Reviews of professor Lucy Williams

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I have never been interested in Poli Sci and took 201 for a GE requirement, but it became one of my favorite classes. Prof. Williams requires a lot of reading, but she knows her stuff extremely well, asks good questions, and the lectures are very intriguing if you participate. Only graded assignments are quizzes, 2 papers, and a midterm and final.

The class was extremely difficult, but doable with enough studying.

Dr. Williams is a great teacher, but this is a hard class. Theres lots of readings and every few weeks there will be a random pop quiz that counts for attendance. The lectures are so so, not too boring. The real problem is the TAs, they grade way too harshly. See them each time you write a paper and attend all reviews and youll be fine

Now that I've taken POLI 202 from a different professor, I realize how great Dr. Williams is. The material is confusing, and there is a LOT of it. But she breaks it down so that it is easy to understand, and even interesting. The papers are the hardest component of the class, but exams were doable if you know your stuff. Practice questions are key
