Extremely boring classes. The narrow scope of material is covered repeatedly, with no emphasis on commercial insolvency. Students interested in business law will be dissapointed.

The pace of class is slow, but everything you need is there. If you do the readings/exercises, and are mindful of what he's going through in class, you'll get plenty from the course. His style of teaching lends itself to preparing for his tests too.

Comment:
He speaks very softly and very slowly. He knows his stuff and sticks to it, and it's not boring material, but somehow he manages to make it boring.

Comment:
I really like Prof. Williamson (as a prof and the associate dean). He is extremely approachable and will explain something in detail until (and even after :) you understand it. He can get sidetracked in class, but will answer ALL Q'S. His exams are mostly straightforward. If you "get him" (his pattern of thought) you can do really well.

Only exciting relative to Kuttner. 'Course, it was Commercial Law... Also, looks a little like a muppet.

Prof. Williamson is so kind. He is a great choice for assoc. Dean b/c students can go to him and feel comfortable talking about any problems they have. His courses are very practical. I wouldn't use the word boring, but he is soft spoken, so sit up front!
