Reviews of professor Karen Williams

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Absolute sweetheart! Is definitely lecture and essay heavy but you learn so much and her passion for her subject is apparent. Is definitely a tough grader on essays, but put in the effort and be communicative and you'll do just fine.

Easy grader, fun lectures. She knows a lot about television. Like A LOT. Very knowledgable and a fun prof. When the class went online, it became more work but nothing unmanagable.

She's really sweet! Presentations are always made available online, grading criteria is clear, she's super understanding about circumstances. Can be a little scatterbrained when it comes to grading stuff in a timely manner but the feedback was useful. A group presentation and an individual and two papers wasn't bad at all. Would take again.

I had P. Williams for the social science core class and she made the class super easy. There were a couple of short essays to write which were not graded harshly and she told us exactly what was going to be on the midterm and final. At times her lectures could be boring, but she always showed video clips that were fun! Attendance is mandatory.

Participation is key. If you don't feel comfortable talking in class, you will not pass. She really makes you work for your grade. If the class doesn't come ready to discuss, she won't lecture. Most of the learning is done from the reading homework, and then discussed in class. There were a lot of quizzes that came straight from the reading.

Loved her as an online instructor. She's very much engaged with you throughout this Research Class as she will review it accordingly. Would love to take her again :) Been a pleasure having her as a Research instructor.

Professor Williams is very sweet and considerate of her students, deadlines basically don't exist in this class. However, the papers are super tedious and time-consuming, not to mention graded a little harshly. If you really love film & television, then take this class!! But if you are just taking it for an EP3 and want something easier, maybe not.

Although the lecture material is extremely boring, this class is an easy A. Show up, do whatever on your computer, and around 3 hours later, you're done with the class. Your entire grade essentially boils down to 3 papers and two presentations. If you are okay being bored for 3 hours but want an easy A for EP3, then this is the class for you.

Prof. Williams is one of the sweetest people I've ever met! She is very understanding and includes very interesting things in the syllabus. She wants what is best for her students and is always available for extra help. Her class is a decent amount of work, but it is worth it because the content is enriching and you will learn a lot.
