When I took this class there were clicker questions for attendance. The tests are direct copies of his notes, and he does a review the class before the test. Incredibly easy class, super fun! I learned a lot of interesting stuff!

Perfect mix of old and new school. Dr. Wilber is older, but he keeps up with the latest and greatest in media. Class is easy enough, midterm and final exam with a book report plus daily clicker quizzes. Show up, take the quiz and you should be fine.

Love him almost as much as he loves teaching and what he teaches. He's super knowledgeable and very talented and makes each lecture enjoyable with video clips or music that correlate with the week's topic. TAKE HIMMMM

Weekly 10 question iClicker quizzes which are taken from the lecture. Pay attention, and it's easy enough. Two tests - a midterm and a final, and two book reports due the last week of class. A great professor, funny, smart and really cares about his students. Take this class if you can.

Prof. Wilber has been one of my favorite teachers thus far! There are clicker quizzes every class but they're super easy. You need to write two papers and there is a midterm and final but that's about it. He tells you exactly what is going to be on the tests and he is a funny guy. Easy A!

Very easy class, he's very passionate about his classes, so while the material is not exceptionally exciting, he makes it enjoyable. He also tells you all the material on the test so it is hard not to do well!

Class was interesting enough, as long as you read. I personally liked the class and thought he was a decently cool teacher for being a grandpa.

Dr. Wilber is very knowledgable and his lectures are interesting. Show up and get an A. He makes you take hand written notes and there is a clicker quiz after every class so don't plan on skipping class. He gives great reviews for the midterm and final. The hardest part was 2 book reports due at the end of the semester. Don't put them off!

Professor Wilber is AWESOME! It is almost impossible to fail his class if you show up, pay attention and listen to what he wants you to do. He has his own way of doing things, which makes the class easier, in my opinion. TAKE HIM! I signed up for a second class with him in the fall.

I loved this class. I enjoyed going to the lectures. His 5 question quizzes every Wednesday were a breeze because he gave all the answers the Monday before. GO TO LECTURE. It will benefit you lots. The book report was pretty easy. The reading wasn't terrible. Would take again if I had to!

This class is cake if you show up and take the clicker quizzes. The exams are almost completely based off the quizzes, so keep your answers. There is a paper at the end of the semester which was way easier than I expected. He REALLY pushes to sell his books. I never used his online textbook, you do have to know the paperback book stories though.

This class is an easy A. We had mandatory clicker quizzes for each class that were super easy. We only had 1 paper, 1 midterm, and 1 exam. His lectures are somewhat long but there are a few interesting topics he discussed. He is very sweet sometimes but he can be anal about using phones laptops in class. Our notes have to be hand-written.

Fun and interesting class. Super easy A with one midterm and a final cumulative multiple choice exams. The only thing I'd advise you is to stay on top of your weekly assignments which are super easy and fun. Other than that, enjoy this class!! Got an A and hardly read anything.

Comment:

Fun and interesting class, material was simple to understand and relevant to the course. Learned quite a bit even though I didn't study much and it's not even part of my major. Only negative was the required paper written about a book we had to read, (student chosen book from a list of books). Not bad, but the list of books didn't seem interesting.

He was a great teacher to have. It is a very easy class, if you attend the classes and do the blogs. If you do the blogs and participate in class it’s an easy A. He gives you midterm and finals questions and answers if you stay in class. There is one book report, it’s very easy, just do it. He does offer extra credit.
