I loved this class! consistent workflow for syllabus. I learned so much! He doesn't just ask you a definition he challenges your ability to understand - its not word for word. You can't just look stuff up though its online you need to understand! Big plus for me! Great teacher super nice ++ - only downside book at times differing terms of books

Comment:

I took his online Econ 2 class as a prerequisite for my business major. I was surprised at how much I learned from all the Discussion Board posts. You definitely have to put time and effort into your posts, as they are not simple responses, but take some research. Our text was free which was great, as it saved money. Kind and caring professor!

I enjoyed the discussion post, class was very well structured for an online class. I've had bad experiences with online classes in the past. If you put in the work you will get the grade you want.

Comment:

This was an extremely easy class. However, he gave short portions of an online textbook to read, and linked some youtube videos for the content. I really wanted to learn about macro economics, but did not feel that there was enough material to do so. Also, with the homework, he would give you links each week that did NOT have the info you needed.

Comment:

Professor Woodward explains Macro Economics really clear. If you did not like Micro Econ, Macro Econ is definitely better. Macro Econ teaches more about rules and policy, whereas Micro has more math. I learned so much about Macro Econ from Woodward. He provides real life experience from videos and discussion. Take Woodward if you can.

Comment:

Professor Woodward is great. I do not like econ, but taking Macro Econ with Professor Woodward made me realize how much Macro Econ is useful. If you need help with anything that is Econ related, go to Woodward. I like Macro Econ more than Micro Econ. Professor Woodward, if you are reading this, you're the best Macro Econ professor at Saddleback.

Fairly easy class. Do the work and you'll get an A. 16 weekly quizzes, 2 discussions, a midterm/final. We didn't use the book as he provided us with Concept Coach. I just wished he responded to emails. I would send him an email, hear from him a week later, he would reply with 1 sentence and you'll never hear from him again after.

The class was an easy A. He gives you hw practices before you take the graded hw which are also the same questions you will see on the final. He is a fair grader with the discussion posts,but they are easy to do. If you sent him an email he responded ASAP. Overall, pretty good professor. Highly recommend him! :)

I took his Macroeconomics class online, and he was very clear and organized. He provides many supplemental videos that help explain things even more than the textbook. There are also optional practice homework assignments, which I found very helpful before doing the actual assignment or test.
