Do NOT take professor williams. She is a terrible professor. She will tell you that you need to know certain things for the exam, but you really will need to know the entire textbook chapter(s) for the test. I recommend taking ANYONE else other than her.

She's very caring and wants you to get a good grade in class. Grade is based off of only 5 quizzes and 5 tests including the final. The wording on her quizzes and tests are tricky. However, some questions from the quiz is on the test. There's a lot of material and it can get overwhelming studying, but she gives great extra credit.

unorganized, took forever to grade, never returned our in class quizzes which would have made the lab practicals slightly easier, you definitely have to "reteach" yourself because her lab lectures weren't very helpful and were all over the place

I was somewhat skeptical about taking a course online but I had to due to my work schedule. From her welcome video, Dr. Williams made me feel welcome. She is extremely helpful and caring. I met with her a few times via Zoom and was always there to help with a smile. My only regret was not to have taken the course in person. She was very accommo

TAKE HER FOR BIO!! She does not rush the learning process. She answers questions very clearly and genuinely wants you to understand the material and do well. She offers extra credit. She does not make you learn the super complex stuff. She's super sweet and funny. The HW is long but can be found online for the most part.

Professor Williams is a really good teacher. If you pay attention in class and have good notes the entire thing is a breeze. Definitely would take her again if I had the chance.

Reports are easy, quizzes and practicals are NOT. The practical reviews are not helpful at all, and it is ridiculously hard. She locks quizzes/practicals, so you never know what you got wrong. If you want to email her, good luck. It took me THREE emails just for to give me a one worded response. Such a frustrating professer to have.

Great professor that is very caring and hilarious. ALWAYS come to class and ALWAYS look at the slides under the microscope for the histology. Her quizzes are based on the lab manual mostly so you need to do the reviews on there. If you need help with the models you can always ask her questions and go to her office hours. Great professor!!

Be prepared to READ READ READ!! She is a great professor and knows how to teach her class. The few problems I had with her are she likes to give out 25-question quizzes and only gives you 15 minutes to complete them. The quizzes are NOT easy either. She also likes to group many chapters together for the quizzes so it's not easy studying for them.

If you genuinely care about passing her class and are willing to put in the effort, Professor Williams will bend over backward to help you. She is amazing, kind, and caring. I wish all professors were like her!

This was a harder course for me, I didn't end up with the grade I wanted, BUT I still believe she's one of the best professors out there! One thing is that she cares very much and will help you excel, IF YOU'RE WILLING TO PUT IN THE EFFORT on your end! Show that you care to study, and she will be there for you! If I could retake the class, I would

Even though I got a C, that was a me thing, not a her thing. She is so nice and so understanding. She goes in depth with her lectures and will repeat things as much as you need! She also provides so many sources to study, she does not want you to fail! She will sit with you until you get! I 1000% recommend her class!!!

She is one of my favorite professors. She could probably teach rocket science to a fifth grader. She explains concepts thoroughly, connects ideas to real examples, and makes sure everyone understands before moving on. She simplifies every topic in a way that makes it easy to grasp.

She was a nice teacher but due to not always being able to come to class I ended up with a C 2 semesters ago. Her reviews never really matched her quizzes and tests but she said it was because attendance was required. Still I feel like the reviews and homework's should've matched the material on the test, I wouldn't take her again personally.

She never really made clear what chapters you needed to read so for example, if you were in chapter 10, you'd assume to only read that chapter, however, she'd reference chapter 11 in lecture as well. Very kind and knowledgeable, just very lecture heavy. She makes it a point to open the floor to questions, so that was nice.

Take Prof Williams! Go to all her lectures, ask questions in class, understand the homework and you'll be good. Super nice, gives lots of extra credit and the class is pretty straightforward. Whatever she talks about in class and what she assigns for homework is what's on the exam. Easy A if you put in 50% effort.

Amazing professor that cares for her students! Definitely take her if you are willing to attend all her lectures as her lectures focus on what she'll be testing you on for her tests. Did amazing on her tests but didn't do the best on quizzes as they were free response whilst the test were multiple choice. Also gives extra credit.

She was a caring professor but her test reviews never matched her exams. I wouldn't take her again personally. You literally have to go to every single one of her lectures and read the textbook.
