Expects a lot, but gives a lot too.

SHE is a great teacher and challenges the student to think. Very demanding, but I gained a lot from taking her class. If you want to brown-nose your way through this class, forget it, she makes you work for your grade and I respect her for that.

Wonderful teacher! She really knows her stuff and expects a lot of you, but she is willing to work with you so she gets what she wants. She tells you what your tests are on, and then tells you what you should write. She is very smart, and a great teacher!

Loved the class! She is a wonderful teacher! I would take her again if I could. She tells you what she wants. If you have a hard time in this class then something is wrong with you.

I ADMIRE THIS WOMAN!

I've gained a lot from her class

Really enjoys the material, and is very nice, and fair in grading. You must work for your grade, though; there is no easy way out.

She is a very good teacher. It's easy to tell that she is very knowledgeable about Literature and Humanities. She gets you to think, loves class discussions, has a sence of humor,very helpful & understanding, I'd take her for ENG. & HUMN. if I could!

She was very helpful but a little unorganized. I loved the way she taught class and the style of teaching

She is very unorganized and wears tight and ugly clothing. She has a nasty attitude and blows you off when you ask her a question. DO NOT TAKE HER FOR HUMANITIIES! SHe also does not return work on time.

Dr. Willaims is a really good professor. She does make you work for your grade, but it's worth it. I enjoyed her, she's very helpful as long as you take the time to go see her during office hours

She grades harsh but she at least makes the class interesting for you. She gave us lots of chances for rewrites and gave some extra credit!

she is a very helpful woman, plus advisor for map(minority advising poeple)

I took Dr. Williams for both 1101&1102.I really enjoyed her class.Yes she is hard but she prepares you for the regents test and any kind of paper you will ever write.The key is to ask questions and let her know you are trying. She is willing to help you at any time, but make an appointment.I recomme

I really enjoyed the class, to my suprise. Many people said not to take her class, because of different reasons, but it's my guess that they were just extremely lazy. The class was informative,easy and fun. Thanks Dr. Williams.

Dr. Williams is an excellant professor. She will take the time to help you if you take the time to ask for help. As for her missing class it is because of a valid reason.

Wondeful Teacher! I really enjoyed the class and class disscussions.I have never really liked English but she made it very enjoyable and very easy to understand! It is NOT a hard class. She is very helpful and has a wonderful sense of humor! She's an excellent teacher! I give her an A+

For all the people who have negative things to say about Dr. Williams you are just lazy and didn't work hard in her class. She expects alot out of us because we are college students. She is far from a **** she is just proud of her root and where she came from. So all you students that have been hating on her you need to respect her.

Dr. Williams' section was by far the hardest of the three disciplines in my humanities class. It wasn't necessarily Dr. Williams herself, just the sheer amount of required reading. Fortunately, like someone else said, her tests are passable with SparkNotes (though it's best to read if you have the time). Seems to grade essays fairly harshly.

I am a white student in her class. She is helpful as long as you make an effort. she made a point to mention that everyone should come see her once because class time is for the class. She will take personal time and attention outside to help ANYONE! She is a wonderful teacher who tries her best to connect with the students. She uses music to do this, and does it well. she is not a stickler for grammer; she cares more about a student learning how to write clearly. I'll take her again if I can.

Dr. Williams is a great teacher. Anyone who doesn't think so is lazy. She is helpful, interesting, and fair. If you need help she will help you after class because class time is for the class. It isn't hard to do well as long as you try. If you don't do well on a paper she will give you a chance to redo it and show you what you need to improve upon

In my opinion, Dr. Williams is an excellent professor. She is cleary efficiently educated in her field, and has a sense of finesse surrounding her presentation. She is very clear, precise, and fair. If you fail her class and find her difficult, chances are you aren't a dedicated student anyhow which is why you come here to rant rather than the sour

Had Dr. Williams for both Humanities. She made it fun. I really liked her alot! Recommend taking her.

Dr. Williams is a nice woman and will help any student that takes the time to see her after class. She gives plenty of grades so it evens out a little. But she grades papers fairly harshly, be sure to pay attention to detail. I would not say she is the worst, but certainly not easy.

I took this woman for African Images and I have to say that she did a wonderful job. She enjoyed teaching us and sharing with us things that were left out of our earlier education---on purpose. I reccomend anyone taking her. She's really cool, just go sit down with her and have a chat in her office.

I had her for ENG 1101,1102,humn 2001.she is great professor. she is willing to help in any way possible. people don't take her seriously and they end up failing. using a taperecoder works GREAT! She gives LOTS of grades to help boost your average. Tests and quizzes are easy, even if you dont read the material. attend lecture and you will get a B

knows the material

Mrs. Williams is a wonderful teacher. She always went over the things that I did wrong on my English papers. Also, she picks out the most interesting books to read outside of class to do a research paper on. In order to pass her class a person must take notes, ask questions and study the material that is given to you.

The class is difficult, but Professor Williams did an excellent job helping us stay on top of the course load. She explained relevant themes and ideas clearly and did not waste class time on extraneous rabbit-trails. She was always well prepared and organized. This course is dreaded by the incoming students, but she made the class enjoyable.

I liked the class and the material that was taught. I guess i am just used to a lot of structure and in this class there was a lot of freedom.

She is not an average professor. she is really into her class and it is not boring. she is willing to clarify and help you out when needed and she acts like she is one of the students. attendence wise, prefers yo to show up because her test is from her lecture notes, not the book.

She's really big on finding the deeper meanings on poems which really turned me off. She's a great prof but the 2 months on difficult poems is not beneficial.

She's very passionate about literature and HUMN2002 is her thing. She has VERY high expectations, especially if you've taken her class before as I had done. She expects feedback and wants you to analyze the readings. I'm not a lit person AT ALL so I couldn't stand any of it. But she's not TERRIBLE..she just teaches like we're all grad students.

a lot was required for this class. the reflective writings were easy but the work load for this class was ridiculous. she is a very lovable and easy to talk to, down to earth teacher. she enojys literature and likes discussion so reading is important. dont sleep on this class, youll learn a lot. start working on projects early and youll do fine.

She requires alot of work, alot of reading but all in all a great professor.Very understanding,when I explained to her why I needed to drop her class(nothing to do with her)she was very supportive.She demands your best.People you are in college,step it up.As an upper level Humanities student I have nothing negative to say.Loved the challange.

When I first got to ASU, I was told not to take Dr. Williams' classes. Well, I took her Engl 1101, Engl 1102, Humn 2001, and EARNED B's in all. And I'm a music major! Dr. Williams is very knowledgeable and cares about her students...you just have to do the work. I am taking her Humn 2002 this fall. If you want a challenge, take Dr. Williams.

These other students are not completely wrong; YES Dr. Williams can seem unapproachable, YES she is demanding, and YES the material is tough. But if you pay JUST alittle attention to her lecture, you will ACE tests, & the interdisciplinary is manageable with PRIOR Preparation. the prblm is people come to humn and do nothing and expect an A! Do WORK

Professor Williams is by no means a bad instructor. That being said, she is extremely boring. Be prepared to analyze the literature profusely and attempt to find hidden meanings that may or may not actually exist. The work load remains consistently light until the end of the semester when she makes the class write an eight page paper.

1st time I have rated;only doing this b/c I want it stated that although she IS and I mean IS a tough grader, she is NOT mean and is EXTREMELY interesting to listen to.She makes the time in class go by quickly,she really does,and her quizzes are pieces of cake if you do the work. She grades essays as if she's a diff.person tho,TOUGH to pass essays.

I was so afraid to take her after reading these comments but many of them are just mean. She expects a lot from you but everything she does improves your writing ability. I got an A and not actually feel as though I know what I'm doing. Don't be afraid of speaking up or asking questions if you're not clear on something. Overall, loved her class.

Decent teacher; helpful and clear, for the most part; workload is light until research paper. She chooses the novel "Palm-Wine Drinkard"; hated it; a horrible book to complete a research paper on. One habit she has that pisses me off: talking about something unrelated to the work (poem, story, etc.) Wouldn't take her again although I passed.

Overall the class was pretty fair, if you want to pass you the student have to put forth the effort. I think she's a good professor actually.I encourage those who might take her, to be on top of the readings and you'll be guaranteed to pass.

Dr. Williams is not incredibly difficult or easy. All you have to do is read all of the assignments, use correct grammar and give plenty of examples in your essays. She seems like a hard ass but all you just have to be respectful and do your work. She goes through the writing process with you, so grading is fair and consistent.

Dr. Williams in really not that hard. I loved her took her for 1102 and Humn 2001. She lectures alot and is very clear and sometimes require alot of work but she is a very good professor one of the best ive had.

The comments here are really mean. English II is somewhat difficult, but I went during the summer. Heavy reading but it is a LIT class so it's expected. I enjoyed the diversity. Her instructions weren't always clear but if you ask for clarity she will break it down for you. She determines who read with participation. She answered my emails same day

I enjoyed taking HUMN 2001 with Dr. Williams. She tells you what she wants and expects and if you deliver, you will do fine. I took her for ENGL 1102 HUMN 2001 and if you put forth the effort, the class is easy. She likes for you to be thorough and explanatory so she knows that you know the material. If you do that, you will do fine.

Not a bad professor

The professor is direct, not rude. Her personality does not diminish her ability to teach writing. I learned a lot about justice in the course. My writing improved. I'm taking her for Humanities in the fall.

My FAVORITE professor so far out of the entire university. Amazing knowledge, Control over her classroom, inspiring woman. I wish she taught science because I would take her for every class I could. If you don't take her its a great loss and disadvantage on you. ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING PROFESSOR! But no you cant go through her class without effort

Grades papers to a ambiguous rubric but will answer all you questions one on one. If you ask too many questions in class she'll make you look stupid. She expects class participation and will eyeball people till someone talks. Answer the prompts and exceed the min count and you should be good. Lastly ALL material is online. Don't buy anything.

Dr. Williams is an amazing professor as long as you do the right thing and participate in class. She answers all questions in office hours. The Dr has a lot of rules, but is very clear with everything. I suggest taking her classes. As long as you aren't an idiot and you turn in your work, you'll pass.:)

She is such an awesome professor. She is very intelligent and knows her stuff. She expects you to participate in class, and she makes pop culture references. She answers all of your questions as long as you go to office hours. It takes her some time to grade papers, but she has children. I recommend taking her class.

Not the easiest professor but she is intelligent and very passionate. I like that she forces students to think for themselves rather than allowing them to simply regurgitate information. I took her for Humanities 2001 & 2002. Your degree would be worth more if all teachers taught like she does.

She was a nice professor but she graded very hard. I put in a lot of work and only made a 90 in that class. An A is an A but I was constantly concerned that I would drop to a B because the highest grade she gave anyone in the class was 90 on any paper.

Dr. Williams has a passion towards African American Literature. The book you will read is Jubilee. She makes you write a lot of papers. Overall, I liked her as a professor. She is a tough grader though.

Dr. Williams is a good professor who cares about her students' success. There were many papers to write, but it did help to improve writing abilities. She considers her class to be comprised of 'student scholars' and expects you to show effort and willingness to improve. Very nice and cares about her students!

Basic english class but the theme of the class was Food. Yes, there are many papers but she is not a harsh grader. If you meet all the requirements for a paper the lowest grade you will get is a C. She is always accessible outside of class, responds back to emails quickly and she wants you to succeed. Extra Credit. I am taking her for English 1102.

I would highly recommend Dr. Williams if you want your perspective challenged. She is a fair grader and although I've gotten an A in one of her other classes, you have to work for it. I've also never known anyone to fail her class or get below a B. Basic level work will get you a B in this course.

Dr Williams is very nice! There was many assignments, a lot of group work and many grades. Shes a very difficult grader and doesnt give very good feedback, which made this course difficult for me. I really enjoyed the class though.

Good professor, just a harsh grader. If you follow the rubrics and show up to class you will be fine.
