CollegeMike creates a very strong and encouraging learning environment. He provides you with all the materials to lead you to success. Rewatch his lectures multiple times and do all the practice problems he gives. Really engage and try to learn during section. Content was 50% new and 50% MCDB 1A so it was easier to learn.
He has been one of my favorite professors here at UCSB, and he is not only an amazing lecturer but is also genuinely deeply invested in the success of all of his students. The course is truly designed to maximize the amount of student success, and I would recommend this class to anyone who is slightly interested in the subject matter.
One of the best stem professors I've ever had! Although the class is graded mostly by exams, he drops the lowest and explains lectures in an understandable manner. He wants students to succeed and provides multiple opportunities to practice problems and get help if things don't make sense. Would definitely recommend taking him!
Mike is such a nice person and he wants you to succeed, but he does not by any means write easy tests! Completely bombed the first test, but studied like crazy for the 2nd two and did okay. I highly recommend going to OH, and really try and do well on the first exam so that you don't have to take the final. He did give extra credit and he "curves".
Best bio professor at UCSB. Wilton cares for all of his students and wants them to succeed. EC is available and exams are very similar to practice tests. Do ALL the weekly problems and practice tests. Go to OH with questions ready to ask. 3 exams, but you can drop one of them (including the final). Exams are tricky so study thoroughly.
Dr. Wilton is literally THE BEST!!! He's a caring professor that wants you to understand the content and do well in class. The class is super fair and his lectures are great. Study early on and go to OH for clarifications on anything (he's very approachable to ask questions) and you'll do well. So thankful I took 110 with him.
