Reviews of professor Carl Williamson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
BOLD2010 is a breeze with him. He basically just gives you busy work the whole semester and then you study a decent amount for the exams. You're supposed to read around 30 chapters a week, but I don't know anyone who actually did and everyone just looked up summaries or skimmed through the Bible. Centers based learning in 2030 I've heard is not fun

A genuinely good person, who teaches about important things, you will learn a lot but more importantly try to get to know him.

I took his Wisdom and Prophets class and it was fine. You must pay for a $10 booklet where you will take all of your assigned notes and then turn those notes in for a grade. Most of the other assignments are just busy work. The only thing I hated about this class was that the final required you to memorize lots of stuff and then recite it to him.

paid Harding for our notebooks and only costed us $10 rather than the $50 that Harding would have asked for. All his lectures are amazing but be prepared to have homework every day of lecture and every sunday. The homework is not hard, it is mostly busy work and a lot of the "homework" he asks for is over the lecture notes from that day.

He is very unclear&confusing when communicating expectations for assignments. His tests are ridiculous and are designed quite poorly. Several test questions will be about a random minute fact that he briefly mentioned in class. His lectures are basically church sermons. You will only be counted as present if you arrive early

Carl is new to teaching and honestly, hes horrible at it. Ive never respected a professor less. Hes terrible at communicating expectations and though his lectures are long-winded sermons, he tests on details he never emphasized. He expects too much out of students with his sub-par teaching. He can be rude when his bad methods are questioned.

He is a really caring teacher and if you do the weekly assignments you will get an A in the class. The test are quite hard but if you turn in the weekly assignments, it's pretty much an automatic A. So the busy work seems like a lot but definitely makes for an easy A in the class. If you don't get an A in this class you are simply a lazy student.

Tests are Impossible. Students are responsible for crazy amounts of information. He is definitely new to teaching. He hasn't offered any extra credit opportunities yet. No electronics in class, or enjoyment.

Dr. Williamson is phenomenal. He truly cares about his students and just wants to see us succeed. Yes, he expects us to get a lot of work done, but it is doable. If you put in the effort an A is attainable. Take him!! I learned so much in his class and he is so kind and he's so passionate about what he teaches.
