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 was awesome! Very helpful. Very easy to understand. I would highly recommend her. Very fair. Lots of extra credit
Best prof I ever had!
took her for biology lab, excellent teacher and very helpful
I took Professor Williams for the lab portion of Bio 1406. She explained things very well and made sure to go around and answer any questions you may have. I highly recommend her. If you do the work, you will make a good grade and learn a lot.
Professor Williams is excellent. Best professor I ever had! Try to take the lecture and the lab with her. You will learn a lot. She is funny and caring. Very easy to talk to. She is always willing to help. TAKE HER CLASS.
By far one of the best professors that I have ever had. She is willing to help you get the best grade possible. Really easy to talk to and responds to emails really quick. She will bump your grade up if she sees that you are trying your best. Would defiantly take her again. Attendance isn't mandatory but she knows when you don't show up to class.
Professor Williams is the bomb!! I am a non science major and she mad it easy, interesting, and fun. her lectures are great and she makes sure the material is understood. before a test or quiz she will review and answer question- all the time TAKE HER.
Two words. THE BEST
She substituted for my professor. I learned more with Dr Williams in 2 days than my professor in a semester. Wish I was in her class
Most caring professor. I hate science but she makes me like it. She so helpful. Easy to ask questions. Wish she could teach other classes. the best.
Prof. Williams is amazing! I learned more from her than my lecture professor! She really cares about her students and goes out of her way to make sure her students do her best! Would definitely take her again.
The best professor. Helped me with Chemistry too. Final grades posted an hour after final. HIGLY recomend her!!!
I took Professor Williams for Biology 1406 LAB and definitely enjoyed every minute of it. I struggled at the beginning because I've never been very good at hands-on experiments in Biology, but she definitely helped me through it. I really wanted to get my grade up, and she helped me a ton. She cares so much about her students. Would take again!
Her lectures are awesome. She explains so well and doesnt make u feel stupid if u ask a question. Shes funny too which makes science not so bad. Wish she taught all my classes. Would recommend highly
I had professor Williams for the biology lab. She would do her best to help you understand things from the lab and enforce your grades.
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.
Had a lot of material to cover & didn't manage time well. Her tests & quizzes are worded are super tricky. 5 quizzes, 5 exams, including the (cumulative) final. Extra credit is offered but very lengthy. If you don't do it, you'll miss out on about 6 q's on the test. Very considerate lady; don't take if you're not a bio major, not worth the stress.
LAB: Professor Williams is so sweet! She will try her hardest to help you understand biology and really just wants you to enjoy her class. She gives quizzes and lab reports, both are very easy if you are prepared. Her humor and enthusiasm makes lab bearable.
Dr Williams honestly cares about her students. If you take Biologu at Collin make sure you sign up with her. Very helpful. Awesome
Dr. Williams is so helpful guys. Whatever you need she will help you with. Mostly biology, but she is so willing to help with everything. Her classes are super funny and she really cares for her students. There is extra credit opportunity. They are long but you don't have to do them if you don't want. I would take her again 100 times.
I took Professor Williams at Richland this past semester. Be ready for pop quizzes and to basically teach yourself. Lectures were all over the place and the so called reviews were not relevant to the actual exams. Read your chapters and learn on your own kind of class. I had assignments that were never graded throughout my semester!
Ive been in Dr Williams class for a week and I love her. She is funny, understanding and caring. She explains the material so well. Im here to tell you to take her class. She always help before and after class. I hope she teach other classes too. I will take her many times.
Professor Williams taught a class at SCC this summer. Her lectures are easy to understand. She explains everything so well. If you ask a question she doesnt make u feel stupid. SHe will answer everything and goes above and beyond to help you. I wish she taught other classes at SCC. If u have to take biology TAKE IT WITH PROFESSOR WILLIAMS. You won
She talked about chemistry ALOT! she likes to make jokes about how hard it is which makes no sense considering youre teaching a biology class! She moves very fast and tries to help the students that can keep up. i dont recommend choosing her as a teacher. I had an A in my lab class but i was failing her class so that should tell you something!
I enjoy her teaching style and personality. If you come to class with a desire to get things done, listen, and do the work, you'll pass. She's a great professor. Just don't blow her class off and don't be afraid to ask questions. She wants you to succeed.
An excellent professor. Very caring about her students. Always there to help. Easy to understand. Cared about me doing well and my grades. Funny too. Made it easy and fun to go to class
Biology is not my best subject but prof. Williams is super passionate in her lecture. Her lecture can go by fast but if you pay attention it's really easy to follow! No homework/readings. Her lecture gets me excited to come to class even though its like 8am.
I am a forein student. If I took biology with another profesor I would not pass. Dr Williams class was very good to understand even for me. But when I have questions dr Williams always help me. She is very good at helping and patience. I wish she teach all my other classes
You guys I used to hate science and biology. Because of professor Williams I like it now. She is caring she is friendly and wants her students to learn and do good. She met with me outside of class for help more than 10 times. I wish she was teaching bio 2. Would take her again in a heartbeat
If you are planning to take biology at Collin DO take Dr Williams. She is EXCELENT. SHE REALLY CARES about her students and is an awesome professor. Her lectures are incredible. And funny
A friend told me about dr Williams. Im glad I took her. She is awesome. Easy to understand and really cares about her students. Do the work and you will pass. I felt I could ask anything without being embarrassed.
Dr Williams is the best professor at Collin. She explains very clear and answers all the questions all the time but doesnt make you feel dum. She is funny and tells good stories. She tries to match the class to life. Take her. Youll love her to
Provides study guides but re words all test
I love dr William. She is so caring for the students. She always help you. Her class is easy to understand. She explain very well. I want her to teach other classes. She is very easy to talk to.
This is my 3rd time taking Bio 1. Failed it twice. So I used this site to look up professors. Dr Williams has good reviews. So I signed up for her class. Im passing. She is awesome. She explains very well. She cares that you do good in class. Very helpful. Ive learned more in 2 weeks than the other 2 semesters in Bio. She is excellent.
Professor Williams is such a great teacher. Shes one of the most caring teachers Ive ever had and truly does want you to learn. If you show her that you work hard and that you do want to get better she will help you so much. Shes also a really good teacher, its just a heavy course. She makes biology actually fun to learn!
Dr Williams is the most amazing professor I have had. She is very caring and takes time to help you. Her lectures are very understanding and she explains really good. I would not have passed bio if it wasnt for her
An excellent teacher cares about her students very helpful. Very caring
I wouldn't recommend to take her. She is nice and caring all that But her quizzes and practicals are way too hard, Her reviews are all over place and it is hard to know what will be in the exam.
I hate school. I enjoyed going to her class. She is caring and funny and doesnt make you feel stupid. She tells some cool stories and you can talk to her after class take her clas
She is awesome! She will work with you if you needing that extra help. She wants you to succeed.
Dr Williams is an excellent professor. She cares about her students and that they do good. She always comes around to help you. You can ask many questions. I hope she teaches other classes.
Dr Williams is extremely helpful and caring. She constantly checks on her students and is always there to help. She is awesome. Take her class.
If your planning to take bio 1 or 2 at Collin make sure you take dr Ana Williams class. She is funny and nice. She really cares about her students and your grade. She will always help you. She will help in chemistry too. You can also get help in the tutoring den with her. She is very nice
Took class during pandemic. Was nervous about assigned times for exams and quizzes that coincided with my work schedule but she was more than happy to change my times to fit my schedule. She was always available for any help/ questions I had. I only got a B because I just didn't have the time to study as much as I needed to. She's great. Take her.
Im takin the hybrid course. I wish it was all in class ms Williams is so good. I learn more in class than in any other class. She is funny and always willing to help
Professor Williams is an awesome Biology professor! She gives amazing lectures and posts valuable resources on canvas. It's important to show up to class and follow along with all the modules she posts because you'll fall behind if you don't. She cares about her students and super helpful!
I had Professor Williams for my class and lab and she really does want her students to succeed! Quick to respond to emails and questions. Gives some study guides before tests. If you listen and study you can get an A. After class one day I was having trouble with something, but she stayed with me after and helped me! Really sweet professor!
I had Professor Williams for my lecture and lab! Really great! Quick to respond to emails and questions! If you listen and study, you can get an A. One time after class I was having trouble with a concept, but she stayed with me afterwards and helped me until I understood. Really sweet professor and you can tell she wants her students to succeed!
Mrs Williams is a caring teacher. She really cares about us learning and will always help us. She was very easy to talk to about class work and outside things. Definitely recommend
I read the other reviews and thought I would enjoy her class. This was my first bio class in 5 yrs. The sem was rough for everyone, but she didnt do anything to help. she was unorganized, panicked, and doesn't respond in time. about 30-40% of questions for tests are not from anything we learn. I never give bad reviews or complain but this was bad
Best professor Ive ever had. So caring and understanding. Goes out of her way to help the students. Will work with you if you are absent. Vete knoeledable. Highly recommend!
Professor Williams is a great choice for a biology professor. She provided TONS of extra study material, videos, and recorded lectures, including written demonstrations on her iPad, as well as really helpful test reviews and study guides. In-person, she's a great teacher and very approachable, and she will answer any questions you have in-depth.
her lectures are excellent. she also does online on her ipad. shes very helpful and cares that you pass. easy to ask a question. i will take her for a&p
best professor i have ever taken. she cares about her students and it shows. if i had a question she always answered. very helpful. explains really good
I took the class during the summer and it was too fast-paced for me. I spent 5 weeks studying biology all day. It was a great class but I feel like the stuff I was studying and knew was never on the test. I barely got a C in the class. I feel that if it was in a regular semester I would have done better, Ms. Williams is a great professor.
Best professor at Collin. She explained the material in detail and didn't read the powerpoint. I wish she taught other classes. i would take her again. Easy to talk to and funny
Professor Williams is probably one of the best professors I have had at Collin College. She cares for her students and wants all of her students to succeed. Anatomy is hard but she makes it seem easy. Do not ignore the papers she hands out, they are based off of her quizzes. Put in the work, ask questions, go to class and you will pass with an A
Professor williams is extremely caring, she wants her students to pass but she loves giving out quizzes and tests. I had her for both lab and lecture and we had a lab quiz every week and lecture quizzes and exams every other week. She wants you to pass and will help if you ask for it. Make sure to look at the worksheets before quizzes.
Dr Williams was a caring professor. She was always there to help me. She actually explains and doesn’t just read the PowerPoint. I would take her again for sure. Easy to talk with.
Professor Williams is amazing. She will help students learn A&P easier than it should be. I like her teaching style. Though she does not require participation, you must attend class because everything she mentions in class will be in the exams. And do not forget to look at the handouts before the quizzes.
Professor Williams is so caring and will help you succeed throughout the class. Make sure to take advantage o her office hours and her science den appointment that she has during the week. Ask a lot of questions don't be scared she will make sure you are ready for every exam and quiz in the class. she is an amazing professor and you need her!!!!!!
Take her you won't regret it !!
TAKE HER! You won't regret it, she really cares about her students' success. Go to her office hours, ask as many questions as you can. Recommend showing up to every class as she will highlight what is most important. I wish I could take her for every class.
Professor Williams is very kind and funny, but the class material is hard. Professor provides slideshows, and you can record her lectures if you ask her ahead of time. There is lots of material to cover so it is very fast-paced, and you will need to read the textbook frequently.
Professor Williams is very caring and wants her students to succeed. She teaches anatomy by coloring and labeling worksheets. I liked this style of teaching, but if you ask her she will go over the models. There is a lot of material so you need to make sure to study weekly. If you put in the work you will get a good grade. Go to every class!
Second time taking this class. If I had de Williams the first time I would of understood the material and passed. She teaches very well. Explains everything. She is very caring and wants you to learn
(lab review) She was a bit disorganized & her style of teaching wasn't for me. She is very kind & hilarious though! She loves when people ask questions! SHOW UP TO EVERY CLASS + RECORD HER LECTURES. Read the lab manual (source of her quiz questions + better understanding of everything). SIT IN FRONT OF THE CLASS + STAY AFTER LECTURES (it helps)!!
Her lectures are very informative, but make sure to study material in the textbook, notes, and other things she provides on Canvas. The exams are difficult and even more so if you do not study. She teaches the material very well, and I can tell she loves the subject. If you study hard and attend lectures, you will pass this class.
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
Study in your own! She is unorganized!
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!!
I took Dr Williams for Biology and anatomy. If it had not b
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.
Dr. Williams care about her students. She is always there to help u. Her lectures are very complete and she explains very good. I am going to take her next class
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.
