Comment:
He had a joyfulness that radiated across the whole room. I was lucky enough to have the class in person. He is genuinely excited to help kids learn. It is cal II tho, so it won't be easy, but you will have the best support you can ask for. Very responsive on emails and very understanding.

This professor is very passionate and extremely helpful. He wants his students to learn and succeed. Do the work, show up, and pay attention and you will do well. Good choice for Calculus II - a not so easy class.

Comment:
Profesor Williams is not a very good teacher. He gives no extra credit when almost every other teacher does. He gives no test review which makes studying for tests very difficult. He gave way more homework than every other teacher. He gave way harder tests than other teachers when comparing tests to my friends. OVERALL AVOID.

Professor Williams is a great teacher but just be ready for all the work. Buy the textbook from the year before to save yourself some money. Lectures are long but he keeps them interesting. HW is on webwork. Although my friends with other teachers said their tests were easier I feel like I genuinely understood the subject better than they did.

Professor Williams is very nice and you can tell he cares. Very willing to help and respond to emails if needed. There was online and book hw. The online was different than test questions but still helped overall. Book hw and review powerpoints were very similar to the test. Still a hard class, be willing to put in work and study with friends

IF YOU WANT TO DO WELL ON YOUR MATHEMATICS COURSE, AVOID HIM. LOTS OF HOMEWORK AND NOT A CLEAR LECTURE SINGLE DAY. GIVES YOU A TEST REVIEW, WHICH TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM YOUR TEST. TAKE HIM, IF YOU WANT TO STRUGGLE. OTHERWISE, YOU WILL REGRET.

Dr. Williams was an amazing Professor this semester. People who say they did bad is because they didnt try. Before this class I was awful at calculus 1. Cal 2 with Dr. Williams was great. He has a lot of homework but the problems he gives you are almost the same as on the tests. He has 3 tests, homework, and a final. Definitely take his class.

AVOID. JUST AVOID. Take him though if you're better at learning yourself than through him. He teaches everything through PowerPoint, giving very common classroom examples, but the homework and testing were often difficult. Often, he makes you work through his lectures given on slides. Homework Online and PHYSICAL work is expected to be submitted.

Took his online calc 2 class in the summer! His lecture videos are awesome. He gives HW on Webwork, but also gives out worksheets for each unit chapter that you need to do & scan to blackboard. The worksheets and lecture videos really prepared me for the exams! If you email him, he is always there to answer your question concisely! A real gem!!

Clear and concise. There is a lot of work, but I felt that I understood Calc 2 better than my peers in a normal class. Videos were awesome.

His lecture content is very good and thorough. Doing the physical and WeBWorK homework should prepare you properly for the exams. He is a real gem when it comes to online professors at Tech and his course is truly exceptional. There is no "self-lecturing" in his course unlike how other professors at Tech describe their online courses.

One of the nicest guys I've ever met. He cares so much about the class and his students. He can explain things incredibly well and made everything easy to understand. If you have the chance, take his class!! He keeps it interesting with jokes and stories. His class always made my day and I understand calculus so much better now.

I won't take any classes from him ever again! I fell asleep in every class because I can't really hear what he talked about. He gave very easy examples in class, but the homework and the tests were much harder. I had to study by myself for the whole semester.

SET TAKING THIS PROFESSOR AS HIGH PRIORITY!! He made what is supposedly the hardest calculus very easy to understand. He also makes the tests and makes them fair. He makes the final exams also so I highly suggest taking him. He's very fun to listen to in class too. He's goofy and always jokes around with the class. He's the greatest.

Awesome professor! He's insanely helpful and understands exactly what you're going through as an undergrad and is willing to help you in anyway, in and out of the classroom. He's like a little kid at heart, which makes class interesting. Tests are easy if you pay attention, it's exactly like the homework.

Dr. Brock Williams isn't just an outstanding professor but a well respected citizen in the game of life. The vision of Texas Tech to somehow acquire this national treasure. It was 300 years ago that Mozart ushered in the age of Romanticism with symphony 25 in B flat....when I think of Brock Williams...I think of Mozart. This guy has got it all.
