Dr. Williamson was awesome! Her summer online class was very interesting. A bit of work, however I did take it over a mini-mester. I got an A. She is very helpful ans responds to emails very quickly. I will definately take her again. I actually learned alot that I can use in my day to day activities.
LOVED Dr. Williamson! Took her mini-mester online and she really wants you to learn! You do have to read the book, but that is how you learn. She is there for you when needed, and a wonderful professor. Lots of Quizzes - but she dropped the 3 lowest, and give some extra credit work. Take her - she is GREAT!!
Is a nice person. Teaches well. Her class to me is very hard b'c she doesn't give reviews before tests. That makes testing very difficult. Is helpful answers emails. I don't know if I'd take her again simply b'c I need reviews in order to study effectively, I currently have a high b in this class but until now had a 4.0 in ALL classes up to this 1.
LOVED HER! Extremely interesting subject with an extremely interesting and easy to learn from teacher! But then theres the tests... The tests were a bit on the difficult side and I completely understood the material. Hard work but interesting and enjoyable class!
She is GREAT!!!!! She was the best, she was very clear about her directions and followed her schedule. He workload was very managable. I took this class online and I recommend her to everyone!!!
I think she is a great teacher. It is not an easy A so read all the chapters that you will be tested on. Show up, take notes, and ask for help when you need it. She'll definitely help you out.
she's very incouraging,friendly and nice! responds to emails quickly and w/substance. Her quizzes can be hard, so study her notes and the chapters!! She does drop the lowest 3grades on the quiz. Offers extra credit in the end! She also lets you get ahead on quizzes. Midterm is very lengthy!
I took this class online it was convenient all test are online too. It is not an easy class. Quizes every week with assignments or research and a ton of reading. Midterm and Final are long and tough. It can be hard to keep up if you don't have to time to put into it.
Took her class online(my first one)so didn't know what really to expect. There was alot of reading with a quiz every week.The assgnmts weren't hard or time consuming.The midterm was pretty long essay form.Final also had alot of questions. She drops lowest 3 quizzes and offers some extra credit. She's a good teacher, not for slackers
Wonderful instructor, and will help with anything you need. Gives awesome feedback! She actually made Psyc interesting. I took this as a DL class.
wonderful instructor she really cares about her students. offers some extra credit. tests are multiple choice true or false and she sometimes puts in a bonus. tests are over her lectures so go to class and take notes. she really makes class interesting and fun.
SHE IS WONDERFUL!! Took her on-line, lots of reading, quiz every week and definitely if you don't want to do the work DON'T TAKE THE CLASS!! She knows her stuff. Mid-Term lengthy - but she gave me my KUDOS and knew I had put my time in to earn that grade. TAKE HER TAKE HER TAKE HER!!!!
She is a wonderful professor. Took class online, Quiz and assignment weekly and long midterm and final...Great Class and teacher...Very Clear.
She loves psych, and shares her passion. Assignments are easy to understand and not that difficult. Tests include essay questions, so take the time to prepare/study! I really enjoyed this class, and kinda wish I needed another Psych course, just to take another one from her.
Took her online, Good teacher! Lessons are very useful and 95% of it is on the quizzes. If you put forth the effort the class will be easy! Response quickly...w/in about 12 hours!
If you fail this class, it's because you failed to read and do your assignments!! She even gives one extra crdeit assignment, I would have had a perfect A if it were not for me missing the first quiz. You have to read every chapter and quizzes, print all your notes given and read them too. She responds rather quickly on emails too. Good Luck
Fantastic teacher. She loves the subject and tried to pass that on to the students. You'll do well if you pay attention, attend class, and do your assignments.
greatest psyc teacher ever!
Very passionate about her work and about teaching the class. Shes tough on her students but only in order to develop them and make them better. Extremely helpful. Must read the book and on your own time. exams difficult i you dont study or miss the in class notes and/or video clips. LOVE HER!!!!
Great online class! One quiz and one assignment due every Monday. The assignments are easy and can offset a low quiz grade. She drops three quizzes. I did not buy the book and I will still make an A. The key to getting by in this class with out the book is reading the online lessons and doing some independent research online. One exam: the final.
This prof. is incredible!!! Took this class online this past semester. One assignment and one quiz a week. She makes it very interesting, is super fast at responding to emails even with an online class of 84, and her instructions were super clear. Read, do the work, end up learning a lot, get the A. LOVED it :)
She is an AMAZING teacher!!! As long as you go to class,study and take notes you will do very well in her class. She makes everything interesting to learn and is a very helpful teacher!
While the class attendance is not OFFICIALLY required, she has told us herself that she will test us on stuff we randomly talk about in class. She does NOT give out notes, outlines or do slide shows. YOu have to figure out what she wants. Reading is required and is awful because you cannot figure exactly what to study. DO NOT recommend this prof!
If you want to pass her class, you have to be willing to study on your own time and actually show up. I recommend attending class every day, because she goes over things in class sometimes that the book may not detail. She genuinely wants students to succeed, and her lessons are always very clear. Pay attention, take notes, you'll do well!
I JUST LOOOOVE DR. WILLIAMSON. SHE IS THE GREATEST TEACHER EVER. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT IS TO TAKE HER CLASS BUT ONLINE IS EASY. ONE QUIZ AND ONE ASSIGNMNENT DUE EVERY MONDAY. SHE ALWAYS GIVES FEEDBACK ON YOUR GRADES, GRADES QUICK & NOT TOO HARD. RIGHT NOW I'M MAKING A 95 IN HER CLASS. SHE IS THE GREATEST. I WOULD ADVISE ANYONE TO TAKE HER ONLINE.
She was the best teacher I have ever had! Attendance is not mandatory, but if you want to learn anything or do well you should go. She does not spoon feed you, which is good. But she always asks if you understand everything and will work with you to develop study techniques. She also makes the subject manner more interesting! TAKE HER CLASS!!!
I loved the text this teacher used!!! The book was a like a trapper keeper with 5 thin manuals inside, each with a few chapters. You took the one with the chapter you were working in. The ease and comfort level of this course was nice! Would recommend =)
The tests are extremely long, and some information was not in the book, but rather the in-class lectures. In class movies are a recommended stay-n-watch because they are the majority on tests/quizzes. Easy to understand, willing to help, however, if you miss a class you cannot make up tests or quizzes. Period. No excuses. Have fun! Good luck!
Dr. Williamson is an awesome teacher. She really loves psychology, and it shows in her lectures. You do need to study and show up to class, because she tells stories and shows movies that are on the test. I made a B, but I missed class a lot. I could have easily made an A if I studied even a little more and showed up more. Highly recommend!
Dr. Williamson is such an awesome professor! She's very fun, knows the material, and loves teaching. The book is somewhat necessary, but mostly take notes on lectures to do well. Dr. Williamson will help you and give review days for tests. You WILL learn in her class if you try at all!
She is a hilarious and fun teacher! I highly recommend you take this teacher. Her tests are easy if you read the book and take her notes. She usually clarifies whats on the test and whats not. You have 6 quizzes through out the semester but she tells you when they are. Plus, one research paper which is easy! TAKE HER, YOU WONT REGRET IT!
Reading is a must EVERYDAY, only get if you know some psyc go if your beginner don't bother but if you actually study you will do fine. Her quizzes are really random does not really tell you what is on it but it they are short. Her tests are extremely long! Like 40/50 questions most questions were not from power points. She is a great prof though
She is an awesome teacher! You def want to show up everyday because her lectures ARE the tests. She wants you to read the chapter before going to class but I never did and still got an A. There are a couple quizzes but she tells you what they are over and when they are so no surprises. And she drops your worst test grade!
She is awesome! Took her for intro to psych and child development & she's just plain great! You must attend class order to pass and read your text. She is always super helpful when you have questions. She's my favorite professor.
Love this professor! I am really interested in psych, so the material came easily to me. I love her lecture style and looked forward to coming to this class every day. I really admire her and wish she could teach all my classes! Funny, extremely intelligent, helps you remember the material in new and interesting ways, A+ professor!
Dr. Williamson's online psychology course is the best online class I have ever taken! I loved that she was so organized and already had everything planned out that needed to be done. One assignment and one test a week. She also offered extra credit through discussion boards. I only wish now that I could have taken her class in person to meet her :P
She is a wonderful professor. I was really worried about taking an online class due to a past experience but she made it awesome. She is very straight forward with her instructions and her quizzes are straight from the textbook. I would definitely recommend her!
I took her online this summer, so the course was very accelerated. We did do a lot of work, but she made sure you had every resource available to you, including herself. The class is defiantly not hard, just do the work.
Great teacher! she gives the best lectures, easy to understand and have class discussions. I never got bored in this class. Attendance is important because she talks about everything you need to know. Test are pretty easy just have to study!
BEST professor I have ever had! She absolutely LOVES what she is teaching! Come to class everyday and pay attention= easy A. She tells you exactly what will be on test just from lecturing. I haven't read the book or studied and I am making an A. I wish she taught all subjects!!
Professor Williamson is a great instructor! She is very organized and she is also VERY helpful. She will not allow any late work but if you are a dedicated person, you will be OK. Pay close attention to her study guides for every chapter, you'll be glad you did when you take the quizzes. I highly recommend her!
I have taken Dr. Williamson for more than one class and if she taught more, I would take her for those as well. YES she is strict when it comes to turning in your work, but if you have questions or concerns with something, she is always there to help. Would recommend her to anyone!
She is very direct an to the point. She assignments are explained well. She gives opportunities for extra credit. You do have to at least look over the material and her online lessons. One of the quizzes was a gimmie quiz. For her short papers she tells you exactly what she wants. They are just 1-1.5 page papers with sources. Not hard at all.
I just completed the online class. I must say she was awesome! you need your book! She is willing to help. She gets back with you when you email her. I passed her class with an A. make sure you LOOK and READ the ONLINE Lessons. Take her class you wont regret it!
Professor Williamson is a great online teacher. I took the general psychology class Spring 2014 and she made it interesting. The assignments were easy to complete if done ahead of time. If you put in the work, she notices and commends you for it. She responds to your emails promptly. I recommend her if you want an online psychology class.
Clear and easy to understand what she wants. Heavy reading class. I read the book from cover to cover. She give two extra credit opportunities, take advantage of them.
I took her for summer of 2014, and you have to work for your A. No Study guide but she gives notes for each chapter and tells you what to read and what you need to know. You have to read your book. She has 2 extra credit. Only one chance for quizzes, but you have to chances on your final. She very organized and responds quickly to e-mails.
I took the blended class (half onlinehalf in class). It's a lot of reading, but when we meet for class once a week, she goes over the chapter and helps us understand it and get a better sense of what it's talking about. I'm a forgetful person, so I like that she constantly sends out reminders!
This was my first online class, so going in I was a bit nervous. Dr. Williamson was the best professor I've ever had. She knows her business quite well and is VERY organized. Very quick to get back with you and she is so caring and wants you to learn. A lot of professors could learn some valuable tips from her!
if you plan to have a life dont take her unless you dont have one . Her quizzes are not even from the chapters but made up ones. The test prep is not even helpful because she doesn't use them. She takes points off everything she doesn't like. She also doesnt offer every many extra credit and if she does you have to overwork for 4POINTS she hard.
I have no idea of what the last person is talking about. If you attend class, and yes, you do have to read, you actually learn. She offered substantial extra credit. I would take as many courses as I could from her as she actually challenged me and wanted me to succeed. She's the best professor, by far, I've ever had.
I have just completed the fall online Psych course. Dr. Williamson was by far, THE BEST PROFESSOR, I have ever had the pleasure of attending a class with. She gives feedback and responds to emails. She was very clear and concise on expectations and offers many extra credit opportunities. You do need the text book and you will read most of it.
Wonderful Professor! Her class is very easy if you pay attention and attend. She does not offer any make up quizzes or make up in-class assignments. She will find other ways to help you succeed in her class by offering other options. Overall, I actually like this class, and I appreciates the fact that she gives positive feedback.
it doesn't get any better than having dr Williamson as your professor
She's such a great teacher! I would definitely recommend her. I took her for a blended class(meets only once a week). You do have to read the book, there was quizzes over every chapter. Test where easy if you study but she does give study guides! She also offers extra credit in the class. If you do your work you will get an A!
Took class on line, very nice professor. The tests are difficult and I had to scavenger hunt a lot of the answers from the book and the notes. Overall I would recommend even though I got stuck with a high 89 that was not adjusted.
Excellent professor!! You must read the book if you want to pass the class. One quiz for every chapter and occasional assignments. Follow her instructions and youll be fine. I would definitely recommend this professor.
Excellent instructor!! Very upfront with her grading and provides great, timely feedback. It's essential you read her class lessons in addition to the textbook. Your grade depends on what you earn. I highly recommend taking Dr. Williamson for ANY class!
Dr. Williamson is awesome! I took her psychology class online this summer. Of course there is a ton of reading but that is to be expected. She gives great feedback, extra credit, and you KNOW exactly what she is going to test you over! She does count off for bad grammar and poor spelling, so double check that! Otherwise, great course and teacher!
I took her online Psychology course, and she was definitely my most favorite. She leaves adequate feedback on assignments and appears to be a very sweet person. I have never had a problem with any of the material/instructions in this course. If you read/take notes for the chapters in the book and read the online lessons, you will do just fine.
I do not know if I am crazy or what, but I have had a tough time in this class. Not only do you have to read the whole book, oh, I read it, she gives answers on test that I could have forgotten in a minute. She is very kind, but sadly I feel that this class was not for me nor for my interest since I wanted a been there, done that class, I am sorry.
I really enjoyed this class! There is a quiz every week, but if you thoroughly read/take notes, you can pass easily. There are occasional assignments that are usually a short essay/summary. She is a very nice and leaves feedback; there are also a couple of chances for extra credit. Make sure you always read the online lessons before a quiz though!!
Took a blended class, meet once a week and the other day is when quizzes are due at midnight. Final isn't accumulative. You should attend class because there are questions over videos she showed. She allows one take home exam. Really nice and responds to emails quickly. Drops three minor grades.
Dr. Williamson is AWESOME! If you fail this class, it's because you didn't do the work. I took this class as an 8 week online course. There is tons of reading and there are quizzes with every chapter, but they are super easy as long as you read. The writing assignments were not very tough either. She is wonderful and super helpful!!!
Great professor. She gives six tests but they're not difficult as long as you review your notes. Make sure you take notes from the PowerPoints though. Her class is not hard as long as you show up and pay attention. She is very funny and down to earth. I would take her again if I could.
She was the best! Definitely take her!
Mrs. Williamson is one of the best teachers I have had. She really cares about her students and encourages them often, and this helped me to stay focused and succeed in her class. She is very detailed with her assignments, which was great since it was an online class. I feel blessed that she was my teacher. Excellent teacher who really cares!
I took this Psyc 2301 online and it was an 8 week class. Mrs williamson is my favorite person. So sweet and helpful. It was a difficult class, but she did such a good job with communication!! she even wrote me recommendation letters. So sweet.
Really people, you think a challenge and reading an entire book can help ya'll learn and even a useless review day with her being there to be asked question rather than have actually gone over the material on her exams. Yeah, ok!!!!!
People say she's the best pro really need to seek more better pros especially in this subject. She was unclear with exams and had a low interest in helping me.
No notes, No outline, No recommending. She even has to be making this class harder than it is.
I really enjoyed this class, professor Williamson is a wonderful and sweet woman. I was out for a couple of weeks and she worked with me to keep up my grades, which was super helpful. On the days the class meets (blended course) she goes in depth about the chapter which is beneficial for the class when exams approach.
I love her as a professor, she's very clear and open for helping. Since its blended on our face to face day she goes over every lesson in depth and makes sure you have a clear understanding. She's honestly amazing if I could take her again I would.
I loved this class. I love her teaching style, the lectures, assignments, videos, even the exams. All around great class.
She's a great teacher, clearly guides you on how to write papers and discussion post. Moderate amount of work for an online class, overall pretty easy. If I would have done the first two lessons I would have received an A but that's only on my part. Would take again.
This class reads upwards of 400 pages of material. But Dr. Williamson is always available to help one-on-one. She is not overbearing at all, yet she challenges students to think critically and actually learn. Class time is interesting and she obviously loves what she teaches - which to me is a plus. She is elated when her students to succeed!
Professor Williamson really cares about her students. On EVERY assignment she gives feedback like "Great job!", or "Good job, this is how to make it better...". She is very responsive to emails. IF YOU DON'T READ THE BOOK YOU WONT PASS!!! About 95% of the quizzes is info ONLY given to you straight from the book (still read her lectures though).
I really enjoyed this class, even thought I took this class online I could really tell that she really cares and enjoys teaching, she gives really good feedbacks every single time, LOTS OF READING!! I read the entire book in just 6 weeks, quizzes for every chapter, but they were really short 14-17 questions max, extra credit opportunities.
Dr. Williamson is one of the best professors I have ever had! She drops your three lowest quiz grades and gives feedback on every assignment. This was an online class so I don't know if it differs from a regulate show up to an actual classroom, but anyway TAKE HER!!!!! You will not regret it!
Dr. Williamson is a very good instructor. She makes it very clear in the beginning of how the class will be and what will be covered. As long as you read the material she has scheduled ( ESPECIALLY the Online Lessons she provides) you will pass the class. She is very good with feedback and communicates well via Email. Very well organized.
I liked the class very much
THE BEST PROFESSOR FOR PSYCHOLOGY. Make sure you are in class and taking notes. WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING SHE SAYS, NOT JUST POWER POINTS! For all of you first-year students, treat her kindly. Very respectable and the ? of the day will have you LOL.
She was a great teacher. I didn't read a single page out the book and I have an A+ in there right now. If you go to class, everything from the test comes from her lectures. She always keeps the lectures upbeat and fun. Definitely recommend taking her class.
Hello, I took this class last semester and was very pleased with how the class was conducted. Professor Williamson was very curtious in giving as much feedback as necessary. Her syllabus and course outline is to the point. Mostly everything was straight to the point. I enjoyed her online course. I am very very pleased!
She was a wonderful, enjoyable teacher. i recommend her to everyone. she knew her info, had good powerpoints, gave you time to copy down notes, tests were ACTUALLY from the notes, and if you studied you had no trouble passing. she made it funny and interesting, i still remember most of what i learned from her
Very understanding, test are tricky but not hard. Responds quickly, grades easy, no homework, hardly no test, quizzes and like 2 very short essays. This class is a must! Shes' awesome!
She is very organized, and grades everything very fast!! I enjoyed her class, very interesting!
Dr. Williamson was a wonderful professor. I took her as an online class but feel as if I attended her physical lectures. She was very approachable and she definitely knows her stuff. If you legit read the assigned chapters, you'll pass easily, but if reading isn't your thing you might want to look elsewhere. Extra Credit occasionally available.
Her online class is an attainable A. Just pay attention to deadlines and put in genuine effort into the essays. The few short essays are incorporated into the lesson in a way that is interesting and made me actually want to write (that's rare). plus: easy quizzes, lowest 3 grades dropped, extra credit available. I wish she taught PSYC-2314!
Her lectures are interesting and engaging. Makes the class fun by doing activities and mind games. However, she throws a (ton) of info at you you're left guessing what is going to be on the test. The essays are very challenging as well because she doesn't tell you what they're about! Final exam and project in class too. Avoid her if you can.
Loved this class. Was sad to have it end. I did not want to take a psychology class but I feel like I learned so much. Reading the book is helpful because she expands so much more on it in class lectures. There were times that I could not believe how fast time went in class because it's never boring. Tests were fair and can't take a "cheat sheet".
This professor is the best, yes there is online textbook that you must read in order to pass her class, plus the lecture notes. Just study every thing you wrote down in class and key words in textbook and you will pass. I got A in this class. Great professor.
Mostly everything on test will be reviewed during lecture, take notes to get an A. You don't need to buy a book it's online :)
Dr. Williamson is very amazing, She truly cares and is very respectful. She does offer extra credit and drops two-three of your lowest quiz grades. She is incredibly fast at grading and posting grades, additionally, she writes comments on everyone's scantron. She is available during office hours and very happy and willing to help & answer questions.
Great professor, knows what she is talking about. I loved the class, get ready to read and to work for that A. The class is not easy, but i would take again!
She makes the class interesting and relatable which I really enjoyed. Gives extra credit, great feedback and drops quizzes. What more can you ask for? She is a great professor who actually cares and asks if you need help. Would take her again if I could!
I LOVED HER!! Professor Williamson is probably one of the best I've ever taken. Really engaging, plans people to come it to talk to us. We had one with a mom and her son come in and talk about Autism, and learned so much! Advice: print out power points with notes on the sides!!
If you are looking for an awesome online teacher for Psychology Dr. Williamson is the best! She always gives feedback. You definitely need the book, I rented mine on amazon for $20. Make sure to copy & paste key points in each of her online lessons & note which pg to find it on. Drops your 3 lowest quiz grades, & allows 2 chances on final. Take her
Took this as a summer class. I loved that Dr. Williamson communicated often through announcements and feedback on assignments. She drops the lowest 3 quizzes and gives two chances at the final. Having this class during the summer, workload gets a little heavy in the middle of the semester but doable and she makes up for it with an easier lesson.
Professor Williamson was one of the best professors I've had. She is quick to respond to emails and is always happy to help. After each chapter, she provided her own lecture notes and there was a quiz. There were 2-3 short papers, she offered 2 extra credit assignments, and she dropped the three lowest quiz grades. Get ready to read!
Just read the book and you'll pass!
This online class is quiz heavy, but it's all open book. Dr. Williamson allows you to drop 3 quizzes and you get two attempts for the final. I was dreading this class, but it turned out to be super easy! She always gives feedback for every single quiz and paper, which I always appreciate! There are opportunities for extra credit. Take it!
I took her month long summer intro to psych course, loved it and loved her. Always responds to e-mails promptly and leaves great feedback on every assignment. Drops 3 lowest quizzes. A few papers. Just do the reading and take notes and you'll be absolutely fine.
Fun, interesting, and organized. Draws you into lectures and is good at making note taking easy and concise. You definitely need to attend class though, as she does tests based more on what she highlights in class as opposed to what the textbook says.
She's amazing!!! Her lectures are fun,very interacting!
She is my favorite professor. She is funny and actually cares about her students. Her tests are not hard as long as you study and listen to her lectures. She will let you know what to study if she didnt cover it during class. I would recommend her for sure
Great professor! Her lectures are engaging and entertaining. She has an awesome personality and sense of humor. She was always very quick to respond to emails and very helpful. Lots of quizzes but they aren't hard and they are very helpful when studying for exams. Gives extra credit!
Didn't like that i couldn't print out the powerpoints ahead of time so i could follow along. The key is to listen and not to write everything down, while she is talking because you'll miss valuable information. but you'll also miss writing down info from the slide. I think it would have helped if I audio recorded the lectures to clear up my notes.
If you need to take psych, take her! She makes the lectures fun and interesting. There are assignments and quizzes but nothing too hard and everything on the test/quizzes is something she went over in class. Book wasn't required but take really good notes and you'll never even need to buy it.
Such a awesome Professor! Hey and her slide made psyc fun and enjoyable! Her discussions got the whole class involved. I loved her so much!!
Responds to emails fast. Comments on ever assignment. Great teacher!
I love her! She loves psychology, so whatever she's teaching is very memorable because of her passion. Make sure you know everything on the PowerPoints, and print them off before lecture to take your notes on! SO helpful. Ask questions, and even write down random stories she tells because they could be covered on the test.
She is absolutely amazing!! Her lectures really keep you engaged. Make sure you are really paying attention in class because she will put stuff on the exam that wasnt in notes but discussed in class. One of the best professors Ive ever had. She knows her stuff, grades papers quick and always responds to any emails very quickly.
Dr Williamson is an amazing teacher. Her syllabus tells you exactly what you need to do. Read the chapters and take the quiz. Its that simple. Plus she gives plenty of extra credit and drops your lowest 2 quiz grades.
I do not like reading and everybody recommended this possessor wasn't for me, got a D and took an easier one without reading.
I really enjoyed her class. Yes you will need to read the chapters but she takes more weight from her lectures and videos used in her lectures. She gives extra credit if you go to her during office hours and review your tests. Use her lecture guides to take notes with. She is legit wants to see you succeed in her class.
I highly recommend her to learn about psychology, professors out there that actually love what they're teaching are always the best to learn from & she's a great example of that.
She is an excellent professor, I loved her class she is also so funny! But you do have to focus on studying every day-litterally everything you learn in class is on the test
Dr. Williamson was amazing I would take any other classes she offers. I took her online class and her expectations are given to you clearly from the beginning of the semester. Be sure to read and take notes on both the text and lessons sometimes there is hidden gold in the lessons that are really helpful.
Dr. Williamson is by far the best professor I have ever had! Her teaching style is precise and easy to understand. I took her last semester for Intro to Psychology and I'm taking her Child Psychology class in the fall because I enjoyed her class so much. I would absolutely 109% take her classes again and I would reccomend her.
I loved Dr. Williamson! Her class was fantastic! She gives you notes, but also expects you to read. The textbook and information were interesting, so I really enjoyed it! She is caring and easily accessible after hours. She's really nice, gives you several extra credit opportunities and drops the lowest 3 quiz grades- for our online class at least!
Dr Williamson is fantastic. Extra credit opportunity at the end of the semester. Assignments and their point values are available starting day 1. Schedule is clearly outlined before you even start the class so there's no excuse for missing work. Gives feedback on *everything* and is supportive and helpful. Would take any class she teaches.
Enjoyable teacher! Textbook isn.t needed often but will come in use for few questions on tests. She is pretty clear on what will be on the test from the lectures. Gives extra credit and bonus questions. Rarely ever gives homework.
Great professor. Her tests are based off the lecture outlines. She gives a lot of extra credit.
If you have an opportunity to take a class with Professor Williamson, you need to jump on the opportunity. She is extremely caring and will leave feedback on every assignment - which seems to be a lost art on some professors. She outlines her expectations clearly in the syllabus and if you do the work, you will get an A.
I took a wintermester class . She is a great professor. She gives great feedback, quickly responds to emails and follows the syllabus. She also gives extra credit and drops the two lowest quiz grades. Read the chapter outlines and pay attention to what she points out to be prepared for tests/quizzes. Easy A if you apply yourself.
Loved taking her for Child Psychology! Her class is very straightforward and as long as you do your assignments and pay attention, her class is an easy A.
Took professor Williamson online and it was smooth and easy. Quizzes twice a week and occasional papers that were easy and fun to write. Midterm and Final proctored - study the quizzes and you will do great! She also drops two of your lowest quiz grades at the end of the semester and offers extra credit. Recommended professor for Child Psychology!
Dr. Williamson was the BEST. I took her for multiple psych classes and loved both of them. Her lectures are so interesting but you also learn so much. Tests are very easy if you just pay attention in class. Definitely recommend!!
There are so many nice things I could say about her! I took this class during a short summer period, at NINE months pregnant and she was the best professor I've ever had! She cares about her students and what she is teaching. I could honestly take her class a million more times. She is awesome! If you are on the fence, TAKE HER CLASS.
This was my first class where the textbook was not provided by the professor for an online class. This is the first online course I have taken where all the assignments were not released on the first day. Be prepared to read a lot throughout this course.
This is my second time taking Professor Williamson! I loved her class both times! I must warn you, there will be a lot of reading! Put in the work and you'll for sure get an A
She's okay but doesn't really help out or explain anything to do with the textbook. Quiz every week and she tries to trick you. I really don't enjoy this class and wouldn't recommend her.
She is one of the best professors I have ever had. She responds fairly quickly. You have to put in some effort reading the chapters and powerpoints and taking notes. Powerpoints are really important and so are the videos that are used sometimes. Great professor and class is super easy if you do the work.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER,, one of the most caring prof ever. Makes assignments, clear and easy to understand. Class is laid out from day one, and sticks to it. Weekly reminders, personalized feedback on every assignment and always there if you need her. You have to do the work, she made me fall in love with psych. Changed my minor, and taking her again!
I love Dr. Williamson! She is so sweet, and willing to just have a normal conversation with you over email anytime. She has inspired me to pursue a career in Psychology, and I bet she will you too!
Dr Williamson is hands down amazing! Due to covid my class got switched to remote and she was more than prepared for that. Each lesson has a very easy quiz and it's great stuff that you're learning however, she has extra notes for each ch, which are very important to read and its a 2-3 minute read, please so not skip this! Happy learning!
take her if you have the chance. shes nice and caring! her quizzes and tests are open note but they are times- but reasonably. free textbook online. extra credit questions are form online book. its an easy class and you still leave learning alot. if youre reading this take her class!!! i highly recommend her!
The most interesting class I've taken. Her class was so easy and enjoyable and very engaged with her students. Take her if you can!
I absolutely loved Professor Williamson. She is so kind and caring and makes class so fun and enjoyable. She drops your lowest test grade at the end of the semester and there are 2 assignments but if you read the sources and give your honest opinions she grades you fairly. Do study for the tests they are a big part of your grade in the class.
Great Professor. Lets you interact and give opinions on everything. She really loves discussing the topics with students. You have 5 exams and a final. Take good notes and remember details or words in each age group. You will pass easily.
This class was my favorite class I took this semester! Professor Williamson is the best! She gives extra credit, gives great feedback and will always answer your emails quickly! Really cares about her students and makes the class more fun and interesting! This class was not hard if you make an effort and go to class. Take this class!
Dr. Williamson is one of the best professor Ive taken. She is awesome, her layout is well understandable and her class isn't that hard. Psyc-2301 was an interesting online class and I learned a lot. She provides PowerPoints with her feedback on each slide of what you should know. Take her! You won't regret it! I hope to take her again.
Great professor, Don't take her courses blended unless you enjoy teaching yourself from textbooks and powerpoints.
Her lectures were very enjoyable and I learned a lot! This is a class I looked forward to and her exams were fairly easy if you payed attention and studied. Highly recommend!
She is honestly one of the best professors I've had the pleasure of taking! Her lectures are insightful and very easy to engage in. There is no textbook, and all material for the tests are based off of her in class lectures and notes so missing one day can really hurt you depending on which topic you're on. I loved her!
Best professor I have ever had! Easy A class, did not need the book and still passed she provided the readings necessary for the HW & Tests. She is so understanding and truly does care for her students. HW & Tests are easy and she makes the class fun! She does drop some grades at the end, makes it so easy to pass! Take her and you wont regret it!
I will say there is a lot of busy work and learning on your own but overall she is a GREAT professor and does what she can to help.
16 quizzes (open note), 13 DB's (w a response to 2 peers for each individual DB), and 1x100 question final (proctored). She is awesome, as long as you do your work and utilize all her PowerPoints, you will pass. I didn't purchase the textbook due to financial reasons; I solely used her PowerPoints and I learned everything and still got an A.
College is already stressful enough; Dr Williamson is a breath of fresh air! She's organized, thorough, and loves what she does. It's already less personable online, but she made it fun, interesting, and I felt excited to actually complete work for her. I wish she was my professor for all classes :D
Very easy class, all you gotta do is make sure you take notes on the slideshows and videos (videos are optional), study those, and the exams and quizzes are a breeze. The only thing I disliked was that you can't take any pictures of the slideshow notes so if you were to go to the bathroom you might risk missing a lot of important notes.
I could not have asked for a better psych professor. I thought I would have struggled more with this but she does such a great job at teaching the material. She makes it fun with the videos and PowerPoint, I didn't feel overwhelmed with information. Fairly easy if you pay attention. Definitely recommend,you can tell she wants her students to pass
An excellent professor, focused heavy on lecture content tho, so being in class is important. All test material is covered in class, and there are very few assignments. You're given ample warning before tests or assignments, and if you miss a test the prof is helpful with communication etc. Ultimately sparked my interest in psych as a career field.
Professor Williamson is probable the best teacher I've ever had. She makes the class fun and interesting. If you pay attention in class, take notes, and do some light reading of the textbook you'll have no problem in this course. She's always willing to help and gives great feedback. She also provides a free online version of the textbook.
I took this course as a blended lecture and from what I heard this class is a lot easier than other psychology classes. Keep up with the off day assignments because she doesn't drop any and it's easy to forget about them. It's important to come to class because the mid term and final asks questions about in class stuff. Cheat sheet on exams.
she's a nice person but that doesn't mean she's a good professor. my class was only supposed to be Thursday but she would give us homework on Tuesday too. ALOTTT of Reading and Homework.
I loved Professor Williamson! She was always quick and thorough when responding to my emails about questions, the textbook she used was offered free to my course, and she had PowerPoints uploaded with course notes that included little side details that were important to know and relevant. EC was offered frequently. Very kind, caring, and patient!
Dr. Williamson is a great professor! I took this class online but the workload isn't took much so long as you mange your time wisely. Though she provides PowerPoints that go over what you'd need to know, still read the chapters as it'll help with understanding imo! Glad to have had a professor who is also nice with her comments on assignments! :)
Dr. Williamson is a great professor. I took this class online so it was fairly easy as I went my own pace. Only complaint I would have is that the last exam before the final exam are so close to one another it made things a bit stressful. I would hope she just conjoins them together if anything. Overall, good professor.
Professor Williamson is very kind and caring. She gives feedback that's very affirming. She's prompt w/ answering questions. Very accessible for online students. As long as you read through the textbook and powerpoint take good and organized notes from both, you'll be good to go! This was such a good class to take. You'll learn a ton! :)
This was my second time taking this professor. Very good professor. Gives good feedback, responds in a timely manner, very sweet and respectful. Very helpful when you have questions. Gives a very clear outline of what is expected. Lots of reading however the power points go right along with the book.
Dr. Williamson is consistent & expectations are clear. Provides great presentations to prepare for quizzes and exams. Grades post the next day with feedback, even if only an "awesome job!" for a perfect score. She responds quickly to emails and answers questions with patience. By far the best experience I've had with an online class!
4 exams, lowest is dropped. Extra credit is available. Teacher is very good at responding emails and concerns. Book is a must, test questions have book questions not provided on pp. Overall, follow her clear rubrics and you will do well. Easy course!
Wow. Professor Williamson is by far the best professor I have ever had. She is brilliant in Psychology and her love for the subject shows through her lectures. I took her class online but was able to understand every concept perfectly. She left feedback on every assignment and was so kind. Please take her class if you can, you will not regret it!
She was amazing, and her lectures were interesting. She used a bunch of real world examples to help us understand and was very understanding, as well as responded quick to emails.
Took her for LifeSpan Development, Really enjoyed the class a lot of reading tho.
Minimal extra credit, show up to class or youll miss important info that you will be tested on, some things arent in modules to read later unless you show up to class. She's an easy class and makes learning easy.
She's very nice and super respectful. I thought it was going to be hard but It's acutally not. Her lecture are amazing too! I would definitely this class again if I could!
she genuinely made me want to change my major to psyc. one of the best instructors ive ever had in all my years of school. she is so hilarious and MAKES to want to engage with her examples. best professor ever.
Professor Williamson makes this class a breeze. Her lectures are engaging, and she's always quick to respond to emails. Use Unstuck ai for study prep - it really helps break down the material.
This class was such a wonderful experience because of Dr Williamson. She always encouraged us to email her, gave lots of extra credit opportunities, and always reminded us of due dates! The class is pretty simple, you have a few textbook readings every week, with notes that she made to help you understand the lesson.
I love Dr. Williamson because she gets that this class is usually for ppl who just need a credit and didn't give any homework and at the same time still makes the class interesting for those who registered because of interest. The notes where very easy to take since it's just on a powerpoint and all the test are open book including the final.
she gives great lectures very caring and understanding I will gladly help if you need it and accessible outside of class I would definitely take her again
Her teaching style is awesome, and 8 weeks class does not feel heavy when she teaches.
So late to this, took her class Spring 2024 and she was amazing. Choice of seven out of nine written assignments. Clear expectations which guide the way she grades. Puts in a little bit of extra credit in her slides which are fun to read. The textbook is online, free and really interesting. Thats what I remember since it's been a while.
I absolutely LOVED Dr. Williamson! I took this class over the summer and am glad I did! Although it was fast-paced, the assignments weren't too bad. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow. There was a ton of reading, and she provided the book for free! Exams were proctored but she allowed us to use notes, which was a lifesaver! I recommend!
This professor was by far one of my favorites, she communicates extremely well, is passionate about her job, and is a great organizer. I took her for a summer course in Psych 2314 and it was great! There is lots of reading and deadlines are not flexible but if you're organized and participate, it's a wonderful course. 10/10 recommend.
This professor is amazing. She is super funny and wants her students to engage. She puts fun national days on the board for you to guess. All exams get a front to back notebook paper if your hand written notes.
amazing class!!! I went into it scared because i've taken this class in high school and it was a nightmare. She was very easy and fun to listen to! Drops lots of quiz grades and overall 10/10 class, definitely would take again!!!
This class was SUPER easy! There was a lot of reading, but you only had to do 5 writing assignments and discussion boards. The exams are all open notes! She is super sweet as well. Loved this class and would def recommend it!!
just finished her 16 week online fall 2025 class and i would 100% recommend. there are 9 assignments, each 300 min word essays, but only 5 need to be completed, she's an easy grader and i got full points on all of them. make sure you read the chapters thoroughly because all tests are open note, even the final. ended up with a 99.15% in her class!
