Comment:

Dr. Williams is a nice person, and he can be funny. BUT he is unorganized. He handwrites all his notes, quizzes, and test. His notes are so hard to follow because they are all over the place. Trying to understand his handwriting and what he means in his notes is really hard. If he'd just be a little more organized, he would be great!

Dr. Williams is a very good chemistry professor. He will help you any way that he can. If you have to take organic chem at any time at Francis Marion, you definitely would want him.

Comment:

Dr. Williams is probably the most helpful professor in the science building at FMU. I have had him for Chem 101, 102, and 201. I made good grades in all of these courses, mostly due to his help. If you have any issues with a chem course you are taking or the lab, he is more than willing to help you with it. Best chem prof guaranteed.

Comment:

Likes to hand-write notes that you copy for class. Very hard to read and he crams as much as he can onto one page. Same for his tests and quizes. You have to be able to decipher the notes because they will be on the test! Very helpful out of class, as long as you don't need him before 11:30. Tests and quizes were not easy.

Comment:

Professor Williams, is a very good teacher, you get a C just for showing up to class everyday. I think that he is the easiest teacher and he will work with you as much as he can to make sure you understand the work.

Comment:

Dr Williams finds a way to break the most complex subject down to any of the students. The context of the course is not the easiest to grasp, but he is more than fair. Always willing to help.

YES, DOC WILL IS HARD BUT HE IS FAIR. IF ANYONE WANTS TO KNOW HOW TO PASS THE CHEMISTRY PART OF THE MCAT THEN THIS IS THE MAN TO LEARN FROM. YOU DONT HAVE TO LIKE THE MAN TO LEARN WHATS IN THAT BRAIN OF HIS. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE HIS CHEM KNOWLEDGE THEN BE DOC WILLS SHADOW. <-- B OR MORE FOR SURE.

They don't get much EASIER than Doc Wills. I mean if you have a video for the chemistry FINAL exam, then how can you even list him as a "difficult" teacher or anything negative really. HAHA, GO DOC WILLS!!!

Comment:

Dr. Williams is really nice and knows his stuff but when it comes to teaching it is a whole other ball game. His notes are very unorganized and he just goes thru everything sooo fast. Most of the time he doesn't remember when a due date is.

Comment:

Compared to other professors at fmu, your chances at an A is extremely difficult, but considering the level of difficult chemistry already is, he gets the job done. Try taking the same class with about 300 people in it. I promise it could be worse!

Comment:

Very helpful, but you'll need it. His notes are very disorganized and difficult to decipher. Read the book and it could help you. If you need more help, go to Dr. Hankinson
