Reviews of professor Williams Daniel James

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Williams is a nice guy, however I did not do well. His teaching style just did not help me learn. He taught the material and we did worksheets in groups, and it just did not stick with me at all for the exams. Much more definition memorization than I expected as well. If worksheets help you, then his class is great, just not for me.

Pretty good professor overall, however, he is very unforgiving with late assignments even if you have a legitimate excuse. He really makes you learn the material with a lot of homework/ bell ringers/ chapter outlines. Definitely not a bad option but the course project at the end took me like 12+ hours which blew.

Hes a really great teacher, one of the best I have had. He isnt a tough grader. His test are easy if you put in a little effort. He grades attendance but if you miss a couple classes it barely effects your grade. Its literally like decimal points. He puts outlines on blackboard and goes through the problems step by step on PowerPoint.

I would take Professor Williams if you want a very organized teacher. I personally loved the way his class was organized and it definitely helped me stay organized throughout the semester. RETL261 is just a very fast-paced class in general. He gives bell ringers at the end of class on the lecture so make sure you pay attention since its a grade.

Currently taking RETL 261 half-semester class hated every minute. Uses YouTube videos to teach and fill-in-the-blank wrksht and Excel. NO extra credit at all. Course Project due at the end of the semester. 15 questions - AWFUL. Questions have 20-37 parts. McGraw-Hill is used for homework tests (lockdown). -0/10. I am warning you. My hardest class.

If you skip class, you will be hurt in the long run, his attendance policy is MANDATORY, like skip a class you lose points. His lectures are dry and it is easy to get lost. Often rambles on about stuff that doesn't have anything to do with the lecture.

Going to his office hours really saved my grade. Really cool guy who helps you understand the material if you ask for help. Use all the attempts on hw you get. Cookie project at the end of semester was the only thing I dreaded about the class. Usually assignment due each class. Exams aren't too hard if you review hw and quizzes before.
