I LOVE HARLAN WILSON! he has a fantastic sense of humor and is extremely intelligent. Class was a pleasure and a challenge, I knew nothing about Politics coming in and now hope to take more classes with Prof Wilson. Also, he looks like a walrus!

Great professor. Genuinely interested in material and students' ideas. Demands a lot of critical thinking, but helps you when you are lost. Expects a lot from papers. Assigns a lot of reading, which you don't always have to do. Lectures can be dull, but well worth it. Plus, he's really funny sometimes.

Not an easy teacher by any means; He demands a decent amount of reading and critical thinking. His classes are worth the work. He has a huge amount of pertinent knowledge, is great at challenging what you're thinking, and is one of my funnier teachers. I'd recommend him highly

Knows what he teaches, good at explaining concepts, demanding but fair. But he assigns a lot of reading and is a tough grader--he says he wants you to think independently, but he grades with a bias I think. His classes are interesting and worth taking. A funny professor, interesting material.

Dry, sardonic wit. In his Marxism class, he does his best (thankfully) to keep the Trotskyites who take the course only to make agitprop for their version of communism quiet, and challenges them to back up what they say with Marx's writings, which they frequently can't do. Also made a private reading on anarchy with him--very insightful.
