Wiles is clearly very knowledgeable when it comes to any area of mathematics that students bring up and that
him a better teacher. This means that he can elaborate on anything and do so clearly.
­
Great instructor. He is down to earth and is very easy to talk to. Loves his teaching method and how he asks
students what day is best for them to take the exams. One of the best instructors here at Purdue and I would
love to take another math course with him.
Q23 ­ Make a suggestion(s) for improving the course (a criticism alone is not helpful; tell your
instructor how you would fix any problem).
Faculty: Wiles, Benjamin C
Response Rate: 33.33% (2 of 6)
