Great professor! She teaches in a way where you remember the material. 2 exams(midterm and final) and 1 research paper. She gives an extra credit opportunity for your midterm and an extra credit that can go towards your final. Tests are easy as long as you study and memorize her review sheets which she gives you at the beginning of semester.

She's very opinionated. She thinks she's right and your wrong. Her class was easy as long as you agree with her. The midterm and final were easy she gives your a review sheet and you filled it out and memorize it. For the paper make sure you do good and ask her to read it in advance.

This professor, makes you work for your grade. Amazing lectures but heavy, with a great sense of humor. Get ready to take a lot of notes, because those will be on the exam. Material is taught in such a way, it stays with you. Easy to approach, and incredibly intelligent, and very well aware of her surroundings.

Professor Williams is one of the best professors I have ever had. Her lectures are amazing & she will often incorporate some humor in there which helped me learn better, & I learned a lot in one semester. You must show up to class, do your work & study. If you do what she tells you, you will pass. She gave an extra credit opportunity which helped.

Comment:

I have no idea how this "doctor" is still teaching. She presents her racist opinions as facts in class, and she excessively and unnecessarily uses racial slurs when describing stories you would think she was part of. She's unreasonable and unfair. If you disagree with her, she takes it out on your grade.

Professor Williams is not only funny but down to earth awesome :) I was afraid in the beginning but I started to like her as the course progressed no matter how many times she was hard on us. She grades tough though and you cannot take this class easily, it requires diligence! Got an A- in this class. BTW the final exam was a bit annoying.

Comment:

I have one complaint- tough grader. Besides that, Dr. Williams is one of the smartest educators I've ever come across. Lectures are VERY interesting, also she is hilarious. Picks on certain students, however, rightfully so when they aren't paying attention. I've learned an ample amount in this fun, interesting course!

Comment:

Good professor. Only gives midterm final and research paper, no homework. Offers extra credit. Lectures can be boring at times but gets interesting towards the end of the semester. Strict but fair. If she notices nobody not taking notes she'll call them put for it. Has a nice sense of humor. Definitely recommend taking her for U.S History.

Comment:

She's very sarcastic and rubbed me the wrong way at first. But she takes her job very seriously and does not like slackers. Only 2 exams, midterm and final, and one paper which she's very strict about. Toward the end of the year I started to like her more and I understood why she was so tough on us. Got an A- in the class

Comment:

Its a History class,but she makes the students write three 6 page essays w/citations. Shes a hard grader on essays and even though I invested all my time/resources,I only received an A once on her essay. The other two were B's. She gives 3 exams which you also have to write an essay. No multiplechoice. Out of 100 terms to study she chooses only 10.

She is a good teacher. Her essays are extremely hard because you have to write three analytical essays on one book. Her tests are complete writing of definitions and essays.no multiple choice. i studied my butt off. She has very rude remarks about whites. sometimes very cranky.

Very interesting teacher but ses a tough grader. If youre a good essay writer and and foreming thesises its an easy A. If it wasnt for her harsh grading she would be great but overall she makes the class very interesting, but dont expect to do nothing youre going to have to work.

The professor is pretty easy, fun to be around with. Negative part about her is she is a bit ****, has some personal issues with white people, can make harsh comments toward people. other than that she is ok.can be a lot worse.

really an eye opener on how dynamic a teacher should be. for those who gave her a poor rating they must be utterly blind. Very helpful, and many students refer her to be taken.

Comment:

Class is a little more work than a typical intro class with three short essays and a research paper, but tests are pretty easy and she puts all the notes on the board like a high school class. Do the work and you'll get a good grade.
