Comment:

If you have ever wanted to see what a genius looks like he is your chance. Williams is mega smart. You might think you would here the same thing in any Psychology class but you won't. His insights and knowledge is way above. But he comes across very friendly and he makes it all easy to understand.

The class was only lectures with your only grades being 3 tests (1 of them the final). You are taking notes the whole class/ lecture or else you wont have anything to study. But he clearly outlines key ideas for you. Its a hard class but he is very passionate about the subject and the lectures were actually very enjoyable and he made them funny.

Dr. Williams was a great instructor. He graded my work within hours and left good feedback. He could be a tough grader at times, but this was part of the fun. He knew the subject very well and wanted to help his students do well.

Comment:

This class was just all over the place. None of the chapters really flowed together. He is a nice guy and a quick grader but some things just didn't make sense. He would count off and not tell you why in the notes. All around just messy. Also, be prepared to work all the time. Very time consuming.

Comment:

While he wasnt a terrible teacher, he wasnt a great teacher. He lectures all day and is hard to follow. WRITE DOWN EVERY SINGLE THING HE SAYS IN LECTURE. Many things that are on the test are things that he briefly mentions in class. It was a difficult class, but his real life explanations were great.

Comment:

He lectures a lot and sometimes goes off track and isn't specific about whats going to be on the test. You take 3 Exams and have 3 essays you have to turn in before final. If you study a little bit you might be lucky just to pass with a D. I didn't study that much but I passed with a D. You have to try really hard if you want an A in his class.

Loved taking his class. It was very lecture heavy, but he tells you every thing you need to know. He also has a list of everything you SHOULD know on syllabus. Almost all of the grade is based on test... so make sure you memorize the list (on syllabus) and know the examples he gave. Text book is sometimes used, but not essential. Great class!

Comment:

Prof Williams was my favorite. His class isn't hard if you come prepared to take good notes and don't miss. You only take three tests the whole semester and he offers one 10 points extra credit assignment (DO IT). He is an amazing lecturer and keeps it interesting. Just remember to keep your phone away otherwise you'll receive the "death penalty".

Professor Williams was an amazing teacher. Many are turned away from other students saying how hard of a teacher he is. Don't be fooled. They are right. But, they are wrong. There's only 3 exams but if you are determined to work for that A, you'll get it. Show up to class, it's very important that you do. And listen attentively. His advice is gold.

Comment:

Professor Williams honestly is a very nice guy, the thing that sucks the most is the fact that he doesn't teach psychology in psychology. The last unit has nothing to with psychology and is confusing. If you do not show up and take good notes, you will fail. I hated him when I first started, but that changed. There is only 3 exams, STUDY!!!!

He was an amazing teacher! His lectures were very detail oriented and it made me like history even more. I'm not a good test taker to begin with so it was hard to understand how to take his tests for a while. If you follow some of the tips he gives you about studying, and try your best, you're guaranteed to do well in this class.

Comment:

This teacher is awful! I would not choose to take him unless you're okay with taking Psyc 243 that only includes three test grades. And if he's feeling nice, maybe an extra credit paper of 6 points. He is a joke of a teacher and almost made me question my dream to teach. I had to drop out of the class. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Comment:

If you have the option to take a class with him, do it. He influenced me to change my major and I've never been more content with my career path. I leave his class everyday feeling more enlightened then when I came in. His tests are really really hard but you just have to go to class and know the material and you will be fine.

If you're an auditory learner like me, this is the teacher for you. I had his back to back History 120 and Psych 140 lectures and it was never short of entertaining. Yes, my hand was cramped by the end of class from writing, but he is truly a great speaker and the content of the lectures are thought-provoking. I will definitely sign up for more.

Comment:

I took Robert Williams' psychology (140) class. He is a GREAT teacher with a lot of experience. Lectures are very interesting; you better try to write every single word he says down. He really only puts what he taught you on the test and he also provides extra help if you need it as well. DO NOT MISS CLASS! You won't pass.

Amazing teacher, brings humor into the classroom while getting his lesson across. He has inspired me to be a better student and work hard toward my goals. I highly recommend him for anyone and everyone. There are three tests, no homework, he doesn't take attendance but its best not to miss a class. Very important to take notes in this class.

Comment:

He is a good speaker and uses metaphors and analogies to make information easier to grasp. Notes is a must in this class. Your grade depends entirely on them, He speaks at a brisk pace and is hard to keep up with at times. I write decent notes and study for a couple hours the day before a test and my grade is an 85.

This guy is great! He is really funny and yet you learn an incredible lot. The course isn't hard unless you are lazy. Just take notes and study the objective sheet he gives you. The best professor I have had and I have been at three colleges. You learn about yourself and life.
