She's a great professor. Really takes participation seriously. Assigns a lot of readings, doesn't allow outside sources other than what she assigns. requires details and precision. Otherwise she is a great professor!

This is my favorite teacher in the world. She's always there for any student. Her hand-writing is a little messy, but you get used to it. She is an excellent teacher, whom gives amazingly intelligent lectures. I've learned SO much.

Comment:

She talks at the speed of light and is a really tough grader. She demands that you know everything she taught and only topics that she presents in class and authors she assigns are allowed to be used on papers. It is like she thinks the only knowledge on the planet comes from her. If you can regurgitate information well, take this class.

She speaks really quickly, but she allows and encourages lively class discussion and is incredibly engaging. She got me completely hooked on IR.

Comment:

Great teacher, one of the few i liked at Clark, idk if she's still here or not or is just on sabbatical. i was having trouble finding info for my research paper and when I went and talked to her about it, she went through her own personal library to help find information for me, I don't know another professor who would do that. simply amazing

Talks really fast, but very intelligent! Easy grader and paper topics aren't too bad. Lectures are clear for the most part but she talks really fast.

This class was challenging but it should be being a seminar. I have had Professor Williams three times and each time its an absolute joy. You must take at least one class with Williams while your at Clark.

Talks SO fast. Really poor handwriting. A little hard to understand at times. Good professor otherwise. Tough grader. Infuses a lot of women's studies into the course, so be ready for it.

Comment:

OK professor except her assignments are rigid and her grading is equally rigid. She seems to only want the students to know what SHE taught. Very inflexible but on the surface very easy going and accommodating. If you are good at regurgitating, take this class.

Comment:

I'm an official fan - I've yet to find evidence that Dr. Williams does NOT walk on water... think she does... NEVER have I encountered a more fair, intelligent, inspiring, and dedicated professor. AND she's incredibly nice! If you're even remotely interested in IR, take her classes! As many as possible! You'll never be so happy to work so hard!

Comment:

Govt 147 was not an intro class in any way. You have to have prior knowledge about world issues. However, she's a great prof. very helpful. if you didnt get something because she was talking to fast she'll answer any ?'s after class.
