him at first in the beginning of the semester, but he grew on me and he tries to make the class fun by sharing stories and being a jokester. As far as the class, I ended up with a low B. He is VERY SPECIFIC to what he wants on essays, which I guess makes it easier to do well.

Comment:

This is the WORST. TEACHER. EVER. PERIOD. I took AP English Comp in high school and received a B- but was unable to take the AP test. EVERY PAPER I HAVE GOTTEN BACK HAS BEEN A D OR LOWER despite working my ass off. Grading is totally unreasonable. When you want help he's not there. The writing lab is useless for this class, as is he. He's awful.
