Reviews of professor Gwendolyn Williams

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She really doesn't care about her students, and it shows. Condescending and rude, and her homework is on topics she barely/did not explain in class. Do not take her classes.

Worst professor I've ever had. She is rude, and she thinks she is too good for her job. You can tell she doesn't like college students and is reluctant to answer questions or emails kindly. Don't expect her to explain anything you don't understand. She constantly contradicts the textbook but also teaches straight out of it. Incredibly confusing.

Somehow made 207 harder than 205. Lectures weren't bad in themselves but exam questions and worksheets seemed to have no connection to them. Simply did not respond to my emails. Not good at explaining things when she's asked a question. Seems kinda judgy.

This professor is eh. I changed my rating to 2 to be fairer because she does give some extra credit and reviews, but get ready to teach yourself. Her lectures are a lil boring and she expects everyone to know right off the bat what to do. She has lots of hw which will help you prepare for the tests, but they're difficult too. Good luck with this...

She never seemed like she wanted to be in class. I think if we all dropped dead in the middle of lecture, she wouldn't change the way she was teaching. Consistently bad at explaining the concepts and PowerPoints weren't very helpful. She assumes we all have an advanced understanding of genetics. Significantly more content than other sections.

Professor Williams is outright condescending and rude to students. She expects you to be experts on each lecture topics and her slides posted on moodle rarely contain any of the information that you are supposed to know. She also grades very harshly. Do not take her. All other genetics professors let their students have cheat sheets on exams...

I had her for Bio 205 Lab at Bucknell. So unwilling to help her students with lab reports. Doesn't care about the success of her students. Instead she stresses out about grading things, although she never returns any graded work, so you can't learn from your mistakes. This being said, unclear grading guidelines.
