Very dry lectures, but he definitely knows the content. He is not excited about teaching HIST 1301, and you can tell he prefers 1302. Very easy tests. He provides a more than adequate review. He expects you to attend class, listen to his lectures, and not be a complete moron. If you can meet those requirements, an A should be no problem. Good guy..

I took his History 2 class for the 2017-2018 wintermester and it was a breeze. There were 5 quizzes, 5 discussion boards, 5 journals, a 100 question mid term and final. Quizlet is your friend for this class and you need the book. Overall really good class, I actually learned something.

He is amazing! Do not need a book for this class at all. All of his tests are done in blackboard and no it is not Proctor U. This is by far the easiest class I have ever taken. He does give out a lot of extra credit. You have a quiz of 4 questions each Thursday fairly easy comes from lecture that same day. Journal entries and 3 tests. TAKE HIM!

This Professor made this class super interesting! He keeps up with grades, the quizzes and journals are pretty easy. He gives an opportunity for extra credit and no book was needed for the class. Mr. Williams responds to emails quick and makes lectures easy to understand!

Took him for Hist 1302 and although his voice can put a baby to sleep, we learned a lot of interesting things! He's funny and nice. No book needed. Responsive and very helpful. Just make sure to attend class, do your journal entries & quizzes. Should be an easy A if you're attentive. Wish I didn't procrastinate towards the end. Would take again!

Took him online this summer. Lots of work but he grades very fair. Wants you to understand material and give opinions. Discussions, Journals, quizzes and tests (3) keep you busy. Test and quizzes are timed but he gives you enough time so its not too bad. His weekly requirements are posted and he emails also. Very good communication for online.

Great Prof. Easy Class. Been taking online due to Covid. Read 20-40 pages from textbook every week. Take a short quiz from it. Usually multiple choice or short answer. 300 word paper every week from a prompt about that weeks topic. Discussion boards. Really interesting reading. Def taking Western Civ 2. Hopefully I can get him again for it.

I wish I could take him again for HIST2312. I changed my major to history within two weeks of his class and I couldn't be happier. He's a great professor. I learned a ton in this class. Just some quizzes over chapters, some discussion/journal posts. Finals were easy if you took notes. I only wish I heard/saw more of him, because he is so smart.

He adjusted a lot of questions that were counted as wrong but were actually correct. Tons of reading. Online.

TAKE HIS CLASS! I took his 8 week class online. Super manageable. A quiz or two was due each week and a discussion. Only one test and the final test. As well as journal assignments. Discussions were fun and I learned from this course! He gave bonus assignments that were optional for extra credit. 1000/10 would recommend!

10/10. I'm not a big fan of history but Professor Williams made it straight the point and simple. This is the most I have gained from a history class and I truly enjoyed it. The lectures do use a textbook and there are DB and quizzes but nothing extreme. All reasonable and Professor Williams is a great grader. Take his class.
