Plan to work very hard to keep up in Dr. Woods's Medieval Lit/Chaucer class. Brilliant and engaging presence in class. Weekly short paper and two long ones, large amounts of reading. No in class computers. If he knows you are working hard, he will give grace on deadlines. Looking forward to taking him again.

Comment:

Origins of Western Lit covers a lot of material. You'll have to read everything to stay on top of this class. Mr. Woods allows for lots of class discussion. You never know what you'll discover in his class. He's brilliant, helpful and very funny.

I think Dr. Woods is a truly nice person, but I was less than impressed with his class and his teaching style. His lectures tended to ramble and seemed to have no prior planning. I spent most class periods frustrated.

Comment:

Incredibly gifted professor. I am a Computer Science major with little interest in literature (I took the class to get my literature credit for graduation), yet I always went to class with eager anticipation. I credit Professor Woods for giving me a profound appreciation of classical literature. Highest possible recommendation.

Comment:

Participate in class and ask questions because this is one proff who loves his topic and loves to share it. You might not understand where some of his ideas come from dealing with the lit (or how Vendler got hers), but he respects your opinion and lets you air it if you want to. Very nice teacher and works with you if you need to redo or rewrite.

Woods is a fantastic professor! With a real enthusiasm for his subject, he is very understanding and as long as you do your readings you will do fine in his class. Momentary lapses of organization, be prepared to modify his syllabus as needed.

Be prepared to read and write, and if you are, you'll love him. I'm a second generation Woodsian student and that kind of sustained enthusiasm proves his genuine passion for what he does.

He's a competent professor but a bit condescending and personally intrusive...likes to remind people that he went to private school.
