Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Very good and cool professor, would absolutely take it again. Lectures included real-world applications of the theory, which made it especially interesting, and the class was relatively easy with a massive curve. 10/10 Noah Williams is the GOAT.

He does go fast in class but if you study well getting a good grade isn't difficult. He's quite an easy grader and will work with you in office hours.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 4/5
Hard class that moves quickly, but covers a lot of material. Class can go fast but Williams is good about answering questions office hours.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
Clearly very intelligent and extremely well organized. I feel most students would benefit if he spent more time explaining, however this class is obviously intended for high caliber students, and apparent in the way he teaches.
