Comment:
Aggressively competent in what she teaches. Very on top of things. Fair and accommodating if you are struggling on something or need a little more time. I enjoyed going to her class, which is saying a lot considering it was at 8 am.

I had Wilke for Honors Physics II Spring 2016. She's underrated. Very nice, straightforward person. She helped me a lot outside of class. Very tough grader and expects a lot from her students. Do the work, and do well.

Comment:
Wilke really does try her best. She communicates clearly despite her heavy German accent, and she'll help you if you ask for it. Physics I is a tough class, and you're gonna have some trouble. Don't blame it on her though; she's doing all she can. Also, she writes her "m"s weird and has some strange pronunciations, but they're easy to deal with.

8 in the morning makes it tough to stay awake, along with the style of the class. Long derivations done out in class don't relate much to the homework or exams.

Comment:
Last year was her first year teaching I-Mech, so I anticipate that in future years, her methods will improve. She taught straight from the textbook, and she writes the letter 'm' and 'n' with one extra hump, but other than that, the class was very easy(with no prior mechanics save physics I) and the hwk can be looked up online if you get stuck.

Comment:
Don't know how this professor ended up teaching when she can't even solve simple physics problems. She spends too much time on unimportant parts of the lecture and then rushes over the important part. She loves to force people to attend the class for the whole 2 hrs even if you are done with all observations. She's not one to look forward to.

I'm not sure whether it's her or the subject that makes this course so dry. Taking it at 8:00 AM at Carnegie may have added to the suffering. She knows what she's talking about though.

Comment:
So it seems like she's better at Graduate classes. The class she taught was right out of the book. You can basically get the same information from reading the book and some outside research. Homework can be tedious at times, but isn't too hard conceptually. Same with exams. The examples are organized, and she does explain them. Not horrible.

Comment:
Expect to use your textbook a lot with Wilke's class. Almost everything she puts on the board is out of the book, along with hw and exam problems. She spends most of the time with examples instead of the core material. Read the book before class or else you won't learn much.

She did an excellent job covering the derivation from Jackson. Her final was a little rough, but other than that, she was a great teacher

boring class, but very organized and good notes given. sometimes she does a whole class where you break into groups to solve problems, which is a nice change. exams were hard, but reasonable. homework is reasonable considering its a grad level class.

really nice, and tries to help you as much as she can, but she is really really boring. there is probably a better teacher out there for this class.
