Reviews of professor Porter Williams

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Friendly and available Professor who talks about Quantum Mechanics (QM) more clearly than USC's physics department. Lecture notes reviewing physics fundamentals and class concepts are incredibly helpful. Selected readings are engaging, and they effectively introduce Philosophy of QM literature. Papers are challenging but enjoyable. Highly recommend

Read the papers and lecture slides, you will pass easily. Attend the discussions, you will succeed.

Don't need textbook or to read the (many readings), as Porter effectively covers everything in lecture. Grade is basically dependent on midterm and final, where your grade honestly depends on your luck with the TA. I got a TA who forgot this was a GE class. Overall, lecture can be dry, but concepts are cool and Porter is a fun professor.

Williams' lectures can be boring at times, but he is detailed and thorough in his explanations. Attendance is not mandatory, and basically everything you need to know is on his slides. 40% of the grade is easy short assignments that are impossible not to get 100% on. 2 essays, I found the grading to be quite lenient.
