Do not be lured into thinking this class is not gonna be that bad by the first 3 weeks. The work load is really light then it takes off. There is a group project, which entails a ton of work for only 100points. She continues to pile work on top of that every week.If you're full time, you may wanna take one less class the semester you take this one.

This class was really easy. It used MindTap and had unlimited attempts so it's easy to make 100 on everything. Tests aren't too hard if you read the chapters and review the key terms.

This class was just a few easy MindTap assignments a week and a chapter summary. The chapter summaries are a pain, but you get used to it after a few weeks. Grades super late. I purposefully messed up assignments and would get 100+++, yet 80s on summaries I was very thorough on. Therefore, she doesn't really read all of them- so good luck!

Dr. Williams' class is the worst I have experienced at LSUS. Like a reviewer last year mentioned, she changes the rubric just for kicks, and her instructions are unclear at best. She asks essay questions in such a way that it's obvious what the "correct" answer is, and it won't help your grade to try to take a stand for your own convictions. Avoid!

Dr. Williams is a very intelligent woman. She expects 'Master level' writing and participation in her class. A bit confusing as to what she wanted in the beginning, however, everything was smooth sailing for me after the second week. 1,000 word minimum on her assignments, so most of the time you're writing just to write. Overall pretty good class

In 427 you have to write A LOT, but if you throw in a couple extra pages every paper, you'll get bonus points. Easy grader. In 321, make sure you do ALL of the mindtap assignments well.

I've had Dr. Williams for 3 classes and there are some common factors to them. 1. Read the chapter before class, it helps. 2 She uses Mindtap software for homework, which is not overly helpful, but is an easy grade. Main thing is to memorize definitions and look over her power points before tests.
