Really nice and easy-going lab instructor. Quizzes are hella hard (really hard greader), so make sure you read your lab manual well before you take them. Otherwise, doesn't really care about too much. Can be funny at times, and really just laid back.

After i heard her first lecture, i knew i wouldn't do good in the class. She explains biology at a level of a BOTONIST; as she is, making you not able to comprehend her definitions. She's nice though, and if you study and come to class everyday, you should make a C. Study real hard for her tests though; they are hard!!!

Ms. Williams is nice and means well but she is disorganized and gets off track during lectures. She also tries to cram too much info. into some of her lectures. She uses the same tests from previous semesters so she does not let you review what you got wrong. I think she lacks creativity and I would suggest taking BIO 141 from someone else.

Prof. Williams is really kind and sweet but doesn't test you on the material she teaches. Also her study guides are not accurate whatsoever. Also if you're looking for a teacher who gives quick feedback, I'd recommend you not to take her. Attendance is usually taken in lab, barely in lecture.

I seriously do not recommend this professor. Shes a good person, however she reads directly off the power points and it can be very hard. Her exams are extremely difficult and do not even mention the cumulative final. I'm an average student, studied extremely hard, however I ended up with a C. If you don't want to ruin your record, don't take her.

Be prepared to teach yourself! Super sweet lady but her teaching style is not good. I passed but that is ONLY because I have prior knowledge in the course.

She is very nice but her teaching style is not very helpful. She knows a lot but she doesn't explain things very well. She does give a study guide for the tests but they are only about 60% of the test material. I would study the power point slides instead. She just reads her slides for lecture. The tests are what make up most of your grade.

She is the worst instructor I have ever experienced without exception. She is completely unprepared for class and unresponsive to emails. She regularly makes mistakes in her lectures from what the text says, often talking in circles then makes more mistakes on her tests and will not answer questions about her errors. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!

Professor Williams is a kind and caring person and very knowledgeable about her subject. She gives great powerpoint slides and study guides. You will have to do a LOT of textbook reading for this subject and maybe even watch some videos on the internet to really grasp some of the material, but you will get a good grade if you do the work.

Professor Williams is a great teacher. She posts PPT, study guides that match the exam, and video resources. She also has a clear grading criteria: 3 exams, quizzes for each unit, and a final. Most exams are multiple choice but some have a mini essay which is in the study guide. her response time isn't great for emails try canvas. She's very kind.

I wish there wasn't a limit on here! When it comes to remote learning she's consistent. Even though attendance isn't mandatory its best not to skip since she doesn't record lectures and doesn't know how to allow students to record. Pay attention to lectures they're very helpful. She also gives extra credit at the end by attendance.

Prof. Williams is a fantastic teacher! She is very knowledgeable about the subject & willing to answer all questions. She helped me to truly understand the subject so now when I'm working in the hospital I know things and can pick up on things that would have gone over my head before. I totally recommend her for anyone looking for a great teacher.
