Comment:

Greg is a beauty to say the least. His exams are hard but gives you the benefit of the doubt by allowing you to do extra credit. I learned a lot in this class. Like i said, he's good for some funny humor and does the right thing if you show up to class. Just make sure you follow up on things and you'll be fine.

This is the first time I'm writing a review on a teacher and this teacher was by far the worst I had all semester, if not so far in undergrad. 3 Exams that you study the book WORD to WORD and the notes, which he barely makes specific in class. Quizzes/project wasn't much help. Not recommended for anyone who wants high GPA. Warning you now.

Comment:

Social Media (MKT607) was an interesting class. It was "co-taught" with Renee Martinez. In all actuality, Renee did all of the teaching and Dr. Wood came out of nowhere, assigned a project (2 part project), gave the first part of the project back 3 days before the 2nd was due and the 2nd was based off the grading of the first. Not very good.

Comment:

This class was EXTREMELY helpful and worthwhile. The experience this class provides is absolutely priceless for those hoping to succeed in the realms of not just Marketing, but Social Media and Public Relations and Advertising as well. I highly recommend it, though it is certainly a time-consuming and difficult course.

Comment:

While this course was relatively new, I found it to be one of the most beneficial and applicable courses to what I needed to know for the actual working world. All assignments are done online via a multitude of different platforms, yet we met in class if extra clarification was needed. Scheduled work load every week but well worth it!!

Comment:

Class brought my interest in social media to a new level, where I could better understand things I use every day. The class is definitely a lot of work, but the content is interesting and you can do it at your own pace, which is nice. Dr. Wood quickly responds with answers to questions with thorough explanations. I would take it again.

Comment:

Wood assigned 15-25 hours of confusing assignments with no instructions or grading rubric every week. I did not receive a single grade for the dozens of assignments I submitted all semester. Then he writes an email that he is sorry that he didn't give clear instructions and for giving so much work that he is unable to grade it all. AVOID!

Interesting lectures and topics. Seems very up to date with social media and technology. Everything is spelled out in the syllabus, just follow the instructions, pay attention and you'll do fine. People who complain probably just didn't pay attention. Great teacher!

This was an interesting and enjoyable class. The workload is fairly heavy. So long as you attend class and keep up with readings, you will do well in this class. What you put in to the class, you will get out of it. Overall, great professor and very interesting class.

Comment:

Very good teacher. Takes material that is otherwise boring and puts a good twist on it to help you stay engaged and follow along. Good mix of presentation approaches. You take a quiz on the reading in every class, so keep up with the reading, although if you can sometimes get by reading the chapter summary in a jam. Good class overall.

Comment:

Because we took the three hour course, classes were a little boring towards the end. But he knows his stuff, and it is interesting if you like psychology or marketing. Nice guy, kinda funny too. Take projects seriously, and DONT CHEAT!

Comment:

Very different course - instructor uses a computer simulation where we ran our own "companies". If you put the time into the project, you could learn a lot. Wood met with each team individually every week. I liked this much better than doing written cases. I think he's a good teacher and recommend the course highly.

Comment:

Dr. Wood is a very good teacher. He is able to take material that is confusing and relate it to his students. There are a few group and individual assignments that he assigns as well as about 5 small quiz's and a midterm and final. I would suggest taking this class if you have any interest in Marketing or Psychology

This guy is great. He will really help you understand consumer behavior. Always there to meet outside of class. 'Don't smoke cigarettes!'

Probably one of the best classes I've taken. He starts each class with a music video related to the class topic. Lots of creative assignments. Great teacher.
