Really tough class. Dr. Williams is not an easy person to talk to or get ahold of outside of class if she's not interested in you personally. She's also unorganized. Hw dates and labels were messed up a lot. You have to do this term test of 119 words in 20 mins. I felt exams were poorly worded or meant to trick you. Lecture slides are sloppy.

Worst teacher I've ever had and I tell everyone that is in psychology to make sure you never get her. I got screwed over on the proposal that she told my group member that it looked good, and then the first draft says: "The easiest thing to do here is to change your topic and your title. But there will be a one grade deduction on the final paper."

This class is hard. It's super unorganized and you can't rely on Canvas because she doesn't keep up with it. She says you can contact her through her cell number but never replies. There are 115 points worth of terms that you have to get done by the end of the quarter and honestly I have never learned one. I recommend taking a different professor.

Dr. Williams literally makes up work out of anything. She added on assignments that weren't on the syllabus. You have to take a term test of 115 words in 20 minutes. Her quizzes are ridiculous. I would NOT take her again. Never is available outside of class. Attendance is mandatory but we never do anything in class its a "flipped class".

Professor Williams is perhaps one of the most unorganized and spontaneous professors I have ever had. She does not have clear grading criteria and will tell you that something is good, but then will dock you on it after you turn in the assignment. You have to guess what she wants because what she says and what she does are 2 very different things.

Dr. Williams expectations are unrealistic. She is unclear on assignments and grading specifications. She is very chaotic and does not lecture in class, yet attendance is mandatory. She gives you ridiculously low time limits on quizzes and exams. A 115 term test in 20 minutes. Is impossible to contact outside of class. Very hard class overall.

just dont

Easily one of the most unorganized and unprofessional professors out there. Not a bad person but not a good professor at all. She goes off on people for no reason and has low patience when it comes to asking valid questions about the assignments in class. Definitely try to avoid her.

I would never take her again. She gives not the best clarification on anything from homework assignments to projects to papers. No one knew what they were doing in class... she does not teach at all and if she does people do not understand. I basically had to go on quizlet for help. Note: nothing will help you in this class. better safe than sorry

Dr. Williams might be the worst psych professor I have come across. She really thinks that students are only taking her class and gives an outrageous amount of work to do outside of class. Not to mention, the class is a flipped class so lectures are online and you have to do it in your own time. DO NOT take a class with her.

Awful professor cant take any criticism. Someone told her she had a bad review on here and spent the whole class talking about how she wasnt bothered by it but clearly was. She was dramatic Ive known professors who are racist, sexually harassed their students, but Im the most awful?? She is condensing and rude. She doesnt explain assignments

She acts like students dont have 3/4 other classes and can spend 20+ hours a week studying for only her class. The tests are nothing like the lectures or study guides. The lectures are long and it seems like none of the material is even on the tests. Youre doomed to fail. HORRIBLE PROFESSOR. If you have a job or other classes, prepare to fail.

Term test with 116 fill in questions and only 20 minutes to do it. Weekly quizzes that are 22 questions (2 that are short answer) and 20 minutes to do it. Cant go back and forth between questions. Wouldnt recommend

I am a senior at Central Washington and this professor is absolutely the worst teacher I have ever had. A lot of friends told me that she was a horrible teacher but I had to take her class because this was the last course I needed to graduate. Weekly tests on 50-80 pages of reading. A term test that is 116 definitions you have to define in 20 mins

Most disorganized class I have ever taken, hands down. Expectations were not clear and explanations were hard to come by. TA and Dr. Williams made contradictory statements and instructions. Dr. Williams was harsh and downright rude when giving feedback- even though 90% of the time the instructions were ambiguous at best. Terrible class!!

Worst professor in PSY department. DO NOT TAKE HER IF YOU WANT TO PASS

Don't take! If you can't read her mind on what she wants on assignments, be prepared for her to be harsh when you ask for clarification. Somehow, it's your fault if you didn't understand her very unclear and vague instructions. Term tests have 115 terms in 20 mins, and she seems to think this class is the only thing you have going on in your life.

Wendy Williams is very rude and judgmental. I did not enjoy learning from her because my group and I would be yelled at by her every zoom call. It got to the point where we dreaded logging on. She piles on way too much homework for an online class and does not respect that students have a life outside of school. Told my group members to quit jobs.

Unclear instructions. Assignments are not always shown on the canvas dashboard so it's easy to miss some, and late work isn't accepted. Tough grader. A LOT of homework. A few weeks into the quarter, I told her I was having a hard time keeping up with work because, among other things, my grandma had just died. She didn't even answer the email.

claimed to be understanding but did not show us any grace when it came to homework. Her class does not translate well to an online format and she does nothing to help with the transition. She has several lectures, a 30 minute assignment, weekly hour long meeting, and a 115 term test, as well as other modules per week. Very cruel to students.

If you can't use respondus lockdown browser don't take classes with her. It's mandatory and she is not lenient about it. You either use the browser or you fail the class, she even says it in the syllabus that you can't complete anything without the browser. On top of this there is a lot of memorization every week.

Worst Professor ever. Imagine spending hours on a study guide for none of that information to be in the tests or quizzes. No respect or understanding of students time and does not understand that you take other classes. I hate to say it but she should not be a professor.

Shes a very picky grader considering how unclearly her instructions were. All my peers seemed just as confused as I was with certain assignments. She expects a lot of reading done weekly and if you have a kid, a job, or are a full time student I highly do not recommend because you wont have time to do it all and will probably struggle to pass.

BY FAR WORST CLASS IVE EVER TAKEN. In the first ever zoom meeting she said anyone with jobs likely wouldnt succeed and encouraged us to drop the class. The avg grade for the class on quizzes and assignments never went above 60% and she bragged about it. I had surgery and she told me if I couldnt catch up in 1 week I should drop out, so I did.

Missed two group sessions and dropped me off the class

I am a 4.0 student who does online classes because I work full time. If that is you, DO NOT take a class form Wendy Williams. She is a professor who prides herself on making this class as hard as possible. Between the readings and lectures you should expect 4 hours a day of homework.

I have never had such displeasure in taking someone's class. She public called me out to other students for asking for an actual study guide saying in "all her years of teaching nobody has needed a study guide." I am a 3.6-3.8 student. I average As all year long, and this is the worst class I have ever taken. She penalized me for having covid.

She expects a lot out of you and if you do not have a lot of time to dedicate to her class and her class alone do not take her. She doesnt care about her students and is very strict on some things then others not so much. She makes you redo assignments until they are perfect. Shes just too much.

Extremely unclear with any kind of instructions. Impossible to get ahold of via email, does not answer for long periods of time. Always wants to have zoom meetings for no reason. She addressed in the syllabus to message her through her personal phone number which is just.... no. She is nice but seems to not know what is going on.

If you take a class with her you'll feel like you bother her by simply existing. She generally doesn't respond to emails but when she does get ready for rudeness and zero help. She has no patience and everything seems to be the student's fault. I felt like a pebble in her shoe instead of a student who paid to be in her class. Just avoid her.

The vocab test is over 150 words. There is less than a minute to read the definition and type the answer. Vocab is just random words she finds important. They're posted at the beginning of the quarter, but she still has mandatory weekly meetings where she goes over the words, her memorization techniques, and her kid's accomplishments. Tough grader.

Although the online format of this course may contribute, Professor Williams assigned an extraordinary amount of both readings (75+ pages/week mandatory) with multiple hours of video lecture also assigned to achieve a reasonable grade on the quizzes. Additionally, there is a 115 word "term" test to be finished in 25 minutes. Would not recommend.

Doesn't give clear writing instructions which leads to her ripping apart your work and rewriting it the way she wants. Requires a group project but doesn't pay attention to make sure all group members are equally participating. She will get petty if you decide to use your own idea for the project instead one the one she picks. Do not recommend.

Changes instructions on a whim, arbitrary grading, doesn't fully explain how to write your paper. She would literally edit her instructions in front of you on zoom, made me wonder how often she changed things during other meetings. Don't recommend. Take literally any other professor.

Never in my life have I been so frustrated with a class/professor, and it was only for one credit. I really do wish Dr. Williams all the best, but I will never take a class with her again. Tough grading, everything has to be done her way, unclear instructions, & lots of coursework.

Combative when you question grading. Unclear instructions for the group project that changed several times throughout the weeks. Took away even more points when I tried to explain that her feedback for what she deducted points for was not correct instead of fixing the grade. My team and I spent hours together almost daily to meet her requirements.

I added this class during the accepted add/drop period and got an email from the professor after the add/drop period had ended, that it was basically unacceptable to add this class because they had already completed 10% of the grading material in the first 5 days, including a test...? Will refuse to take a class by her in the future.

The work load was literally just out of this world for me. She constantly asked for work to be turned in to the point where there was no set schedule of when assignments would be due in the class. As a student athlete, it was exhausting trying to pass. If you are working, a part-time student or even a parent I suggest you pick another professor.

This class has been one of the hardest class I have ever took. She grades really hard! I had missed 1 class because I had to go put my dog down she told me "When you miss a meeting, you miss all the assistance. It is no wonder that you found it difficult". After not doing the assignment right. She will make you redo assignments 24/7.

This is the worst class I have ever taken. She expects you to prioritize her class over others and will tell you to drop the class if you need to miss a meeting. There are 2 weekly quizzes, multiple chapters per week, an interactive textbook assignment, and group project assignments. Her proposal handbook is also completely outdated. AVOID!!

One of the worst professors I had the displeasure of taking a class for. I had to start saving down the original copies of instructions and rubrics for assignments because she would change them significantly without notice at the last minute and would grade based off of those. Learning = mindless memorization + excessive quizzes to her. Avoid!

She is not qualified to be teaching this class. She has little experience working in the field of behaviorism. Her only experience is being a board member of a job training that uses it but that's it. I found she would contract the text book but when called out. She would state that YOU were wrong nor were her expectations reasonable.
