Comment:

I've taken this professor for 1403 and 3003 and have loved her class both times. Her coursework is clear and organized. Almost everything can be studied through quizlet. A plus is also that her quizzes and exam assignments are not proctored. Easy course.

Another class taught by google. Super easy, didn't read anything as everything is online already. Super blow-off class will take an hour to to be done with everything for the month. She doesn't open everything at once so you do have to keep up with some dates but she gives lots of notices on when things are due. Tests are not proctored.

If you keep up with the work, the class is straight forward. Reading, a few videos, then some exercises to show comprehension. A pretty easy online class but can be a little boring at times.

Spring 2020: Lots of texts, but online and work at your own pace; however, the key is to get ahead and complete as soon as possible. The only way to fail or do poorly in this class is to wait until the last minute to complete your work. Possible to finish this class in a month.

Dr. Williams is a great professor! PPT lectures and videos each class and she will bring computer stuff to class for students to checkout. Simply review the PPT slides for the exams and you will get an A. No outside readings or anything. Very nice and funny lady. I would recommend.

She's a sweet lady but it's so hard to pay attention in class because she talks nonstop and the information is kinda boring. The tests are straight from the powerpoints so if you study those you'll do fine. There's also online homework due before every test but it's super easy.

Super easy class. Just make sure that you stay on top of it as the work can be very time consuming but the material is good to learn and very easy to get an A,

take williams for IS3003. every week there are fairly easy online assignments due (all answers are on quizlet), attendance isn't necessary (i haven't gone to class in a month and i ace the exams), there are four exams worth 70% of your grade that are very, very vocab-based and are based completely on her powerpoints. very easy A.

Comment:

Professor Williams came to each class prepared with lecture material that was entirely her own-- not just regurgitating lines from the textbook. The homework and quizzes are entirely from the textbook. The exams, however, are all from the PowerPoints in class. Study the PowerPoints and your class notes and you'll ace the tests.

Comment:

So far the class is easy,yet the lectures are very boring,i find myself involuntary sleeping, she puts way to much detail rather than simplifying her lectures, she's nice but very non-lenient, I have a an accommodation rightfully granted to me that allows for me to have slightly more time on exams,and she denied me because of delayed paperwork.

Karen Williams is responsible for hundreds of students per semester. However; she has replied to all my emails in a timely manner. In addition, there are TA lab hours that will work with you to help you increase your grade as long as you go to them before the assignments are due. Easy Class on Microsoft office apps. Id take Ms. Williams again.

Overall easy class. You need the book as each chapter has online homework, challenge, and quiz that you are graded on. Tests are over powerpoints and the homework questions. You don't need to attend class if you stay on top of the online assignments and her blackboard announcements for in class assignments.

Easy class if you STAY ON TRACK AND DO NOT GET LAZY! I can not stress that enough! If you clack off and wait until the last minute to do everything, trust me, it will not work out in your favor. But if you do things ahead, you'll get an A no doubt. She's really great about sending out reminder emails. Super nice lady!

Comment:

Believe me, this class was not an easy A. However, Professor Williams was extremely nice enough in terms of giving extra credit (there is extra credit for every exam). We had to take 4 exams in total, and all I needed was a 38 on the last exam to maintain my A, so make sure to do good on the first couple of exams. Overall, it was a great experience

I was hesitant about this class on the first days because she is an older lady, however it turned out to be one of the best professors i ever had. She is very sweet and willing to help out students, very clear on instructions, gives amazing lectures, and explains the material really well, and gives several chances for extra credit.
