He really cared about how the students did in the class and wanted everyone to succeed. The exams are a bit tough, but he provides all the material you need to know in lecture.

Recommended readings tend to show up for essays on the exams, and he provides a detailed study guide for each of the three exams which are very helpful. Overall, a fantastic professor.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/383852","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 15:59:20.917506+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTIzOTUwMzUy","source_instructor_id":"rmp:383852","instructor_name":"William Aylward","course_label":"CLASSICS300","course_id":"ARTHIST/CLASSICS 300","course_uid":"course_42db27cc34684b51a31a4a06","review_date":"2014-12-04 16:47:15 +0000 UTC","comment":"Dr. Aylward is a witty, passionate professor. He makes every lecture interesting and presents the material from the textbook in a power point presentation. There are 3 exams, including the final. On the exams, you are tested on information about the images he presents in class and about general topics that are discussed in the textbook.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/383852","quality_rating":3.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 15:59:20.917506+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTExODQyNzQ4","source_instructor_id":"rmp:383852","instructor_name":"William Aylward","course_label":"CLASSICS300","course_id":"ARTHIST/CLASSICS 300","course_uid":"course_42db27cc34684b51a31a4a06","review_date":"2006-05-08 03:59:20 +0000 UTC","comment":"I really liked this class. He does lecture straight from the book, so missing class is not a big deal. He's very excited about the subject material, which he definitely demonstrates.

He loves his work and you can tell. He makes little jokes about the material that you will talk about the rest of your time at UW.
