Dr. Williams, has to be my favorite professor here! She not only taught me how to write a strong paper, but she gives a damn about her students and their grades. I think if you like to write an essay, then this class is for you. If not, u probably want to look elsewhere. She isn't an easy A, but she's not too hard either. Jeanette G.

Dr. Williams is a great instructor. You can not go wrong by taking one of her classes. Clear syllabus (5 essays and 7 readings w/ quizzes). Lots of class time is spent working on our essays and going over them with her individually. She is also a very fair grader - if she sees you improving and putting in effort then she will give you a good grade.

Took her for 5 week summer class, SUPER EASY. She always gave everyone in my class 100's on the extra credit discussions, so DO THEM. The exam is easy if you follow her study guide. and the Final Exam is SUPER easy. the quizzes aren't bad, most answers could be found online. The research/final paper isn't too bad either.

Cynthia is great. Her class requires quite a bit of reading but most of the answers can be found online if this is an online class. She wants you to be well versed in MLA so be sure to follow that lesson carefully. Overall not too hard, but be prepared to read and write regularly. She also gives out extra credit!

I am currently taking her summer 5 weeks class online and I love her teaching style. You get to watch interesting TED Talks and then write about it. She slowly increases how advance the writing is so it makes it easy for you to do good. Besides that she is super kind and gives the best feedback on essay outlines and makes sure to also show praise.

Fast paced 5-week online course so assignments are due every few days. Dr. Williams expects you to be very detail-oriented and specific in your writing assignments, so make sure to do more than the minimum requirements in terms of analysis and quotations or she will deduce points.

Doctor Williams is an excellent professor and is very understanding and caring towards students. The only thing I disliked was that she was annoyed at students for not bringing paper/utensils and laptops on the first day. Most students bring one or the other until the professor lets it known which they prefer, Dr. Williams wants both.

Bad at computers so you won't know your final grade until the end but again, just do the work how she wants it. She'll help you become a better writer, she wants you to reflect on what you write.

Extremely unorganized and outdated content on her Canvas. She doesn't know how to use the website, making new assignments on it without a “submit” button. And most of all, she is very rigid with how she wants things done in the classroom. Like, if she catches you reading silently instead of aloud, she'll call you out.
