Comment:

Woodman is actually a great teacher. She does get a little scrambled and flustered, mostly when it comes to technology. She is not extremely clear when it comes to due dates while in class but she sends out like 6 e-mails a day and keeps you updated on what has been graded. There is no exam. Hands out extra credit like it was candy on Halloween.

Great teacher. Knows what she it talking about. Have to get into the flow of things before you understand the class. Doesn't know how to explain things about the class and how it works very well. Have to kind of figure it out on your own.

Comment:

Professor Woodman can be very confusing at times. She is a great lady you will just need a little time to get used to her. This class seems pointless but I have actually learned a lot from it. Pay attention in class, show up and do your work even if it is late she will still accept it just make sure it is a quality job.

Comment:

Professor Woodman is a tough teacher when it comes to grading, but she gives out extra credit like it is nothing. If you ask questions, a majority of the time she will tell you to put bonus points on your puzzle me. She does not tell you a lot about what is due, but sends a lot of emails. It is an easy class to pass though! Just do your work.

You don't even need the book. Just ask a lot of questions and you should be fine. Very unclear about everything. I hater her at first but she's actually not bad at all. If you ask for help she will help no question asked. Sweet lady out of class.

Comment:

She was an overall good teacher but she was all over the place. The good thing about that is you can turn stuff late in because she was a pushover. She's super random which makes class pretty funny. Just take online quizzes when due, write that long paper when she talks about it & you're good.

I loved this professor! She is super nice and will help you with anything, just go to her office hours. She does give a paper but if you listen in class she will tell you exactly what she wants in the paper. She gives out easy points and tons of bonus points so there is no reason to be failing her class. I would definitely take her class again!

Comment:

This professor is absolutely terrible. She doesnt explain the work we do most of the time and we usually have to figure it out for ourselves. We spend have the class on a research paper which she critiques to nothing anyway. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CLASS IF YOU CAN.

Comment:

At first, I thought this class would be the death of me because there is so much work and she expects a lot with pressure. As the days went on, it got easier and paying attention is the key. She is helpful if you go to her...its not just going to be handed to you. She is a good professor.

Comment:

I really enjoyed this class. She gives a TON of work but none of it is even that hard. When you get to writing the final paper it is very lengthy and kind of difficult to manage your time around it, but she is a good teacher. I hated her at first, but it really isn't a bad class. Just very time consuming. I would recommend taking her. I have an A+!

Comment:

Would never recommend taking this teacher. She is completely unorganized, gives you a ton of work sheets almost daily, required papers weekly, had to write a 10-15 page research paper, grades hard on everything because she also taught English, talks more about herself than the actual class. On a good note, she's nice...thats it.

Comment:

This teacher is very, very unorganized. Does not know how to work technology. Her class is very hard, you have to do a paper every week due Friday. And then a big final exam on those weekly papers that is 10-15 pages, PLUS a board game. Reading two to three books at once, online quizzes also. A LOT, A LOT of work. Be prepared and have a lot of time

Comment:

She is a very knowledgeable teacher. She likes to tell a lot of stories relating to her life, which is good and bad. Good because it allows you to get to know her, bad because it wastes a lot of time. Other than that her class is very interesting, one of my favorites.

Comment:

massive work load, assignments are easy, no mid term, buy all recommended books, highly unorganized curriculum (get a study buddy), class requires its own back pack due to all of the friggin handouts, show up every day, teacher is nice and approachable.
