Professor Williford is a teacher you think is brilliant when you are 18, but then with maturity realize he is not. I found it inappropriate how he sometimes incorporated his religious views in class. I learned the material, and I did not take him again.

Professor Williford is amazing. I recommend him to everyone. He is a tough grader but he is fair. His tests are difficult if you don't study or read the book and he makes you work for a good grade but his lectures make all of it worth it. He is inspirational and you can tell he wants all of his students to succeed. He truly is an amazing professor.

Professor Williford is so awesome, I would consider him to be one of top professors at CCM. He gives high quality lectures with some humor thrown into the mix. Just make sure to take good notes and read the book because his exams are quite tough especially if you dont study well. But he is fair and wants everyone to succeed. Please take him.

Professor Williford is the funniest and all around best professor I have ever had, even coming from a four year institute. Every class I attended for his Cross Cultural Psychology course was interesting. He makes learning fun, and he helps you to get to know each student in his class on a first name basis. 10/10 human being. Would take again!

One of the best professors at CCM. I took him for 3 classes, and the only one that was difficult was General Psychology. Cross cultural psych and community mental health were show up & pass. Really cares about students, lectures are enthralling, and you learn a lot. Hardly ever responds to emails though.

Professor Williford is a sweet, kind, and funny professor. Although some of the content of his lectures can be monotonous, he works very hard to keep his students engaged. A lot of memorization. He takes forever to get tests and papers back, and his grading criteria is unclear. Hes a nice and caring man, however; a little frustrating at times.

Hes full of himself and tells 3-5 irrelevant anecdotes per class in which the common factor is him being a hero and not the actual work, even though he seems to be very experienced. He has zero gender or diversity perspective and is not clear on where he stands on social issues. He had us applaud the police and military, which I thought was weird.

Most AMAZING professor and person!! I took Dr. Williford for Adolescent Psychology. He was FANTASTIC. Dr. Williford is helpful, kind, and personable. He truly wanted to be there to teach you and he would go above and beyond to make sure you understood the material. I would definitely take him again and HIGHLY recommend others to take him as well.

As I was taking this class during a pandemic so I dont judge Professor Williford too harshly. My main issue was one of the movies chosen by him that we needed to watch outside of class. This one movie in particular was called The Kite Runner and after looking for it I find a summary Of the movie. The movie has things no movie should ever have in it

I'm online. But I really do not like him. He's EXTREMELY hard to get ahold of via email, VERY slow grader, favors students he likes. His lectures can be fun, but his inability to relay important info on upcoming assignments is TERRIBLE. He cancels assignments without telling anyone, cancels sections in assignments without telling anyone. NOT GOOD

He is the best! I took him for general PSY 113 in the summer! He truly wanted everyone to have a good time during the summer and learn, just without the stress! Yes, he can be slow at replying to your emails, but he made sure to answer all of your questions on zoom. Very straight forward, interesting lectures, keeps everyone up at 8am lol.

Professor Williford was an important professor to take. He shares meaningful experiences academically, has insightful lectures, and is an inspirational person to take a class from. Some of his teaching information seems somewhat old-fashioned, but he makes up for it by truly caring about his students.

I had taken 2 classes with professor Williford. He is amazing as a human and professor. Gives extra time if needed, he does not believe in tests. There are many assignments all given in the syllabus, and he has issues taking too much time grading. But if you do all the work, you already passed. He has so much to talk about, truly inspirational.

Great professor! Although he is hard to get a hold of via email, he is easily accessible after class for as long as you need. He is also super understanding when it comes to assignments, whether you need an extension or somethings late, he doesn't knock off any points. His classes also have no tests or quizzes, but he does have a mandatory paper.

He was such a great professor! All his lectures are so interesting and he genuinely tries to help his students in every way possible. He doesn't give tests for Adolescent psych but he does assign a lot of papers, so be prepared to write. Also, I didn't know my grade for this class till the end of the semester because he doesn't submit grades on bb

The class is like a group therapy session. You learn through shared experiences. Grades are based on weekly reflection papers and one final research paper with a presentation. He gives no feedback on grades, and you won't know your grade till they are posted. No blackboard. He's caring, tells good stories and knows how to get students engaged.

Fairly ambiguous assignments but as long as you attend class and participate in discussions you should do fine. Dude has fairly interesting stories and loves talking to students during office hours. Most of the class grade was on an oral presentation (more like discussion amongst peers) and a 4 source annotated bibliography about a chosen topic.

In particular, the way he delivered the material—combining truly deep insights with his characteristic light teasing—made the content stick and kept the entire class environment dynamic. It was clear how passionate he is about psychology, and that passion was infectious. I would love to take other psych classes with him as my professor.
