Wonderful and encouraging professor who cares about the students. The texts were extremely helpful and he helps as you write the final paper by guiding the students through valuable feedback.

Comment:
He lectures straight from his mind; there was no writing notes on the board or powerpoint to follow. He doesn't really engage the class or ask anyone to participate ever. The lectures are pretty boring and hard to follow. There are two papers and 4 multiple choice tests. The papers are pretty ambiguously graded and the tests come from the textbook.

1877-Now: 4 tests- 2 are multiple choice and 2 are questions about the books you read (don't really need to read); lecture is so boring and attendance isn't mandatory. If you have a basic knowledge of US history you'll be fine. use the ?s at the end of his book to study. One of the easier history classes for sure

Comment:
Total nerd. likes to make political jokes and sometimes he goes a little too far. I definitely didn't like him in the beginning because of all of his political comments and opinions. he is very biased and take what he says with a grain of salt. 4 tests, 2 rare take home and two are normal in class multiple choice tests.

survey from 1877 is a super easy class. attendance isn't mandatory. 4 tests and 2 homework assignments make up your grade. the book he suggests (the one he wrote) has questions you need to know at the end of the chapter; know them and you'll do fine on the tests.

Outstanding Professor and author! As a student of American history who has read countless books, his are among the best I've read. He cares and gives positive feedback. I learned a lot and would highly recommend taking a class from him!

Comment:
I feel everybody rates him based on how nice he is. He's extremely intelligent, but a HORRENDOUS teacher. He talks AT you, not TO you. Lectures are very boring, uninforming, & non-inspirational. While he has a bit of notoriety based on his intelligence & experience, unfortunately, he severely lacks in connecting w/ students. Avoid his class.

2 short homework worksheets, 4 exams (including final). Easy history class that is also really interesting. He only lectures, so that can get a little long sometimes. You don't ever have to read the book- just take good notes from his lectures. I really liked him and thought he was funny in a sorta dorky way. Would definitely take again!

Don't bother buying the book, unless you're really bad at history. If you just go to class and take good notes, you'll be fine. He gives you 2 homework assignments that are super easy and his exams (4) are too. Exams are composed of 60 MC and an essay. The MC are super easy and he'll even review with the class before he hands out the test.

Great professor! If you go to class, you'll be able to answer the study guides. His study guides are straight-forward and contain relevant information for his exams. Only 2 homework assignments and none of his exams are cumulative, including the final. Highly recommend.

Had him during the summer. He is one of the top teachers I've taken. He is vary fair and teaches vary good. There are hardly any professors like him in fairness and knowledge of the subject as well. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Test come directly from lectures.

Epitomizes the derailment of higher education. Clearly highly knowledgeable and writes very well. Good for tenure bad for teaching. Neither understands how to engage the student in the learning process nor how to participate to the advantage of the student. Grading is subjective, soft and arbitrary. Horrible teacher รข€" great historian.

Very fair professor. The exams come straight from his lectures so it is important to go to class. If you study and listen in class it's an easy A! He is my favorite professor at TCU! He is a very energetic speaker and makes class fun!

Comment:
I really like Woodworth as a person, but I was really not interested in the material we learned in this class. He is super knowledgable of the material, so he literally just stands at the front of the room and talks without power points or anything. As much as I tried to focus I always got bored in that class.

Best history class I've ever taken. Sticks to the facts. Everything comes from the lecture, so no need to get the book. No papers or homework, 4 exams and attendance quizzes. Go to the class, reread the notes prior to the next class, and the quizzes aren't a problem. Super helpful if you go to office hours. Great professor, great class.

I'm actually taking a class online through Liberty University, where he's also a professor. He is probably the one of the three best history professors I've had, and I have certainly taken my fair share of history classes. I highly recommend him. He's incredibly knowledgeable and very clear in what he is teaching. A++
