Comment:

Woodin is so great! I took biostats with him and it's super manageable. He's very good about going over concepts that people aren't clear on, and he's very clear in his explanations. Makes biostats fun! Also very funny

Comment:

The 6-9pm Thursday night lecture is not the easiest to sit through, but overall this class isn't too hard. It was a little bit slow for my taste; we barely covered half of what was on the syllabus. But Woodin is funny and caring and tells lots of stories that help pass the time.

I LOVE PROF. WOODIN. Had him for epi and biostats, biostats was definitely a lot harder. His TA is an incredibly tough grader but he kind of makes up for it. He is a great guy and really cares.

Comment:

Woodin is a really good lecturer that will keep you engaged if you have the 3 hour night class. He is a super reasonable person and professor and relates well to his students. He knows soooo much about EPI but keeps the focus of his lecture small enough so that it is understandable in his intro-level course.

Comment:

Woodin is a funny guy and does a good job covering a boring topic. He does tend to go on weird tangents for just a bit too long and go on about a fairly simple topic for longer than necessary, but I think part of that is that the amount of material the course covers allows him to do that. In any case, I did well in the class without much work.

Comment:

Material is pretty dry, but Woodin is really funny and smart, and classes are interesting because of him. Course is pretty easy if you go to class, but beware: he SWEARS up and down on the first day that he's really good about emails, and responds within a day, but he NEVER responds to emails. Don't count on him for that. Otherwise great prof.

Comment:

As said before, Woodin enlivens a fairly dry topic with his stories, and thank the Lord. In terms of his humor, it is quite sarcastic and he is EXTREMELY frank via email or in person- it just takes some getting used to. Overall, a good guy and a valuable asset to the department.

I took his class about 5 yrs ago and I still remember him. This is a lively, fun,and very useful class! Epi is not a very interesting subject, but Prof. Woodin brought it to life for our class! Great Professor. I will never forget him. God bless you prof. Woodin. I am a person of color and did not find anything he said offensive.

Woodin is a great teacher! The subject could be really boring but he keeps the class interesting. He really seems to care about the students and is very helpful. He's quite funny. Everything is group projects - even the final! Great guy.

Comment:

This class was incredibly boring. Professor Woodin, while a very nice man, tends to go on tangents and take far longer to explain things than need be. He explains the material clearly, yet is not very succinct and has a tendency to ramble. I will note that I am not a major in the department, so perhapse the material just did not appeal to me.

I loved this class! All the work is done in groups, which takes alot of pressure off. His lectures are always entertaining, and he really makes otherwise boring material really interesting.

Professor Woodin was great! I have no idea what the rest of these people are talking about. If anything he's on the opposite end of the spectrum from biggoted. Class was interesting, he's funny (in a sort of nerdy professor way).

What an unprofessional professor! This guy should be a ****/**** stand-up comedian, not a professor. Oh, and did I mention he got his PhD. from Harvard? Yeah, he thinks that's pretty hot, but it got pretty old after hearing it for the millionth time.

Comment:

I found him extremely irritating. Tries really hard to be cool, thinks he's smart and students aren't. White dude from new england who doesn't know how NOT to be offensive when talking about women, people of color, and working class people. glad its over
