Well, if you're looking hear you might not want to hear this but calculus III kinda sucks. The material starts off pretty easy and the first 2 midterms you should aim to get high scores on to even out the other ones. About halfway through the class I found the material got harder and I was getting 70s on midterms 3 and 4 instead of 80s. The midterms are worth 50% total and the final is worth 25%. The rest of the grade is 8% quizzes, take home over the weekend due Monday night, 2% participation (showing up on Zoom?), 13% online work on webasinine which you should aim to get close to 100% on but some problems are quite tedious and don't have the "watch now" feature, and 2% groupwork (worksheets you do by yourself).
Overall, I'd say the class was ok but nothing to get excited about unless you're a math major. Professor Williams was fine, class consisted of him sending out youtube videos to watch the day before class and which chapter to read, which was actually pretty helpful, and then during our 50 minute zoom he would spend about 30 minutes talking about the schedule and giving a quick explanation of the content. I honestly signed up for another professor who must have decided not to teach this semester so I got the ol switcharoo pulled on me but it ended up being ok.
There was talk of the class being curved to a B-, but the class average must have been close to that or higher since my B+ in the class did not get curved up to an A-.
If you go to class you'll be fine. He is overall a really nice guy and a decent professor. The material he covers in class is often pretty similar to what is on the tests. I made the mistake of skipping quite a few of his classes and instead going over the online slides which I later found out to be much worse than going in person (it was a morning class, I am not a morning person). The homework is like previous calculus classes: worksheets, webassigns, and a couple longer homework assignments. Managed to get an A despite my bad habits so if you keep good habits throughout the semester you'll be fine.
