Comment:
Worked my ass off in this class! I believe the highest grade possible is a B! Presentations start the following week of the first day of the semester. You have to do 8 4-pg case studies and 3 presentations. Wilcox can sometimes be hard to relate to given that he is a geriatric! Overall, very insightful class that introduces you to real-life scen

Comment:
This class is more about time management than anything else. He is extremely knowledgeable and super nice. Attendance is not at all mandatory except when turning in case studies or on presentation days. He is pretty easy unless you have trouble getting things done efficiently. It IS a lot of work but overall, great class.

This professor is an expert in the subject. He teaches from the book which isn't anything bad because he wrote the book. He grades fairly and gives you good feedback. He has a good sense of humor and is one of the nicest professors I have had.

He depends entirely on the book. An original thought does not exist in that man's mind. If you want to pass the class, remember every letter of every word of every sentence typed in the book.

Comment:
You can lulled into thinking you don't need to show up for class, because his tests are so heavily based off of the reading. Nice guy, experienced and helpful. WARNING his tests were very difficult. Very technical questions that were from the book. Take notes and read I guess. I got a B-, but I was expecting a lot better.

Get ready to work in this class. He knows his stuff, since he's written textbooks used in PR 190&191. Pick his brain, and he'll give you great advice. Kind of rough on students giving presentations though. Tough grader on papers too...lots of papers!

8 papers, 2 presentations, 1 group presentation, 2 discussants. Tough class if you cant manage your time. Wilcox can be tough to relate to due to age and career/experience differences. He offers lots of help on cases. Not too hard of a grader on papers if you show good research. Peers grade presentations.
