His appearance is VERY intimidating. He has a look that scares me a little. He's very very smart, doesn't laugh or smile a whole lot from what I can tell. He definately tests your ways of thinking which is good. Only bad thing I can say about him is that he threw me under the bus with a very sensitive subject.

He is by far one of the best professors I have ever taken. He made me fall in love with a field I never knew I could love so much. Because of him I am now double majoring in nursing and psychology! I definitely recommend. His tests are easy. He gives 3 online and the final in class plus quit a bit of in class assignments that are simple.

I took Mr. Williamson in the Spring 2019. If you sign up for his class, you will not be disappointed, He's very passionate about his work and it shows, he puts real life scenarios in hand and helps you get a clear understanding of what he is talking about. Also very funny with his lectures. I'm changing my major to psychology now due to him.

Professor Williamson is hands down the best. He is very clear about what is expected for his class. There is 4 exams and 1 research paper. Which are not hard at all. If you show up to class and take notes you will get an A in the class. He is a very chill guy and always has stories to connect with psych! I would completely recommend him, take him!

Loved his class, very passionate, makes things easy to understand. simple 2part research project on subject of your choice. Main complaint is the self assessments with subjective questions receiving a grade which doesn't make sense. like the second one asked what I liked/disliked abt the class and I got 47/50 idk but other than that amazing class!!

Great professor. Uses life experiences to correlate with subject. Allows students to fully grasp concept of material by providing assignments relating to chapters, quizzes and also exams. The chapters are organized specifically and are averaged to about 4 chapters per unit. This is a great course on Life Span Growth and Development.

I struggled with Psychology in high school, so I wasn't very excited to take this class, but Professor Williamson was awesome and his lessons were easy to follow. 2-3 assignments weekly, 4 proctored exams, and a research paper (easy). He offers a couple extra credit assignments, so be sure to take advantage of the easy points.

I would take him again if I could. He's an amazing professor. So honest, clear, engaging, and fair. I actually enjoyed being in his class and learning psych, and his homework was fairly easy and to the point, just make sure to turn it in. Even then, if something happens, communicate with him and he will definitely help. Very approachable.

He used a free online textbook, read out of order. If you miss class, good luck. His homework was a short summary of what was discussed in class with a few in class assignments. We took 3 at home online multiple choice exams that were easy with the final being multiple choice in class with a scantron. Overall 10/10 professor.

He was ABSOLUTELY my all-time favorite professor of my college career thus far He was extremely compassionate and had such a good caring aura. His assignments were very routine and predictable. If you put effort forth, I feel he graded upon that. Exams were at home final is not over whole semester-only last 3 chapters and is taken in class. GOAT!

One of the most unique educators you will ever have the pleasure of learning from. If you are going into health sciences, you must take his class. He is a professor who will change your reality by merging both your personal and academic life. I could write a whole book about the class and his teaching methods, but enough has been said.

Mr. Williamson was wonderful to have as a professor. All of his assignments (besides projects) are short and can be done in ~10 minutes. There's usually max 2 per week. He works in the psychology field outside of school and comes with an open-mind and lots of personal stories that make the class very entertaining and enjoyable.
