Professor Williams is the best teacher I have ever had. He wants to see you do well, and he will help in any way he can. His lectures are very important so do not miss class. Read the textbook, go to class, and study the homework he gives!

Great Professor. Chemistry is a difficult class but he is very good at teaching it in a way you can understand. I learned so much. Put in effort to study for tests. Don't miss class. Create study groups. Ask questions and you will do well.

Professor Williams is very upbeat and happy which makes class enjoyable. He gives reviews and makes sure everyone is ready for tests. If you dont understand something, as long as you ask, he will work with you until you do understand. There arent many tests, but with a couple hours of studying a week, you can make an A. I would recommend him.

Comment:
Chemistry is a tough subject regardless of the professor, but Professor Williams struggles in a few ways. In more than one exam, the class average was below a 70. For me, that's a really bad sign. Overall, the class isn't too difficult to pass, considering the lab grade is worth 40 percent, but do not expect an exceptional experience.

He doesn't only lecture to us but he also helps us to understand what he is talking about. We're constantly reminded not to overthink a problem because it is all basic math and chemistry. He basically reviews the chapter that we are required to read at home and he gets straight to the point. Do your outside study and you will be fine.

Williams is tough on purpose. He needs to be because this class is no joke! It will take studying 5-7 days per wk and use of his office hours or SI - if you want an A!! but, he doesn't mind cutting up in class and can be lenient in a lot of situations. :) If I liked Chemistry then I'd take him again.

Dr. Williams has a great vibe, he is very nice and cheerful. However, when it comes to teaching he goes through the material very fast and he also assumes you have lots of prior knowledge. His grades consists of tests only a few tests so if you bomb one you're on thin ice if you fail two you're out. The Lab was easy, just follow directions.

He is a waste of time and his lectures are horrible. You leave class feeling extremely frustrated. You have to teach yourself. It is essential to do homework, look at power point notes, and (most importantly) the internet to pass this class. He repeatedly tells you that he has been teaching for 21 years, well maybe it's time he stopped.

He is a great teacher! Chemistry is one of my worst subjects but thanks to his clear and easy to understand lectures I got an A. This class isn't super easy, you still have to work for it, but if you are looking for a class where you will actually learn the subject and not want to completely blow your brains out then take this class.

Chemistry is hard, but he was alright. Not very good with asking questions sometimes, just do you work and try hard. He likes humor, and student feedback of how to improve his class. Good man, Good teacher. Very hard class.

He was an alright teacher but to me he made me feel stupid if I asked questions and thats not right. He was nice enough. You do need to attend all classes cause you cant make up any and he does drop your lowest grade.
