The absolute GOAT. He cares about every student and tells you exactly what you need to do to succeed in his class.

His portion of 1B had a lot of content but he does a fantastic job at making clear what you should know and how to understand it. He's so so caring and if you go to his review sessions and put in the work you'll for sure end up with a good grade.

OMGGG, I love Mike's lecture sooo much. A perfectly great professor. Organized lectures. He will emphasize important contents during lectures, and he is pretty willing and patient to talk with students after class. Overally, I love his lectures very much.

Everyone would rate him a 5 and anyone who rates him below a 5 is insane (and this will never happen). Best professor ever, with supreme lectures and doable exams. Really caring and energic. Wants everyone in the class to success

Dr. Wilton (Mike) is such a lovely individual. I performed quite terribly on the first 2 midterms in the class, and needed an unprecedented (for me at least) performance to pass. And I surpassed my unprecedented needs purely listening to Mike's study advice that he gives the class. Listen to him if you want to learn HOW to learn, and how to study.

Mike has been my favorite professor at UCSB so far. He explains concepts thoroughly and always answers questions. His lectures are engaging and don't make you want to fall asleep, even at 8am. Office hours are very helpful and he is easily reachable if you need clarification on anything.

Such a solid professor. Wants you to learn the material and actually will put in work to help you at office hours. Clear and consistent on the info he wants you to know. Best professor I've ever had. It feels like he has your back/there to support you.

Dr. Wilton is a wonderful lecturer and clearly well educated in his subject. I looked forward to his class every day, and he made the material super engaging. He was very approachable and welcoming, and made it easy to reach out and ask questions. He was very passionate and easy to listen to, and communicated with students throughout the quarter.

AMAZING PROFESSER! Can't stress that enough!! I took both his 1A and 1B course. Very understanding and truly cares about his students. Exams are created very fairly. Perhaps the only con is that he only teaches half of the lectures for the quarter. :)))

I loved Mike's lectures - he definitely knows his content, speaks loudly and clearly, makes jokes and tries to make the content engaging, and above all really cares about his students. He and Lalo both went out of their way to show students that they belong in the Bio field, and clearly want to do anything needed to ensure our success.

Mike is such a great professor, genuinely cares about his students, and is so accessible outside of class. If you are struggling, it is so important to reach out to him because he WILL help you and he wants his students to succeed. Although, the tests can be tricky and they definitely require a thorough understanding of the material.

Mike is genuinely one of the best professors I've ever had. He always managed to make lecture interesting and you can tell he cares about all of his students and how much they understand the material.

Professor Holton is the best. I was dreading taking MCDB 1B after struggling through 1A because the first part of the class is taught by Professor S. Low (eew), whos midterm I completely failed. Then Wilton came along, and boom, two midterms with a B and a high C later, and I passed the class with a B. Take Professor Wilton, you wont regret it!

mike is the best! he genuinely cares about helping you succeed and is incredibly empathetic. he sets clear expectations and exams are reasonable if u study. definitely go to OH--they give you insight on his thought process when answering questions which is a good way to gauge what will be on the exam. overall, one of my fave profs ever

Professor Wilton makes students feel seen and adds a lot of relevant studies to the lectures which makes them feel more relatable

MCDB 1B is tough because it is very content dense, but Mike's lectures are very clear and he is always encouraging about attending his office hours to receive extra help if you need it. Tests are fair and he's not trying to trick you, but the material is just tough. You have to work for a good grade (definitely a weeder class)

MCDB 1B is definitely one of the tougher classes in the intro bio series, but Wilton lectures so well, and you can just tell that he isn't trying to trick you like some of the other classes seem to. He loves answering questions and really lets his students know that they have his support!

Mike is one of the nicest professor I've met. The class is tough, but he (and Lalo) are always willing to help you out and truly wants everyone to succeed. The class is very memorization heavy. Probably the only bio weeder classes that I didn't feel helpless in.

He really cares about his students! He is willing to, and good at answering questions. Reading text book before lecture is quite important.
