Prof. Williams' EE101 is challenging but rewarding. His lectures are well prepared and he (naturally) speaks perfect English. There are weekly homework assignments that reflect the material in lecture nicely. His tests and quiz are probably easier than the homework assignments. Prof. Williams is the type who doesn't hand out answers, and would prefer to walk you through a problem instead. I really have no complaints for this class whatsoever.

clear and organized lectures.
Midterm was similar to hw, final was very similar to the type of questions in practice final he posted online.

If you want an easy A in 101, take Ozcan. If you really want to learn a lot about E&M, take Williams. Williams is probably the best professor I've had here at UCLA. Like the previous person said, he does come across as a little serious, but he is definitely the most articulate and concise lecturer I have known. His pacing is good, his explanations are excellent, his homework is challenging (but in a good way), and his tests are fair. To me, they felt comparatively easy given how well prepared I felt from homework and lectures. He was also a fairly generous grader (though not as generous as Ozcan). I would highly recommend Williams for 101!

Ben Williams is a great guy; I took EE 2 with him this quarter because he was teaching it (I took 101 with him last quarter). I love how he goes slowly during lecture so you have some time to process what he is teaching. He always answers your questions, and he knows what he's talking about. He always prepares lectures and posts them online afterwards.

Professor Williams is definitely THE PROFESSOR that you should take EE101 with. At first he seems a little serious, but later on you can tell that he is a pretty easy going person. Furthermore, he always ask students if they have any questions, on top of that, he also seems very passionate about answering some of those questions. Overall the course is thoroughly taught and his lecture notes are also well organized.

This class is hard but you do learn a lot. Williams knows his stuff forwards and backwards...I swear this dude dreams E&M, and he can answer almost any question people come up with with literally 0 hand waving. He is incredibly clear (although a bit stern) and runs a tight, manageable class. If you are an EE looking to learn about EM, take this class. If you are looking for an easy tech breadth class, do not take this.

Just writing his notes, plus too many words instead of equations. Could have just printed out the stuff before the class and explain it in details during the class.

Professor Williams is a great lecturer who gives lots of good intuition and examples for pretty difficult subjects. I would definitely recommend taking him for 2H, because I think it really gives you a strong basis for all of semiconductor classes. Don't be scared off by the honors part, it's really not that much more work than a normal class and the grading is actually more generous.

Professor Williams is one of the clearest lecturers I've encountered so far in the ECE department. His lectures are pretty well structured and could give students a good perspective of how semiconductors work. However, I found the materials to be a little bit dry since I personally did not find semiconductors to be an interesting subject. Aside from that, simply judging this class by the effectiveness of the professor's teaching, I would say this class contains extremely important knowledge, and could be a fun experience for some students. This class consisted of four quizzes and a final paper (no final exam nor midterms) for my quarter due to Covid, which may seem like more work than typical quarters. However, the grading scheme is pretty generous, and as long as students put in the work, getting a good grade wouldn't be an issue.

Prof Williams is a pretty good lecturer and explains concepts really well for an intro class. Instead of a midterm and final, we had ~weekly homework (7 total, dropping lowest score), 4 quizzes (every 2 weeks) and a final paper. The quizzes were hard, but his overall grading is pretty lenient. I got a 50% on one of my quizzes when the average was a 90 and still ended up with an A-. The final paper had you write 2 pages about any topic relating to the class. Would recommend
