Reviews of professor Philip Williams

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This was one of my favorite classes of undergrad! Prof Williams created a safe and enjoyable space for growth (which is tough to do with the intimidating topic of public speaking) while still maintaining a high standard. The workload and expectations were in no way excessive. He is extraordinarily personable and supports student's individual goals.

Professor Williams is by far one of my favorite professors. His passion for effective communication is evident in both his teaching style and knowledge. I appreciated how he engaged the class by breaking us into smaller groups to discuss aspects of the reading and apply it in practical ways. He is also very personable, kind, and respectful.

I hated this class to say the least. Williams graded things extremely hard for the class to be an introductory to the subject and for it to be a summer class. I would not recommend someone to take this course unless you have a bunch of time to study for discussion posts and quizzes.

I really enjoyed his class. He cares about the subject and makes class fun. Definitely do the readings before class, he really likes pop quizzes.

He is amazing at lecturing! It really boils to having an interactive class. Beware of the pop quiz and sims.

Excellent professor. Switched from on campus to online within a week after Covid hit. Always quick answering questions and very understanding. Would take again in a heartbeat.

Prof Williams is absolutely incredible! Even though this course was more of an independent study, he made sure to always be available to talk and give us guidance. He gave extremely detailed editing feedback on our thesis paper drafts to help us get an excellent final grade. He is passionate about helping us dream big and strive toward our goals.

I had the chance to be in 2 classes with Prof. Williams and I have enjoyed both! He genuinely cares and gives effort to help us succeed and I have learned a lot. I first was in Public Speaking with him and I wasnt looking forward to it being introverted, but it ended up as one of my favorites! He makes every class interesting and memorable.
