Western Kentucky University / W / Kevin M. Williams

This was a pretty difficult class, but only because of the subject. Most people hear the title, biochemistry, and then run. Dr. Williams is such a great teacher. He talks a little fast, but as long as you write all the notes down then you can easily teach yourself the parts that you may have missed in class. Our class was 5 tests (100 pts) and a homework grade (50 pts). He really cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. Take Dr. Williams if you get a chance, you wont regret it.

I LOVED this class...It was my favorite class all semester. Dr. Williams is an amazing teacher. All the homework assignments are on blackboard, and you can redo them as many times as you need to to get the grade you want/need. He gives you 12 homework assignments, and only counts your best 10 as a grade. There are 4 tests plus a final. I've only taken the first 3 tests so far, but they have been SUPER easy. I made an A on two and a B on the other. He gives notes everyday, and even though class attendance isn't mandatory, it really helps to go. I don't spend any time outside of class studying and I have an A. So, as long as you do the homework until you pass (80%), you'll do fine in this class.

It was my own laziness that got me a B in this class. Williams is awesome, he was always willing to help if I had any questions or had to miss class for something. There's tons of simple ten-question homework sets on blackboard to help bring your grade up. He makes everything really easy to understand and I was well prepared for Chem 120.

This class is really easy and moves at a really slow pace. Its a great class to take if you need a science and an easy grade.

Dr. Williams is the greatest Chemistry ever. I really wish he would teach 120. He adds up the points 2 different ways and uses the one that benefits you. He drops the 2 lowest homework grades which you can repeat on blackboard as many times as you need and you only need an 8/10 to get full credit for the homeworks. He also drops the lowest quiz grade. His class is easy and educating.

Dr. Williams is very easy to get along with and also is readily available to help you in his office if you are confused about lecture material. He works really hard to make sure that his tests are fair. He also presents different styles of teaching or ways to think about things, since most people don't learn the same way. The only grades in the class are 4 exams, but you can drop the lowest as long as you count the final for double. He is very fair and tries really hard.

Dr Williams is great!!! I had never had chemistry before, and I passed this class with a high A. I did not spend a lot of time outside of class working. There are several homework assignments but they are on blackboard and you can do them over and over again, until you get it right. 4 quiz and 4 test are a bit harder then the homework, but there is always an easy bonus question on the test. Mostly a math based course, but he was a math minor and so he breaks it down really good. If you try, you will get an A. He goes over everything very clear with good notes. You could probably get by without the book his notes are that good. No hw from the book. I would take him again for any class.

Williams goes pretty slow and explains things thoroughly. He'll always answer questions if you need him to. You have graded homework fairly often, but it probably helps your grade in the end. You are allowed to drop 2 homeworks. You have 4 tests and a final. The tests are a bit more difficult than the homework, so you may want to spend a little more time on them. He has three different ways he can divide up your points for you grade, so you can choose the one that benefits you most.

Dr. Williams is a new professor this year. For his first semester at WKU he has done a good job. He is very willing to help his students, sometimes to a fault. If you study you will do well in this class. His teaching style is effective also.

Dr. Williams is a great teacher! I had him the first year he was at WKU and his notes needed a little more structure but by the end of the semester, the notes were very clear. The test material comes directly from the notes and it is very possible to make an A with studying
