What a truly great professor. It isn't often that you are fortunate enough to have a professor who is truly passionate towards the subject he teaches and his students. Go to each and every class, take detailed notes. He doesn't allow electronics in his class, so you'll have to take notes the old fashioned way, but this is so effective when it comes to truly understanding the material. Review your notes, make sure to do the class readings, and apply the material to everyday life. His tests are written, and although the reader is strict, Wilford is very lenient when grading. Really enjoyed this class!
