Comment:

His lectures are very interesting. If you go to class, youll pass. The only thing that frustrated me about the class were how vague his test questions were. He tells us its better to take them with people since theyre online. My friend and I took them together, and with both brains we made As on all tests. Just go to class and dont email him

Comment:

DO NOT take this class if you are worried about GPA! This class consists of 4 tests and all the information comes ONLY from lecture. In order to get a good grade, you must write down EVERY minute detail and be able to interpret it in unorthodox ways. This lecture will have no correlation with lab. While entertaining, this class seemed impossible!!

DO NOT TAKE HIM! Unless you are prepared to teach yourself. His lectures are so off topic, yet is expected to know all this information on the exams. The exams are online but google nor the notes help that much on the exams so it makes it very difficult.

WOW Dr. Williams is a very intriguing man, he's the kind of professor I was expecting college to be like. He's out of the box, so yes you will hear about drugs, sex, but it pertains to lecture if you listen. He always say "you want me to just teach you about plants,or you want to know about things in the real world". GO TO CLASS PASS

Comment:

Dr. Williams is awesome! This was one of the best classes that I've ever taken. Funny lectures, some topics may include sex, drugs, etc, but EVERYTHING is related to the topic at hand. Information is not hard to understand, just alot to know but Dr. Williams does a lot of repetition to ensure students grasp the concept. Would definitely recommend!

Comment:

when ever prof Williams talks about sex and drugs he always connects it back to the topic at hand. The only tool he uses is google images which is actually really helpful. He also interacts with the students. If you get distracted easily than he is not for you, but he is an amazing lecturer. He'll keep your attention with funny facts too.

Comment:

professor williams is very off topic. he never stays on one powerpoint throughout an entire class. His test have nothing to do with what he talks about in class (which is always off topic). And his test are online, but they are the hardest test ever and have nothing to do with the notes taken. he was never on track with the lab teachings.

The only grades are the four exams. He does not take attendance, but if you do not go to class you won't pass. Everything on the tests are mentioned in his lectures. Take thorough notes and study the power point slides.

GO TO CLASS AND TAKE NOTES! He gives tests on blackboard but they are not easy. Bio is not my favorite, but this class was hard. You have to pay attention to every thing he says during class. He is funny, but he talks about sex A LOT.

Professor Williams is very funny, however he gets sidetracked most of the class period. His tests are online but are some of the hardest tests I have ever had to take. Difficult class, even more difficult lab. If you can, take someone else.

Dr Williams has a great personality and often gets sidetracked. his tests are all online but can be very difficult to pass because they include random little things he says in class. I recommend him but it is important to go to class.

Comment:

All he talks about is sex and drugs. He hardly ever talked about plants, but when he does you need to write down everything he says especially if he repeats it. The tests are probably the hardest tests i have ever taken. He only covers part of what is on the test so i recommend reading the book. If you can take a different professor you should.

Comment:

I took this professor because it was supposed to be an easy A. It's not. All he does is talk about drugs and other random things and yes those things are on the test. He let us choose if we wanted in person tests or online tests. Definitely go to class because most of the questions are based on his words, not the books.

Professor Williams is such an interesting man his lectures are funny and he actually makes you interested in botany If you go to class and take notes you will do good in the class. He repeats a lot of the stuff he says and thats what is mostly likely going to be on the test. Take him hes amazing!

Comment:

Yes it's true he talks a lot about sex, weed, etc.. but his class has for sure been the highlight of my beginning semester at university. I always leave his class with fun facts to tell my friends, and the dude *seriously* knows what he's talking about. Write EVERYTHING down, even the most obscure fact will show up on the test.

Comment:

He gets off topic a lot but he likes to put his random rants on the test so pay attention to everything he says. Best way to pass his class is to record his lectures because some of his material is hard to grasp the first time. No homework. Takes attendance by a word of the day but he doesnt do it all the time.

He is a funny professor, but he gets off topic way too much. Write down everything he says and maybe even record. Some of the exam questions refer back to his examples.

HE IS AWESOME. He gets off topic but really great dude. WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING HE SAYS. He is lecture, not everything you need will be on the power points.

Comment:

Really funny professor, but tends to go off topic and rant about random stuff a lot. Tests are online, but it's a little difficult to prepare because you don't really know what's going to be on them. Don't need the textbook although it does help for the lab sometimes.
