Very good professor, looks like Anthony Hopkins.

Dr. Williams is awesome, he even made us brownies!

Kind of scary at first, but funny guy. Study for tests and you'll do great!

interesting guy

I like his class. The chocolate cake he brought to class was great.

very smart and dedicated to helping us learn, but tough at 9 am!

Very good prof!! Funny as hell!

good teacher, gotta get used to his personality, but he's funny, not the easiest to take for 8am classes... best around lunch when he's had his coffee

Excellent lecturer, makes them very interesting. Can be intimidating at first, but easy going and funny once you get used to his personality. Truly cares about his students and the field.

I found him to be very interesting. He knows volumes of historical information and will lecture on it ad nauseam. It is best if you approach this prof. with a good sense of humor and thick skin. Don't expect him to remember stuff, he won't.

really great teacher! lectures are well taught and love the sense of humor :)

Good lecture style. Go to class and pay attention and the class is a breeze!

Bill Williams is the best Professor I have had in my four years of college. He is attentive to student's needs, helpful, and very caring to the struggles students face in their everyday lives. I would recommend this professor to any student who needs a break from mundane professors.

Never uses the board. Just lectures from a chair. Super layed back and flexable. LOVE HIM! Really Funny.

Great professor. Very laid back and motivates me to learn more about psychology careers.Humor, clarity, and wisdom

I though he was very funny and really easy going. One of the funniest things he does is refer to himself as "little Billy Williams." Its a great class and he teaches it great.

Very clear at discussing material

As long as you're good at taking notes, this is a good prof. He never uses the board, except to draw (which he isn't too great at). Very laid back and a funny guy.

he is a pretty decent teacher, but the new experimental class is complete nonsense. 3 lectures, at home quizzes and a 'lab' with a hot but clueless pysch major does not make it good. It is near fraud to charge for this class,until the major kinks are worked out. Also, 6+ mods/test = way too many.

His expectations are fairly clear, but he could cover more material in his classes.

I really enjoyed going to that class although the daily discussion about the new technology almost drove me nuts. "Bill" is a great teacher who tell funny stories and is great in imitating characters - wait until he tells you about schizophrenia...

He was the funniest teacher and the most informative I've ever had in my life.

Willams is a hilarious teacher and really helps students to understand the material. Psyc is fascinating anyway, but his lectures really bring it out. R2R format makes it really easy to get a good grade -- most quizzes taken from the home, if you see what I mean

He is makes things fun. He is extremely smart and knows what he is talking about. He does go off on tangents but there is no reason for you not to pass his classes if you just come to class:D He makes it fun and doesn't put you down.

He was very funny and entertaining during class. He also does not make class extremely difficult either.

Class was easy, but we're not in Middle School anymore. Expect more from the students and they will give you more. Treating them like incompetent, irresponsible children makes them behave like incompetent irresponsible children!

Available always!

good prof, canbe funny

Easy class. If you can't get an A, drop out now. His lectures are not pointless, they are very applicable if you have a small bit of critical thinking skills. Do you really need the points spoon-fed to you? Tests are easy as 90%+ are from the quizes and you can take them many times. Read the book+take lots of quizes+look up what you miss = easy A.

Extremely easy 4.0. Just study a little and take tons of quizzes. One word of caution: Don't sneeze or even breathe hard in the tests, it takes little for them to think you are cheating and not much more to get accused. Stay stiff and keep your head down ,even if your head/neck starts to hurt. Other then that a fun and easy class to boost your GPA.

EASY class. Most lectures are very boring, but some are interesting. He usually came into class 5 minutes late and then took another 5 minutes to get set up. The technology confuses him a lot. Tests are easy and usually come from the online quizzes you take during the week. I slacked off and still got a 4.0. Easy class, easy teacher.

So funny

This class was pretty easy as long as you read the book. I thought he had a lot of interesting things to say about his experience in the psychology field. (Which was primarily what his lectures were about) Most of the test questions are from the online quizzes, so if you take them quite a few times and study those it is an easy A on the tests!

The class has a lot of busy work if you take it with seminar, but it's not hard. Just read the book, and you'll be fine. He is very funny (in a dorky sort of way) and his lectures are fun to listen to.

Wonderful instructor!Read each chapter at least once because he does not cover all of the material in class, although if you do, exams are easy. Also, take the online quizes a few times each because test question come straight out of the quizzes (literally). After taking class I was very interested in psychology and learned a lot. Funny instructor!

Best professor. Best Class.

He talks over people all the time, doesn't let you finish your comments or questions, and his test questions are worded very oddly. BUT, he is super interesting, funny, and if you study, make a strong effort, attend class, and do the reading, his classes will be cake.

He is a bit of a goof ball, but absolutely hilarious. Read the text, take the quizzes and you will be fine. He cuts you a lot of slack and gives a lot of opportunity to earn a good grade, which isn't that difficult to begin with. I would take him again.

This class was intriguing! You will look forward to attending every day because you're always learning and what you learn applies to daily life! He is a fun, easy teacher! You WILL see students falling asleep, but if you really pay attention you will get a lot out of that class and exams will be easy for you! Read, take quizzes, and GET POINTS!!!

Williams is an excellent professor. He is someone who can go off on 50 different tangents, tell you 5 stories, and still get the point of the lecture across. He is very matter of fact and a no nonsense type of guy, but he KNOWS HIS STUFF and it shows!

Funny guy, generally interesting lectures. I've heard his higher level classes are hard, but this one was easy! Just read the book and go to class and you'll be fine. I didn't really study for him and 4.0'd. I definitely recommend him for theories of personality, it really seems like a passion of his!

He is a pretty good teacher. i learned a lot from his class. We did a lot of lab which was fun and had a project which is an easy A. But it did take work. The only thing I didn't like in his class was his test/quiz. he gives you study guides which are sort of helpful. But you have to go over and beyond in order to pass the tests.

Great prof super nice gives lots of chances for extra credit! If you dont do well you have to be trying! He makes class interesting and is just a happy and fun guy. Also if you just have questions about psych no even related to the class he is happy to talk to you. Love the class and the prof if you can take his class!

He is very easy in the sense that he offers many chances to recieve extra credit. Make sure you show up to cliker days and once in awhile show up on tuesdays, other than that you do not really have to attend this class. If you need help on anything he will be more than willing to help you. Just read the chapters and you can get an easy A!

GREAT teacher. attendance is extra credit, and it adds up! hes done so much in the psych world, and research. he tells his stories but makes to go with the class so you understand. i love his class and will take him for all my psych classes!

This was a difficult course, but he made it very interesting. His lectures stem purely from what he's got stored in his head and his tests were verbatim of his lectures. However, he was very funny and made me want to listen to all his lectures intently!

Really interesting professor.

I am so surprised to see such negative reports in the previous comments! Bill is a great professor. His extensive experience in the field makes for some interesting and funny personal stories! He jokes around with the class, and is flexible with assignments and exams. I would definitely recommend taking a psychology course with Dr. Williams.

If you read the book you can easily get an A if you are whiling to put in an hour of reading a day . A lot of questions on the online quizzes are similar to those on the test. He is funny, and jokes around with the class. He gives you 5 bonus Q's on the tests, and actually wants students to receive a good grade. I think he is a great professor.

If you go to class and read the book, you should do pretty well. He seemed pretty nice and willing to clarify anything if you asked.

Very good teacher! Highly recommend!

The class is fairly easy. It's usually a huge lecture class so no attendance is taken. It's not necessary to go to class considering Professor Williams doesn't teach much. Just read the material in the book and you'll most likely get a 4.0. He is nice about extra credit stuff though which is always a plus!

He has definitely been my favorite professor so far. His lectures are always very interesting, he would keep my attention for the full three hours of class. Always tells a lot of good stories and he'll make you laugh. Loved his class. Read the textbook really well and go to class, he gives hints for tests each week.

Interesting class. Good Professor.

Very interesting professor. Kept my attention the entire time and always had relevant, entertaining stories to tell. As long as you do the online quizzes and skim through the chapter, 4.0 should be pretty easy. Offers lots of extra credit and really got me interested in Psych.

Dr. Williams is a very sweet older man. His teaching in class is not the very best for stats, but he tries. Reading the book is critical to success as is homework. A .3 to GPA is earned with perfect attendance. So go to class. Often drops total points off on tests to boost scores. Read your book, do your homework, go to class and you will be =D

Quickly responded to my emails and questions. His online lectures were VERY clear and I learned a lot in his class. This is not a 100-level class, so yes, you are expected to read and study. I would definitely take another class of his. Received 4.0.

If you actually read the book his class is easy and enjoyable. This is college your supposed to be reading the book and studying it, I've NEVER had a class that didn't require this. The quizzes and exams are super easy again just study the book. I got a 4.0 no problem studying this way. I also attend class every single day too.

WIlliams is a blast, I don't understand how people don't like him. He is hilarious and extremely nice. If you have any problems or are struggling he will immediately help and will do anything to help. He is one of the nicest and best professors I've ever had at EWU. I just wish more students respected him, he's awesome and had eons of experience.

I start my day off with his class and I love it. He arrives late sometimes but only a couple of minutes and most days he'll let us out 5-10 minutes early. All the information you need is in the textbook but his lectures go over some of the things in the textbook as well as generally interesting information. He's a funny old guy that I enjoy having.

Funny professor and laid back. I loved starting out my day with this class. Missing a few days of class wont hurt your grade too much because of extra credit. Lectures were funny and interesting. Just keep up with your quizzes, read and study. Easy 4.0.

Williams is very nice, well respected, and fair. He gives extra credit opportunities & fights hard for his students to do well in class. I have over 100 percent in class. There is not a final. He is hard to hear during lectures, so if you want to do really well I recommend reading, but it is not required. All in all if you try you'll do well!

He has many office hours for helping students and is quick at responding to emails. He also provides websites for additional help if you have a hard time understanding his way of explaining things. He gives ample opportunities for extra credit. He is clear about what will be on exams. If you don't do well in his class, then you aren't trying.

Great guy and good professor! He uses clickers to give points to people who come to class. His lectures will not cover all of the material for the chapter, so make sure to read it all. There are online quizes every Sunday and exams every two weeks, but if you read it is an easy A. Grades on a curve and gives tons of extra credit. Funny.

Honestly the easiest class. His lectures are pointless so nobody really listens. Just do your reading and show up to class when there are clicker questions. (They count towards your grade). The exams are pretty straight forward, the clicker questions are on there and information straight from the book. He dropped our lowest exam score, curved the clicker points, and took a plethora of extra credit. (Up to .3 grade raising.) If you put effort in then you can easily 4.0 this class. He's a nice and funny guy, not very strict.

Watch the lectures online and take notes. As long as you read the material and do the learn smarts for extra credit you should do great!

Very easy to work with and easy to understand.

he will never give you a tremendous amount of material per test. a lot of the time chapters will get taken off of the exams. Lectures are a little hard to pay attention to sometimes but they are real life situations of the current content. Lots of reading will need to be done. Very good over all though, not a tough class, easy B.

Ignore the "this class was horrible" comments. It's most likely not the instructor's fault. He is so nice. Responds to emails almost immediately. He knows what he's talking about and you have to understand that you will be in a class with more than 100 students. Read, make flashcards, do the homework. You'll pass with flying colors.

Funny old guy, he uses most of the class time telling stories related to the context. Study from the slides and you'll do well !

The professor is awesome but your grade all depends on the tests. So if you do bad on the tests nothing helps .

Oh, William Williams. Great professor. He gives a lot of examples, as well as a few extra credit opportunities throughout the quarter. Replies to emails very fast. My class had around 240 people. Really knows what he is talking about. Make sure to read, take notes and ask questions (even if it is only via email). Very helpful. 10/10

CSBS 320 is an introductory statistics class taken by (usually) the same students who take his psychology classes, so if you like his teaching style for one make sure you get him for both. Only graded assignments are exams, online homework (due day of exam), and clicker questions. Sweet guy. Would love to adopt him as my grandpa.

Williams is... interesting. He needs help with technology, especially pop-ups and his mic, and mumbles. If you're hard of hearing, sit up front. His class is backed up with an online component that is very structured, only buy the online book/access code, and the clicker remote. I didn't even touch the hard copy of the book.

So many disrespectful students, just because hes hard of hearing doesnt mean hes a bad professor. If you get of your high horse and realize you are in an into stat class you realize hes a really helpful professor with lots of experience.

Hes a good guy to listen to. He doesnt take himself too seriously, and thats nice

He is amazing teacher with lots of stories.

Dr. Williams is a quiet talker, but has interesting stories and good examples he uses to teach. The best way to hear him is to sit in the front of the class. He also is not very good with electronics, but it is completely understandable for his age and he keeps students updated on canvas. Show up to class to answer clicker questions, it matters.

Pretty good professor.

This professor was amazing and came to class every day and answered everyone's questions even though a lot of the classmates were rude to him and I believe his wife was in the hospital. He will retire soon but if you get a chance to take his class it's easy to learn in and he's a great guy. The grandpa of EWU! <3

He is a very fair Professor. If you go to his lectures and do the clicker questions you normally do well. He is a very funny person. He does take away questions on your exams sometimes so your grade will go up. You just have to take the notes and self study. He also sometimes forgets his mic or it is broken and you have to sit up close.

The lectures from his class were helpful, but a lot of times he went off-track with stories. I often used class time to get some reading in because it's very quiet and I could focus. Everything he went over was in the book. Homework was very helpful for the exams, as was the clicker reviews. Exams were all multiple choice and easy if you read.

I know he has poor ratings on here but I don't understand why; he was a really sweet man who enjoys teaching. It's hard to get everyone to like you with 100s of students in one room so take bad reviews with a grain of salt. He used clicker questions every day so beware of that. I mostly used class time to get ahead and read the textbook

His lectures cover the book practically word for word so most of the time I did space out in his class, but when I was paying attention he was pretty funny. He does like to talk about past experiences in his life being a psychologist but as long as you read the chapter and take notes the multiple-choice questions on exams shouldn't be a surprise.

He was very sweet and clearly cared for his students. As long as you pay attention to the slideshows/lectures you'll do good in his class. He was also very understanding.

I took the online course, which was fine, except there were a few questions on quizzes/tests that were worded wrong, so I missed them and confirmed with the text and lectures that my answers were correct. I didn't reach out to him about it because of anxiety, so that's on me. He uses lockdown browser and McGraw Hill built-in application.

I genuinely enjoyed this class and this professor. While he does use lockdown browser for tests and quizzes,

Don't expect to have a professor who engages with or interacts with his students. The course is very lecture and quiz heavy but everything in his class is structured clearly. If you pay attention in lectures, you will receive a great grade. It is very straight-forward work, there is no fluff for personal connection, just work- which I loved.

Really good class, with intriguing topics. Professor Williams is a very understanding professor; if you need more time with something, just make sure to communicate with him.
