Goes off on tangents, lectures on the reading so get the book or go to class. Attendance not mandatory. 3 unit exams, a midterm, a final, and a response paper. Pretty nice, plays favorites (but who cares).

I like her a lot. I wouldn't mind taking another of her classes. She is the kind of teacher who really wants you to succeed and will do all she can to help you. You are allows 3x5 cards for her tests and she offers a lot of extra credit opportunities. She is also really sympathetic to personal situations (i.e. death in the family).

I never went to class, she teaches straight from the book and she emails you her lecture notes. I recommend taking her for social psych.

means well, but doesn't explain theories and principles well. probably very difficult for people new to psych. don't need the book if you go to class, although many people won't be able to understand the material without it. easy class for me, but apparently not for everyone else. i scored 83% on one exam but ended up w/ 96% because of the curve.

Continually goes off on tangents during lectures. If you go to class and take notes (or if she prints up the slides for your class) then the book isn't all too necessary. she seems a little timid teaching but she knows her stuff. Tacks on a lot of FYI stuff. Tests were mostly multiple choice and is easy if you pay attention. Oh, and she's hot.

Towards the begining of the year she was not as clear of a teacher as she was at the end. Her tests are exactly what they say they will be. I got an A because I worked for it, but it is def. possible. She is a really nice teacher, and she's young so she relates to her students

Very text weighted class but lectures were still interesting and good examples were used to explain material. She is a very helpful professor and if you are having trouble with the material she will do what she can to help you succeed.

She is so cute! I love her. Her tests are so easy. She lets you have a cheat sheet (so make a good one) and she throws out about ten questions on each test that a lot of people got wrong. She gives 30 points extra credit too if you for some reason you don't do well. She is so sweet...take her!

Dont be decieved very hard teacher. but she is a really good and cool person. tests are very hard. gives extra credit. you will have to work pretty hard for a B and very hard for an A. she is also one of the most beautiful teachers at csuf so that helps a lot

TESTS ARE VERY HARD. The hardest part about them is lectures/slides dont correspond to textbook. But overall she is SO COOL and yes she is BEAUTIFUL!! Makes the lectures that much more bearable. Make sure you do all the extra credit.

very cool professor, easy going, if you find the lectures not clear, definitely go see her during office hour. Very happy to help students. Able to connect with students,unlike some professors, they look like they should retire 20 years ago.

tough class but she makes it fun and doable.

Take her. She is a nice professor and easygoing. Her test are not that difficult either.

Dr. Williams is a nice and friendly prof. Her exams are pretty straightforward, but can get tricky on the short answer portions. The labs are fairly tedious or confusing b/c she does not elaborate too much, and her lectures can get boring since everything is straight from the txtbk. Otherwise, she's a good prof if you're willing to do the work.

I love her. Wouldn't want anyone else as a teacher.

AWESOME teacher. SO FREAKIN helpful. easy to talk to. Its a rEALLY boring subject, but totally doable cuz she helps out alot. I was freaked out cu i did pretty bad on the exams but the grading is very spread out so as long as you do well on EVERYthing else... you'll do fine. Plus shes an AWESOME teacher.

Loved the class. It was more of a discussion than lecture, which has its ups and downs. Because of that, the tests are basically out of the book. But the book was great and interesting to read. There is a LOT of busy work, but if you start it early enough, it isnt as bad. lots of busy work. But i really liked her.

She Rocks!! So helpful! Scary at first but she's like that for a reason. I love her! I hope to get future classes with her!

She is an awesome professor but she does work you very hard. I see that she expects a lot from her students but it is worth it. She definitely cares about her students. Her class is interesting and she is helpful. I recommend taking her.

She is really sweet, and I find her lectures, for the most part, to be very interesting and easy to understand and pay attention to. Her tests are VERY hard. Other than that, if you do the homework, pay attention, and read the little magazine-style text book, then you're good. I really enjoyed this class.

Shes a very sweet lady and her lectures are always interesting. She makes everything easy to understand and always has powerpoints. Not only does she sit there and lecture but there is always little videos to further one's understanding:] One of the best professors I have had.

Great class, engaging, practical.

She is an amazing professor, must take her class, extremely helpful

She is very sweet & funny. BUT, her powerpoints and lectures in class are useless. Labs are just lab packets, you don't learn much in lab. Tests are all online & ALL textbook. This can be a good thing, but bad because you don't learn anything in class. Semester group project is easy IF your group gets SPSS. She expects everyone to know SPSS too.

The class is kind of boring which is disappointing since I was really looking forward to taking it. She's really nice and funny but she recycles lectures so it's almost pointless to go to class. 4 tests-all online. one huge project due at the end of the semester. one group presentation. and little assignments due almost every week. busy work

She was an amazing professor! I loved going to her class and she was very funny. The only thing is that her class is a lot of work. Her tests are all online which is good because it is open book but you definitely can't slack off. The group presentation was easy but the final paper is very very long.

Exams are based on the book. You will not pass the exams if you do not read. The upside is that there are a lot of assignments. One big term paper. Make sure you read and do all of the assignments. This is a 400 level class! Don't expect it to be a walk in the park; there is a lot of work required.

great professor and great class. You really have to study for this class however. Very few A's were given and that seems to be the norm. She will go out of her way to help if you just ASK! Talk to her, she can be a valuable resource and really cares about her work and students. Be prepared to study a lot, read the book and do all extra credit!

Gorgeous professor and sweet....she also knows her stuff. I think it's important to note here that the exams are difficult. You have to invest your life and ALL resources to study for them. But do all the work (read the book), ask when you need help and do the extra credit. You will do fine

She was such a good, sweet, and caring professor! However, her exams were ridiculously difficult. I studied for days but it felt useless when it came to exam taking. But the MOT extra credit allows for a really good boost at the end. Used the book a lot! Attendance isn't mandatory but it was helpful if you listened and paid attention in lecture!

Professor Williams makes this class so interesting! The way the class was structured over the summer was very clear but it was alot, which is understandable. Overall she did a great job!Shes very helpful but she doesnt really respond to emails, she will fix any problem you email her about but wont tell you she did it. other then that shes great.

Dr. Williams is a very nice professor who cares about her student's success. With that being said, this course was challenging. Many exams based on the book, a group presentation, and multiple assignments. DO NOT fall behind in this class, there's a lot of information to take in. Good professor, challenging class. Go to her office hours often.

She's one of the best teachers I have ever had. She really knows her stuff. Test are hard, but just make sure you read the book. All her tests questions are from the text. Lectures are interesting, she makes it easy to understand the concepts from real life experiences of her own. Most importantly she really cares about her students, She's awesome.

Looking for an easy A this is not your class. If you want to take something from the course Dr. Williams is your woman. Class is a tad challenging but we are in college so you should be prepped for it. Make sure to have the textbook and be prepared for group presentations. She knows her stuff! Took 2 different courses with her cause she's awesome!

She is a good professor, but tough. You have to read in order to do well on the exams. She takes information from the book. She makes you do a group video project.

Professor Williams, what can I see? She is AWESOME!!!! I absolutely love her. She definitely makes you work in her class. I have taken her for two of them so trust me when I say her class is tough. With that said, she is such an inspiring professor! She really gets you thinking about "you" and the world around in this class. READING IS A MUST!!

One of the best Professors I have had. Exams are made up of lecture and text book material. Both are necessary to pass. I will be taking Doctor Williams again, Her class reminded me why I chose to attend college.

Professor Williams loves what she does. She accommodates every student and truly wants everyone to learn the material and pass. Yes, she makes you work for the grade, but isn't that what college is for? Show up to lecture, skim the textbook, and you'll do fine! We didn't have paper. Just a video assignment, which was fun and easy!

Professor Williams absolutely loves what she teaches you can sense her passion when she lectures. This class isn't an easy A, but it's a 400 level class so don't expect anything less. Overall the class isn't difficult if you follow the syllabus and read and write at a graduate level.

I actually had her for 2 classes last semester and while her tests definitely weren't easy, she is a good teacher and I found her lectures to be very interesting. She is willing to help you with papers if you bring her the rough drafts and offers extra credit. I thought she was a good teacher. You definitely need to study for tests though!

She explains things clearly and in an interesting way. People seem to complain about her talking about her personal life, but I think she does so in a way that is relevant and awesome. Our own experience is one of our greatest tools. And the tests aren't THAT hard if you read the book and review lecture.

Her tests are monsters!! You MUST study from the book. Her power points mean NOTHING and she states this often they are to keep her mostly on track during the lecture. She is great to take if you already have a base knowledge of the material or you can cross-pollinate from your other Psych classes. She is genuine and kind and cares about students

Professor Williams is lovely! She uses personal stories and academic knowledge to highlight the concepts, and offers a range of ways to earn points, including; papers, presentations, peer-review, and of course, exams. The exams are very specific to the textbook, so annotation and critical reading are essential to getting a high grade.

Loved this professor! She was super nice. I took this class on CSUF Irvine campus, so it was a super small class and she was able to get to know her students. Overall interesting class. Tests are a bit hard, but Dr. Williams was an amazing professor and made the class enjoyable.

The class was very straightforward. 4 exams, 3 essays, and 1 extra credit opportunity. BUY THE BOOK! Her test questions are straight from the book so you have to read. She is very understanding and can be easily reached by email. The class is a lot of work but very doable.

easy A if you try, but I don't rlly recommend bc its a huge waste of time especially online. 16 quizzes total & only uses 10 for our grade so she automatically wastes 6hrs of your time. 3 essays that are "self reflection" & "no wrong answer", but still grades harshly. 4 long exams. Group discussions too. lecture is a waste of time. I could go on.

show up to class yall. idk how people learn material then complain without putting in the work. definitely get the textbook she lets u use ur notes. quizzes every week, assignments are short and easy, the tests are easy when u STUDY THE VOCAB. that's the key bc her tests are applications of the vocab. I got an A, just put in the work and ur fine

She is a sweetheart and works with her students. 3 exams, 15 quizzes (1 per chapter, but the 5 lowest grades get dropped), frequent discussions posts, 3 personality short papers due, but are used for a final paper. Exams are hard and application based, meaning it's not simple definitions, but applying concepts to examples. Extra credit is offered.

Dr. Williams is a really good professor and her tests are very application based she does mention a lot of the things on the tests in her lectures. She does not just read off the slides, there are 3 exams, 1 big paper, and about 2 smaller papers that are super easy, and chapter quizzes. The 2 small papers are to help with the 1 big one.

Really good structure for online class, and understanding. I would take this professor again.

Williams is a sweet lady, her exams were kind of difficult but doable. If I'm honest i was hardly in class and still managed to pass exams as long as you keep up with the lectures. I highly recommend starting the SONA research early in the semester, there aren't many studies left towards the end. Overall recommend!

She's a sweetheart and makes her lectures very interesting, however it is very lecture heavy. The tests can be difficult, but if you attend class and pay attention, or at least get the notes online, then you should be able to do well on them. She is very helpful when emailing her about problems and can be very understanding. I recommend taking her!

She is a sweetheart and I would take her again. Emailing her and going to office hours was very easy and she was super helpful. The tests are very application-based but are gone over during lecture.
