Comment:

Lloyd Tom Wilson is a national treasure! If you memorize the powerpoints and pay attention to the lecture, you'll do just fine. Most days you'll leave class more confused than when you got there, but somehow it all comes together before his quizzes or final.

Comment:

Lloyd T Wilson is the love of my life. He's a tad monotonous but he makes the very dry topic of contract law more interesting. Get ready to memorize a bunch of tedious rules but, boy, what a view..

Comment:

Wilson is a great professor but is sometimes a little hard to understand. He tends to talk above the class at times instead of to a class. If you pay attention, you will do well. If you read, you will do well. Being prepared is a must in this class because you can fall behind very quickly.

Comment:

Very 1L friendly. He understands the difference between college and law school and tries to ease the transition. Good at tying together concepts into the big picture. His exam is pretty open-ended and he wants to you discuss everything relevant to the question. Pay attention to the powerpoints and participate as much as you can.

Comment:

Great professor! I had him for Land Use, which is a dry subject, and he made it as interesting as possible. The way he presents questions is a little confusing. Analyze cases by claim or argument instead of the way the case discusses it. He's funny and interesting to listen to but there is a LOT of reading. He really wants you to understand.

Comment:

Prof. Wilson will be your best friend your first year: he's extremely sympathetic to 1Ls, and to night students, and goes out of his way to mentor you on getting though law school. He also has an encyclopedic knowledge of contract law, and an amiable, folksy lecture style. Long reading assignments are the only downside -- but you'll learn a lot.

Best teacher at the school. High level of interest in students. Excellent command of the material, makes it interesting, tells you EXACTLY what to do for the exam. Just follow his directions and get an A+ like I did.

Take his courses. He expects you to read, but is very fair. I learned contracts very well from his methods - he talks about exam prep from day one. Great for 1L's.

Very intelligetn and knows his stuff, but very theoretical. Not a good professor for right brained people, almost everything he taught went way over my head. 2nd Semester had Professor Page and grade increased dramatically. Regard. of Prof, I highly rec. buying and E and E book.

Comment:

HARD. Simply the most challenging/interesting class ever. Knows his stuff cold. Lets you volunteer for cases so you won't get called on. Watch out for the final, though. He talks about Bloom's taxonomy, but then his grading rubric onthe final exam was pretty much just a brain dump of as many rules as you can remember.

Lets you take a cheat sheet into the exam - without which everyone would fail. He's kinda hard to follow during the semester, but for some odd reason, he actually gives a review, and you realize you have actually learned a ton during the semester.

Comment:

this Ned Flanders looking professor will make your head hurt all semester -- you will enter the exam thinking you know nothing . . . and then it all kinda just makes sense. Quite amazing, after you wipe the****out of your pants.
