So far I havent enjoyed my intro classes, I love psychology but the way he teaches just doesnt make sense, its basically heres the test dates, go for it. Not helpful, question in midterms made no sense whatsoever.

Doug is qwerky and weird in a good way, he makes the lectures very interesting and the class intrigued just with his personality and strange examples.

Comment:

Intro to Psych is a hard class to be interested in, considering the amount of information we learn each class. Professor Williams made his lectures very interesting and easy to follow. He has a great sense of humour, so falling asleep in class was minimal. Asking him for help was easy and he was always willing to. Amazing professor!

Comment:

Intro Psych was a breeze with him but he is probably the most annoying prof in the entire department. He's very immature, says questionable things, and throws things at and mocks students. I thought I was back in high school the entire semester, unbelievable. Don't bother showing up, you'll pass without his help.

Pretty funny guy but sometimes it gets out of hand. The first day he told us that next term he was becoming a women (transgender). Everyone believed it but it turned out to be a joke. He gets extremely carried away but i learned a lot. We did switch profs half way through and i definitely missed him

Comment:

Doug is an absolutely hilarious professor. He gives examples for a lot of the material discussed. Exams are fairly easy, almost entirely from the lecture notes. They say you must read the text for exams, but is not necessary whatsoever. Notes are also posted online if you miss class. Wold definitely take another class with him.

Comment:

nice guy but i took animal behaviour thinking it was gonna be fun and interesting. it's probably the most boring, dry, and least fun class ive ever taken ever. it's 100% math and biology (two things im not good at). wanted to be an animal behaviourist but if this is all they do? no thanks. someone get me a dog to pet quickly im stressed out.

Comment:

One of the best profs I've had. He is really funny but is always making a point relevant to the material with his humor. Makes really dry material interesting. Very approachable and helpful. You have to go to the lectures if you want to do well, as his powerpoints will not make sense otherwise.

Comment:

The material is so boring. Extremely hard to pay attention. He does not explain things very clearly in class. I have to refer to the textbook constantly to understand what he was even talking about. His tests are not that hard but can be tricky. Doing really well in the class ONLY because the textbook is very detailed.

Great Prof. He tries hard to keep his class interested in his lectures. Very easy going, but he challenges his students. He is approachable and fun.

Great teacher! Gives funny examples and really makes you interested in the course ! Very fair and wants his students to do well. Flexible with redo of tests if needed and has little bonus points for coming to class. Slides are all on the internet, so if you can't come to class, no need to worry. Super fun, would totally recommend!!

Wow. Doug. Where do we begin? From his Berkenstocks and ripped hoodies, to his joking attitude and stimulating research, Doug is where it's at.

Awesome prof! Lectures were always entertaining with his videos and jokes. Flexible with exam schedules, and tests are very fair. You can tell he wants his students to do well, and he has a lot of enthusiasm for the subject.

He is so much fun! His examples gets the class engaged and he emphasizes points really well. The "fun facts" that he throws in actually help alot. Highly recommended!
