Reviews of professor Lawrence Williams

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof Williams is one of the most caring lecturers. His lectures are organized, he is funny and is truly passionate about what he is teaching. You will need to pay attention in lectures, slides are posted before class, and he is VERY accessible. He is very FAIR and even let us pick the format of the final exam. Not a bird course, but not difficult.

He is a great prof who really enjoys what he is doing and I would love to take another class with him later on. Also he makes great YouTube videos.

This course is lecture heavy, but totally worth it. Learned so much about deviance! He expects a lot from students (dense lectures, long essay and tests), but was always available to help. He clarified many concepts for me during the class break, and never made me feel like I was intruding. 100% recommend.

Easily one of the best profs you will ever meet. The online textbook allows you to do interactive quizzes & the prof does a Kahoot session with prizes for exam preps. He makes learning very fun and enjoyable. He's also encouraging & very open - provides sociological examples from his personal life events, which is inspiring for students to hear.

He is an amazing professor!! He tries to make sure everyone has the same opportunities by doing everything he can to ensure you get a good grade and you understand what you're doing. He tries to "be hip" so prepare for some lame jokes that have good intentions. Assignments are straightforward, lectures based off of textbook.

Avoid taking this prof. He expects a lot for it being a lower level course. He does not have multiple choice on his tests and all questions require you to answer in short answer or essay form. Readings are super long and hard to understand specially without a proper text book. Take other sociology courses if you don't want that D/F.

Very approachable and super interesting! Never thought I'd like stats so much, but Lawrence made it really engaging. I love the elaboration model! :)

Have him for sociology. Amazing teachers, talk a bit too fast lol. Instructions for assignments are well clear. His lectures are depended on textbook. So no need to go to lecture if you end up reading the textbook.

I did expect a lot from this Intro to Socio class, but he just made it way too complicated. His slides can explain more clearly than his lecture and the weekly quizzes are just way too much. The TAs could do a better job in making explanations. He seems nice if you want to talk to him but he really does have to make connections between materials.

Professor Lawrence is one of the best teachers I have had in undergrad. He teaches the material well and is actually really fun. He is very friendly and professional. Always thankful for him
