Reviews of professor David Williams

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
if you can find literally any other philosophy class take it. I did not enjoy this class at all, it was hard to understand and even after working hard on assignments, the feedback is harsh. lectures are very hard to follow and incredibly boring

Clearly very knowledgeable and well-done lecture notes (though the lectures aren't too fun). Labs are tough and I agree they could run smoother, but they're somewhat complicated so I understand. Tests are pretty simple, usually one tough question but mostly straightforward. Lab practical was extremely easy, at least if you took MMAE 315 in-person.

He's a great professor. The class wasn't hard just show up to class and he will teach you the material and if you don't understand he finds a way to explain it t help you understand. He doesn't toy around with your grade and is really fair all across the board.

Really sweet guy during class. Funny, uses music to teach, but loves the sound of his own voice way too much. He always promises we're going to discuss and instead lectures. His grading criteria is unclear -- His comments on papers are really discouraging and don't match the grade. Overall, fine if it's your only option, but if you have another...

Great teacher!! Definitely recommend. Lectures are informative and hilarious.

He is a really cool guy, and I really did like the topics. He just grades wayyyy too hard and the assignments are clumped together oddly. Most of your grade comes down to the 10ish page midterm and final :/. They're broken up into prompts and imo they should be separate assignments.

Very cynical but funny. You'll learn a lot of random stuff and some course material. Super chill guy, take it if you need an easy class.

Professor Williams clearly doesn't care about his students. His lectures are read soullessly off slides and all his labs are slapdash and horribly ran. You can always expect him to take the laziest possible route with his students. On tests, he provides a useless equation sheet and requires you to memorize all the useful equations anyways. He sucks
