  • I think that it is best to ignore people who complain about the prof. She's lovely.

  • Course breakdown is as follows: 2 non cumulative tests (25% each), weekly papers (30%), participation (10%), and attendance (10%). Jeff Wilson does not allow the use of computers/cell phones in his lecture and in an attempt to make you come to class he will not post the class slides until after the class, so be prepared to write out notes by hand. His lectures are clear and concise and easy to follow, and Jeff is very knowledgable in his field.
