Comment:

I took a class from him in 1975. Okay as an economics professor, I suppose, but very opinionated. Makes adverse comments about religious beliefs in which he does not agree.

Comment:

His classes are unorganized and he lectures about his opinions more than the material. For one whole week he lectured on the global warming theory for example, and not the material that we needed to know for an upcoming test. If you read the book and study it throughly you will survive a near impossible task of passing.

Comment:

If you have an interest in economic theory, listen to what he says, and go see him after class. He is pragmatic about his views. He is very dry, and has the impossible task of instructing 18 year freshman who haven't slightest clue about economics. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to major in Poly Sci/Econ. If not, transfer hours in

Comment:

Was the class I studied the most for and was the only one I earned a B in my first year. I went to every tutoring sessions and thought I knew the material but then some random test question would screw me over. I recommend transferring econ credits over.

Comment:

First off he doesnt allow test retakes, he's EXTREMELY paranoid with the safety of the test. My sister died and I had to attend her funeral, I emailed him to let him know what happened, his response was I'm sorry no retakes.he has serious issues.Hes such a horrible professor that more than half of my class is failing right now! Test are very random

Comment:

Ok, so I think I should have gotten a C, but he saw that I was really trying; I got a B+. Tests are kind of random, but pick his brain, he tends to highlight important stuff in office hours. Make the effort to go, it will pay off. Read the book and make your life easier.

Comment:

Do not take any Economics courses at Stetson, every professor and student will tell you the classes and department are worthless. Dr. Wood is very unclear in how he teaches, I found myself learning more from the textbook and the tutor.

HE is the sweetest and most helpful man. He is a bit scattered but lays everything out in black and white online nad in class. Read the book, follow the lecture and its a piece of cake.

Comment:

This guy does not know how to teach. He expects you to figure things out and learn on your own. Good luck getting answers to your questions. He is a bit scrambly and his answers go in all directions. DON'T TAKE THIS TEACHER UNLESS YOU CAN LEARN ON YOUR OWN.

Comment:

Even though this class was boring, if you attend it it is an easy B. He is a bit nerdy, but if you laugh at his jokes, he'll give you the benefit of the doubt when it comes to your grades

Comment:

he seems to have an attachment to an old book that we aren't using anymore, however he still feels nesseary to lecture from it using a program that does not allow us to look at the notes after class. His tests are extreamly vague and he posts a practice test but NO ANSWERS how are we to learn.

Comment:

Class was like watching a **** ramble on about economic theory. Frequent subject changes coupled with random worksheets gave students no way to prepare for tests. It was a large class, but that's no excuse for Wood's poor instruction.
