Quality man of God, real stand up individual. Tells great stories that are always relevant to the topic at hand. Definitely worth taking for any class, hopefully around for a while.

Super easy A. Take the quizzes each week (he lets you use Google), do the projects, and show up to class and you will get an A. Even if you don't want to come to class you can turn in a chapter outline and it'll count as your attendance for that day. He is a little whacky but you can learn something from the class.

Loves mother-in-law jokes. Pay attention and the worst you can do is a B.

Comment:

The class itself isn't bad and is pretty enjoyable, he even lets class out early almost every class period! You need the book for weekly quizzes, the tests are pretty difficult but he allows retakes. There are bonus quizzes every Friday so that helps keep your grade up if you struggle with tests.

Comment:

Not afraid to make fun of or embarrass students in front of class & thinks he's funny. Easy, get out early most days & have opportunity to take tests twice. Says politically incorrect and rude things to entertain. Unapproachable. I'm all for joking around, but he crossed the line way too many times. If you find that type of thing funny, go for it.

Comment:

He is a funny guy. I don't feel like I learned much from his lectures. However, the class is not hard. You get let out of class every day early, which is nice. He also gives you a chance to ask him questions and waste time with him telling stories for twenty minutes (come prepared with questions). I didn't mind it though. He's a good story teller.

Comment:

He crosses the fine line between deadpan and rude. Class is interesting bc he plays internet radio and shows us commercials. But we learned NOTHING. After 30 minutes of him talking about women and military service he would dismiss the class - test Wednesday... What? What did I learn? We were basically all self-taught. You can make a "B" tho.

Comment:

His tests aren't the easiest, but you get two attempts, and the questions are usually very similar on the next test. He is funny, but possibly not as funny as he thinks he is! Overall the class was almost impossible to get a B in. I could have gotten every question wrong on the final and still received an a.

Comment:

Williams is a love them hate them guy for sure and I pretty much hated that class. He is rude beyond belief and could care less about his students it seemed. Yes he does try to help your grade if you go to class all the time, but for me going to class was miserable due to his rude and rough personality.

thank you thank you thank you for a professor who doesn't pour himself into the "harding mold" and speaks his mind as he sees the world. i would be more worried if we didn't have at least one person like williams in each department.

Lame...class was entertaining i suppose, but a waste of money and disheartening to know how much is being spent to sit through a half a class period to hear stories that may or may not relate to the topic of marketing

Comment:

Williams is pretty much a love him or hate him kind of guy. He's direct, not politcally correct at all,he's in your face and not afraid to speak his mind. He offends some and entertains others. I have no doubt he's a great Christian man, but he's very different than the typical Harding teacher.Be prepared to be shocked by some of the things he says

This guy is weird. I liked his class-and at the same time, I didn't... He's real opinionated, and sometimes I agreed with him, but he's a little warped. Be prepared. Good teacher, I learned alot, but he's a character...
