This professor certainly loves what he does for a living. He is not a paycheck professor who is punching a clock. Williams is out to help you cultivate a love of being a life-long learner as well as a first-rate student of history. Brookhaven College is fortunate to have him.

An amazing professor! He wants all his students to pass, but you have to put in the work. Please take him! You wont regret It. I never really liked history but Doctor. William made me love history.

Hes a really good professor and is very understanding. I took him for HIST 1301 and 1302 and received A's. Show up to class and youll pass and make sure you take good notes from lectures, theyre beneficial for quizzes and note book checks. He is very caring towards his students and wants them to pass with an A.

Prof. Williams makes learning easier by keeping all the learning content very organized and easily accessible, the course contains a lot of reading but as long as you read and do your work its a guaranteed pass. Another thing to mention is that Prof. William is also very good at responding to students he will respond to your emails very promtly.

I have always despised history classes as I find them extremely boring, however, I would take Mr. William's class any day! You need to take his class in person, his lectures make lessons easy to understand and relatable to today's issues. He has such an engaging personality, I was never bored and always looked forward to coming to his class.

Skip class? You won't pass.

I took his class during the summer. The class went very fast but he did a really good job at explaining things and not once was I confused over the material. There will be discussion boards and essays over videos and quizzes due every week as well as the tests but he is a very easy grader. Just do your work and you'll get an A.

Prof Williams is very organized. His lecture notes make the course even easier to follow, but it's history, so tons of reading. I would've preferred to have him for a full semester instead of summer, but he makes it almost impossible to fail either way. He's responsive outside of class and he gives good feedback to every submission.

His lectures are super entertaining and short enough that they stayed interesting the whole time. He's obviously very dedicated and passionate about his job and is super accessible outside of class. I hope I get to take another one of his classes.

I took Professor Williams class for a 5-week summer class (in-person) and it was a great experience! He is a professor who really enjoys what he is teaching and is able to cover multiple topics in one lecture. His grading is very fair, and he will give you grace on late assignments. The assignments aren't that difficult as well.
