Sweet teacher, very bubbly. Tests were hard, but gave tons and tons of extra credit. I reccommend her if you are willing to do work for her class. But, she is very easy to get along with, and has a very open, optimistic personality!

Great personality... Tests were hard as crap! I usually make A's and I ended up with a B.... I worked my butt off too! She scares the crap out of you when she talks about grading the papers... But she doesn't grade them that hard. Be prepared to work you butt off to get a good grade!

She is an awesome teacher! She has a great personality and makes class interesting. She gives a study guide for the tests, just make sure you do the extra reading she gives!!! Also, she gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit. As long as you pay attention and do study guides, you will do fine. I definitely recommend her!

Great teacher. She is very cool and good at what she does. I recommend reading each chapter in depth and you will do fine.

She is a great teacher!! She is always willing to help if you need it!

Dr. Williamson is AMAZING. I highly recommend her. Extrememly friendly, ALWAYS willing to help and her lectures are so structered and easy to follow. I wish ALL my professors were like her.

Great teacher!! I highly recommend any of her classes. She explains EVERYTHING in detail, loves to talk, she's really a morning person! Tests were simple if you study the lecture notes and do fill in the blank section of test first (mostly vocab words). Only hard part of class was the community svc hours (25) and writing the paper about it.

She's a nice lady. Her lectures are good. She goes over material very well, but her tests are ridiculous. They go through every tiny nook and cranny. Only a bit of the test is spent on the main points. All of the rest of it is just minor, insignificant material.

Love her! Sweetest, bubbliest person in the world! Always has a smile on her face. I never bought the book and still made an A, but reading is really helpful. Grades very leniently on papers and projects. Tests are comprehensive, but not hard if you pay attention in class. Offers more extra credit than any teacher I've ever had. Take her class!!!

LOVE HER!!!!! I wish everyone had her enthusiasm, and love for what they do! Her passion is contagious! She's quite possibly the sweetest person you'll ever meet, and so helpful. She's a neat, neat lady.

had a pretty early class but LOVE HER!! Always started my days on MWF off awesome! Super sweet and bubbly. Her test and pretty much straight from the study guides and extra credit saved my life. Attendance is key though!! I would highly recommend her classes

She is a GREAT teacher! Gives study guides and test are just like the notes so if you take good notes you will get an A! Very helpful and OFFERS EXTRA CREDIT. Attendance is REALLY important to her and will effect your final grade! EASY A OR B!

Wow this was an interesting class. but it was hard...the tests were at least. Don't take this class unless you are a good note taker and a great test taker for everything she says or writes may be on the test!

I loved this class at the beginning of the semester. It was all very interesting and she kept it upbeat. Then the attendance record grade started. She brings down your grade just for coming in one or two minutes late. No joke. And her tests were pretty difficult. I worked my butt off and only got a C.

very nice and enthusiastic but her tests are extremely hard,only because you must memerize ALL of the facts from every chapter

great teacher! made class fun everyday. explained the topic of discussion very clearly. Tells good stories from time to time:) gives extra credit! tests are very hard to get an A on.. studied like crazy and made Cs on the tests.. i guess its just the way she words things on the tests..

Best professor I've had thus far at Gainesville. Her lectures are clear and easy to understand. She uses tons of examples. Her tests are hard and YOU HAVE TO STUDY for them. She will add points to your final grade for attending co curricular activities. Loved her and her energy! I would recommend to anyone!

Great professor! Her tests aren't hard just very thorough. If you make flash cards from notes and book and look over in plenty of time ahead you will do fine. Just come to class everyday, do what she assigns exaclty how she assigns it and study you do good in her class. She is very personable and helpful! Also take advantage of extra credit opport.

She is such an amazing teacher! She truly has everyone's best interest at heart and will do anything to help you. However, if you're not a good test taker, I wouldn't suggest the class. We only had 3 tests and a paper. No homework or quizzes, which makes it hard to maintain a high grade.

She is probably the nicest teacher on campus- very bubbly and involved. However, there is lots of outside reading involved and the hardest tests that I've ever taken. Good luck.

Dr. Williamson is by far my favorite teacher I've ever had. I took her once and took her again. She is energetic, funny and friendly. She gives extra credit opportunities that are added to your final grade. gives study guides and the paper you write she allow you a chance to make corrections and resubmit. Allows four absences without any penalty.

Dr. Williamson is a GREAT teacher! She makes class really enjoyable & interesting, no matter the subject. She gives many extra credit opportunities that are added to your final grade, only has you write one paper, and gives you a study guide before each test. To do well on the tests, you need to memorize A LOT but by far this was my favorite class!

Professor Williamson is amazing! She gives great extra credit that saved my semester! She is so happy and funny all the time which makes the class fun! Would absolutely take again!

Okay so I took her my first semester of college. She's a really smart women, tells funny stories, and goes through the chapters very thoroughly during lectures, and she makes the lectures VERY interesting. I personally LOVED this class. However, the exams are really tough. I learned how to study and it made me feel prepared for other tough classes

If you have already met your 5 class miss limit DO NOT MISS ANY MORE. I can actually stand her lectures, she makes them interesting and she is very high spirited. She is a tough grader but if you pay at least minimal attention you should be fine. Reading your book before tests is mandatory. Overall, I did enjoy her class and I would recommend her.

Dr. Williamson is such a sweet lady! She is so funny, and she really cares about her students. Though the class is somewhat challenging, she gives you all the materials you need to succeed. If you actually put in the work, you will learn a lot and do fine. Take her!

TAKE HER! Mrs. Williamson always made the lectures enjoyable and entertaining. Although attendance is mandatory, the material we discussed was always interesting. There are 3 exams and the final is cumulative. Such a sweet lady!

She is great! almost everyday is a lecture and there was no group work all semester, but she is a great lecturer. she is funny and actually has real life personal experience with sociology outside of a classroom. She is available and can be lenient with grading. the tests are extremely thorough and typically cover every term on the study guide.

Loved her, although I didn't make the grade I wanted to. Would definitely take her again. She is hilarious and very caring and made class enjoyable, even at 8:00am

Very caring professor, and makes class very interesting. We had weekly notes due, and one big paper. The study guides are huge and the tests are very hard!!! So much information, but a great teacher.

WONDERFUL. Hard tests, even if you enjoy the material (mult choice/short answer/fill in the blank). Three tests, one final, one paper. Weekly notes as homework. She offers multiple extra credit opportunities, but they're all on campus after class. Wish there would've been a take home assignment for students with a heavy work load as well as school.

Wonderful professor. She's very caring and helpful and is very invested in sociology. Her tests are pretty difficult because they go over about three chapters each, so make sure to study up on the terms. She offers plenty of extra credit, so if you aren't doing well on tests you can pull up your grade. If you put in the effort you will get an A.

she's literally the best! she lectures the whole class period but her lectures are very interactive and funny. she is so nice and really cares about you. the best professor I've had by far!

Dr. Williamson is one of the most interesting people I have ever met, and she is just a great person. She is very clear on what she wants and no excuses fly with her. There are a good bit of extra credit opportunities. A lot of her reviews say that her test are extremely hard which is not 100% true. Her tests are extremely thorough. She is great!

My favorite class ever. Williamson is amazing and is so educated on what she's teaching. Her exams are difficult but her study guides give you everything you need to know to get an A. Attend class, take notes, study, and it'll be easy. Her lectures are so informative and often times fun, I HIGHLY recommend this class! She's seriously the best.

She is very fun and keeps her students engaged. Be ready to spend quite a bit of time on this class and other outside assignments. I would recommend. You could easily pass if you study the study guides and stay on track with all assignments.

Dont to take her

Dr. Williams is an amazing professor. Shes super nice and leaves really good feedback on all discussions and papers. Would recommend an E-book version to use for quizzes (all open book open note).

very nice

Such a sweet lady. Def take her!! The tests were semi hard but she really wants to see her students succeed and gives lots of extra credit! If you try in this class You will make an A. Her lectures are so funny and I really learned the info. Her classroom enviroment was calm and that made it easy for me to learn. She really trys to be helpful.

The BEST! There are weekly notes straight from the textbook which help you study for your test. If you dont read the book, the test is going to seem super hard. She gives so much extra credit and is so sweet! Highly recommend this professor to everyone!

Mrs. Williamson was always so kind and I loved listening to her lectures! Her expectations were unclear at first regarding homework but once you get in the rythym of things the class is a breeze. She answered emails quickly and was more than willing to help you get an A, as long as you put the work in as well.

Dr. Williamson is awesome! Her lectures are funny and interesting. If you do the weekly notes, show up to class, and are attentive to the lectures you will get an A. Gives extra credit opportunities as well. The one downside is the multicultural essay which has to be 10 pages, however, you have all semester to do it so it is manageable.

I really enjoyed taking this class. Her lectures were very engaging, and we had plenty of resources to excel in her class. She offers many extra credit opportunities, easy grades (like textbook notes), and as long as you study her tests are very straight forward. There is a MINIMUM 10 page paper for the final, and it is important to put effort in.

Great professor! She gave interesting yet educational lectures. If you show up and try you will do great! Her exams are thorough, but there should be no problem if you listen and study there should be no problem.

Loved her lectures a lot, but her class is not easy. She's animated and funny, and she made the class very interesting. I definitely recommend her to others, but not if you want an easy A

Absolutely loved Professor Williamson! She has a great attitude about her job and is kind enough to provide extra credit opportunities. Her lectures are very interesting and useful to her exams. Her final is more thorough but she gives you plenty of time to not only complete it but allow her to review it and receive feedback. Fall 2022.

70$ textbook, probably 2 hours a week for a vocab assignment, and tests are unexplainably difficult. Lectures go by quickly, and she's very personable, but expect a no mercy policy for mistakes. She'd be a cool grandparent, but her expectations for students seem slightly misguided. You could spend hours on something, and one minute late is a 0.

Professor Williamson is amazing! She's caring and what I like most about her is how straightforward she is about what she wants from you, unlike other professors that I had. However, her exam formatting is difficult but if you do the weekly notes, which is an easy weekly grade by the way, take notes in class and study them you should be okay.

I have taken 3 courses with her & every course had the same format. Discussion due every week & 25 question quizzes due ~ every other week. Unfortunately, quizzes only show one question at a time & are timed. She also requires a final exam and a 10+ pg paper. She expects a lot from you but I enjoyed the consistency & she is a really quick grader.

She wants you to succeed and has been polite in my few interactions. However, this class was unreasonably difficult. I spent more time on her class than my other 4 combined. Quizzes are open answer/essay. Final paper and exam are 40% of class grade. Weekly "discussions" usually ended up 4-5 pages for me. Lots of reading, research and stress.

Good communicator, good lectures. Just take notes in class in her class and study them, because her tests can be challenging. Do all assignments and do them on time. 10 page essay due at the end of semester. I agree that she's a hard grader, but go to her office hours or talk to her if you have ANY confusions. Put in effort, and she'll help you.

OMG I loved this professor! She is awesome and is super personable. She made this class so interesting and easy to follow along in class. There is not that many grades, and the assignments she assigns are easy! She gives great feedback on your draft for the final paper. The tests can be tricky, but she gives you everything you need to pass!

Professor Williamson is a good professor. She's very well spoken and knowledgeable in the field and that makes the class nice. The only strange thing is that she is adamant about no technology in class, only her computer and projector essentially are allowed.

Good professor overall. She is understanding and good at communicating w her students. Attendence is 10 percent of your grade (can miss up to 3 days of class), and she does not distinguish between excused and unexcused absences. The tests weren't that hard in my opinion, just study the vocabulary words in the book and you're good.
