Comment:

I loved this professor. He's really passionate about the topic and also checks to make sure the class understands. He also does a review the class period before the test. Writes everything on the board but make sure to right down EVERYTHING he says because he only writes down main point no much detail.

There are 2 tests, 1 paper, & a final with some extra credit opportunities. He is very nice, and cares about his students. If you don't go to class, you won't pass because he writes out all the lectures on a chalkboard and doesn't post them anywhere.

Comment:

He is a nice guy but his lectures are very unclear. He tried to make them relatable but they were very jumbled. I took notes in class but that didnt seem to help me at all on the tests, his points were very unclear and hard to understand. Id recommend taking someone else.

I took this as an online class. It was super easy but I learned so much. Really, just participate and do the online assignments and you'll pass the class.

Comment:

Dr. Williams was an amazing professor and his lectures were actually enjoyable. He makes it clear that hes there to help his students. There are 3 exams and one essay. Take thorough notes and take advantage of any tutoring resources. His class isnt a breeze but its more than achievable to make an A.

Comment:

Professor Williams is a super boring teacher. His notes aren't very clear and you barely use the book in his class. It is possible to pass test but your pretty much on your own with the review. I do not recommend taking him

Comment:

there were only three tests including the final. he has a project thats worth 50 points but it isnt too difficult. He offers help on it during his office hours and even allowed for an outside of class meeting for help as well. I never went to the SI, but there is one available. The last two days of class we watched the Truman Show!

Comment:

Dr. Williams is a very caring professor. He really loves sociology and it's clear when he lectures. You take notes every class and that's pretty much all you do. Go to his office hours, he will love you and give you really good feedback. His tests are exactly like the review. Attendance isn't mandatory, but if you skip make sure you get notes.

Dr. Williams is a fantastic professor. I'm in my third year in college and his class has been one of my favorites so far. This course is not easy, but it's not too hard as long as you are not lazy. You'll pass as long as you study the notes and vocabulary. He is always there for you if you need assistance and he provides excellent feedback.

Comment:

Dr. Williams gets his points across and his lectures are very organized and his analogies are really helpful, but he's honestly pretty boring. If Sociology is your thing, take him. He knows his stuff front and back. If you're taking it for a credit, he takes a lot of energy to pay attention to for over an hour. Tests are pretty easy.

Comment:

In 2012 as a high school freshman, I took this class for dual credit. As my first college class, it seemed intimidating at first, but Dr. Williams made it so easy and so interesting. became one of my favorite classes. The assignments were easy, and the information was super interesting. We watched The Truman Show in class once. Awesome professor.

Comment:

I took this class as a first semester freshman.He's not very exciting,but is a genuinely nice guy.You just have to listen and be semi interested in the subject. About a quarter into the semester he started offering review sessions where you could ask anything.He also curves the tests often.The book helps but is not the center of the curriculum.

Comment:

This man here...ugh! He covers what he talks about in class very vaguely but expects you to read the book as well and the information is between the lines...the lecture and book dont relate at all...he gave me a D but not because of test grades..you can make a good grade but I highly recommend taking somebody else if possible
