BME 603
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
He taught a wonderful neuroengineering seminar. Learned a ton about the field, and the class was not work heavy at all. There is a big project toward the end of the semester, so be prepared for that, but it was a lot of fun, and he is a kind grader. He's also always happy to answer questions and discuss concepts.

Dr. Williams assisted in my lab and he was very nice and provided good feedback. Would definitely take his class again.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Demanding class conceptually, but he also makes it interesting and fun to learn with various mini-labs and group discussions. Grading is fair. If you attend class and listen to what he tells you to study, you will not have a problem getting a good grade. Lecture slides are almost all pictures, so you will be lost if you skip class. No textbook!!
