Terrible teacher but nice guy. This class was designed for people who are bad at math and some how he made it so hard that his home work and Extra credit would stump the tudors. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Comment:

This math course is supposed to be the easiest math available for credits, but Woods made it so difficult. Doesn't teach material well, tests did not coincide with hw and classwork, tests way too difficult, and assigns too much hw for a non-attendance class. Had a really hard time in his class, should have dropped it. I don't recommend his class.

I don't know what kind of crack everyone else has been smokin, but he was a wonderful professor. The work/tests/final are easy, attendance is not mandatory, and if you need help he is more than willing. Fairly effortless class and great professor.

WORST CLASS EVER! All we have is tests and homework isn't worth a lot. Attendance isn't mandatory (he doesn't know our names),the class moves EXTREMELY fast. He does mean well but I would never take a class with him if I had the choice

Not a good teacher. He tries and he means well, but nothing gets across. I pretty much taught myself the entire class.

Comment:

It's supposed to be an easy math class and he made it extremely difficult. He doesn't explain anything and you literally need to teach yourself with the textbook. He gives extra credit...even though it's close to impossible. He's not a real math teacher so I probably wouldn't recommend this class unless you know you can teach yourself every unit.

You pretty much teach yourself in this class because he just gets angry at you when you ask questions. The Hw takes forever and most of the problems are nothing like the tests. Avoid him if you can!!!!

Comment:

He is a horrible teacher and you should avoid him if at all possible. Really doesn't know what he is teaching and gets mad when you ask questions. The tests are open book/notes but it really doesn't help and he gives impossible homework assignments that have nothing to do with what will be on the test.

Comment:

Attendance is important, unfortunately. This is the WORST math class I have ever been in, so I stopped going which resulted in me failing. But the class was so bad I rather have the F and do things worth my time than go and maybe pass. The math taught in his "Intro to Contemporary Math" class, which is what I had him for, was nothing I had EVER se

Comment:

I'm terrible with math, so I took contemporary mathematics to avoid a difficult math class. Unfortunately, Woods is unclear and unable to keep anyone's attention for more than 5 seconds. Lots of extra credit, but good luck learning the material. Half the class is holding on to the hope that they'll barely pass.

Comment:

One of the most boring classes I have ever taken. He talks the whole time while the class sits there and has no idea what he is talking about. If you like to teach yourself everything then this is a good class for you. If you like to learn, do not take this class. Attendance isnt mandatory and tests are open note but the notes suck so good luck.

Wonderful!! He cares so much about his students that he comes in on his day off to help tutor you. Definitely easy to contact. He makes math wonderful. Very enthusiastic! Take him! You'll be glad you did. Explains everything very well.
