I enjoyed his both 1101 and 1102 courses, assignments were always interesting:o)
No Comments
very good teacher with very real class projects on interesting topics. Fun class
great class i enjoyed the class subjects he is a teacher who really gets you to think, it was fun and interesting
His lectures can be boring and he tends to ramble sometimes. He's a bit of a conspiracy theorist so get used to assignment based around that.
I do like how he relates everything to real life. Very smart guy, but does get a little long winded.
Williams is by far one of my favorite professors. He is extremly intelligent and interesting. If you truly care to open your mind and learn something valid, take him.
Great teacher. Very helpful, very entertaining. He could get slightly boring sometimes, but overall an amazing teacher, one of my favorites.
really great class.very good teacher. can get off track sometimes.i like how he relates things to real life.
Excellent teacher. He doesn't just go through the motions, he actually grades based on a students ability to have and support an opinion, not just on whether your opinion is the correct one. He also allows everyone to bring food on movie nights.
Does get of track but very good teacher. Prepare to watch very strange movies and read about stranger ones.

Class has absolutely no structure. Too many videos, and lectures are such a bore. Stay away from this class and take it somewhere that has a decent teacher that you'd learn from.
Amazing prof, very helpful. Easy classes, entertaining and very inteligent.
Great teacher. I worte one of my best pieces ever in his class.
He does not follow class structure. He is paranoid that the CIA is listening in on his classes. (Wouldnt let me bring my PDA or my laptop in because he thought I was recording his sessions). He shows bloody videos of death and WAY to many Michael Moore vid
he doesn't follow a class structure at all so it's hard to know how your doing in the class. he doesn't assign work to grade you on so basically you get a good grade if he likes your style of writing/stories. do not take creative writing if you are not overly creative allready you will not LEARN to write at all.
Very good teacher allows you to voice your opinion gets off track at times but not alot, very helpful and does everything to make you undrstand if you only ask questions.
-very intellectual man- I have his class right now. I've gotten an A on every paper. He isn't very hard, all you have to do is follow the criteria for all the papers, show up to class, and act like you are paying attention. As long as you do these things you're pretty much set. Correct as much grammer mistakes so he doesn't mark points off.
He's a pretty nice guy, but has an odd grading scale and way to teaching. Set in his ways. Asks for others oppinions, but must prove them wrong if they are not the same as his. He is a writer himself and you will not receive a good grade if your thought process does not match his on each subject. Not the class for those with strong oppions.
He's the best teacher ever. Not only he knows what is talking about, he also can back it up. he will help you at all time, in class and during is office hrs. He's also a great listener. I have him also this semester for 1102. Please register for his class and you won't regret it. He's also very handsome and clean.
He is very short with our class. He acts like he is aggrovated when you ask him a question. I would not take his class again
Very accomodating to his audience. Intriging personal stories. Speaks from experience and very beleivable. Fair grading system. Nice personality.I would definately recommend him.
Great teacher, wish I could have him for all my classes. He connects with his students and is always willing to help out with any questions. He does expect you to improve through during the course and will hold you to it. He grades on improvement and attitude. If you do your work and listen to his instructions you will get an A
Do not take this prof. if u have a mind of your own. He based his class on research, and I was given a list of insane topics that I had to choose from. (Roswell was one) He also had us watch a video about JFK's assassination, claiming that it was the passenger in the car who shot him. He LOVES conspiracies, and if you disagree you get a bad grade.
he tries to be honest and fair. if you're curious about the world and mentality alert, you will appreciate him because he is thought-provoking. he is a rare and unique teacher.
his teaching ability is good, but the class was sketch.. for example, all of the reading material was about****and murder.. it makes you dread the class and it makes you feel so sketchy..i think if the material he gave was different, then that class would be better
Professor Williams was absolutley awesome! The class was a bit demanding, but he is a very understanding human and will work with you if something comes up unexpectedly in your life. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone! I will also be taking all of his classes required for my degree. I was very impressed with his teaching methods.
He's a very nice teacher. He tends to ramble on a lot and get away from the subject. A couple of times things were due that he didn't say were due! The material covered in the class was pretty depressing. Murder and ****s.
Great teach, interesting curiculum, and thought provoking. Recomended!
Prof. Williams has got to be the best teacher at DBCC!! He makes the class extremely interesting, you watch alot of movies and he really gets you to open your mind to different subjects. If you take the time to get to know him, he is actually a VERY interesting person! Definately take this class! sc
Professor Williams is a phenominal teacher. His class is so much fun and very intriguing. I only take his class once a week, but look forward to it. You have to go to class to get a decent grade...basically you need to know what is going on. Prof. Wms listens to everyone's opinion and offers his own insight. All in all...WONDERFUL INSTRUCTOR!!
He's nice only if you believe exactly as he does. Worthless for input on writing, the entire class always disagreed with his points about the stories. He's very condescending if he doesn't like you, and he takes forever to get to the point of what he's saying. The class is easy if you do the work, but I never felt comfortable asking questions.
He is a wonderful teacher.very laid back and easy, but he gets you to think about things.
Check this, people: this guy is annoying. Be sure not to retell the story you're writing a position paper on in any way. Most of the stories he chooses are boring and hard to find a "position" to write about. I never knew what exactly it was that he wanted from me because he always had a problem with my writing. I was just glad I passed the class.
Ok its hard for me to take an English professor seriously when he pronounces ask, "AX" and with, "wif". Once I got past his dialect,I was ok. You need to figure out what he wants, and give it to him. My opinions were quite different than his on the between the lines meaning of the stories he chose. I verbalized that and don't suggest you do it.
What's a little criticism going to hurt, isn't that a learning thing? I like him, he's a great teacher. First day of class he learned I have anxiety about speaking in front of others, not once has he called on me directly. Makes me feel comfortable. He grades fairly, do the work and get your grade. You're only screwing yourself if you do poorly.
Mr Williams is an amazing teacher, I took him last spring and all he wants is for you to open your mind and think outside of the usual lines. If you show up for class its a breeze, and u will get so much out of him. Take this class!
Great way to finish off my last english class forever. He likes to open up your mind. Writing was actually a breeze and he is pretty lenient on content - not on grammar as you are expected to be a college level writer at this point. It is Literature so be ready to read between the lines! 2 thumbs & a peace sign!
He is very nice and helpful. If you ask for help he will help you, one time he even let me re-write a paper.The problem I had with him is that he really wants you to analyzed the story, I never really understood what he wanted.
Possibly the best teacher of my life- he has changed my future forever and i will always be grateful for his presence in my life
CRAZY! Monotonous. Destroys the spark of original thought! If you want to sit in class ALLL NIGHT and listen to him go on and on and on about ABSOLUTELY nothing on the topic for which you will be graded, if you want to be told that every idea you have is wrong, if you enjoy being used as a counseling session then Mr Reggie Williams your teacher!
Good professor. Interested in students and wants to learn from you as well as pass on his extensive knowledge. Course material was slightly controversial but overall great class.
Like many people said here, this professor changed my life. I can say that this was the best class I have ever had in my life and I hate writing. This class was a one in a lifetime experience. Highly reccomended
Mr. Williams is by far the best English teacher I have had. He truly makes you take a step back and look at the world. He goes over the material and gets very deep into the discussions so you actually learn something. Like other students have said he has changed my life and this experience I will never forget. I recommend him for any English class.
I really liked him as a teacher. He does expect you to think outside of the box. Ordinary and simple are not going to work in this class..Because of this you become a better writer, which is why he critiques the way he does. Very knowledgeable, likable, and eye opening.
Sure, he talks about the world, and how he feels about it. In the end, there are only 4 graded essays, and he grades HARD. There IS less time put in, but your grade suffers if he doesn't agree with the points you make! He goes on and on about acceptance and living life to the fullest but don't expect him to show you any mercy for your hard work!
probably one of the better teachers that i have taken. i learned a lot in the class. everything is writing so if you cant write a paper very well dont take him even tests are papers. he spent a lot of time on papers and helped a lot. he's pretty laid back has good stories and helpful. to clear things up it doesnt matter if your white or not either
he is a good guy i know him he is very spontanous!!!!!! chaz.....
I took his ENC1101 class as I dual enrolled in my senior year of highschool. I hate English, but absolutely loved his class and him. So much, I signed up to take his ENC1102 class. If i hadnt moved to a diferent city, I would have taken probably all of his classes. Not only does he teach the course well and literally walk you through every step, he
Really great guy. Answered all of my questions. I really learned a lot from him.
Prof Williams is by far one of the best instructors at this school. You WILL have to work. You WILL need to put in effort. Unlike a previous review, I can tell you he grades you fairly, even if e doesn't agree with your view point. However, if yo ucut corners, He'll cut your grade. Seeing as this is a college course, I'd expect nothing less.
Professor Williams is very passionate about his teaching and his technique. I learned a lot in his class. He is a very good teacher. He tell you exactly what is expected of you and there is no going back. Which is very understandable. You have to be ready, willing and able to learn to take his class. AND Daytona States offers it every semester!! LO
I have read many ratings on Professor Williams. Many of them are negative. He is a great Professor. Yes, he is proud of his heritage but we all are. He doesn't want robots. He wants you to have a mind of your own and look at different opinions. I love his outlook of life. He changed mine. I took him for both Englishes. Love him.
Mr. Williams is an awesome professor!!! I took him for both Enc1101 and 02. You get so much for his class! He wants this to be something you carry out through your life, not just college. The stories we read in ENC1102 were so inspiring! Just by taking his class I know what I want my career to be! TAKE HIM! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
Every once in a while, you come across the teachers who will open your mind to a whole different world... take you on adventures that you may never have done. Mr. Williams is definitely one of those professors. I took African American Lit. It was a great class. You grade is based off of your portfolio. Your portfolio is based off of you. Take him(:
Professor Williams is an awesome professor. I wouldn't recommend this class to any slackers because he definitely doesn't take the easy way out with his teaching and expects the same from his students. This was by far the best class I have taken so far. I look forward to taking more classes with him.
Awesome professor! e is very inspirational and gives you a lot of life lessons i recomend him!
Never even read the book (wasn't ever an issue, either)! Mr. Williams is hilarious, definitely gets the students involved. Sometimes the class DID seem monotonous but he's very understanding, funny, and an excellent teacher! Sometimes requirements weren't clarified too well but a quick question solved that!
You really learn a lot. You put in your work and effort, it'll be worth it because it's really rewarding and will help you get an A in his class as well as help you in your other classes. He's really a smart, interesting, and motivating professor.
Most memorable teacher I have ever had. He knew exactly when I wasn't pushing myself to my full potential.The kind of teacher that remembers your name and really listens.I have learned so much in his class and it goes way beyond English.
Very inspirational teacher, I always recommend him to my friends. If you want to get not just a lecture on work but on life too, then take him. He helped me decide on what I wanted my future career to be, won't ever forget the man.
This is the only class I have ever dropped. He grades extremely hard even worse if your views don't align with his. I never got inspired just stressed. Even with help from writing center and a friend with a masters in English my papers were never above a B.
Taking him for African American Lit. Seriously one of the funniest, coolest dudes I've ever met. This class, if you open your heart, will take you on a magic carpet ride to places you never could imagine. It will deactivate your WIllie Lynch Chip. His teaching style is not about allowing you to be complacent, if you want to remain subpar stay home
if you take this class you have to take it with this prof. he makes this class what its worth & goes in depth. i would take it again just for fun & join his club if i could. i wont go as far as sayin this class is a life changer but takin it with this prof. it chnages your perspective on things & really opens ur eyes to new knowledge.
Mr. Williams is by far the best professor at DSC! He truly cares for his students and the subject that he teaches. If you come to class every night, ask questions, and think out side of the box you will do GREAT. I literally was excited to attend his class every tuesday night. His class is a life changer and I love him for that.
AWESOME CLASS!!! COOL PROFESSOR. VERY INSPIRATIONAL.
This professor was amazing! One of the best people you'll ever meet. The only reason you wouldn't love his class is if you didn't show up. He always gets you thinking outside of the box and is ALWAYS there to help you. I would HIGHLY recommend him.
Professor Williams is such an interesting man who is kind and warm hearted. He talks a lot but it's never boring and (almost) never unrelated. If you like classes where topics are chosen for you, skip this class. He encourages students to think and choose for themselves. He inspired me to have faith in my writing.
LOVE THIS PROFESSOR. He changed my life. If you skip class you won't pass but I was always excited to go to class. Understand his insight and you have to be understanding he wants to open your mind. If you don't agree with that perception you need to express your opinion with A LOT of details, that's why some people fail. Overall amazing professor.
First class ever of Dual Enrollment and I had his night class, I've learned so much from him and he was a true inspiration in my life! He is a very funny and truthful kind of guy, and when it come to the lesson he makes everything so easy to do step-by-step and is willing to help those that need it. I totally recommend him to anyone!

Awful grading criteria. Very general with instructions. Never gives a clear answer. Beats around the bush.
if you pay attention, there is much to be learned from this man.
One of the best instructors I've had for writing (and in general). Great sense of humor and is really dedicated about teaching us the material. Lectures are always interesting. He doesn't assign too many papers, and as long as you apply yourself, you should do well in this course.
This teacher is amazing. Inspirational, and extremely knowledgeable.
Prof. Williams tells you what to do every step of the way, literally. There were some days that I actually over-complicated his instructions because it seemed too easy to be true! Sometimes the instructions are a bit unclear, but he makes you find your voice even on topics that you don't care for. I'm taking him for ENC1102 in the fall.
You write journal entries about the content discussed in class or the assigned readings and you have to read them. His lectures are long, but he's pretty interesting so time flies for the most part. No test, no quizzes, your grade is based on participation, mid-term and the final.
Professor Williams was an awesome teacher. Very inspirational, interesting and easy. If you show up to class and turn in your papers you will pass his class. No test or quizzes.
Mr. William's is a great professor. He spends a lot of time lecturing and is very philosophical, yet inspirational. You can tell he likes to help shape his students future and change their perspective. I enjoyed taking his class. We only had 4 essays, however, his grading standards are "old school" meaning 94 is an A. Bring syllabus 1st day.
You walk into this classroom expecting to read and write papers but you gain so much more from Prof Williams. He makes you think about life outside of academia and encourages you to find yourself and your voice. He walks you through everything until he knows you can truly do the papers on your own. Highly recommend if you need inspiration in life!
I took this my first semester back in college as a night class. this proffessor changed my college career and has been so inspirational. I have gone back to him for help on papers for other english classes and have gotten all A's so far. Hes deffidently a great mentor. show you care and he will be thrilled to help you. great teacher!
he breaks the writin process dwn into very small steps. I had a hardtime grasping it at first. I went to his office alot to get feedback on his papers before turnin them in just to make sure i was on the right track. once i understood the process he was tryin to teach I got all As on all my papers & still use this process today, & make As !
One of the best teachers ever. He can be a tough grader but he gives you great feedback and shows you where you lack in his class. He wants you to do good and realizes people have lives out side of daytona state.
Prof Williams is a very involved instructor. I've taken him for 1101 and 1102 now and would not change a thing. He is very caring and very inspirational. He has so much wisdom and so much knowledge to share if you are open minded. I enjoy his English classes very very much.
Easily the greatest English professor Ive ever had. I wish more Professors were like him!
His class is simple: this is what you do: 3 essays ( all of them are position papers, on films) and 1 oral on a book that you have all semester to read. and you choose that theme! PLAIN AnD SIMPLE EASY A
By far the best professor that I've ever had. Don't be afraid to take his African American literature class because it is really eye opening. Not only do you learn about Africa's history but about yourself as well. Writing assignments are based on what YOU feel. About ANYTHING that you want to write as long as it relates. He is truly amazing.
Mr. Williams is by far one of the best professors I've had at DSC. He works with you if you're struggling, and has clear criteria on how the essays should look. Once you got the hang of the criteria, you're golden. He is caring and is an amazing person in general. This class has 3 essays and a presentation. THAT'S it! So much respect for this guy!
Very caring and supportive of his students, I wish I could have him for 1102.
He is the coolest professor I have ever had. I absolutely loved him. His grading is a little old fashioned but if you read his grading rubric, which is in his syllabus, you'll do good. Before you turn in the essay, you sit in class and review it, then turn it in the week after. He gives great feedback, and you can even correct one and re-submit.
Hands down one of the best educators I have ever met! He is straight forward, and does not candy-coat anything . He will make you think for yourself, and challenge you to challenge other's around you. He wants you to connect the dots for yourself. Attend class and pay attention!!
One of my favorite professors at DSC, professor Williams is an incredibly inspirational speaker and challenges you to truly discover who you are. Definitely looked forward to attending his class. Throughout the semester only four essays were assigned and an oral presentation on a book (great book). Highly recommend choosing Prof. Williams!
Honestly, he's a good professor, but his standards are not the usual. 4 papers. 3 on films and 1 final and a presentation. We didn't get to choose the subject, it was food (we still choose more precisely about what (like GMOs, Processed foods,etc...)) but you can guess that in a 20+ people class there were some repetitions. Unclear grading criteria
The best professor! Professor Williams is such a caring and sweet teacher, he will walk you through every step of the way to make sure that you understand everything and is not rude and gives very clear instructions. I RECOMMEND TAKING HIS CLASS! He is amazing and is funny and has a good sense of humor but is still professional.
His grading criteria can be tough. 93 for an A. If he decides he does not like you, he can be condescending. His instruction is not always very clear and sometimes contradicts what is in his syllabus.
A caring professor who will help you improve! At first, I thought this class was gonna be hard (which is was for a bit), but then I realized that you really have to work for it. If you that you want to improve, then this is the professor for you!
I've taken multiple classes with Reggie Williams, and if I'm being completely honest, he's my favorite professor on that entire campus. He asks you to dig deep and give him quality work, not for his eyes, but for your own. He will make you a better writer, a better student, and a better person. He is the cornerstone of that department, imo.
Williams is a GREAT Professor! You have to have mature mindset to handle this class. I have seen people take his "criticism" personal when in reality he challenges you and pushes you to your highest potential. You have smaller assignments that will help you on the big assignment at the end of the semester.
There is no specific textbook, but a lot of suggested material is provided in the Syllabus, and in class. Prof. Williams challenges you to think outside the box, and question things. This was my favorite class this semester. It definitely expands your mind and opens your eyes to the world! I HIGHLY recommend this class with this Professor!!!!
Professor Williams ENC 1102 course is easy. All you have to do is 3 essays all on food and 1 oral presentation on your food related research topic. He explains the assignments very well and gives great feedback on the essays. He also gives examples to help you with the writing assignments. Take Professor Williams for ENC 1102 he is the best.
If you don't agree with him, prepare to be humiliated in front of the class and treated poorly. Is very condescending towards you if he doesn't like you. Goes on long tangents with no clear point to them. Has little respect for COVID-19 protocols and is an anti-masker. Only benefit to his class is no textbook required. Would not take him again.
Reginald WIlliams is genuinely one of the best teachers I have had the pleasure of having. He is inspirational, open-minded, and kind. He is also super funny and wants people to dig deeper within their brains and think. He wants us to get something out of the class and not just a letter grade. Had for ENC1102, LIT2000, and will have for AML2600. :)
He is an excellent professor. He will walk you through writing a college-level paper and gives clear instructions and grading criteria. He clearly wants to teach you and point out anything you should change. 10/10
I took Prof. Williams for both ENC1102 and LIT2000. He is a super funny, kind and inspirational. However, he is a tough grader and wants his students to succeed so he isn't handing out As for nothing. Both classes were graded on 4 assignments that were worth 25% of the final grade. I would highly recommend, only if you want to better yourself.
Absolutely one of the best teachers/professors ive ever had. Super fun and interactive in the classroom. It is the only class i have ever looked forward too. makes learning fun.
Grade is made completely of only 4 assignments. Deadlines are not set until the class before, the class is never on the same page because instructions are incredibly unclear. Easy A but stressful and frustrating because of NO structure to class. Interesting cool person but i learned absolutely nothing from this class. Material is so dumbed down.
Mr. Williams is awesome! He clearly states EXACTLY how he wants you to do your papers, and he gives you ample opportunities to change things before final due dates. Yes, there are only 4 graded items throughout the semester, but as long as you show up, follow along, and follow his instructions, you will find yourself finishing this class with an A!
He's a very good professor and you should take this class if you want to be a better writer. There are no deadlines instead, he'll set them when he feels the class is ready for them. He walks the class through paragraph by paragraph so if you follow his instructions, you'll turn in really good work. He could be better at responding to emails.
