If you are willing to put in the work she is willing to work with you. Just like every other Professor (for the most part) you have to be willing to communicate. She is very sweet, and will help guide you so you can do your best work.

Comment:
For a communication professor she is really bad at communicating. She is also very slow at responding to emails and keeping her class updated. She also put me in an awful group for small group communication and that hurt my grade a lot. She does not understand simple questions. I am a good student and I don't recommend her at all.

Comment:
Where do I begin? Dr. Williams only lectured twice throughout the whole semester! Each group basically taught themselves the material and final paper we wrote on the last four chapters she didnt even teach us! She was very disorganized and unclear when she gave out assignments. Lastly, she only talked to students when they approached her.

Comment:
The one thing that upsets me about this teachers is her lack of compassion for the course. She acts like she loves speech; However, if she did then there wouldn't be as many complaints. I asked her for help on a major speech assignment and she helped me, gave me feedback, I followed through. She gave me a C on HER own suggestions.

Extremely disorganized, late to every class, not clear about expectations, gave two large projects at the same time due within days of each other! Hardest general ed class.

Very clear about what is to be done, inspiring, responsive and helpful, understanding. Good class. I hate speaking in public but it was fun and she's very supportive.

Comment:
Take my advice, just avoid taking her class. She is unclear, her class is unorganized, and she can be blatantly unfair to her students. Just take someone else! Whenever someone asks a question, all she says is, "look in the syllabus". She never addresses the question and just tells the student to read the syllabus. This class is a waste of time.

Very tough grader, however, doesn't give you a whole lot of feedback as to what you did wrong. She gives you dirty looks while you're giving your speech. She doesn't explain or teach you how to give a speech, she just expects you to do it perfectly. I have never worked so hard in a class and only received a C. Worst professor I've had yet.

I was worried when I read the reviews of Professor Williams on here but I found her to be respectful and polite when I took her Comm 1 class. She went out of her way to help me when I started falling behind in the class and was very kind to me. I was only able to pass with her help and highly recommend her!

She was generally nice but gave means looks all the time. This was a Communications class yet, she had a hard time "communicating" and whenever you'd ask her a question she'd tell you to look at the syllabus instead of answering the question. Also, she demands a perfect outline and speech but won't give feedback on what you did wrong.

Don't take her! She had no real structure planned for each class. She had us read a text book and do group projects, but there was no correlation between our reading (which we had a huge final on) and what we actually talked about in class. Very unorganized and somewhat condescending. She marked me down for calling her Professor instead of Doctor.

Comment:
On almost every speech given, she would be giving the speaker the meanest looks. She made the class give feedback to the students speaking on the last speech given and marked YOU down points if you graded another student "too well". If you asked her any questions, she treats you like you're stupid. Tests were on material that was never talked about

Class was pretty easy. It's a bit harder if you have a REALLY hard time with public speaking. I was surprised to see all of the bad reviews here! She was always willing to help, if you asked for it. She offered a little extra credit. If I had prepared for my speeches a little bit better, I could have easily gotten an A. I would take her again!

Comment:
I never got feedback that would make me a better speaker, and I was left feeling like I did the same thing over, and over, instead of feeling like I was learning and improving. Test pull out random sentences from the book instead of looking for an overall understanding of material. She is NOT open to students coming to her for help or feedback

Comment:
If you're lucky and have a good group to work with, this class should be easy. If you have a bad group, drop the class. Class can have repetitive and very general content, which makes the subject boring. Doesn't give much feedback on presentations, but will give feedback on individual assignments. Generally, an OK professor.

Comment:
This teacher grades way to hard and has no common respect to any of her students. She walks into class at least 5 minutes late, and looks at us as if we should be waiting for her. A lot of group presentations, 2 assignments of going out to a group meeting and writing a paper on it, a lot of busy work. I wouldn't recommend.
