Dr Wilson gave EXTREMELY clear instructions for what to study for his midterm & final exam, & the only other assignment was a research paper. He consistently reminded us that he was happy and available to help if we needed it, plus he's highly approachable and funny. We also got to flintknap and build a shelter! 10/10 loved this class & professor.

NOT RECOMMENDED. This class is absolutely awful. I took this class, last semester, Fall 2021. He does not show your grades until the end. The slides are awful, you can't take notes on them, contain mostly images. His exams are awful. Gives you a useless study guide and says "It's your responsibility to know these and that". EXAMS NOT OPEN NOTE.

This class was synchronous and graded material consisted of one midterm, one research paper and one cumulative final (all open note with ample time). Professor was very fair given the pandemic, lectures were entertaining, and he extended a "rain check" for knapping once school is in session again. Chill dude, chill class, learned a lot.

I've had Professor Wilson for 2 courses at UCSB, loved them both. He sets clear expectations for tests and class assignments. Lectures are very important and PowerPoints are not posted online. Be sure to take good notes. He encourages coming to office hours and can meet with students outside of these times in his lab. Study well for tests!

monotone teaching, not engaging in lecture, tested on very specific material.

Professor Wilson was really nice and willing to help students during class or outside of class hours. His ethics class is really great and taught very well. His instructions for test preparation is kind of vague but if you do your readings and are in class you'll be fine on tests. Love both the classes I took with him!

He is a new professor here but quickly becoming a favorite with many students. He is EXTREMELY helpful and actually cares about his students. He is also really funny. He is really easy to get along with but that doesn't mean he lets his students slack in class. Stay on top of the reading because he will test you on it. One of the best here
