Matthew Wilson MATH140 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/17/2025	Prof. Wilson is a very passionate and understanding instructor. Although it is sometimes difficult to follow his lectures because he talks a lot about how specific equations are derived or the theoretical concept at the core of the lesson, he does lots of practice problems and posts extra if we run out of time during the class. You can clearly feel his passion for teaching and the class; he makes the lectures engaging and he always stays after class to answer questions from students. In terms of grading, the partial credit was very generous for most of the midterms, and there was even an opportunity for point recovery on one. The midterms were reflective of the practice tests he posted beforehand. The only criticism I would have are that the online H.W. questions were often not representative of what we covered in class and were unnecessarily hard. For studying for tests, the worksheets handed out during discussions were a much better resource than the H.W. But overall, I recommend Prof. Wilson if you're taking MATH140 as he clearly cares about his students and has reasonable expectations and exams.
Matthew Wilson MATH140 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 12/16/2025	Lots of energy when teaching lectures and he is easy to learn from. Id recommend him to anyone who has to take calculus. Also understanding when it comes to missed homework.
Matthew Wilson MATH140 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/13/2025	TAKE MATTHEW WILSON!!!!!!!!!!!! He is really good at teaching the content for this class. Most of the time I understood everything he says and is always available after class if you're confused with something. He does assign a LOT of homework but is always open to giving you extentions if you email him. He's also just a very nice guy, I've talked with him after class before just on random topics and he is just very chill. His tests were pretty hard I will say however he offers points back on in class quizzes in discussion sections, and is very leaning with partial credit. If calc scares you and you can get into a section with him I highly recommend you do. The TA's too were so helpful at covering some topics that were hard. I will also say that his discussion worksheets are pretty challenging, I'd make friends with people in your discussion and ask for help if you need it. TAKE MATTHEW WILSON!!!!!
Matthew Wilson MATH140 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/11/2025	Professor Wilson is awesome! He is very patient, and loves to answer any and all questions you have. He is SOOO passionate about math and it is so evident he wants everyone to succeed. I went to office hours and they were very helpful and I definitely recommend going. In terms of content - he made it clear what was going to be on the tests. They were pretty similar to the practice exams he provided us. Homework could be annoying I am not a fan of web assign, but we expressed this to him and he's thinking of changing it for next semester. Overall, great professor and take him if you can!
Matthew Wilson MATH140 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/08/2025	Professor Wilson is really passionate about math and it comes across in his teaching. His lectures are really interesting and relatively easy to understand. He is good at answering questions. The only critique is that the online homeworks he assigns are bad but I think he was teaching this course for the first time and he said he was considering changing it in the future due to feedback he got. Overall I definitely recommend him for MATH140.
Matthew Wilson MATH140 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/05/2025	Mr. Wilson is so nice, but he isn't the best at explaining topics. You can tell he really likes math and obviously knows a lot, but the way he explains the content is how his brain works (which is a math wiz) so if your not so quick to pick things up like me you might not like him. He tends to overcomplicate things in lecture, and he focuses a lot on the proof for each problem rather than teach you how to actually solve it. His exams were also always harder than the practice done in class or in the practice exams. Overall great guy, but not the BEST teacher.
Matthew Wilson MATH140 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/04/2025	A more recent review* Professor Wilson is really easygoing and friendly teacher. He explains things thoroughly, uses a lot of examples, answers any questions. He's also fairly available and answers emails pretty quick. In terms of coursework, midterms are not too challenging; As long as you keep up with HW, worksheets, yada yada, you will most likely do well in the class. All in all, definitely recommend taking Matthew for math.
Matthew Wilson MATH213 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/01/2023	Matt is amazing. He is one of the best teachers for MATH213 that I've heard about. He explains things to students understanding and makes the class easy. He is such a nice teacher and is very flexible with his students. 3 midterms and a final, somewhat weekly homework and a few quizzes. He offers test corrections and extra credit. He is willing to work with and help students.
Matthew Wilson MATH107 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/02/2023	Mr. Wilson was one of the best professors I had my freshman year and was super helpful. He gave weekly homework, only checked them occasionally, would offer to go over hw questions we had trouble with, and had weekly Friday quizzes on 2-3 sections. He explained confusing wording in a simple way and helped the class visualize models when certain questions were difficult wording wise. He was always available outside class during office hours, and would go out of his way to meet with you through zoom if you couldn't make his in-person office hours. Super friendly and welcoming professor, 10/10 would recommend if you need your FSMA credit and want to actually learn in a safe/open environment!!
