Comment:

First off: Go to class. He curves the grades and gives bonus, which you will get if you go to class. He is a funny guy, likes to swear a lot, and if you care about your grade in his class he will help you out. If he assigns reading from the book, do it, and always take good notes, not just from the board, but from what he says as well.

Comment:

The book is not used at all. Study the notes for the exams because the tests are hard. He has a grading curve and bonus points to help get the A. Attendance is not mandatory but i suggest attending because i doubt you will understand anything if you miss too much. Overall great professor and very funny likes sware.

Comment:

I was nervous about taking him, but turned out he was a great professor. You definitely have to study for his exams (study only the notes). You must learn the notes and understand them to answer his questions right. His letter grades are A(80-100), B(60-80) and so forth. Tons of bonus work, and only 4 exams. Great class and teacher, take him!!!!!!

Dr. Wood is very intresting. He is funny and also can make his class fun. His tests are somewhat hard, but if you study and take good notes, you should do well. Plus he offers extra credit too.

He started out as really easy but then stupid people in my class cheated. Now, he's the hardest prof. I have, and this is just a Gen Ed 100 class. It's killing almost everyone. Good Luck.

Comment:

I loved Dr. Wood. He is a very smart man and extremely interesting. He tells stories and gives you a reason to want to come to class but there is no attendance policy. Tests were pretty difficult by poli sci standards, but as long as you study you'll be fine. I would definitly recommend him to other students.

Comment:

I absolutely loved this course! I enjoyed his teaching style because he made students be involved in the class and appreciated that he didn't look down on people for having a political opinion that differed from his. I'm planning on taking another class that he teaches, even though I don't need another Poli Sci class.

Dr Wood has great stories and is very open to hearing students' opinions. Ask him about his ex-wife or when he had to apologize to a student for offending her.
