Comment:

If there was any Professor that I would label as "unfair", it would be Professor Williams. The problems on the test were so out there, that I for the life of me could not find similar problems of that difficulty in my textbook nor the online homework after receiving the grade. Do not take this Professor, consider yourself warned.

Just spreading awareness like the rest of my class is doing. Do not take such a terrible professor, do not waste your money. He failed a lot of people who were trying their best. It's really unfortunate that he had to do this..

Our class just got our grades back. Do not take this clown. We tried our best and he assured us we would be rewarded. I wish I never took and wasted the little money I have on this awful professor. :/

Comment:

By far the worst/deceitful professor I ever had in my life. Loads the final exam with unnecessary problems that are difficult, crammed material in the last week of the semester. Expects students with careers and other classes to have time to complete homework chapters with hundreds of problems. AVOID at all costs. I got A's in all my other math's.

Alvin william is a worst professor period. who ever said he is good professor that was one big fat lie. I have him for spring 2018 and he literally failed me for the final and doesn't care any of his student nor wanted to help to pass in student in his class. he doesn't give extra credit period. Don't take him period. he not negotiable. WARNINING.

Comment:

He is a good professor, I really like the way he teach, very easy to understand and slowly. He always gave time to do review for the test at class. Not easy A but he's kind of a generous guy. If you work hard then he will give you extra credits. I want to take him in Calculus classes but he doesn't teach those of class.

He is a great professor. He makes sure you have a clear understanding of the problems before he move on. He makes sure you are very well prepared for the test before test day. Ask a question he will answer it. No textbook use at all.

He is one of the most caring profesors i have met, he pays attention to his students, he is very respected and liked, very approachable. He explains very well and his exams reflect what he does in class, the class is interactive, and he always take 20 to 30 mns JUST TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. He is the best teacher i have ever had.

Comment:

Although professor has good ratings for the MTH100 classes, he was not a very good Calc 1 professor. He is a very nice person, but not a good teacher. He would take up a lot of time answering WebAssign homework questions in the beginning of class which made us fall behind. If I wouldn't have taken this class in high school, I would have failed.

Comment:

Professor Williams is a GREAT professor. He is one of the few that actaally takes time out to explain all the problems if anyone has difficutly. He is extremely helpful and finds time to help you when he can. If you study for his test you will do great and attendance is a must the firt couple weeks of class.

Comment:

Honestly, he's a likeable professor but his teaching style is horrible. What he teaches is often easy but once you get the test it's like totally different and hard, had way better math professors before. I advice everyone to consider other professor because he is not effective. Good luck!
