Very fun course! Very funny and interesticng, however tests are very hard!

best ever

he's my favorite professor ever! i've had 4 classes with him. he's like your favorite uncle. retired naval captain, full of great stories, and knows everyone! acts like he's a hard grader, but in truth he's pretty fair.

Awesome professor. Retired Navy guy with a lot of intresting stories, classes are always fun. Tests are not hard, papers not hard, A easily achievable, and you do learn a lot.

A great and fun teacher

BEST teacher ever. take him for as many classes as you can, he teaches 3 this sem and who knows how many next sem. He's great and has great stories, and REALLY teaches.

great class and you acctually learn alot, lectures are great but tests were immpossible. take it just so you can say you've had the Dr. William experience because Dr. Williams loves you.

I've taken ALL of his classes. He is the very best at Loyola...I even nominated him for a Sujack teacher-of-the-year award. I can't believe he didn't win...he is THAT good. He will push you to do your best!

His class is never boring! Hes one of those teachers who go above and beyond to help his students. His tests are hard, but fair

I love Williams!

I recommend taking as many of Williams' classes as possible. For anyone with any background in American Politics, the class should be no sweat.

Thought that he was very easy as long as you did the reading prior to the exam and had some knowledge of the material (current events). Thought that overall he graded fairly easily and I would be inclined to take him again.

Jay is awesome... Really helpful, well qualified, very funny, well articulated. He's a great buddy.

A great teacher who seems to know something about everything. Somebody everybody should take.

williams rocks!

williams is the BEST!!

Took it as a summer class; if he taught at my school I'd take every one of his classes. Interesting, fun, and knowledgeable. Pay any attention to him, and you'll do fine-worth the time to take his class

He is a great teacher and the reason why i changed from Pre-med to criminal justice "government" and i recommend him to anyone who is interested in Political Science...plus he is very very funny

Great guy, seems to know something about everything, and managed to keep interest in a 3 hour summer class. Now that's a prof I would take again.

Williams is a must have for any Loyolan!

They key to Dr. Williams classes is reading the book. He knows what he is talking about, and has personal experience to back it up - Plus he can make you laugh about politics!

Dr. Williams is a good professor. This class only has three exams, which could help or harm you. Exams are sort of rough, but if you keep up with the work it will be fine. He has a lot of experience to enhance his lectures, and he will make you laugh!

NationalSecurity is an awesome class. He's a retired marine...lot's of good stories & strategic military insight. Class is never boring.

Prof. Williams will teach you more speaking from the headlines and his personal experience than any book. But if you take his class, you better read the book.

Dr. Williams is always a blast in class. He always has a great story to tell and brings a funny spin to even the most serious of topics. I wish he taught more classes for me to take! Not too hard, but not too easy... Great professor!!!

jay is the man. he is a great prof, but more importantly a good man. stop by his office and chat. he is a great teacher to befriend outside the classroom.

HANDS DOWN BEST PROF. AT LOYOLA!!! THIS GUY GOES ON TV THATS HOW GOOD HE IS!!!!

Words don't describe how awesome Dr. Williams is. Taking Dr. Williams is a win win situation. Just do the reading, don't fall behind. It doesn't get better than this!

I got a minor in Williams at Loyola. Hands down, the best professor. I even nominated him for a Sujack, and was more than a little ticked off that he didn't win. He's amazing. Will work your butt off, but you'll be proud of your papers!

Excellent educator, great person.

This is the first time I've had Dr. Williams, and I would defintely take another class of his. You'll be fine if you read, and defintley go to every class, it's worth it.

I loved the class, but that's only cuz he got off topic most of the time and just told stories, the tests were tricky, but it took me till the third try to realize most of the test questions are from the online practice questions.

Williams is a great teacher. He has a ton of real life experience and he doesn't try to force political views on his students. Even though the tests can be tricky, he tells you what to study and posts all his lectures online so you can review them.

Take as many classes as you can, awesome guy, lectures are enjoyable not too hard, great guy

The multiple choice tests are the same questions from the book's website. How much easier could it be than that? You have the questions and answers ahead of time.

Awesome, amazing, incredible...he is the man!!!

I don't care what level he's teaching in pol. science. If you need the class and he's teaching it TAKE HIM! HE IS AWESOME!!!!!! Makes 8:30 seem like a reasonable time to get up and actually think rationally!

One-month summer course and he was perfect - solid knowledge, enthusiastic, deep experience & insights; engages students, encourages feedback; fair exams; fair grader. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!

awesome

Dr. Williams is a great prpfessor. He is funny and sarcastic (in a good way) and makes the class really enjoyable. His tests are based mostly on the book, so if you read and study you will do well. Don't expect an easy grade if you don't read the book. He's an awesome guy!

He's pretty arrogant, likes to brag a lot, tells the same stories over and over again. He either doesnt like to teach or is just lazy about it. Class is divided up in groups and all semester the groups present. He doesnt even teach the class.

I've taken 3 of his classes and all of them rocked. He never stays on topic but all his life stories are more interesting than the actual text. If you want to look forward to class...take one of his.

Sophisticatedly witty, surprisingly generous He is the best prof I have ever had he teaches you w/o you realizing it He truly makes college fun His are the only classes that I never missed Problem:By my third year I took all of his classes. Problem #2: when you graduate you can't stay in his class.

Dr.Williams is both thoughtful in his class comments and obviously cares greatly about the overall experience and learning of his students. He is both a wonderful teacher and a true mentor.

Dr. Williams is quite possibly the best professor Loyola has to offer. His qualities run the gamut from intelligence to thoughtfullness, and it's hard not to want to take every course he teaches. His teaching will remove from anyone's mind the idea that "those who can't, teach."

Awesome teacher. I'm taking him again. Know the readings and you'll do great in his class. know definitions for the tests [3 exams] and study the practice quizzes on the website and you'll do fine in his class. Dr. Williams is one of my favorite professors here.

You do readings, he makes them REAL: ties solid experience, real world & humor to classrm; great use of papers/presenations he has made professionally (top-shelf!) Superb, dedicated to students, whom he genuinely respects and enjoys. Terrific text choices - take his classes: a pro not to be missed!

I have taken Williams for practically everything! I adore the man. You gotta read though and if you add stuff from the lectures an A is yours! You don't realize you've learned something til u have to answer exam questions. Questions are general and best of all people in his classes tend to be mature

He is a great teacher and a wonderful person. I learned a lot in his class, he really knows what he is talking about. Acts like your grandpa. I highly recommend taking him.

Great prof. Always willing to help a student. Militaries around the world beg this guy to speak so his class is definitly worth the time. If he has a flaw, it's that he recycles his jokes from class to class or semester to semester. Take all the classes you can with him.

Dr. Williams is in the top three of all the professors I have had at Loyola. The exams can be tough, but they are very fair. During the lectures he breathes life into the readings, using anecdotes to make concepts more interesting and easier to understand. Take his classes and get to know him.

So interesting, so much experience, easy course as long as you do the reading. Loved him, got on TV a couple times in this class.

Entertainig and amusing his class is worth taking

Williams is awesome! Being a fave does help. His lectures are not necessary, but it helps him know your face and name, which is good in his class. Paper advice:take an outline in ahead of time and he'll steer you in the perfect direction. Test advice:read everything and be able to explain principles and relate it to the world. Fun class! Fun prof!

Nice guy. Very smart and experienced. Does not stay on target with notes. A lot of reading. Only 3 tests. Go to class to get participation

Awesome, awesome and awesome! Did I say awesome? I loved Prof Williams. He is a navy vet, funny, and someone who actually is a moderate and won't judge your views. Completely engages you and makes you want to come to class. Take this course. Williams is one of the few reasons I chose not to transfer from Loyola. Take him! :)

Awesome professor. 90% of the class day is spent talking about current events, looking at funny clips/aricles/pictures, talking about whatnot. Actual politics part of the class is good, not fun 100 multiple choice tests, but study and you'll do ok.

Dr. Williams is hilarious. Class didn't drag on because he's funny. Current events connected to the readings we had to do, so it was a bit easier. He used a Morgenthau book which wasn't written as a textbook, so we had Bluebook tests, but they weren't too bad. Take him every opportunity you get. He's an awesome professor!

Professor Williams is a rare find. A great teacher that can pull you into the class. The tests where long but there were only three of them and they were multiple choice. As long as you do the readings and go to class, the going to class part is easy, you will do great. I will take him again any chance that I get

Class was required for major. Take him if you have to take a PLSC class. He's probably the easiest prof in that dept to take. Just make sure you pay attention in class and read the material. tests are multiple choice, you basically give yourself your grade.

Unlike PLSC 101 there is no multiple choice it is all essay tests. If you do not read you are screwed. But if you try you can get an A, not the easiest A earned

One of Loyola's best profs, period. His great personality and teaching style make the class enjoyable even if you aren't into politics. Also, he sincerely wants you to learn, so to get an A you definately have to read and participate in class.

A little much with the power points, but a very good teacher and a nice guy.

William's course was undoubtedly one of the hardest ones that I have ever taken at Loyola...and believe me that is saying a lot. The midterm and the final are all essay, and the final is cumulative over 12 chapters (each around 40 pages) of American foreign policy history. Tests are extremely abstract and require application of knowledge. Hard A-

Prof. Williams is a cool guy and the best part of the class is his unique perspective on foreign policy. He doesn't cover class material too much, but the book is boring anyway. I'd rather listen to his views and let others debate theirs. If you want someone to spoon feed you the info for tests he wont do it. Must earn your grade.

Great guy, one of best teachers I have ever had. uses his lifetime experience (military) and applies it in class, giving an unique and very interesting perspective on things. Make sure you get to know him on a personal basis, since he is a very unique guy and will always help you out. If you like to debate ideas, this is your class.

Prof Williams is a great teacher. He makes you think for yourself instead forcing you to think his way. These types of instructors are why we go to college. I found that his lectures complement the readings. Do the readings and start your paper early and you should throughly enjoy the class .

great guy! very funny and he always has some youtube video on before class. tests are very challenging, you really have to study to get a decent score.

Dr. Williams is by far the best teacher I have ever had. He is very passionate about the subject, keeps you laughing all class, and does not put his own political thoughts into lecture. I'd take him again in a heartbeat. He cares about the students grades, and to be honest you have to be an idiot not to do well in his class. Good textbook too.

Good guy. Likes to talk more about contemporary political issues than course material. Overall fun class. Exams ok if u are a good essay test taker: 2 essay exams, one 6-pg single spaced paper, one group project (powerpoint) on a military branch. not a blow-off class, although not too much work besides the paper. loves blackboard.

Dr. Williams combines an engaging wit, a pleasant demeanor, and a raw enthusiasm for his material. He then charmingly rewards his class with the merger. His scope of knowledge emerges, in equal and abundant parts, from his real-life experience and his career in academia. He is wise yet youthful, comfortable yet serious. Stop by his office 4 a chat.

This was the only class I ever remember actually looking forward to attending. Prof Williams is an interesting, funny, intelligent person, and while we don't spend much time on the book information, you will definitely learn a lot from his vast knowledge and experience in the subject area.

Great teacher - only class I looked forward to this semseter! He always has a story to tell that makes everything seem even more interesting, there's always funny pictures or videos to watch, and he makes jokes left and right. People seem to complain about the tests, but all you have to do is memorize the vocab/basic concepts and you'll be fine.

Great teacher, keeps the class fun and interesting while still covering the material. I enjoyed his class and look forward to taking his other classes in the future.

Great class. I have him for 2.5 hours and he manages to keep it interesting and always has funny stories/pics. He definetely loves his students "Who loves you?" Will help out with grades but you have to work for it too. Study notes and powerpoints and you should do fine on the test! Tests are not long ... he changed it to mulitple choice this SEM

Great Professor, brilliant and experienced in his field!

great professor. kinda went off the subject like all the time. but he made it fun and interesting. 3 tests...he drops the lowest grade of the first 2. really cares about his students. id take him again.

Very friendly and a good person but his tests were dumb and hard. Not easy to get an A.

He is guarenteed to offend you. I love him, hilarious. he will make the class very interesting. 3 test and 10% of youre grade is participation. I can't do good on the tests and they are pretty hard, but I would take his class again

Dr. Williams is one of the best professors you will ever have a Loyola, if not THE best. The class is lots of fun and you will learn a lot. Read the book & keep up on current events. If you don't understand or need help on the research paper, ask him, he WILL help you! This is a class you will never want to miss.

I have taken Williams three times. This man is sweet, funny, intelligent and an experienced professor. It is obvious he loves what he does and that reflects in his teaching. He is not easy, but not too difficult. If you are moderately intelligent, read fairly regularly, show up to class a sensible amount and are not a complete jerk - you'll do fine

AMAZING teacher and such a sweet man! he is so interesting and fun! Make sure you go to class and do ALL the readings...the tests are basically everything in the book...study and it's a pretty easy A!

Professor Williams is one of the reasons I tell people to come to Loyola. He translates hard political concepts understandable points. He'll tell the same joke at least 3 times in a semester; just humor him. I've met no professor here more passionate about his work and about the students. You'd be crazy not to take him given the opportunity.

Professor is a good guy. Makes the subject matter understandable. Uses the curve system and outside of class, he is easy to talk to and has a great sense of humor. The final at the end of the semester is the hardest. If you study, you will do fine.

Prof Williams is a great guy. He explains his points clearly, his lectures are lively. He, as both a prof and a person, is very very easy to talk to. People, this class is NOT hard, and if you just show up and read the book and study, you'll do fine. People who give Dr. J a bad review because they d poorly shouldn't be in college, honestly.

Dr. J is a good guy. He knows his stuff for sure. Grading standards don't seem to be that bad. He tends to rant and tell the same or similar jokes throughout the semester, but it doesnt detract per se. Class isn't hard if you show up.

Lectures are not helpful...you really need to read the text for tests. Sure, he does have alot of fun stories and videos, but he doesn't really teach.

pretty chill class. shows mad you tube videos. didn't need to read, I didn't even buy the book. He gives you all the notes so you never have to take them, you can just pay attention to what he says. Hes REALLY interesting as a person, has a really cool life. EXTREMELY smart guy! The text book he uses has a free online site, CRAM/STUDY THE VOCAB!!!

He is a brilliant man and loves to teach. His classes are always interesting and we discuss important current issues. All of the BS that people said before is simply whining from a bad grade. He can be a little politically incorrect at times and does tell some stories, but go to his class, get to know him, and you'll be glad you did.

He is the best teacher at Loyola! Prepare to be challenged, but you will learn a lot. Dr. Williams has a great sense of humor too.

LOVE this professor would take him again. Gives multiple choice tests (only at the 100 level not 300) which I LOVED because Im good at them. Has very cute grandkids. You need to read the book. I dont understand why people wouldnt.

Professor Williams offers an engaging and informative class. BEWARE the grouches about his class! They're just sore losers because they didn't take his advice! (And mine too, and here it comes.) READ THE BOOK, USE THE BOOK WEBSITE AND YOU"RE JUST FINE! He also helped me with some life stuff as well and is a really funny guy to boot. Take his class.

The tests are very hard. There are 3 tests in total, 100 multiple choice. Many of the questions are about small details in the book that he didn't cover in class. There's also participation worth 10% of the grade. He neither tells you your participation grade nor your final exam grade. He doesn't post grades like most teachers. He's nice though.

Fantastic guy! You will learn a lot if you keep up with the readings. Has the most hilarious jokes and powerpoints. Papers are a bit cruel but nothing out of the usual for college material. They are single-spaced though which is a bit odd. Tests must be studied for rigorously or else you'll find yourself sitting in front of a blank paper @ the exam

He doesn?t reinvent fashion: He defies it. Dr. Williams? Fall line ?makes the chair out of a tree instead of out of wood? with unique blends of Bisque and Cornsilk, and Shimmering Deep Sea Green. His is a mixture of ?amend? and ?ratify? to create a sound, constitutional look. This IS the system of endless appeal. We avidly await his Navy line.

TAKE HIM! He is very knowledgable and will help you in any way that he can. Class is VERY interesting. Not an "easy" A per se, but if you do the work, you'll be fine. He is an EXTREMELY reasonable grader. Six page single spaced paper, but come on...It's college, what do you expect! Take him or you are missing out on an expert in the field!

great class. you can always count on Williams to make class easy to get through, even on the toughest of days. the tests are very hard, but that's no reason to miss this class. It is one of the most fun classes ever, and if you have a problem, he is more than willing to help you.

TAKE HIM! He is awesome! He can make everything you learned about US govt in high school and make it fun again. Casual class. 3 tests all scantron..kinda hard because theres more than one possible answer and we wants you to choose the best.

Take him, he is a great teacher, you rarely cover the material in the book, but he talks about very interesting stuff, and he always has a great video or story, the tests are easy as long as you go on the book website and do the vocab, and if everyone does poorly on the test he has a generous curve

God in teacher form

J.Williams is lively and humorous. While attendance is not really necessary, when you go to class it is always entertaining. Be warned, his 3 tests are very vocab based so you have to read the textbook, carefully. But the tests are spread apart and you have a lot of time in between to read. If you keep up with reading you will be fine. Take him!

Great guy! He's a real nice, funny guy, but he tends to talk about a lot of stuff not relating to the class. It's not a huge problem though because as long as you read the book and know your vocab, you can get an A no problem.

One of Loyola's finest professors For a large lecture class, Professors Williams brings an unexpected level of energy and interest to the room. Don't have to attend class. Most classes include content from his life only moderately related to the topic at hand. Participation grades based on BB responses are lame. 3 book-based test, drops lowest

Great teacher. Cares about his students, gets people participating (even at 9:20 in the morning) and always makes class interesting. Incredibly well-informed and knowledgeable about his subject, will almost always give an educated and clear answer to your question. The bad jokes only make him more endearing. Tests can be tricky, so start studying!

Really nice guy, is willing to help out all of his students. You can tell he really cares. Three tests, 100 multiple choice questions each, worth 90% of your grade. Test questions can be a little difficult, you MUST read the text.

Great Prof!

phenomenal professor. grade based off two tests, one paper, and participation in class and on discussion board. he keeps you entertained while still getting you to care about the issues. one of the best professors i have worked with so far.

He is one smart cookie. I have no idea how he knows so much information. He tells brilliant stories that are always related to the topic we are discussing in class and is always available if we need any help or have questions. Awesome Prof.

Funny AND knows his stuff.

Prof. Williams is a great guy. He is a very very intelligent guy, but expects the same of you. It takes a little effort to get through the book, and know current events, otherwise you'll be shamed. He's funny and doesn't seem to mind if you roll in late because he has "classroom amusements" to start class.

awesome class, great professor. period.

Dr. Williams deserves another chili pepper!

He's a great professor, very helpful, and entertaining. I always enjoy his class, and have learned a lot!

great guy overall, very funny teacher, needs more chilly peppers

The guy is the man! :-) Captain Williams is an excellent professor and even better man!

Great professor. He is so willing to help students, open to discussion and debate, very clear. He is excited about the subject and very funny. The class is not overly difficult and he expresses expectations.

great prof and you will definitely learn what you need to know!

Classes lacked structure, but that made them more fun. I enjoyed the discussions we had and the class didn't focus on what Dr. William's opinion was. Midterm and final focused on what WE THOUGHT and using stuff we read to backup our thoughts. Paper was a lot of work, but it wasn't that bad. If I wasn't graduating I would take him again.

One of the greatest professors at Loyola, if you get the chance to take him, DO IT!

I really enjoyed this class. Go to class, do the reading, and participate in discussions. I thought the class was very interesting and engaging and Prof Williams is a great prof!

Best professor at Loyola!

If he was on Grey's Anatomy he would be known as McHottie!! awesome professor. killer paper, but you learn tons.

This class really comes down to what you are willing to put into it. What you put into is what you will get in return. Participate, attend class and get to know Professor Williams and you will not be disappointed. If you are looking for any easy A, don't take this class. If you want to learn things to prepare for life, this class will do that and

Prof. Williams is one of the best teachers at Loyola. He may not spend his classes going over the homework (that's why its called HOMEwork)Instead, his class discussions constantly require students to apply their knowledge to current events. True, this class is not an easy A. But the experience and insight are worth it.

Prof. Williams is tough, but his class lectures are AMAZING!!!!! He knows so much about everything that it BLOWS YOUR MIND! He's extremely helpful in class and will try to help you the best he can if you have a problem. If you are a PLSC major or minor... or just want to take a great class, Professor Williams is a must take!!!

Easy B, with a little work, you can get an A. Midterm, final, and a research paper, you dont have to read the books to closely, class discussions are engaging. IMPORTANT: READ THE NEWS

Tests are to the point and there are no surprises. His stories are really interesting and enrich the course. Text book usage is rather minimal. Being up on current events and paying attention in class will make the tests easier. The research paper is not to bad if you start early. I would take him again.

Dr Williams is an amazing professor at Loyola. He is very engaging with the students and his knowledge of the Political world is unmatched

Great Professor. Entertaining and interesting class discussions. Two essay tests and a paper - if you study and do the work you'll get the A.

Capt. Williams expects a lot from you. But he is not an unfair grader. He is clear with his instructions and what he expects from his students. If you do the reading and go to class, not only will you learn a lot but you will also do very well. The BEST Poli Sci professor I have had while at Loyola!

Great Professor! He expects you to write papers according to his guidelines which are very clear. Attendance isn't mandatory, but helps with the participation grade. Lots of Blackboard postings. The class is lively and interesting, but then again, how could Nat'l Security not be?? Will certainly try to take Prof. Williams again!

OMG!! He wears awesome colored ties. Enough said..., but seriously he is awesome and makes class fun. Not an easy A, but you learn a lot.

Awesome. That is all that can be said. Must work hard on your paper (of course, this should go without saying). He is one of a kind and tell's great stories. However, don't let his kind and jolly expression fool you he is not an easy grader, but an extremely fair one. Would take a class with him again if he would teach ones I haven't taken!

Dr. Williams is the best!! I have taken 3 classes with him and enjoyed them all! His class is discussion based. Midterm and final are essay formate in blue books and one term paper. Take him and you will be glad you did!

Great Guy. Navy Vet/used to work in the pentagon. Has great stories from all of his military contacts around the world. a PLSC major's ideal teacher.

Hand down one of the best political science professors at Loyola. Two tests and a research paper, but he helps you out along the way. Great teacher, great class.

Cool guy, he goes through everything in class. Starts the day off with some funny stuff too. If you read and take notes, you'll do fine

He clearly tells you the expections of the course,demands college level work. He does not give you anything, you have to work for it. If you're looking to just get by, you'll be a B. But you'll lose out on so much if you just "get by" He's an incredible teacher, you will want to take him again and again. Willing to teach if you're willing to learn.

Interesting professor, reading is a must, as the material is not covered in class, but the midterm and final are based off of theories from the books. That's not to say that classes are pointless, I learned a lot from the discussions in class. A bit unclear about what he wants in assignments, but grades with this in mind.

It's a 300 level PLSC class, don't expect class to be a detailed overview of what you read...if this is what you want...don't take him. He's a great professor, willing to help in any way possible. Put in A level work, get an A grade. B Level work, get a B. You have to work for your grades, but it is well worth it. Will take again and again!

I can't say enough good things about Prof. Williams. On the contrary to many reviewers, I like that he leaves you to your own devices. This is college, not day care. I'd rather be told interesting stories for an hour than go through mundane power points. Pretty easy grader, not the easiest. Would definitely recommend to a PLSC major.

Dr. Williams is an amazing professor. If you are interested in the political science field or simply taking a class to fulfill your core, he is the way to go. You will learn many things from Dr. Williams and have a fun time doing it. He is always available to answer questions as well as give "old guy advice" if need be. Take Dr. Williams.

Dr. Williams is a great teacher! He applies the material to his own experiences. I enjoyed listening to him and was never bored! There are two written test, if you keep up with the material and follow the news, you'll do great. He's also approachable.

Professor Williams is by far one of the best professors. His test are a little difficult but he gives a lot of extra credit. He is a very understanding person and makes sure that you are doing well. He makes the class very interesting!

Loved this class. Probably the chillest professor I've ever had. Don't think I read more than 2 pages out of the textbook the whole year. Go to class, listen to lectures, take notes, post often on Sakai, and do well on the term paper and with that you're good to go for at least a B+. Take him and appreciate him! Loyola needs more teachers like him.

If you're looking to be spoon-fed information; this course is not for you. Dr. Williams forces you to apply the concepts he's teaching to current and past events. His knowledge on the subject matter is vast & he's not some dry lecturer. I enjoyed going to his classes!

Reading are very important to the class. I feel the professor's energy is motivated by the students. If the students don't ask questions then he won't really add anything. Basically, he will help you if you want him to help you. this means writing your papers earlier and giving him drafts, reading and using the authors as references.

Professor Williams is fantastic. He tells a lot of stories in class but that's what makes class so interesting, and he co-authored one of the textbooks we used so he knew a lot about the subject, I knew nothing coming into the class about the military but I learned a lot, he's really helpful and genuinely cares about his students and this school.

Best and easiest professor @ Loyola, he will teach you a lot of life lessons but he does not really teach the books he prescribes. All in all , I have taken three courses with him, and I will always think back on it fondly.

Great class discussion, very insightful commentary, respects and engages the students. I will definitely be looking to take another class taught by Prof Williams.

Williams is honestly one of the nicest and most genuine people I have ever met. He is smart and witty and definitely know what he is talking about. He doesn't give many tests (we only had a midterm and a final) and we had 1 research paper so there isn't a large work load. Books are interesting. Would 100% recommend him to anyone that asks.

Extremely funny, every day is interesting, he respects the opinions of everyone in the class, but he'll roast you in a heart beat, put in the work and you'll get the grade you want.

Prof Williams was a great Prof. He loves to talk.... take good notes ... cause you can use them on your papers and test. This man loves history and can and will talk about it for days. very passionate and very knowledgeable of History
