his lectures covered a lot of material but they were so engaging and well done that it still was manageable. he posted lecture videos and the homework was very similar to lectures so it wasn't too hard. his tests were kind of difficult but if you went to lecture and studied his notes he made during lectures they weren't too hard. awesome professor

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.

Mike was a great lecturer and definitely made biology easier to understand for everyone. He taught you everything you needed to know for the tests and as long as you reviewed the slides and wrote out stuff you would do well. I especially liked how he tried to learn everyone's name and always was trying to invite people to his office hours.

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.

Amazing professor. He cares so much about his students and it shows through. The content might be tough at times but he is always willing to help and even provides resources for research after you're done with his class. Such a sweet professor def take him.

The GOAT. Biochem is a lot of content but Wilton gives you all the tools you need to succeed. Just be sure to do the problems he gives, ask questions, and try your hardest! He will make sure you do well as long as you put in the effort.

Mike is hands down the best teacher I've had at UCSB. He is caring, smart, and respected by all of his students. Because of Mike's guidance, I was able to succeed in all of the upper div Bio coursework I'm currently taking. Mike deserves nothing but the best. If you put in the work, you will do well. I'm excited to take his classes in the future.
