Prof. Williams is super helpful and always available to answer questions about experiments.PHYS5318 2014-09-07 01:05:37 +0000 UTC
I've never like physics and still don't, but his class was tolerable in my standards. Was my toughest class for the fall, but I got a good grade in the end. Labs were HORRIBLE. Overall, he taught the material well and clarified points the class was confused on. To the pharmacy students, choose him for PHY149 if you get the option.PHY149 2007-03-11 23:55:03 +0000 UTC
He is a very straight-foward teacher. He shows you what kind of problems are to be expected on assessments. It's a very easy class. But attendence is generally kept track of. He is pretty awkard. You don't really have to listen most of the time as long as you follow along with the problems. Sometimes you're better off not listening as he is confusPHYU149 2006-01-10 17:38:36 +0000 UTC
Caters only to students that are audio-style learners, hard to take notes from, kind of boring and hard to pay attention toPHYU151 2005-04-29 20:15:50 +0000 UTC

Lectures are ridiculously confusing, chooses poor example to illustrate his points. Mediocre. Some students like Williams, I think he's terrible. Israeloff guest lectured a few times when Williams was away on conferrence and seemed to make more sense than Williams did. Hard class, very hard.PHY151 2005-03-31 01:07:49 +0000 UTC
The Course was introduced last year. But it was very well conducted by two Professors. The labs were interesting and we learned a lot from this course. Prof. Willams was very well organized with his experiments. (Althouthg the othe Prof was not very well organized).PHYG318 2004-11-18 17:01:53 +0000 UTC
Had him for Pharm 4 Physics... He was a good teacher, even if I didnt like the class. He tried to teach for the quizzes and tests and that was really good. Best part of the class was the fact that everything was spread out and so no one thing could hurt you too much. Do the problems before class and always show up and you'll be fine. WORST LAB EVERPHY149 2007-01-03 22:47:04 +0000 UTC
